It looks like Google wants a piece of the still nascent smartwatch market, or at least they don’t mind spending resources to secure related technology. A patent filed on behalf of Google was recently approved, detailing a smartwatch. Here’s what it says:
A smart-watch can include a wristband, a base, and a flip up portion. The base can be coupled to the wristband and include a housing, a processor, a wireless transceiver, and a tactile user interface. The wireless transceiver can be configured to connect to a wireless network. The tactile user interface can be configured to provide interaction between a user and the smart-watch. The flip up portion can be displaceable between an open position exposing the base and a closed position concealing the base. Further, the flip up portion can include: a top display exposed when the flip up portion is in the closed position, and an inside display opposite the top display. The inside display can be concealed when the flip up portion is in the closed position and be exposed when the flip up portion is in the open position.
And if you want to know more and see whether Google has what it takes to make a successful smartwatch, you can get the full text of the patent from here…
