Chinese technology giant Xiaomi has patented the technology it developed to facilitate earthquake detection. Thanks to this new technology, where seismic waves can be monitored, Xiaomi will be able to detect earthquakes.
With the development of technology, devices, which have gained a different dimension and whose features are increasing day by day, have not only made our lives easier, but have also begun to play a life-saving role. Emergency call feature on older phones; It has evolved into smart wristwatches that detect a hard fall and ask about their status or call the ambulance, and phones that can sense an earthquake in advance.
Chinese technology company Xiaomi has also said that it has developed a technology that warns the user at the time of earthquake and that at least 35 earthquakes above 4.0 have been detected thanks to this technology. Developing the scope and features of the technology in question, Xiaomi received a patent from CNIPA (Chinese National Intellectual Property Administration).
It will detect seismic waves:
The patent, which has the application number CN113406696A, was published with the title "Method and Equipment that Enables Mobile Devices to Perform Seismic Monitoring". The operation of the system was also mentioned in the published patent file, and it was stated that seismic waves can be monitored thanks to virtual sensors. Xiaomi will use this technology for earthquake detection.
But this will not be the only function of technology. The technology will also be able to provide a great service such as predicting earthquakes according to the information contained in the patent. Of course, we do not yet know how much accuracy this service gives. Technology is thought to play a crucial role in the event of a major disaster.
Xiaomi also patented a solution to prevent wrinkles in foldable devices. According to the patent documents, this solution includes two supporters for the flexible display panel.
