At the moment when masks have become a must-have for our daily travel, how can mobile phone users who are accustomed to using facial recognition and payment ensure health protection while also unlocking their mobile phones conveniently and quickly? Today, Huawei Mate 50 Pro and Mate 50 RS Porsche Design announced the launch of the face recognition function wearing a mask, which supports users to unlock their phones and use their phones to pay when wearing masks, meeting users' face recognition needs in various complex environments.
3D depth camera is matched with a new algorithm to accurately recognize unique features of faces
The newly released Huawei Mate50 Pro and Mate 50 RS Porsche design integrates many precision components in the small notch screen. Among them, the 3D ToF depth camera allows these two flagship models to have new 3D face recognition capabilities, which can capture more refined and richer facial features.
It is also on this basis that Huawei R&D team has completely upgraded the face unlocking algorithms of the two models, realizing high-precision recognition of facial areas. Even if users wear masks, the mobile phone can still easily and safely unlock by identifying unique facial features in non-mask areas.
Simple four steps to enter face data, easily enable face recognition with masks
When Mate 50 Pro and Mate 50 RS Porsche designs are updated to HarmonyOS 3.0.0.156, first we need to enter face data unlocking in masks. Enter the Setup Biometrics and Password Face Recognition, click "Start Enter" to enter the face input interface, and enter the full face data as per the screen prompts.
After the face is entered, for users who do not wear glasses on a daily basis, the system will prompt "Whether to turn on the mask recognition" and click "Open" and "Finish" to complete the mask-proofing and unlock facial data entry.
For users who wear glasses on a daily basis, the system will require a secondary entry of face. At this time, you can click "Set Now" to take off your glasses and enter facial data again.
Friends who like to wear different glasses and put on different makeups in daily life can also choose "Input more glasses or makeup" to enter the facial status of different makeup and glasses into the mobile phone to improve the unlocking success rate. The system supports entering up to 5 sets of facial data.
After the mask unlocking facial data is entered, we can use the mask to unlock normally. The face unlocking when wearing a mask is the same as the face unlocking operation when not wearing a mask - light up the screen and the phone will recognize the face, and the entire unlocking process is fast and accurate. In addition to unlocking mobile phones on a daily basis, wearing a mask can also enable facial payment, which can be said to be extremely convenient for everyone to use mobile phones in public places.
During the operation, if you select "Set later" in the "Open mask recognition/Where to use mask recognition" interface, the system will not save the facial data you used to unlock with masks, and you will not be able to unlock with masks. If you want to re-activate the unlock function of wearing a mask, you can enter the settings biometrics and passwords, face recognition, enter the lock screen password, enter the face entry interface, turn on the mask recognition switch, and re-enter the facial data of wearing a mask.
In the current environment, for mobile phone users who are accustomed to using facial recognition, unlocking masks is undoubtedly the best way to unlock both convenience and safety. According to Huawei's official news, HarmonyOS has pushed HarmonyOS 3.0.0.156 to the Mate50 Pro and Mate 50 RS Porsche design on October 18, and it is recommended that users who own these two phones upgrade as soon as possible. With the mask unlocking function, whether you are using your phone at the entrance of an office building, at a busy station and airport, or in a bustling mall, you just need to light up the screen and raise your wrist to your face to unlock it easily, which is both safe and convenient!
