Sharp 904SH with face recognition

by Jayvee on February 28th, 2006

Sharp’s 904SH mobile phone is now available in Japan. It’s got the usual features .. keypad, screen (480 x 640 though so wow!), sound thingee, and yes a face recognition software. This next step in security allows the owner to scan his or her face, making it a living key to all the phone’s functions. That’s the purpose of the second camera.

Another well .. interesting feature is that the 904SH comes with a built in constellation map. Since GPS navigators are so00000 yesterday!

The Sharp 904SH comes with an unbeatable method of securing your data - face recognition. The phone can be programmed to recognise the face of the user and it will remain locked and keep anyone from accessing its memory / functions until the handset verifies that the face is that of its user. For this purpose, a secondary camera is used which is close to the primary display. In case of some problem such as insufficient light due to which the face cannot be scanned, then the handset falls back on older technology which includes asking a secret question to allow access.

    Sharp’s 904SH mobile phone is a great product.
    In case of insufficient light to scan face, the handset could also use a flash as an ordinary camera or enhance the screen light to illuminat the face.
