We know that since your arrival, Siri has been improving its features and services little by little until it becomes what it is today, a multifunctional and multiplatform personal assistant. Obviously, Siri has errors and defects, as well as features that allow us to make our interaction with our device easier (especially for people with a physical problem such as blindness).
After continuous improvements, a new patent application reported by Patently Apple makes us think that Apple would be close to getting Siri to recognize only the voice of whoever we want, that is, of us as users and owners of the device, as a general rule.
We know that Siri is one of the bases where the vast majority of the company's devices are based. A) Yes, we can see how the iPhone, the iPad, the Apple Watch, the Apple TV, even CarPlay, as well as all the different Mac models, today incorporate this main feature.
The patent brought to light, describes a method by which Apple intends to "teach" Siri what the device's owner voice is, so that you only respond to that voice when you recognize it. In addition, the keyword used could be one chosen by the user, and not the usual one Hey Siri.
This would be a giant advance for the company's claims for Siri to be, once and for all, widely used on all devices. Currently, Sisi represents some security flaws because anyone can give you guidelines like "Whose iPhone is this?" or "Turn on the house lights (using Homekit)", whether or not you own the device used. In the event of theft, our security would be compromised.
Like all patents, we do not know if Apple is close to implementing it to its current technology, or if it is simply that, one more patent. However, to improve the service offered by the company's favorite personal assistant, this could be the final push it would take to make it essential for all users of the brand.
