Apple invents the tactile and chameleon Apple Watch bracelet

In a new patent filed
by Apple and revealed by the US Trademark and Patent Office, it is
question of new technologies for Apple Watch bracelets

Apple imagines offering them astonishing capabilities like the
color changing and touch controls. Pour
PatentlyApple, this would be a way to bring functions to the watch
related to telephony.

The bracelet described would be composed of a liquid fluid, an LED and a
color filter. Everything would be assembled in such a way that the bracelet of the
watch couldchange color depending on the position of the
filtered.

The bracelet would also be segmented into different compartments for playing
on color combinations.

Beyond aesthetics, the change in color of the bracelet, for example
from white to blue could mean receiving an incoming call. Other
example, flashing in a red color could indicate reception
of a text message.

In the technical paper filed by Apple, there is also talk of a
possibility of touching the different compartments of the bracelet to
perform actions. For example, by touching part of the
bracelet lit blue, the user couldtake the call
entrant.

With this patent, Apple shows its desireto extend the functions
and possible controls with the Apple Watch, by exploring the
possibilities beyond the case, via the bracelet.

This is not the first patent to want to integrate into the bracelet
quite surprising features. At the end of last year, we noted a patent
with
integration of a screen directly into the bracelet, while in April of
this year it was
question of smart bracelet and augmented with various functions
(battery, display, additional speaker, etc.).
