The new patent is about collecting biometric information of an unauthorized device user. Presumably, the purpose of this technology is to assist in recovering stolen devices:
Video-Based Point Cloud Compression with Variable Patch Scaling
Aside from this technology actually being patentable...
This technology stores the captured images, videos, etc. of the unauthorized user both local and transmit to Apple servers.
How will this technology decide, if the "surveillance" of the end user, be that legit or unauthorized, should be triggered? The legit owner of the device could enter the PIN couple of times incorrectly and/or takes couple of tries to unlock the device via fingerprint.
Just curious how it works and its implications to the legitimate end users...
