#8: Apple Granted 27 Patents - part 2

More Interesting Apple Patents



    In one of the recent article, Apple has been granted 27 Patents covering Adaptive Sensors, Cellular MacBook Antennas, Tactile Feedback for iDevices and more.  One of the interesting is the Patent for tactile feedback covering a unique iPod accessory.  First, Apple doesn’t sell or make that many iPods. The patent felt a little outdated.  Second, this patent granted for one of their initial tactile feedback inventions for the iPod and iPod touch.  In some embodiments, the electronic device may simultaneously provide different types of tactile feedback, visual feedback, audio feedback, “olfactory” feedback, or any other suitable combination of feedback.  Really olfactory!  So, you can now smell your phone or iPod.  What people think about the use of the olfactory feedback?

  1. Maybe the olfactory feedback will be like smelling the oranges at the California Adventure ride in Disneyland. When you google apples, the phone will spray you with the scent of apples or if you are online trying to purchase colognes, it will spray you with that fragrance and give you the full experience. Who knows...all I know now is someone else can't steal this revolutionary idea.
