A Google Patent Surfaces Covering an Iris Scanning System

Biometrics is a class of user verification with the focus of identification of humans using characteristics unique to a particular human. Google thinks that conventional biometric systems and techniques of today are relatively inconvenient to use. The inconvenience is exacerbated as the number of secure devices continues to grow. As such, new approaches for user verification are need and desired. This is Google's second patent on bringing Iris scanning technology to the forefront based on a unique contact lens system. However the original patent laying the foundation out for this invention was filed before Apple's Touch ID was publicly introduced. Apple's Touch ID is convenient and has been recently extended to their mobile wallet application called Apple Pay. In that light, it is the Google Contact Lenses biometric system that now appears to be the inconvenient biometric methodology in the big picture. Yet with that said, Google's invention has its strengths and our report points them out.
