I lost the completely wireless (TWS: True Wireless Stereo) earphones along with the charging case-good news for such consumers. It seems that Xiaomi is developing a wireless earphone that can be stored in a smartphone.
Can also be used as a speaker
The Xiaomi patent, which was registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in January, consists of two patents: smartphones and wireless earphones. As you can see from the image published by the patent-related news site LTE SGO DIGITAL based on the patent, there are holes on the left and right of the top of the smartphone, and you can store the earphones.
Even if the built-in space of the smartphone is limited, some people may think that they cannot afford to store the earphones. In fact, when the Galaxy Note7 got into a recall turmoil in the past, it was pointed out early that the forcible packing of parts caused the fire.
But according to Letsgodigital, the patent says the earphones act as speakers when stowed. I think it’s a revolutionary idea that if you remove it, it becomes a wireless earphone, and if you store it, it becomes a speaker.
Although there is no precedent for storing wireless earphones, the idea of storing accessories in a smartphone has been adopted by Samsung in the Galaxy Note series featuring a stylus pen. At the moment, it is still in the patenting stage, and although Xiaomi is not necessarily commercialized, there are many people who are waiting for it.
