Apple, the patent to block the iPhone camera at concerts and in sensitive places – The Messenger

Perhaps in the future the iPhone camera will lock automatically when taking the device in a movie theater, a concert or in “sensitive places” such as stations or airports. Apple, as reported by 9to5Mac website, has patented a technology to prevent the “iPhone by” to take pictures or to film in certain places, such as in cases where it may infringe the copyright or the privacy of individuals. A practice that annoys other artists is precisely that of the video shoot at concerts. Adele, the Arena of Verona, telling a fan that the filming: “I am here in real life – told from the stage – you can enjoy everything live rather than through the camera.”

While Prince asked YouTube the cancellation of fan videos. The Apple patent is dated 2011, but was published only a few days ago. With the technology described in the device’s camera would be able to recognize and interpret a special infrared signal can disable some functions – such as the camera – in particular places. Not only concerts but also movies or airports. The reverberation of this technology at the time, seems more immediate in the music industry: in addition to photos is primarily the growing phenomenon of the videos that are put instantly on social, live, thanks to streaming Facebook Live and Periscope. The Apple patent, however, can also be used in another way: for example, in a museum, the infrared signal could serve as input for the iPhone notifications on findings or information on the work that the visitor is admiring or is about to be photographed.
