Apple Insider published that Apple furnished the most recent patent, addressing new user authentication methods based on different heart rhythms. The patent details a technology used to incorporate the sensor. It provides detection of the electrical signals and the activity of a user’s cardiac function in electronic devices. Once the user authenticates, this information becomes basis of identification a starting of device operations.

It can be useful for biometric identification that is safe because every person has a distinct heart rhythm. These two different patterns of the can currently get detects by the ECG sensor already in the Apple Watches. To start this, users can touch the watch’s digital crown and use the ECG app. This makes a connection that helps record the electrical signals from the heart. 

Apple now wants to use this new patent and extend the heart rhythm data to authenticate all its devices. The technology may also let users easily unlock their Apple devices if the wearer wears their Apple Watch. Just like the users can at present use the Apple watch to unlock the Macs, this will help enhance both security and flexibility. 

There are also discussions on how this technology could directly be integrated into iPhones and other Apple products. Which could reduce the interface’s complexity by suggesting that touching an iPhone could eventually be used to instantly authenticate users through their heart rates.  

It describes probable applications, for instance, monitoring a user’s mood based on the heart rhythm information. For instance, the device may adjust the exercise music list depending on the heart rates in the process of exercising that depicts the emotion. The objective of this comprehensive approach is to allow easier and ‘way more personal’ interaction with technology.
