CTOnews.com, March 24 (Xinhua)-- according to a list released by the US Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Apple has recently obtained a new patent to scan your body shape and check for other health problems, such as obesity, with the help of iPhone, Apple Watch and other Apple devices.

Apple said in the patent that it wants to determine the size of the human body by using large and complex optical devices, so it is difficult to integrate into small consumer electronics devices that are user-friendly.

CTOnews.com learned from the patent that Apple has outlined new ways to detect the body using handheld devices such as the iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad or HomePod.

The user uses the handheld device to take a selfie in a plurality of 3D point pictures, and then determines the shape of the torso according to the 3D point map, so as to construct a complete figure of the user.
