Apple Files Patent for Self-Adjusting Apple Watch Strap
Nike made a splash with their self-lacing shoes, but a foot isn’t the only place to take advantage of auto-adjusting tech.
According to AppleInsider, Apple was granted US Patent No. 9,781,984 for a self-adjusting Apple Watch band—leaving puny straps, buttons, velcro, clasps and every other attachment ‘inconvenience’ in its wake.
Reads the patent’s abstract:
“Systems and methods for dynamically adjusting the fit of a wearable electronic device are disclosed. In many embodiments, a tensioner associated with a wearable electronic device can control one or more actuators that are mechanically coupled to either the housing or to a band attached to the wearable electronic device. In one example, in response to a signal to increase the tightness of the band, the tensioner can cause the actuator(s) to increase the tension within the band.”
While its easy to write this off as a solution looking for a problem, the Apple Watch has become a remarkably efficient health monitoring device for many people—many of whom may not have the dexterity to take the watch on and off daily.
