Apple files patent for AI-powered security camera

Cupertino-based Apple is reportedly venturing into the security camera market with a new technology that combines facial recognition with a unique “bodyprint” system to identify individuals based on both their face and physical characteristics.This innovation builds upon Apple’s existing facial recognition technology, already seen in devices like iPhones, and extends its capabilities to include a “bodyprint” feature. To make this possible, the camera would continuously capture and store images of individuals approaching the user’s home. Reportedly, these images would be analysed using deep learning models, allowing the system to learn the physical characteristics of various people. Should Patents be given a limited time of a decade to allow for creativity ?
