On February 23, according to foreign media reports, Apple is studying the technology of weaving sensors and switches into electronic fabrics, which can be used for smart bags, furniture, clothing and so on.
Previously, Apple had been granted a patent to make fabric buttons for the HomePod. Now, the newly disclosed patent describes multiple uses for electronic fabrics embedded in sensors and other devices.
According to the patent description, it may be desirable to use materials such as fabrics to form bags, furniture, clothing, electronic devices, and other items, however, if you do not pay attention, these fabric-based items may not provide the desired functionality.
The patent shows that the fabric may be a strap, may be a wristband or headband, may be a removable lid of a device, may be a box or bag with a strap, or it may be part of a chair, sofa, or other seat (e.g., a seat cushion or other seat structure), may be part of a garment or other wearable item (e.g., a hat, belt, wristband, headband, socks, gloves, shirt, pants, etc.), or may be any other fabric-based item.
In addition, according to the patent information, a fabric-based project may include a shell covered with fabric. The area of the fabric can overlap with input circuitry such as pushbutton switches, touch sensors, force sensors, proximity sensors, and other sensing circuits, and can overlap with other components such as light-emitting components and haptic output devices.
Foreign media said that Apple has formed a prototype on the idea of "fabric control device", such as apple has previously obtained a patent for apple watch woven straps or buttons.
