It seems like Apple is now on its way to developing something new and innovative. Recently, we reported that Apple is working on an ultra-thin touch sensor to reduce device size. But this morning, we got more information regarding a new patent from Apple.
Today, a new Apple patent was approved by the China National Intellectual Property Office. The patent was approved on 30 June. You can check out the patent here.
The patent is about a Dynamic Display Interface laptop. According to our observations, the laptop seems to be ordinary, but this can be seen in the patent. The laptop consists of more than one screen. In the patent, it is mentioned that the base part of the laptop consists of a keyboard and a light-transmitting cover.
The light cover defines a first touch-sensitive input along the first side of the keyboard area and a second touch-sensitive input area along the second side of the keyboard. The base portion also includes a part below the first touch-sensitive input area. All these touch-sensitive input areas may be used for a particular purpose, but it seems to be different for now.
According to the patent, these touch screens can be used for different things. For example, in diagram 8C, there is an example of a word processing program. The display at 840 (in 8C) will show us the content, page, chapter, title, or other summaries of the document of the displayed portion 841. In contrast, the display at 842, 844, and 846 will be used for showing additional setting buttons.
Looking at the sides of the laptop, it seems to be an ordinary-shaped laptop with old-style edges. Apple may launch this type of laptop (which includes more touch screens) in the future. If any more new leaks regarding this come, you will be updated on our website. So stay tuned!
