Ukufunyanwa kwesingqisho esingaqhelekanga kukho kuzo zonke iiwotshi ze-Apple ukusuka kwi-Series 1 ukuya kwimodeli yewotshi entsha eqaliswe kulo nyaka, i-Apple Watch Series 5. Ewe, kubonakala ngathi inkampani ye-Cupertino ibiya kuba yaphule okanye itsibe ipatent ebhaliswe ngu. UGqr. Joseph Wiesel, obhalisiweyo ngo-2006. Le patent ibonakala iyinyani kwaye yabhaliswa iminyaka emininzi ngaphambi kokuba i-Apple Watch ibekho, nangaphambi kokusungulwa kwe-iPhone yokuqala, ke siza kubona ukuba ezi ndaba zabelwana ngazo kwiBloomberg ziyaqhubeka.
Ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza lichaza ukuba u-Wiesel wayengowokuqala ukwenza umsebenzi owafumanisa i-Atrial Fibrillation ngokurekhoda izinga lokubetha kwentliziyo ngamaxesha amaninzi. Ngo-2017, u-Wiesel ngokwakhe waqhagamshelana no-Apple kwaye wakhankanya ilungelo lakhe lobunikazi, kodwa inkampani ibonakala ingazimiselanga ukuthetha ngayo kwaye ekugqibeleni yonke into iya kuphelela enkundleni.
Siyaqonda ukuba iApple inamandla awoneleyo okusa nawuphi na umntu okanye inkampani enkundleni, kodwa ubungqina beli patent kunokuba neziphumo zoqoqosho kwinkampani yeCupertino, ukuba yonke into icacile njengoko ibonakala.
Bloomberg, Uqinisekisa ukuba esi sikhalazo asiyi kuchaphazela umsebenzi wewotshi nangayiphi na indlela kwaye, njengoko kubonakala, enye into ayinanto yakwenza nenye. Kwimeko apho ugqirha weYunivesithi yaseNew York ephumelele ityala, inkampani kuya kufuneka ihlawule isixa semali, nangona kuyinyani ukuba Kuhlala kungqinwa ukuba iteknoloji yogqirha yayisetyenziswe kumsebenzi wokubukela. Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba i-ECG (i-ElectroCardioGrama) ayinanto yakwenza noku kuchongwa kwesigqi esingaqhelekanga.
