Apple filed in 2011 patent for mechanisms that reduce damage from falls, and recently it has been approved . Apple main idea is that smartphone during the fall change the orientation in the air, landing on the least fragile part. For example, on the edge of the metal case, and not to the screen.
For the definition of the state of free fall sensors must meet the device. The complex sensors must determine the orientation of the device in space, and the processor - calculate the trajectory of the fall and the intended point of the case, which first comes into contact with an obstacle. The company plans to collect such data device. In other words, each drop will teach smart to fall successfully.
Change the orientation of the smartphone in space in the fall of mechanisms can the center of gravity, with the release of gas or aerodynamic devices. In the latter case, the company proposes to use the reclining wings like hydrofoil boats. Related Products :
