- Good morning, Johann!
- Good morning, Rita! Are we okay?
- I'm afraid not. Yesterday I was at the presentation of a new smartphone from A. It seems to me that everyone who buys it will face huge troubles, and you and I urgently need to find approaches to company A.
- Well... It's simple with approaches. They've been getting money from us for a long time, and for money they'll do anything. So what happened?
— As you know, they are releasing a new smartphone. With facial recognition. There is some tricky approach there, I will read later that the smartphone will not open by photo.
- Well, that's great. Now we don't have to bother with an autopsy. Just point the camera at the suspect and the smartphone is ours.
- Oh, and not only that. It's enough to sell this lebanon mobile database to advertising producers, and millions of shoppers who are filmed in stores will receive targeted advertising.
- Well... A new era is opening...
A year has passed.
-. We need to know if the owner of this smartphone was in such and such a place at such and such a time.
— What do we have on the smartphone?
- Actually, nothing. We can't hack it yet.
— Are there any video recordings from the required location?
- Yes, but we don’t know what the owner looks like.
- Okay. Bring your smartphone.
Two hours passed.
- Here is a portrait of the owner. But he was not in the place you needed not only on the date you indicated, but not a week before it, nor a week later.
