Apple may bring the notch and Face ID to MacBooks苹果可能会将凹槽和面部识别码带入MacBooksA new patent filed by Apple with the U.

S.

Patent and Trademark Office has revealed the company's plan to introduce the iPhone's display notch and Face ID biometric system to its MacBook lineup (via Apple Insider).

The patent details how Apple intends to achieve this with a compact form given the "the amount of limited space available with internal cavities of these computing devices".

苹果公司向美国专利和商标局提交的一项新专利披露，该公司计划将iPhone的显示凹槽和面部识别生物识别系统引入其MacBook系列产品(通过Apple Insider)。

这项专利详细说明了苹果公司打算如何利用这些计算设备的内部有限空间”，以一种紧凑的形式实现这一目标。

The patent application shows a system that incorporates sensors into the Mac for light emission.

The pattern of light (infrared) projected at the user will then be reflected and detected by the computer for identity authentication.

The drawings found in the filing also indicates that Apple could change the existing design of the MacBook's display by adding a notch to it in order to house the "light pattern recognition module".

If that sounds familiar, that's because this is the same system used by Apple on its recent iPhone devices, starting with the iPhone X series.

这项专利申请展示了一个将传感器整合到Mac中的发光系统。

投射在使用者身上的光线(红外线)模式会被电脑反射和侦测，以进行身份认证。

文件中发现的图纸还表明，苹果可以改变MacBook现有的显示屏设计，在上面加一个凹槽，以便放置光模式识别模块”。

如果这听起来很熟悉，那是因为这是苹果从iPhone X系列开始，在其最近的iPhone设备上使用了相同的系统。

Although Apple could consider adopting the same approach for bringing Face ID to MacBooks, it's also possible that other designs could be considered such as a "circle, an ellipse, a polygonal shape, a series of polygonal shapes, a curvilinear shape" or any practical partition for the module.

That said, the patent application does not necessarily translate to a future product.

尽管苹果可以考虑采用同样的方法将Face ID带到macbook上，但也有可能考虑其他设计，例如圆形、椭圆形、多边形、一系列多边形、曲线形”或模块的任何实际分区。

也就是说，专利申请不一定转化为未来的产品。
