苹果弯曲iPhone手机专利通过配置虚拟按钮
元器件交易网讯 3月5日消息,据外媒报道,苹果近日通过一项专利,暴露了该公司可能生产一款带虚拟按钮的柔性弯曲iPhone手机。
这项专利最早是在2011年提出申请的,2013年首次公开,但是直到现在,它才正式属于苹果。
从专利图上可以看出,可弯曲iPhone有一个包裹式的屏幕,界面每行能显示5个应用程序。
据猜测新的iPhone能用多个摄像头追踪用户脸部,并做相应调整。
虚拟按钮
另外,专利还涵盖了虚拟按钮,这对苹果手机来说是个创新。
苹果一直保持其物理按钮,音量和锁按钮也总是必不可少的。但这项专利显示,苹果iPhone的输入配置可能与大家所认为的不一样。
这个版本的音量控制在仍在左边,但是还有一些附加功能。例如,音量级别总是可见的,以某种方式触摸虚拟按钮可以控制手机另一边的按钮,给用户更精细的控制。
还有,可在手机两侧使用触摸手势代替锁屏按钮的功能。
现在,苹果已经拿下这项专利,这些功能是否会用在iPhone 6上,尚不得知。

外媒原文如下:
Apple has been granted a panted that, among other things, exposes the company"s possible plans for a flexible, curvediPhone with virtual buttons.
The patent was originally filed in 2011 and first surfaced in March 2013, but as of now it officially belongs to Apple.
The images from the patent, first seen a year ago, show a curved iPhone with a wraparound display that grants it extra surface area able to display five apps per row.
The hypothetical new iPhone can use multiple cameras to track users" faces and adjust the display accordingly.
Virtual buttons
In addition the patent covers virtual buttons, which would be a first for an Apple mobile.
Apple has long stood by its physical home button, and the volume and lock buttons have always seemed essential as well. But this patent shows that the input configuration of Apple"s iPhones may not be as cemented in stone as one might have thought.
The volume control in this version is still on the left side, but has some added functionality. For example, the volume level would be visible at all times, and touching the virtual buttons in a certain way could expand the control to span the entire left side of the phone, giving users finer control.
In addition the lock button"s functionality could hypothetically be controlled using touch gesture"s on the phone"s sides.
Now that Apple"s been granted this patent, will we see all these features in the iPhone 6? It seems unlikely, but you never know.
