The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Tuesday awarded Google a patent titled "Login to a computing device based on facial recognition." It describes a security technology that authenticates and identifies a person's face to log into a personal device and access information. Some phones like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus come with this feature and allow people to snap a photo of themselves to unlock the phone, rather than type in a password.
