At the press conference earlier this month, one of the biggest highlights of the Apple Watch Series 2 smart watch released by Apple was the use of a unique waterproof technology. When the water enters the speaker, the water will be discharged through a special design.

Through the transformation of the previous product, this technology allows the wearer to discharge the remaining liquid through the pulse voice coil at the port (for playing recordings) if it detects the liquid entering the speaker during underwater activities. .

And now in Apple's new patent, this system has been further improved and solved the problem of waterproofing in a more subtle way. It is reported that this patent has been approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and the patent is entitled "Excluding Liquid Pores."

According to the patent description, if the speaker hole of the device is filled with water, Apple will use sound and special sensors to analyze if any liquid enters the device, and then it will provide different currents to the conductive material located around the hole, and then repel by releasing the positive and negative charges. Or attract liquid that flows into the speaker hole. This charge-discharge operation allows the water in the earphone hole to automatically flow out under the effect of repulsion or attraction.

In addition, in other parts, such as speakers, Apple will also use a "sonic energy pulse" way to discharge the water. In this case, water and other liquids are forced into the pulse output energy as well as the channels through the sound waves.

However, it is unclear whether Apple has used hydrophobic conductive elements in this patent, but at least similar technologies have been applied to the latest Apple Watch Series 2 smart watches. In fact, before Apple had a number of other forms of waterproof patents, such as the use of a self-healing elastomer material to protect the interface of electrical equipment, these interfaces are currently exposed to the air, it is easy to hit hard objects or current caused damage , such as Apple's Lightning interface.

The probes on the device for charging, data transmission or audio transmission can easily penetrate the elastomer material. After use, the elastomer material can self-repair the probe through the holes caused by the probe after shrinking. Sealed state to achieve the purpose of protecting the interface and probe, waterproof and dustproof.

In addition, this material incorporates probe conductive particles in the probe penetration region, improves electrical contact, and improves reliability. On the connector side, sharp probes designed to pierce the self-healing elastomer may be integrated into the connector body or interface, such as the Apple Lightning interface, and of course may also be designed as a separate probe interface, replacing the lightning interface.

The patent was first filed in April 2014. The patent inventors were Stephen P. Zadesky, Fletcher R. Rothkopf, and Ashley E. Fletcher.

In addition to the above patent for waterproofing, Apple has also passed another patent for approval, and is also related to Apple Watch, and is very useful to users. The patent is called "Portable Electronic Device Connector". According to the patent description, consumers can use the Apple Watch's diagnostic interface to connect other devices for more expansion.

The diagnostic interface was originally applied to the first generation of Apple Watch smart watches, and now Apple has begun planning to use this interface to connect more accessories to achieve more features. At present, according to the patent, there are six application prospects for this interface, including data transmission, power expansion, a watchband with built-in GPS radio function, and a cellular network modem. After a few months, Apple confirmed the existence of the diagnostic interface, and can carry out specific functional demonstrations at the Apple retail store, including each Apple Watch is connected to the iPad Mini through the Lightning interface converter.

In this patent, the diagnostic interface can be connected to various accessories through a retractable intelligent six-pin connector. Although Apple does not currently offer an embedded strap, it is believed that more feature-rich accessories will be used in the future. The connection method of this patent.

Apple’s patent for this “Portable Electronic Device Connector” was filed in May 2015 with patent inventors Brandon B. Tulloch, Gordon C. Cameron, John Danby, Amaury J. Heresztyn, and Nagarajan Kalyanasundaram.
