Patent was registered by Apple and can be in the next iPhone – Weather

  SÃO PAULO Good news for lovers of the iPhone:. Apple has patented a technology that may be able to turn the smartphone in the air when the unit is in free fall. The goal is to protect the most sensitive parts of the instrument as the glass screen and the camera sensor, suffering damage to colliding with the ground or other surface.

 

  According to the patent document, recorded a week ago, the invention will allow the device automatically identifies a fall situation, determine which part of the machine will do the imminent contact with the ground and thus change the its center of gravity, turning it so that the shock occurs with a tougher part of the housing, -. the side or back, for example

 

  The technology makes use of sensors that detect if the device is falling and calculate data as falling speed and remaining time for the shock. From this, the system triggers a protective mechanism configured to change the object’s center of mass based on the raw data – all before the cell reaches the ground.

 

  According to Apple Insider, in practice, a normal vibration motor of an iPhone is capable of changing the machine speed during free fall. If the rotation speed is enhanced, you can effectively control the mobile landing angle. The site also mentions that, although not present in iPhones 6:06 Plus, the type of swing motor that would make this possible was used in earlier versions of the smartphone, which means that the patent could be designed easily to the next model .

 

  Fights in court. In Brazil, iPhones and iPads users have come to court when they need to replace broken screens because Apple told us not provides this service in the country. Last month, the São Paulo Court of Justice ruled that the company consertasse the part or to swap the lawyer iPad Thiago Santos Fraga Rodrigues, who reported finding unauthorized shops that offered to replace the screen with original parts imported. The Gaucho Justice has also taken a similar decision.
