The American electronics company, Apple, is currently promoting the possibility of customizing the settings of the Apple Watch smart watch, such as the colorful bracelet and watch face. But the Apple Watch can change its color to match the color of the users’ clothes. CNET.com, which specializes in technology issues, indicated that Apple has published a patent aimed at giving the user more control over the design of the watch interface by making it more in line with anything he wants.
Theoretically, this could mean placing whatever the user chooses, be it their shirt, on the watch’s display, then pressing a button to activate the sensor on the watch, after which the watch’s color will change to match the color of the shirt.
More specifically, this feature can enable a color-sampling sensor, behind the display, according to the “Color-sampling Electronic Devices” patent. The new sensors can determine the color of an object by shining different lights on it and then monitoring the amount of light that is reflected from it. The module then uses the “corresponding reflectance data” to adjust the clock’s color to match the color of the object whose color is known.
It is noteworthy that the Apple Watch now allows the user to change the colors of specific elements such as the hour and minute hands, for example. But the user cannot change the color of each element individually on the watch interface, nor can the entire interface color be changed.
The patent also indicates that the color sample sensor can also be used with other used jewelry such as rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. As with any Apple patent, there is no guarantee that it will be translated into commercial production in the future, but it shows the extent of the company’s interest in exploring new technological horizons, according to CNET.
