Remember a foreigner iPhone After falling to the ground, the glass back shell broke. She bought several bottles of nail polish and colored the broken places. The final product looks very sexy. But not every iPhone and every color can be so sexy. Everyone takes great care of the iPhone for "selling your kidney". How can you let it fall? But there is always a chance, so Apple has applied for a new one patent 。

This patent is designed to prevent the iPhone and other electronic devices from being damaged after falling. The name of this patent is "Protective Mechanism for an Electronic Device", which introduces several methods to prevent iPhone and other electronic devices from being damaged after falling.

Apple's patented idea of fall prevention: let the place resistant to fall land first

One method is that the sensor provided by the device will detect the height and speed of the phone falling, and then adjust the orientation of the phone body. In this way, mobile phones and other products can adjust their own orientation in the process of falling, so that they can land at a place that is resistant to falling, such as a corner or back, rather than a fragile position, such as a screen. To achieve this function, the equipment needs to be equipped with“ protect Mechanism ", it may be necessary to use small cans of compressed gas to change the direction of the fuselage.

Another method is to slow down the falling speed of the equipment during the falling process, which is like equipping a parachute. To achieve this function, the protection mechanism needs to trigger a device similar to a propeller to reduce the falling speed of the equipment.

Although Apple only mentioned iPhone in its patent application, industry insiders said that these technologies are also applicable to other smart phones tablet PC , portable music players and digital cameras.
