Microsoft has invented a system of wireless surveillance

Microsoft has filed a patent application on the system of surveillance of employees, writes British newspaper The Times. The system allows to determine the effectiveness of the user, his physical well-being and competence.

The system consists of wireless sensors that measure heart rate employees, body temperature, watching their movements, facial expressions and blood pressure. The proposal also says that the sensors can be removed from the employee electromyogram and catch ' brain signals ' (brain signals). If the employee is experiencing stress, the system will prompt him to help.

Previously, such monitoring took place only aircraft pilots, astronauts and employees of fire departments. As the newspaper writes, Microsoft became the first company to offer this experience to apply the usual workplace.

Trade union representatives have expressed concern that the new invention will dismiss employees on the basis of collected sensor data.

The application was published only 18 months after filing. According to experts on patent law, it can be approved during the year.
