Samsung and Google have also created through the management wink to increase security so that in addition to face recognition, there must also be a physical action. The "trick" seems to work better but still a lot can be done. According to these patents, dating back to June 2012, but published only now, Google is working on algorithms for advanced recognition able to receive, in addition to particular actions, even wrinkles, movements of the lashes, tongue and other facial expressions that could further improve the safety This release system.
