Some people may think the Apple Smart Cover has been paid tribute to the realm of makes no sense does it? But this time the official boarded United States Patent Office (USPTO) patent, to some degree against rival army was up and play some fresh feeling. In the Apple patent made by more than a year ago, they depicted carrying flexible display version of the Smart Cover, preparing all kinds of "extended display" applications to join the dedicated accessories iPad. In the above figure should not be hard to see how Apple intends to apply this feature in Smart Cover which has a row of joined-they display with touch function, the iPad home screen extension of the most basic purpose should be the extension of the home screen Apps icons on the screen as the quick start (or more tasks columns? ) Purposes.
Connection interface on the hardware, we can see that the flat side should also receive dedicated contact devices (stemmed from dual Dock design? ）。 Same single-row display function can be used in curl for stereo triangle stand State, behind the fuselage brings touch to playback and display features such as status, notification. Complete using the Smart Cover the surface as a display of the application can patent-except in very similar to Microsoft's touch keyboard feature, can also be done as synchronous display of the drawing board uses, can also cover cases with lateral surface of the screen display a notification, you can even enter the information directly.
These patented ideas currently seems a little surreal, but the available flexible display (flexible display) development, because Apple gives up "see" accelerated development is difficult to say. Imagine, since the iPad has been unable to provide of E-ink of technology's electronic paper displays regret, maybe also in this form in the future:-well, makes a dream does not do? And figure set for each situation might also be dreams of it, quickly went in for a look.
