According to the document, we are talking about a case that not only adds a fingerprint scanner, but can also replace some of the smartphone’s hardware keys.
This smart cover will be able to recognize various gestures like swiping and long-pressing, and it can also act as a button on your phone.
For example, when connecting a case, the buttons on the device will be disabled and their functions will be performed by the accessory itself. Moreover, the case will use NFC technology, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Flipsuit case.
It is worth noting that this is a patent and therefore there is no time frame yet for the device to hit the market.
