Impikiswano mayelana nelungelo lobunikazi elisha elikhishwe yi-Apple, umsebenzi walo okungukuthi ungavumeli ukufinyelela kweminye imisebenzi yedivayisi yethu njengekhamera ezindaweni lapho uhlobo oluthile lomcimbi lwenzeka khonanjengokuqaliswa komkhiqizo noma amakhonsathi.
Le patent yenoveli, ebizwa nge- «uhlelo nendlela yokuthola idatha ye-infrared ngekhamera eyenzelwe ukuthola izithombe ngokususelwa ekukhanyeni okubonakalayo«, Ingabe ingxenye yefayela le- uchungechunge lobunikazi i-Apple elushicilele kusukela ngo-2011, nokuthi kusukela lapho, bekulokhu kuguquka kancane kancane.
Ngayo, i-Apple ifuna vikela ilungelo lobunikazi kunoma yisiphi isenzo esenziwayo, ngaleyo ndlela ugweme ukuvuza, njengamakhonsathi wangasese, ukubuka kuqala kwama-movie amasha, iminyuziyamu noma ukwethulwa kwemikhiqizo emisha. I-patent yayivele ivunyelwe emasontweni ambalwa edlule ngu- I-United States Trademark Patent Office.
Imibhalo ekhonjisiwe ikhombisa ngokunembile futhi ubuchwepheshe, njengekhamera ye-iPhone noma i-iPad, kungenzeka ikhutshazwe okwesikhashana lapho ithola uchungechunge lwezimpawu ze-infrared, ukuphoqa ukuthi idivaysi ingafinyeleli izinhlelo zokusebenza uma nje amasiginali evimbela. Lokhu kuzotholakala, bathi, gwema okuqukethwe okuthile okungekho emthethweni, esiza ngaphezu kwabo bonke abaculi.
Isikimu selungelo lobunikazi elisha le-Apple elisongela inkululeko yethu ku-iPhone noma i-iPad yethu.
I-patent entsha kungasetshenziswa ngisho ngamaphoyisa, ukunciphisa ukuthi ungathatha izithombe noma amavidiyo kwezinye izindawo noma ezimweni ezithile, njengombukiso, noma eduze kwesakhiwo somphakathi noma sikahulumeni.
Yize lobu buchwepheshe kungasetshenziselwa izizathu ezingeyona ingozi, futhi okuzuzisayo, njengokuhanjiswa kolwazi kunqwaba yamadivayisi axhumene (njengesibonelo kumnyuziyamu, ngokwesibonelo), ngicabanga ukuthi kwephula inkululeko yomuntu ngamunye yokusebenzisa idivayisi yakhe ukuthi ufuna kanjani futhi nini. Ngale ndlela, inkululeko yanoma ngubani ophethe i-iPhone ezandleni zakhe ilinganiselwe.
Enye indlela eyodwa yokulawula ohlelweni uma le patent ikwazi ukufinyelela ethekwini "elihle". Ngenhlanhla, njalo ngonyaka izinkampani ezifana ne-Apple emhlabeni jikelele zinelungelo lobunikazi obufanayo, kepha abambalwa noma abekho kubo ekugcineni abangena emakethe ngomkhiqizo wokugcina. Ngethemba ukuthi lokhu akulutho.
