Google files patent to let you unlock your phone by grimacing at it

Google has filed a patent for a new technique to unlock your Android phone. Patent describes a way to match up facial landmarks between two facial images, as well as performing a predetermined facial gesture to get there. The patent covers technology to match at least one facial landmark between pre-funny-face and during funny-face images. It’s the latest of a series of attempts to remedy the easily hacked Face Unlock feature introduced in the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android.”]
