Apple's new patent exposed: Apple Watch will be equipped with multi-functional environmental sensors

Recently, the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO) announced two new patents obtained by Apple, involving technologies related to Apple Watch. These two patents mainly involve adding a variety of sensors to the Apple Watch to provide richer data information to enhance the functionality and value of the product.

According to the patent description, Apple plans to provide Apple Sensors embedded in the Watch include anemometers, bolometers, heat flux sensors, solar radiation sensors, thermometers, and water level sensors. These sensors will be able to measure various environmental parameters such as wind speed, heat radiated by objects, heat transfer rates, solar radiation energy, temperature, and the degree of moisture or water immersion of the device.

Among them, the first patent is titled "Electronic Device with Anemometer". Apple believes that by embedding anemometer, Apple The Watch will be able to inform the wearer of the current wind conditions in real time. This feature is particularly useful for fitness applications, such as when exercising outdoors, where users can adjust exercise intensity based on wind speed to more accurately calculate power output.

Another patent is titled "Electronic Device with Multifunctional Environmental Sensor". The main purpose of this patent is to add a variety of environmental sensors to Apple Watch to provide richer environmental data. However, Apple is also aware that integrating multiple sensors into a device with limited space may pose some challenges. Despite this, Apple is still working hard on how to integrate more sensors while ensuring device performance.

It is understood that the acquisition of these two patents will help enhance the competitiveness of Apple Watch in the wearable device market, and also lay the foundation for Apple to launch more innovative functional products in the future.

The above is the detailed content of Apple's new patent exposed: Apple Watch will be equipped with multi-functional environmental sensors. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
