Amazon ceo, Jeff Bezos, and president Greg Heart have patented a system that should avoid a phone that falls to the ground, damage. One of the possible applications is a passenger airbag.
That leaves a patent application at the American USPTO. In the request describe how a phone or other mobile device, a val register and determines what the risk of damage. If the measured risk is too great, there should be a security mechanism in force. This can be an airbag, but also to feathers or even the exhalation of gas to ensure that the phone is less hard on the floor ends up. For the registering of the possibility of damage, use can be made of existing features on mobile phones, such as camera, gyroscope, or accelerometer.
It is unclear whether the system in the patent application ultimately is implemented in mobile devices. The question is whether such a system is workable is to create, for example, mobile phones. There are more patent applications filed without the intention to use the patented ideas into products. In addition, Amazon itself still no phones released. Well there are rumours that the onlinewarenhuis own smartphones and tablets don’t want to release.
