Apple receives a revolutionary patent for AirPods

Apple continues to produce innovative ideas in the field of wearable technologies. Now the Cuppertino giant has applied for a revolutionary patent for AirPods. Next-generation AirPods may offer brain Mapping and activity tracking features. Here are the details

AirPods will be smarter

Apple is working on a new AirPods design that includes small electrodes, according to a filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office earlier this month. This design, which will give headphones the ability to read biosignals such as brain waves, can expand the use of headphones.

So much so that the patent documents state that the headset can track many functions, including brain activity, eye and muscle movements, heart and pulse. Changes in skin conductivity and perspiration can also be detected. In addition, for all this, it will be enough to touch the side of the headset.

Although this is exciting, it must be said that placing small electrodes on AirPods is not an easy process. In addition, the iPhone manufacturer will need to obtain the appropriate certifications before the biosignals can be read. Therefore, it should be noted that this feature will not be available in the near future.

In addition, today, many manufacturers are applying for similar patents in line with their future plans. However, we see that many of them are shelved without being implemented. For this reason, it is currently unclear whether the new patent will be used in the next generation AirPods models.
