Kusukela i-Apple Watch yokuqala, i-Series 0, yangena emakethe ngo-Mashi 2015, inkampani esekwe eCupertino yakhele ibhizinisi eliyindilinga ngesihloko sezintambo, imichilo yazo zonke izinhlobo nezinto zokwakha. Noma kunjalo, kubonakala sengathi akakasho izwi lokugcina kule makethe enenzuzo enkulu.
Maningi amalungelo obunikazi ahlobene nezinhlobo ezintsha zemichilo i-Apple enelungelo lobunikazi, kepha iningi alihlelile ukufinyelela emakethe. Namuhla sikhuluma ngohlobo olusha lwentambo i-Apple esanda kuyigunyaza nokuthi kuzohlanganisa uhlelo lokuqashelwa lokho kuzogwema ukuthi ufake ikhodi yokuvula noma uvule i-iPhone lapho siyibeka esihlakaleni sethu.
Leli patent lisikhombisa intambo ye-Apple Watch enenzwa yokufakazela ubuqiniso ye-biometric, ehlanganiswe nebhande eliboshiwe futhi elizobona ukwakheka kwesikhumba sesihlaka sethu hlola ukuthi singabanikazi abafanele yini futhi uvumele ukufinyelela ngaphandle kokufaka ikhodi noma uvule i-iPhone ehlanganiswe nayo.
I-patent iphinde ithi ngaphezu kwenzwa yokubona ukwakheka kwesikhumba sikanodoli, ngaphezu kwezinwele esingazithola kuso, kuzotholakala futhi inzwa yokushisa. Encazelweni yelungelo lobunikazi singafunda:
Idivayisi ephathekayo ye-elekthronikhi ingafaka umzimba wensimbi nebhande ledivayisi elixhunywe emzimbeni wensimbi ukuze livikele ucingo esihlakaleni somsebenzisi. Idivayisi ephathekayo ye-elekthronikhi ingafaka futhi inzwa yesihlakala sebhayometrikhi ethwalwa ngomunye wemizimba yedivayisi nebhendi yedivayisi. Inzwa yesihlakala se-biometric ingafaka amaphikseli wokuthola we-biometric. Idivayisi ye-elekthronikhi egqokekayo ingafaka futhi iprosesa ehlanganiswe nenzwa yesihlakala se-biometric futhi ilungiselelwe ukusebenzisana namaphikseli we-biometric sensing ukuthola izithombe zamaphethini wesikhumba kusuka ezingxenyeni eziseduze kwesihlakala somuntu ogqokayo, nokwenza okungenani umsebenzi owodwa wokufakazela ubuqiniso ngokuya ngezithombe yamaphethini wokuthungwa kwesikhumba.
