Samsung's Wearable Device Revolutionizes User Biometric Information Acquisition

Samsung, a well-known tech giant, has recently unveiled a revolutionary new wearable device that could revolutionize the way users acquire biometric information. This patent, US20230238684A1, describes a device that includes a metal member, a printed circuit board, a patch antenna, and a processor.

The device is designed to detect user biometric information through the metal member and a conductive portion on the device. This means that users can collect biometric data such as body temperature, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels without the need for any external sensors. This could be a game-changer in the health and fitness industry.

Samsung's device is based on a technology known as Cross-Reference to Related Application, which is a continuation application claiming priority under §365(c) of an International application No. PCT/KR2023/001036 filed on Jan. 20, 2023. This technology allows the device to collect user biometric information using the metal member and a conductive portion on the device.

The device is also equipped with a patch antenna and a processor. This means that the device can be used to communicate with other devices wirelessly. This could be used to connect to a smartphone or a computer to collect and analyze biometric data.

Moreover, the device is also capable of providing entertainment, multimedia, communication, and security functions. This could be used for mobile banking, gaming, music/video playback, and more.

The device is made from high-quality materials and is designed to be lightweight and comfortable to wear. It is also water-resistant and dust-proof, making it ideal for outdoor use.

The device could have a wide variety of applications in the health and fitness industry. For example, it could be used to monitor a person's health and fitness levels in real time. It could also be used to monitor a person's heart rate and oxygen levels during exercise, or to track their sleep patterns.

The device could also be used in the medical field. For example, it could be used to monitor a patient's biometric data and alert doctors if any changes occur.

Of course, the device is still only a patent, and there is no guarantee that it will ever be released to the public. But if it is, it could be a revolutionary new technology that could revolutionize the way users acquire biometric information.

The patent, US20230238684A1, was filed by Samsung Electronics Co., a South Korean multinational electronics company. The company is well known for its wide range of products, from smartphones and TVs to refrigerators and washing machines.

Samsung is known for its cutting-edge technology and innovation, and this new patent could be a great example of that. It could revolutionize the way users acquire biometric information and open up a whole new world of possibilities.

Although the patent is still in its early stages, it is an exciting development for the industry that could have a huge impact on the way we monitor our health and fitness. It is possible that this technology could come to the market in the near future, and if it does, it could be a game-changer.
