According to foreign media reports, a patent application published today suggests that Apple's future Apple Watch smartwatch may be more delicate and slim, because Apple described a method in this patent application that can transfer the tactile motor from the watch to the strap. in. The tactile signal of the wrist will be perceived by the strap instead of the watch.
Apple specifically pointed out that this invention can save equipment space. It writes in the patent application file: "Many portable electronic devices continue to shrink in size and size, while device usage and functionality can be kept constant or even increased. For example, some feature phones and digital music players are equipped with a compact and compact The housing, which houses a number of electronic circuits and components, provides users with a wide range of applications and functions. As a result, device space becomes a big problem when adding more components, circuits, and functions to portable devices."
Although Apple did not explicitly indicate which device the patent will be applied to, the device referred to in the patent document is a "portable electronic device" rather than a smart watch, but the file repeatedly refers to the "strap" and the patent document The figure also clearly reveals Apple's intentions, all of which indicate that Apple wants to apply the patent to Apple Watch.
Apple wrote in the patent document: "This system includes a strap, an attachment mechanism attached to the strap, and one or more haptic devices embedded in the attachment mechanism. The attachment mechanism can connect the strap to the electronic device. In addition, the attachment mechanism can also connect the strap to the wearer. The haptic device or device can communicate with the processing device. Among the one or more haptic devices, at least one device can generate a tactile sensation according to an activation signal received by the processing device. reaction."
The signal transmitted from the watch to the strap can be transmitted through a connector mounted in a recess in the strap.
Although the Apple Watch is not particularly thick compared to other smart watches and smart wristbands, it looks a bit stupid when the user wears it on the wrist. If Apple can give it "weight loss", it will certainly make it more popular with fashion people.
Of course, this design also has a shortcoming, that is, the third-party straps that users can choose will be very limited, and will increase the price of the strap.
