Apple seems to be developing some innovative products. We previously reported that Apple is working on ultra-thin touch sensors to reduce the size of its devices. And this morning, we got more information about Apple’s new patent.
Today, a new Apple patent was approved by the China National Intellectual Property Office. The patent was approved on June 30. You can check out the patent here.
This patent relates to a dynamic display interface laptop. According to our observations, the laptop seems to be ordinary, but its design details can be seen in the patent document. The device is equipped with multiple displays, and the patent mentions that its base consists of a keyboard and a light-permeable cover.
The light cover defines a first touch-sensitive input along the first side of the keyboard area and a second touch-sensitive input area along the second side of the keyboard. The base portion also includes a part below the first touch-sensitive input area. All these touch-sensitive input areas may be used for a particular purpose, but it seems to be different for now.
According to the patent, these touch screens can be used for different things. For example, in diagram 8C, there is an example of a word processing program. The screen at 840 (in 8C) will display the content, page, chapter, title, or other summaries of the document of the displayed portion 841. In contrast, the screens at 842, 844, and 846 will be used for showing additional setting buttons.
Looking at the side of the laptop, it seems to be an ordinary-shaped laptop with a retro-style edge design. Apple may launch such a laptop in the future (which could include more touchscreens). If any further news about this product is available, you will receive updates on our website. Stay tuned!
