Hunting for Apple Inc. patents has become a hobby for many, as the company makes hints about its future plans for the gadgets it will sell or integrate into the upcoming ones. iPhone.
Its latest applications (or inventions, if you will) cover a range of different ways to protect the iPhone from drop, but there was also a particularly interesting prospect where the user can activate a laser on their device to map their surroundings.
According to one application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (United States Patent & Trademark Office – USPTO) που κατέθεσε η Apple Inc., ψάχνει τρόπους για να εξοπλίσει τις φορητές συσκευές της, όπως το iPhone, με λέιζερ, αισθητήρες και επεξεργαστές που θα μπορούν να υπολογίσουν το περιβάλλον του χρήστη.
A few words about the laser. The word laser (laser) is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation and means "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation". A laser is a device that essentially emits light of a specific wavelength and is an excellent tool for measurement distances, providing accurate measurements of small areas through a concentrated beam of light. A sensor can take different distance readings and at the same time a processor can calculate the space by adding up all the measurements.
According to Apple's application to the USPTO: “laser distance measuring devices include a laser and a sensor. The laser produces a laser beam that bounces off surfaces such as walls in a room. With the detection της ανακλώμενης δέσμης, μια συσκευή μπορεί να μετρήσει την απόσταση από τον αισθητήρα έως την ανακλώμενη επιφάνεια”
It's unclear whether Apple hopes to credit her name technology by filing a patent application with the USPTO. The most obvious, however, is that the company plans to cover every scenario that may involve a mobile device. If things keep going at this rate on the patent front, Apple should be selling us a real tricorder.
