Middle-Class versus Clear ID fingerprint sensor

January 12, 2018 Concept Machine Learning Smartphones Technology 44

Clear ID

CES(Consumer Electronic Show) 2018 was held from 9th Jan 2018 to 12th Jan 2018 at the LA convention centre.

And like every year, it showcased a lot of technology like Razer’s Project Linda, Honor View 10, Nvidia GeForce NOW etc. for us tech nerds to follow throughout the year.

One of the most anticipated among all that mouth-watering tech was Synaptics’ Clear ID fingerprint sensor.

Yes, time to answer those questions which are already popping up in your minds.

But before that, let’s talk a little bit about fingerprint sensors.

Fingerprint sensors were first introduced in phones(Toshiba G500 and G900) in 2007 but didn’t do that well.

Later in 2012, Apple acquired a company named AuthenTec which was focused on Fingerprint reading and Identification Management.

Hence, in 2013, Apple introduced fingerprint sensor on an iPhone 5S and named it as Touch ID.

Since then, we have seen a boom in the fingerprint industry with every other phone carrying a fingerprint, whether on the front or the back and sometimes on the side as well.

And they’re snappy as hell now. You’d feel like you haven’t even touched the sensor and the phone is unlocked.

What is next for the fingerprint sensor market?

Clear ID is clearly the next big thing for the fingerprint sensor market.

Yes, Yes. We get it, but…

What is Clear ID?

Despite getting snappier day by day, a fingerprint sensor still takes a lot of space on the outside of your phone, on the front, at the back/sides.

But with Synaptics’ new sensor, it wouldn’t need a separate fingerprint reader module to read your fingerprint.

It’d do the same thing, but from below the glass of the screen and in a different way.

Simply put, no more of those sensors at the front or the back. We’ll just have to place our finger on the screen and Voila! Phone unlocked.

How does Clear ID work?

Well, before knowing that, you should know how any fingerprint sensor work so that we can work out the differences between them.

Everyone has a different fingerprint pattern.

When you first place our finger on a fingerprint sensor, it creates an image of the ridges and valleys which constitutes your fingerprint using electric current.

Now, whenever you put your finger on the sensor after that, it matches the image with the one it created at first.

Clear ID sensor takes a different approach. The approach similar to your retina scanner.

When you put your finger on the place beneath which the sensor is placed, it clicks a picture of your fingerprint.

It then matches the picture with the new picture it took when you wanted to unlock your phone.

Is Clear ID secure?

CES 2018 was a big and busy event with thousands of people wanting to try thousands of products.

So, maybe, we couldn’t try out everything Clear ID had to offer.

But one thing is certain.

If the screen is pressure sensitive, it’s much more secure than if it isn’t.

Drawbacks of Clear ID?

There is one for the records.

The response time is 0.7 seconds.

On paper, this looks like a very short period, but when compared to the current fingerprint readers, it turned out to be as much as 75% slower.

Is Clear ID available on the market right now?

Not exactly.

The handset they were showcasing it on was a prototype from a Chinese smartphone manufacturer named Vivo.

Apart from that, Synaptics confirmed that they are currently working with five market leaders to bring Clear ID to their smartphones.

Any guesses?

Apart from Vivo, Apple might be just in line after the famous “twin failure” of Face ID to get the Clear ID for their phones.

Rumours were there that Oneplus‘ next phone might have a no reader fingerprint sensor. That might be an indication towards the Clear ID.

Samsung can definitely use some of the Clear ID to get rid of those awkwardly positioned fingerprint sensors.

How will Clear ID affect the smartphones?

For starters, the smartphones coming with Clear ID would be slimmer as they wouldn’t need a separate module for a fingerprint reader.

We are not sure about the pricing, but the removal of a separate ceramic fingerprint reader module should put somewhat a dent in the cost of a smartphone.

 

If you have any questions or doubts, feel free to drop them in the comment section below. I will try to answer them as soon as I can.

See you in the next one.
