Fingerprint Glove Stickers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Nanotips Taps' Let Users Access Fingerprint-Locked Phones with Gloves

— November 10, 2016 — Tech
With winter around the corner, Nanotips Taps are a convenient way for people to stay connected to their mobile devices without freezing their fingers off. More than just a system to let users access touchscreens while wearing gloves, Nanotips Taps even allow users to get into fingerprint-locked phones and devices.

Anyone who lives in a cold clime knows that touchscreen gloves have been available for as long as touchscreen devices have been ubiquitous on mobile devices. However, new security features like fingerprint-locking have defeated the purpose of such winter gear. That is, until the advent of Nanotips Taps.

The Taps are fingerprint-sized stickers that adhere firmly to the digits of users' gloves. Rather than having someone's actual fingerprint on them, the stickers are each embedded with their own unique prints. Users simply have to register the stickers as approved prints on their phones, and they will be able to get in without taking off their gloves.
Trend Themes
1. Touchscreen Gloves - Nanotips Taps provide a disruptive innovation opportunity by allowing users to access touchscreens while wearing gloves, solving a common problem in cold climates.
2. Fingerprint Technology - The development of fingerprint-sized stickers that can be registered as approved prints on phones presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for enhancing security features on mobile devices.
3. Convenience Solutions - Nanotips Taps offer a convenient solution for users to stay connected to their mobile devices without compromising on security or comfort, creating a disruptive innovation opportunity in the accessories industry.
Industry Implications
1. Apparel & Accessories - The touchscreen gloves market can leverage the disruptive innovation opportunity presented by Nanotips Taps to enhance the functionality and usability of their products.
2. Mobile Devices - Mobile device manufacturers can explore the disruptive innovation opportunity of integrating fingerprint-sized stickers into their devices to provide a more convenient and secure user experience.
3. Security - The security industry can capitalize on the disruptive innovation opportunity provided by Nanotips Taps to develop advanced fingerprint recognition technologies and solutions for various applications.
