iPhone: Apple Patent Should Illegal Recording Videos Suppress

Apple apparently is working on a technology that could be used, among other things, to stop video recording to the iPhone in certain situations. The iPhone maker has been awarded a corresponding patent on Tuesday.

Apple's new patent number 9,380,225 describes under the name of "systems and methods for receiving infrared data with a camera to detect images using visible light," a technique that could use Apple to the video recording function of the iPhone camera blocking under certain conditions.

With the technology Apple could detect if you want to film a concert with the iPhone by artists who do not want records of their performances, infrared data send out, prevent the illegal photos or videos, for example. In the patent, as another example, classified events or facilities mentioned, which may not be filmed.

"If the data contains a shutdown, the device can temporarily for a certain time after receiving the command to switch off the recording function (30 seconds or 30 minutes)", according to the patent. "After disabling the recording function, the device would not be able to save images. Depending on the version, the device would not even be able to display images on the display. "In addition, it is possible, using the technique to erase the last stored recordings.

Even the artist himself go before against the fixation of their performances. Alicia Keys recently announced that smartphones have to be plugged in concerts in a special envelope. So they should not be used during live performances.

Primarily Apple wants but use the infrared data to detect objects or places and to trigger appropriate actions. An iPhone could then, for example, automatically offer in an exhibition, a guided tour or to call attention to a retail store on the latest offers.

The patent is not Apple's first attempt to restrict illegal use of its equipment. A mid-2012 granted patent number 8,254,902 provides details on a technique for "policy enforcement on a wireless device." Such guidelines could, for example, force an iPhone is placed in a movie automatically set to "silent" or changes to an aircraft in airplane mode and all wireless connections turned off.

But the property right 8,254,902 also mentions a function that could lead to controversy, Apple should actually be integrated into its products. They would allow authorities iPhones temporarily disable completely. In a disaster situation, this could be useful in order to prevent overloading of mobile networks, which are also needed for the coordination of rescue teams. In repressive states, but it would be also possible to restrict the communication of users.

A patent in itself is, of course, no evidence that Apple will use a technique in the foreseeable future. The company owns hundreds property rights that were never realized.

RAISE TO WAKE "FROM THE IPHONE 6S AND SE

Who installed iOS 10 on an iPhone 6 or older, will be without the practical "picked for activating" function. "Raise to Wake" as the feature in the American original to say, is quite practical. Taking the iPhone from the table and moved it, then the display will light up directly. A similar function brings watchOS for the Apple Watch with also. Turning the wrist toward the head, then the display jumps directly. The integrated tilt sensor of the watch makes it possible. Such a sensor also brings the smart Siri remote that comes with the Apple TV to the fourth generation. Thanks to the "Raise to Wake" function, the screen dims during periods of inactivity of the user and will brighten again when gripped the remote control.

On the iPhone, the user must activate the display with one touch still. Only then can you look for notifications or read the time. With Raise to Wake Apple relieves the home button and the on / off switch. Because they should be pressed 9 and older iOS if you want to activate the display. If one uses the buttons less, then the life of the movable buttons extended sure crucial. A disadvantage is the function most of the built-in battery. After all, the battery life will decline rapidly with certainty if the display at every regard "the manual take-in".

RAISE TO WAKE: ONLY FOR IPHONE 6S AND SE

Beta testers have found that Raise to wake only works with newer iPhones as Mac & i reported. Apple sets for Raise to Wake ie a built-A9 chip ahead. This is currently the iPhone SE, incorporated iPhone 6s and iPhone 6S Plus.

WWDC 2016 - The Top 5 iOS stolen 10 Features

WWDC 2016 - The Top 5 iOS stolen 10 features Apple has once again properly poached in the competition and so stole some features for iOS 10th. We show the 5 most audacious copies and explain who this has ultimately invented or first published.

One more comment to yesterday's WWDC 2016 Keynote? But Every night, because nothing is more entertaining than the self-proclaimed reformation hold up a mirror and draw attention to the sometimes shameless copies in iOS 10th Care, I would of course point out that no Apple competitor will sue the team in Cupertino here for. Given the functions and processes need are simply too complex. we would here talk about rounded corners or "Slide to Unlock", then one can ever call the US courts and lead a spectacular process.

Wait a minute ... Apple vs Samsung? The mother of all patent battles, which by months the dt. Busied media landscape and variety of wannabe experts. Where do we look like? Samsung has not yet remitted a single cent toward Cupertino. Not one, and this is owing to the sometimes treacherous "ribbed" functions just as well. Since 5 years this dispute smolders now and should now again be renegotiated. Only no one reported over it. Samsung was branded as worse copier and Apple could be feted. Oh, the world is so simple if it is beautiful flat.

But back to iOS 10 and my very personal Top 5 of the features that Apple has once again copied in the competition. Probably one reason why the R & D expenses not quite set the industry standard with the friends from Cupertino.

1. Apple Messages

Apart from the fact that the Apple Messenger pretty much the hardest digital communication tool was, it is still a wonderful example for the patchwork development chaos in Cupertino. We just take all that competitors have already partly, stir it again thoroughly and ... taraaaaa, it's amazing!

The "Emojify" feature for years is in this form by the way already in the line-Messenger. For determine Schluesselworte Emoji are automatically available and can be taken over:

Or what about the new "bubble effect" in Messages? less than 4 weeks ago, Google presented at the I / O 2016, the so-called "Whisher / Shout" effect. Chat bubbles can large- or be made small in order to visualize volume and intensity of a statement.

2. iOS Photos app

Machine Learning here, face recognition there. Apples "Buehnenarbeiter" led us during the WWDC 2016 Keynote from this amazingly crazy realm of "magic". Look, we group all of your photos in the future automatich and "Memories" function then sorts images into appropriate categories. Here is an event, as the holiday trip and there's birthday party. Yes you whatâ even let it create videos with matching music. Gorgeous!

3. Apple Maps

Anyone who wants to submit a request Uber directly within or from the Apple Maps app in the future or even a table in the favorite restaurant would like to book (via OpenTable), can now do so. This includes Apple now on to Google Maps that offers these two functions since November, 2014. Where, in the case OpenTable we need the clock actually to turn back by 3 years. In May 2013, it was integrated into Google Maps for Android.

But that is not enough, because even the small stops can now define within Apple Maps. A quick ne gas station or a frit Ranch take? All this is now available with the card software from Cupertino and therefore iOS users are no longer dependent on the competing product from Mountain View. Google Maps has these features namely already since last year in the offer. Moreover, even under iOS:

4. Apple Music

Ok, I give myself beaten. Apple Music is not necessarily a feature of iOS 10, but the feature which have so wonderfully pitched Californians, that's old hat!

"Discovery Mix" called Apple its very personal playlist. So personally for the user, which thereby matching tracks are delivered. An algorithm analyzes the listening habits and preferences and then pushes similar songs by.

5. Siri for the Desktop

Now I over exaggerating but slowly, because ultimately iOS now is not necessarily a desktop OS. Aaaaaber, it started so under iOS and Apple linked hereby macOS and iOS stronger together.

But what Apple because in his keynote address presented, which is now also old hat. Time looking up after a few documents and this perhaps also in the appropriate context ("show me all presentation from November 2014), which takes us damn familiar. Right, Cortana can this already Windows 10th.
