Apple Patents Touch ID like Biometric Sensor for Macs

Image Credits: Apple
Apple added the Touch ID Fingerprint scanner in its iPhone lineup back in 2013 with the introduction of the Apple iPhone 5s. Several reports have been claiming that Apple has been working on the Fingerprint Technology since 2007 soon after the launch of the 1st Generation of Apple iPhone.

 Apple filed a patent for the addition of the fingerprint sensor in its Mac lineup way back in 2007. The Patent has been officially published today.
"A finger sensing apparatus may include a finger sensor including an integrated circuit (IC) substrate, an array of finger sensing elements on the IC substrate, and match circuitry on the IC substrate for performing final finger matching. […] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electronic device in the form of a laptop computer including a finger sensor and enhanced security in accordance with the present invention."
The patent also included the use of fingerprint sensor in desktop computers (probably what we call the iMacs today), adding the fingerprint sensor into the keyboard.
"The computer 10 is illustratively shown to be a laptop computer, but the present invention is applicable to other computers (e.g. desktop computers) as well."
After the success of Touch ID in iPhone and iPads, we are certain that Apple would be introducing the fingerprint sensor in Macs in the near future.
