EyeLock Lands Patent on Iris-Based ID Authentication Feature for Mobile Devices

Voxx subsidiary EyeLock received U.S. Patent No. 9,633,260 for biometric identity authentication said to contribute to the performance of EyeLock's technology used in mobile devices. The invention uses conditions of the eye's iris "to predict a time sequence for acquiring a high probability of quality iris images” and then acquires a series of images during that window, said the company in a Wednesday announcement. The patent complements the company’s recently issued U.S. Patent No. 9,626,563, it said.
