Apple Apple Watch new patent: the wearer can control HomePod, smart home devices and so on through gestures.

CTOnews.com March 10 news, imagine such a scenario: after you wear an Apple Watch smartwatch, you can turn up the volume of the HomePod by raising your hand; you can close the smart curtains by sweeping; or raise your head to mute, and so on. This is the application scenario envisioned by Apple in its latest patent.

According to a list published by the US Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Apple has won a new patent called "Multi-device gesture Control" (Multi-Device Gesture Control).

The patent shows that by embedding multiple sensors in the Apple Watch, you can monitor the user's gestures and control other networked devices according to the gestures.

The summary of the patent translated by CTOnews.com reads as follows: "the electronic device can control different functions of multiple devices by mapping a limited set of user gestures to a number of other devices, and a specific gesture can control a particular element."
