Google has applied for a patent. It involves operating wearable devices through a "skin interface," or gesture control through the user's skin.
Wireless headphones, sports wristbands, and smartwatches are all relatively small in size. Manufacturers are working hard to enhance the user interface of wearable gadgets in order to provide a better user experience. Previously, the Dutch online publication LetsGoDigital discovered that Google had applied for a patent to use the user’s skin as the wearable device’s operational interface.
Wearable devices, such as wireless headphones and watches, may detect the user’s skin contact near the device using sensors and acceleration sensors, and determine the operation of tapping and sliding based on the vibration caused, according to Google’s patent application material.
Sensor Fusion technology, which combines data from multiple sensors to provide more accurate control, is mentioned in the patent application, while artificial intelligence uses the machine to learn to distinguish what is real, reducing misjudgments such as walking, nodding, shaking, eating, talking, or scratching. Google registered for the patent in mid-2020, but it wasn’t authorised until early March of this year, so it’s unclear when it will be used to Pixel devices.
