Airbag For Mobilephones

Airbag For Mobilephones


 We've all either done it or had nightmares about it: dropping an expensive mobile device. Well, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos thinks he has the solution--mobile phone airbags.

“While the size and weight of portable devices make them convenient to carry around, these characteristics often make them more susceptible to damage and loss,” the application explains. “With the number of cellular phones in use exceeding several billion and repairs typically exceeding Rs1800, the costs of damage and loss of cellular phones amounts to billions of Rupees  per year.”





The technology would deploy the airbags in such as way so that the impact would be absorbed by the airbag first. This would cushion the blow and make the difference between a shattered screen and a device with a few nicks and scrapes



It might not be an airbag that saves your phone: Bezos’ idea says springs could be used instead, or maybe an expulsion of air (is your device going to land like a spaceship?), or maybe even a combination of these ideas. Kind of out there, but certainly an interesting concept





Amazon is now came up with a new air bag technology, same as like the air bag system in automotive. Air bag can protect the phone from serious damages while falling down. This technology is not only going to apply with mobile phones but with cameras, tablets etc



Amazon got approved their patent for applying their new air bag technology with mobile phones, tablets and cameras. The technology uses device's gyroscope, camera, or other sensors to determine if the device its moving quickly toward the ground
