Hello!!
Motorola, a totally unpredictable brand has come up with yet another amazing revolution. After introducing the concept of assembled phones, the company a has come up with a really cool way of making/receiving calls. A technology that tattoos a microphone on your throat, complete with power supply, antenna, receiver and even an optional display!
According to the patent application filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office, this tattoo on the throat will act as a standard microphone that will pair with mobile devices over Bluetooth, NFC and ZigBee networks. The microphone will pick up vibrations straight from the larynx (or voice box in layman's terms) in the throat, thus eliminating the background noise that many calls suffer from and make for clearer voice quality during calls.
Motorola's patent filing says: "The electronic skin tattoo is capable of receiving an initialization signal at the controller and from the MCD (mobile communication device) to initiate reception of an audio stream picked up from the throat region of the body for subsequent audio detection by the MCD under an improved signal-to-noise ratio than without employing the electronic skin tattoo."
The filing says that the tattoo can be applied on animals as well and can be embedded into a collar or band (both flexible and stiff) that is worn around the neck.
And that's not all. Motorola's throat tattoo will double up as a lie detector too!
The patent filing says: "Optionally, the electronic skin tattoo 200 can further include a galvanic skin response detector to detect skin resistance of a user. It is contemplated that a user that may be nervous or engaged in speaking falsehoods may exhibit different galvanic skin response than a more confident, truth telling individual."
This is certainly one of the most unique ways of tapping into the world of wearable computing, which is witnessing a huge interest, thanks to Samsung and Sony's smartwatches and Google Glass.
Incidentally, this is not the first time that Motorola has talked of a tattoo. At the D11 conference this year, the company's senior vice president of advanced research showcased an electronic tattoo made by a company called MC10. This electronic tattoo operates as a universal password.
Motorola has announced that it will launch the low-cost Moto G smartphone on November 13. It has also started a project called Ara that aims to create customizable smartphones, with the target of changing the landscape for mobile hardware just as Android has for software.
Technology keeps getting better and more exciting day after day. We can only wait and watch to which extant it keeps going.
Thank you
cheers!!
