Apple received a fresh patent. He received life in the US patent agency .
At this time, patented headphones for athletes and anyone who is a fan of outdoor activities. Judging from the information contained in the document, the main feature of these headphones is the collection and storage of information. Of course, the work goes with data sports orientation.
These are human biometric parameters, such as body temperature, heart rate, and even sweating intensity. Also, for example, the range of movement, speed, and other indicators of physical activity can be tracked. The data collected by the owner of the gadget can view when he needs it. In addition to collecting information, headphones support control with gestures.
Of course, the device involves pairing with the iPhone. So you can control the “ears” and study the load data through the mobile phone screen.
The principle of the headphone design will not be fundamentally different from the usual "gags". But they are most likely to be attached more firmly, since they are designed specifically for a person’s athletic activity.
The patented headphones will also perform the usual functions of such devices - playing sound, music, etc. From this it follows that with the help of gestures, the owner will be able to switch tracks, adjust the volume and change other playback settings. It remains to hope that you will not have to shake your head strongly for this, and Apple experts have foreseen everything. In particular, they thought about how such management should look, for example, in public transport, on the street, in cafes, etc.
Fans of technical innovations have already assumed that such headphones will be a logical continuation of the newly developed fitness tracker. The tracker is built into Nike sports shoes and uses a special sensor system for its work. Using these sneakers, a person can view data on his iOS device through pairing.
The difference between the work of smart sneakers and headphones is that in the latter, a single module is responsible for everything.
Today, the market is replete with all sorts of devices like smart bracelets, watches, and other fitness gadgets. There is no guarantee that sports headphones will see the light at all. However, as always, Apple product fans will be waiting for news, as this patent really deserves attention.
