There are several possible ways to unlock the cell phone: facial recognition, biometrics, numerical passwords, written passwords and design patterns. The news is that probably another way to emerge soon, as Huawei has registered a patent for a smartphone unlocking by voice recognition.

Huawei innovates with voice recognition technology
With so many possibilities available to meet this need, it almost seems like there won't be any left. Don't we have enough? So it is. A Chinese company, Huawai, showed that there is always a way to innovate, so it applied for a patent in China regarding a technology that recognizes the voice of the owner of the cell phone through some standards. It will be used to unlock the device.
How it works?
The company said it will work through a voice signal. If the smartphone is not unlocked, it will check if the voice pattern is the same as the owner of the user. If so, the cell phone will then be available for use.
voice recognition
Voice recognition technology has been increasingly used by large companies.
We already know that Apple has Siri while Amazon has Alexa. They interpret what is said through ten voices and perform certain functions. This technology uses Natural Language Processing. Audio is divided into bits that are converted into digital format and interpreted using word patterns.
The novelty brought by Huawai is that, although the technology already exists and is widely used, none of them was designed for cell phone unlocking. It innovates by using and adapting the resource so that it is possible to identify the people who are authorized to use that device.
Everything faster, after all, it will not be necessary to use passwords or biometrics.
When will the technology be implemented?
Registering a patent can mean that cell phones are already being produced, but it can also just mean that the idea has come up and is being worked on. Therefore, it is not possible to define when something like this will be present in the next devices. They might not even show up.
We believe that the resource is unlikely to be wasted, so we should soon see the novelty in stores.
