Smart Lock is a Google feature that will let Chromebook users unlock their devices with their smartphones without having to enter a password. It would seem this feature might be getting an update in the future. Android Police has discovered a possible new feature during an APK teardown of the newest Google Play services. It says Smart Lock can be triggered using Activity Recognition. It is described as an experimental feature so it might take a while before we see it. Activity Recognition could mean anything though. For example, maybe in the way you walk or shaking your phone in a particular pattern. But that might be a tough way to unlock a phone. Perhaps we’ll hear more about it at this year’s Google I/O. Any guesses on what the application could be like?
