The United States Patent and Trademark Office recently published a total of 41 new patents Apple But it's not strange, it's quite common. A logo company always registers dozens and dozens of patents every week, which does not mean they will promote all these ideas.
Today we will focus on three patents. Three patents related to health monitoring on iPhone and Apple Watch systems. It is clear that for Apple, health is an important issue, so that by the end of 2019 Tim Cook confirmed that Apple's greatest contribution to humanity was in the health field during an interview in Japan.
"I think if you look ahead to the future, then look back, and wonder if Apple has been a major contributor to humanity, it's going to be about health."
So everything seems to indicate that Apple will continue to strive to innovate in the health sector with new functions in its technology products. And because of this they have to develop other ideas like the ones existing in these new patents.

These are new patents related to Apple's health
Over the last few years, Apple has focused on a number of technologies that allow users to measure what their heart is doing. And today we look at three of Apple's new patents that can make a difference in this category of health monitoring services.
IPhone fingerprint scanner
Apple's 10,524,671 patent shows the path that would take the iPhone to a new level of health monitoring. This method will give users the option to use fingerprint scanner entering health data. They do not specify that it is an iPhone, but in the visual images we see the smartphone. Either way, it can be a tool that will require a camera, an existing light sensor and a proximity sensor.
The electronic device would use the camera once sensation of proximity emits light from the user's body (such as a finger or palm) that touches the surface of the app. This technique is intended to combine data with cardiac function, electrocardiograms and other indicators of body shape.
Heart rate sensors
Patent 10,524,735 is closely related to iPhone and Apple Watch. Explain ways to identify events when certain specific patterns are determined or features occur in a physical signal. That is, the system in charge see illegal in the user's life, especially in the rhythm of the heartbeat.
One of these symptoms can be an electrocardiogram. Sensors configured to monitor these signals can be detected by navigation or other audio sources, which can reduce measurement accuracy. A patent indicates a device with a light switch to detect the physical signal.
Regular exercise calorie
A calorimeter, as its name implies, is a tool that can measure the heat released or absorbed by the body. And Apple's 10,524,670 patents make the Apple Watch a tool that can measure heat during exercise.
As pointed out by Pately Apple, the Apple Watch will be able to provide the most accurate and personalized data with a built-in calorimeter. Some applications may provide sufficient information calories burned With calorimetry techniques for various exercises such as walking, running, dancing, cycling or weight lifting.
However, it will not only measure a user's body temperature during exercise, but also at times when the sedentary lifestyle is paid to warn users that they need more exercise and burn calories.
And these have been the three most recent issues registered by Apple and the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The three patents are health related and that can bring great deals to the iPhone and Apple Watch.
