Apple TV is the future of television in the vision of the Apple company, this after the Apple TV project was canceled by those in Cupertino, they focused on improving the small Apple TV in order to offer new services.
In this idea, the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), developed a remote control with Touch ID for Apple TV, allowing users to gain access to the product using their fingerprint, but based on it they could also control various other functions, including the purchase of content or desired applications.
Separate from fingerprint reading, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), describes in his patent a remote control capable of recognizing an iris or running voice commands, so we are talking about a complex accessory to be able to control Apple TV, company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), preparing it for launch.
Based on the biometric information read by this remote control for Apple TV, Apple claims that it can customize the product for the users who are going to use it, the system being similar to the one used for logging in as a user in OS X, for example.
In many cases, electronic devices may include access limitation features such as passcodes or passwords to prevent inappropriate modification of settings. For example, a television may require a passcode to tune particular channels. In still other examples, a home security system may require a password to cancel a false alarm.
Using this system, Apple could display on the Apple TV a person's favorite TV channels, the most used applications, or control various objects in the home through HomeKit and set the temperature, lights or air conditioning after reading a fingerprint.
The idea behind this product for Apple TV is extremely interesting and will definitely attract more people to Apple TV, but it remains to be seen if it will ever be launched, patents being often registered by Apple, the technologies themselves being implemented more rarely.
