The U.S. Patent Authority recently granted Apple the patent for a new "consumer electronics product" (iPhone) design that could enable the next version of the smartphone to be three-dimensional. According to the design, the device will have an embossed display that will be able to entertain many people at once without any special 3D glasses.
“Consumer electronics products mentioned in the patent filing will not have any" keys ". That is, unlike the current iPhone, it will not show any Home, Volume or Hold buttons, but will be able to do their job using the touch gestures of the screen through the new software.
In this case, a document published by the US Patent Office states that it is possible to increase or decrease the volume by placing a finger on the volume mark on the left side of the device and changing its position.
A new multi-touch gesture will also be used on one side of the handset to lock-unlock the handset without the hold button. It will have real time tracking feature to indicate the viewer's eye position which will show clear and real experienced pictures. The handset will also be able to adjust the viewing angle of the user by adjusting the viewing angle.
The iPhone-like patented 6 device can rely on "flexible screen technology" which has improved considerably in the last few years. At this year's CES fair, Apple's main rival, Samsung, unveiled smartphones with curved displays, and they are expected to go into production in mid-2013.
