Future AirPods might know who's wearing them based on the user's movements!
The patent goes into detail about the capabilities of headphones and all the ways they can share personal information while being used. One examplegives is when a user receives a message on their phone, which is then read by the digital assistant through the audio device they are carrying.
Firstly, the owner would need to have both an iPhone and an Apple Watch with them. That way, there would be three devices on the wearer, tracking their movements. After that, the results are compared to one another and a decision is made whether to restrict private information or not. For example, first movement information corresponding to movement of a second electronic device is detected. Second movement information corresponding to the movement of a third electronic device is detected. A similarity score is determined based on the first movement information and the second movement information. Following a determination that the similarity score is above a threshold similarity score, a user is identified as an authorized user [of the headphones.
In the cases when the audio device does not recognize the wearer as the owner of said headphones, however, a set of restrictions could then be implemented. Mostly, the unauthorized wearer wouldn't be able to access any personal data by using the device.
