There is nothing to do: when Xiaomi it starts, nothing can stop it. His motto is not only "Technology for all" but also and above all "Technology for everything". We refer to a new patent that the company of Lei Jun presented to be able to produce one smart scarf: perhaps following the trail of Sony, which crowdfunded (in Japan) one last month shirt with built-in air conditioning, our beloved brand is spreading like wildfire and is also coming to the sectors that we never imagined a few years ago. But how is this smart accessory made?
Xiaomi smart scarf? The company has applied for a patent and will soon produce it
With application number 201910365123.8 this patent presents the accessory perhaps more useful, after the touch gloves means, that a person can have with him in winter. As shown in the figure below, this scarf is basically composed of a main body (1) a temperature detection unit (2) and a infrared heating sensor (3). On the accessory there is a small temperature-sensitive chip, which obviously detects the external and surrounding one. The detector, interacting with the heating sensor, is able to heat the main body giving a warmth that, just thinking about it now, comes the rubella.
Then we see two images that show us how temperature detectors can be placed in the main body of the accessory. In the photo below we see how they are large and have two forms, square and round and are arranged along the whole device for horizontal.
In this other image we see instead how the device is arranged, even if we find it difficult to call it that, as regards theelasticity. We struggle but we have to call it that because the elastic adjustment is composed of a electric motor (41) and a componentsin fact rubber band (42) and a corresponding power supply is also needed to ensure the normal operation of each component. Il electric motor dedicated to elasticity is connected to the temperature detection unit, which can automatically loosen or tighten the scarf based on the temperature of the surrounding environment: the usefulness of this function is unaware of us at the moment, but it probably serves for greater comfort when, for example, we enter the car and have to loosen the scarf: in fact if we think about it, entering into automobile, where the temperature is undoubtedly higher than the outside, we automatically remove the scarf. That Xiaomi has thought of that too?
It is worth noting that this smart scarf can also interact with smart devices, such as smartphones. A communication unit (5) is present on the smart scarf, so the user can check it to reach satisfactory temperature via the dedicated app on your device.
What to say, this time too Xiaomi he hit the mark. If this device comes out on the market we are sure it will be snapped up. What do you think, though? Is it useful or not?
