Apple patents lip recognition system to improve Siri

A recently discovered Apple patent describes a system for recognising users' lip movements and matching them to words or phrases.

Here's What We Know

According to the patent description, the system can use not only a camera but also other motion sensors such as an accelerometer or gyroscope. This helps it determine whether a person is talking or not.

It is expected that the technology can improve the performance of Siri voice assistant, which often faces problems due to background noise or high consumption of battery and processor power.

In addition, the system assumes the use of artificial intelligence to more accurately recognise the speech of users and his intonation.

Note that Apple does not always translate its patents into products. It is not known about plans to implement the technology in the company's services.
