Application: Wearable device used as digital pool attendant (Patent ID: US20240105043A1)
The patent filed by Apple Inc. describes a wearable device that functions as a digital pool attendant. The device uses sensor data to determine if a user is swimming or not, and if irregular behavior is detected while swimming, an alert message is sent to other devices. The method involves analyzing metrics such as stroke rate, stroke style, heart rate, and limb coordination to classify the user's swimming behavior accurately.
The system includes a wearable device with sensors, a biosensor, a communication transmitter, and a processor that performs operations to monitor the user's swimming behavior. Additionally, a monitor and control station can receive alert messages from multiple wearable devices to ensure user safety. The alert messages can be sent using various methods such as electromagnetic waves, sonar, or radar, allowing for quick response in case of irregular behavior while swimming.
