- ezfe 1y agoThat this is okay?
- anonu 1y agohttps://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/H335304 https://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/H335304 maybe this - from January 2025 It appears the patent is for "User-Worn Device for Noninvasively Measuring a Physiological Parameter of a User". So Apple is simply moving the logic to a non user-worn device - like a phone - to get around the problem. (this is my quick read / conjecture) Here is the original patent https://patents.google.com/patent/US10912502B2/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US10912502B2/en
- freehorse 1y agoYeah, prob because one cannot patent an algorithm itself, but only a specific implementation. The patent was about a wearable device so i guess the workaround was to do the computations in a non-wearable device.
