What is Embedded FLIR™ camera?

Lepton thermal imaging camera working in the range of  -20°C degrees to 120°C degrees up to 30m in distance. The phone makes actually 2 photos, one with FLIR and another with standard camera lens and join the images together to give you as a result heat map on the photo. This feature help people as engineers or fireman to evaluate quickly the temperature of the object on the photo.

What is Keyless entry system;
A keyless entry system is an electronic lock, on doors, safe box, electronic system or vehicle, which can be opened without using a traditional mechanical key. Numeric keypad is used instead of key and access is granted to anyone who can type proper password combination.

Now the point:

By using Caterpillar S60 smartphone and taking a picture of keypad just after somebody used it, anybody can have a heat map of the keypad with signature of the working combination. 

• if the authorized user typed quickly or with gloves, result will be marked keys of the pass combination visible on the heat map, which drastically reduce the amount of tries needed to open the lock by  combinatorics 
• if the authorized user made any significant delay between typing each key of the key combination (and without gloves), result will be different signature for each key on the heat map of the lock. This difference can point to which key was pressed first, second... revealing valid combination needed to open the lock.
