The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office today officially issued 76 new Apple patents. Now we are paying attention to two new patents related to the future Apple headset display devices. The two patents disclose features that can be used on the display. Camera and iPhone connection. Headset will be able to operate the iPhone at a different resolution than normal. The patent statement stated that the head display will support Siri, and can have two forms.
Apple's newly-licensed patent is primarily an HMD, which allows users to use it to associate or separate it from other portable electronic devices. Both devices can be considered as temporarily integrated.
Apple's patent FIG. 3 shows a head display that can be controlled by a remote controller, and may also include a speech recognition module, that is, Siri.
The related original patent application dates back to 2008, or one year after the first iPhone was launched. The original patent application covers the following functions: camera, external control, head control with a remote control, touch, clip structure, external viewing, audio, and PIP Picture-in-Picture. The real patent passed in February 2015.
Today, Apple obtained two patents on the head display. Both patents have extensions that provide new legal safeguards for the device and state differences from the original patent applications and original patents in 2008. Patents require legal warnings for companies that have similar inventions. Here are some believes about this future apple headline.
In the granted patent 9645673, Apple emphasized the iDevice on the display. The future iPhone will have two modes of heads-up display, one of which is fixed on the head display, which is the adaptability of the resolution of the iPhone display.
The original description of the iPhone in the future is: "A cellular phone, including: speakers, buttons, camera, and display. The display has two modes of normal viewing mode and close-range viewing mode. The Dangdang cell phone is connected to the head-mounted mode. When the device is installed, the display screen is configured to operate in close proximity mode; normal viewing mode is not used when connected to the headset.
Patent requirement #2: The above-described cellular phone is characterized in that when the display screen is configured for the close-range viewing mode, the image frame will be divided into a left image frame and a right image frame.
Patent requirement #3: The above-described cellular phone is characterized in that the cellular phone will use a connector to connect to the head mounted device.
Patent requirement #4: The above connector can be coupled with the complementary connector of the head mounted device.
In granted patent 9,646,574, Apple emphasized augmented reality.
In the patent claim 1 statement: "This is a head-mounted device, including: a frame, a display supported by the frame, a camera for capturing an image, a sensor for detecting a stimulus, and a display adjacent to and through it The lens of the display, and the processor, operate in the first mode, the content of the image is displayed on the display without displaying the captured image; and in the second mode, the captured image is displayed on at least part of the display, The processor responds to the sensor's detection of the stimulus. "
Patent requirement #2: The above-described head-mounted device, characterized in that the processor superimposes the captured image on a part of the image-based content in the second mode.
Patent claim #6 indicates that the head-mounted device can accept voice commands.
In Patent Claim 13, Apple states that "its display can present left and right image frames, as well as an optical sensor to collect eye position information. Based on the positional information of the glasses, the display can adjust the position of the left and right image frames on the display. To adjust the interpupillary distance."
In patent claim #25, Apple mentions that the support structure of the device has a shape similar to that of a goggle. Patent claim #26 mentions that the support structure has the shape of eyeglasses.
This is the first wave of patents directly implying augmented reality. Also, head-mounted headsets like Gear VR are designed to hold smartphones directly on the phone, while Apple intends to connect the phone to connectors in the headset. Although Apple did not elaborate on this point in the patent, it is clear that Apple will be able to expand the capabilities of the iPhone through a heads-up connection. Maybe add a dedicated VR chip or change the display resolution or add tactile sensation, at least we can take a good look at Apple's new ideas for the future.
