Apple submits patent for new privacy technology: using AR glasses to control iPhone screen output

 On November 12, the US Patent and Trademark Office published a new patent submitted by Apple this week, which revealed a privacy feature designed to control the content displayed on the iPhone only through special glasses to protect privacy.

It is reported that one of the functions described in the patent is "privacy glasses", and what is actually applied for is a system that can display "visually corrected graphic output and standard graphic output" on electronic devices.

This patent is applied to terminal products to prevent people around from seeing the content on the device screen, because after connecting to the device, the only way to view the screen content is through glasses. If the user does not want people nearby to view the content displayed on the mobile phone screen, this patent can make the graphic output unrecognizable.

In addition to new privacy technologies, Apple also appears to be developing profiles for Face ID. The patent describes another system that can distinguish unique details of a user's face, such as hairstyle, beard, mustache, glasses, no glasses, reading glasses, sunglasses, etc. There is speculation that this patent may be prepared for adding Face ID to the Mac.
