This prediction is not excessive, given the technology of facial recognition began to explore a variety of devices, including smartphones. Analysts say, until the end of 2012 alone, nearly 20 percent of smartphones shipped will have face recognition capabilities.

"Samsung Galaxy SIII is one of the famous smartphone for this feature. For two or three years into the future, there will be more OS and smartphone vendors who bury this technology," he explained.

"Today, a new device with Android OS Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean that support these technologies in large volumes," says senior analyst from research firm ABI, Josh Flood.

According to Flood, facial recognition technology is already present much earlier, although only limited testing in the laboratory. This technology was developed in 1960 by three scientists, Woody Bledsoe, Helen Chan and Charles Bisson Wolf.

Another challenge, lighting conditions and facial expressions are sometimes also cause problems. Fortunately, various improvements in the resolution of the camera and processing power used by current mobile devices have been very helpful about it.

"Thanks to technological advances, these obstacles can be overcome, the accuracy is barely above 90 percent," said Flood.

Reported previously, the news likely that Samsung will use BB10 re-surfaced, impact on RIM shares rise. Not long speculation is echoed, RIM shares rose five percent in the stock market opening on Wednesday.
