U.S. Patent Application number 20140068725, known as “Wireless Pairing and Communication Between Devices Using Biometric Data,” informs us of a manner where users are able to use unique biometric information in order to authorize a connection between two devices, and what better way than to showcase the iPhone 5s’ Touch ID capability? At least it does away with the need for the pesky passcode in the Bluetooth authentication process. This very same biometric data can also be used to draw boundaries of accessibility between paired devices.
