The iPhone then recognizes that pattern every time you use Face ID to unlock your phone, pay for purchases, or authenticate inside other apps. This paper describes various embodiments that relate to a biometric authentication module for authenticating a user of a portable computing device. In particular, the various embodiments relate to a light pattern recognition module that is capable of emitting a predetermined pattern of light at the user, and subsequently detecting a pattern of light that is reflected by the user for authenticating the user.
