In the advancing age of technology, unlocking vehicles has evolved far beyond traditional keys. Contemporary methods include induction, NFC, and mobile phone app remote control. Recently, BYD has been granted a patent that takes vehicle security to the next level by employing biometric vein recognition technology. Here are the details…

BYD’s Innovative Vein Recognition Technology: A Revolution in Vehicle Security

BYD’s vein recognition technology, broadens the range of bio-security and enhances the user experience. According to the Qichacha APP, BYD’s patent application for a “vein recognition device and vehicle” has been authorized. The device comprises three essential components: an infrared acquisition module, a vein recognition module, and a power module.

  1. Infrared Acquisition Module: This module captures the vein image on the back of the user’s hand.
  2. Vein Identification Module: Connected to the infrared acquisition module, this component identifies the characteristics of the veins after receiving the vein image. Upon confirming that the vein pattern is authorized, it triggers the door control command.
  3. Power Supply Module: Linked to both the infrared acquisition and vein identification modules, this element provides power to the other two modules.

The vein recognition device functions by identifying the veins on the back of the user’s hand, significantly diversifying the types of bio-keys available and elevating the overall user experience. Most BYD models currently employ NFC unlocking, with their NFC car key technology compatible with the majority of Android phone models.

NFC (near-field communication) technology allows for unlocking the door in the presence of a Bluetooth key, compensating for potential limitations. However, some BYD car owners have expressed concerns about the NFC method being cumbersome, as it requires placing the mobile phone in a specific position for unlocking.

If BYD’s newly patented vein recognition technology is successfully commercialized, it is expected to provide BYD owners with a significantly improved level of convenience when unlocking their vehicles. By integrating this cutting-edge technology, BYD will not only revolutionize vehicle security systems but also reinforce its reputation as an industry leader in automotive innovation.
