Xiaomi is one of the fastest growing brands in the smartphone market in recent years, and it recently announced investing a large amount for the next few years in research and development. Part of this investment is being made to improve technology in its smartphones, such as the phone the company will be working on, a device that seeks to have an all-screen fingerprint reader.
Xiaomi has patented an interesting system to achieve its task in which the user can place his finger anywhere on the screen to unlock the device later.
The above does not mean that phones equipped with this technology will have a huge fingerprint reader that covers the entire screen, but that infrared sensors will be used throughout the screen, which when recognizing the fingerprint will be reflected on the fingerprint reader so that you can compare later. This reflection is done with a copy of your fingerprint or fingerprints stored on the device.
Since it is a patent, it is still difficult to know what success this technology could be. Another important detail is that being a patent does not necessarily mean that the company actually has plans to release a phone with this technology in the short term, as patents are filed many times to prevent direct competitors from using similar technology in their phones. However, Xiaomi has been ranked in recent years as one of the companies that strive to be a leader in the characteristics of its phones.
