Apple has been granted a patent involving a “Watch Band for a Smart Watch” for illuminated bands for the Apple Watch.
About the patent
In the patent Apple notes that oortable electronic devices have become increasingly popular, and the features and functionality provided by portable electronic devices continue to expand to meet the needs and expectations of many consumers. Some portable electronic devices, such as smart watches, provide fitness and/or health tracking capabilities.
Because these devices can be used during periods of user activity, fitness and/or health metrics can be helpful to protect the health and safety of the user during the activity. Apple’s patent involves bands that fasten securely to an Apple Watch and offer illumination features for increased visibility.
Summary of the patent
Here’s Apple’s abstract of the patent: “A watch band for a smart watch can secure the smart watch to the user’s wrist. The watch band can include a continuous loop of woven material to conform around the user’s wrist. The watch band can further include an encasement formed from a rigid material to receive the smart watch. The encasement can protect the smart watch during activities. The watch band can include a retention portion formed from a transparent material to receive the smart watch. The watch band can also include light emitted diodes to increase visibility.”
