Apple's patent suggests a more secure way of using facial recognition

Last year Google introduced a "Face Unlock" feature on the Galaxy Nexus in conjunction with the release of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. While it had potential, it was bypassed easily by using a photo of the user to "trick" the phone into unlocking. Granted Google claims that Face Unlock is not the end-all of security for mobile devices, but without doubt facial recognition has its potential and it looks like Apple is thinking the same as well. This particular patent, discovered by the folks at Apple Insider, was not created by Apple.
