For the thief on the iPhone treacherous trap: From pictures, voice recorder, a local position to the transport, iPhone can monitor everything and send to the registered users. The increased security is also of interest to business customers: As defined distance can be synchronized to the heartbeat of the user's computer and cut the iPhone for only specific users.
But a new patent application Apple goes even further, if the device falls into the hands of thieves. De application was already submitted in early 2010, but published online last Thursday. According to Apple's description of the mobile device is an all its functions to identify the thief and Place: The iPhone features the voice of the user who uses the geotag information to evaluate the internal Acceleration sensor out to determine how the device is being transported and receives no sound and display images of the environment that hopefully reveal thief and residence location. According to the patent application to all the information collected will be forwarded as an e-mail, text message or via VoIP to the registered owner.
In addition, the technology could also be used to transfer all private data remotely and save. The "Find My iPhone" So far only allowed to delete the data and makes a backup. But thanks to the use of technology in the patent is to the general safety are also drastically increased. It states, inter alia, also conceivable that an iPhone its registered owner identified on heart rate and other users a variety of functions automatically shuts off.
Interestingly, the increased security, especially for corporate customers, but theoretically they can also use Apple to Jailbreak, Unapproved Unlock or Malware exploits to prevent and suppress non-Apple approved software installation.
This is a good subject to tackle. Would be more interesting to have a conversation about it.
