Apple Watch Series 8 Case Temperature Sensor Already Patented

Mansana received patent approval for a high-precision body temperature sensor within weeks of launch Apple Watch Series 8 which is rumored to have those capabilities.

Apple sent an offer US Patent and Trademark Officelater discovered MyHealthApple. Name “Temperature sensor in electronic devices”. Although this document assumes that it can be used on any computer, the illustrations shown are for Apple Watch.

The issued patent proposes an electronic component comprising a sensor and a differential sensor. The system works by calculating the difference between the two ends of the probe. One touches the measured surface, and the other touches the sensor. Thus, by calculating the voltage difference, the sensor can relate it to a certain temperature.

The patent explains in detail how the hardware component and thermal sensor work. And how it can be installed on mobile devices indoors or outdoors. The latter specifically mentions how it can be located on the back of the smartwatch. A high-precision absolute temperature sensor is also mentioned.”

The temperature sensor was in the Apple Watch Series 7, but it was delayed on Series 8

The temperature sensor was originally supposed to arrive last year along with Apple Watch Series 7. Apple abandoned the new feature due to problems with the development of the algorithm. It did not meet the necessary requirements prior to the technical review process.

The problem with measuring temperature using the surface of the skin is that it varies significantly depending on the climate in which the person is located. Hence the need for an algorithm that compensates and gives the most accurate results.

Possibly with the launch Apple Watch Series 8, which will be accompanied by a new design – although new rumors suggest that this is not the case – is the right time to include a reliable temperature measurement system. In addition, it would give users a significant amount of information. From the ability to predict diseases to help couples in the process of conceiving children. It will also give more context during your sleep phases and even tell you if you have a fever. Although the latter, apparently, will not be available from the very beginning.

It is true that granted patents do not guarantee new products or new features. But the temperature sensor will launch in September alongside the new Apple Watch Series 8. Wall Street Journal as Mark Gurman in Bloomberg.
