Apple continues with its patents and this time we see an interesting record in the United States Patent Office for a device that did not seem to have many possibilities for changes but after seeing how they follow adding more channels now it looks like it could take on new life if this patent is consummated on the device.
Those of Cupertino could use Apple TV in the future for a function similar to Facetime or conference. This would be possible by connecting a Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod to the Apple TV that would be the receiver and thanks to this create a conference room in which all participants can be connected that have the code generated by the device.
Who knows if besides the project HomeKit that Apple has in hand can give a new life to the multimedia device, which if it is clear is that you can get more juice if those of the bitten apple invest in it, for example to link users and hold conferences.
Whenever we are dealing with a patent we have to remember that it may or may not be realized in a device, but it is clear that these patents benefit the company that registers them. We all know that Apple patents everything its engineers make and this time it is a conference mode with Apple TV.
