New RIM patent could mean pressure-sensitive passwords are on the way

Simply titled Pressure Password for a Touchscreen Device, the latest patent from RIM is a promising one. The gizmo, equipped with force sensors — would recognize patterns based on pressure and be able to unlock based on a chosen pattern.

So think a simple pattern unlock feature on a blackberry but instead of sliding or drawing you would apply pressure to certain areas of the screen.

Is this something you’d like to see come to BlackBerry? Let us know in the comments!
