  Until the launch of a television manufactured by Apple and controlled by Siri, we have a plugin for a proxy dedicated to the assistant developed by the company from Cupertino. The plugin allows users to control a TV but also to find out information about the movies or shows that are playing at that moment. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't seem willing to implement something like this for our iDevices unless everything will be linked to a TV that could be released next year.

  If Siri is not to your taste, then maybe you are interested in a facial recognition system conceive by Apple for our iDevices. Apple has thought of an iOS that automatically customizes itself according to users' preferences when it recognizes their faces. Systems like this already exist in Mac/PCs, so the implementation in mobile terminals would be the next logical step. After the iDevice recognizes a user, it customizes its interface, applications and settings, and if several users use the same iDevice, each one will have its own settings.

Systems of this kind should have already appeared in iDevices, but we are talking about patents that will probably not arrive in one of our terminals very soon.
