Xiaomi: Filed a new patent for a smart breathing quality measurement mask!

Η Xiaomi has applied for a new patent for smart breathing masks.

Εin addition to the manufacture of smartphones, the Xiaomi deals in everything to do with the modern lifestyle, constantly bringing new products to its consumers at an affordable price. With air quality levels getting worse every day, now the Chinese company wants to offer new smart masks that measure the quality of the air we breathe and more.

The company has applied for a new patent for smart breathing masks. He applied for the patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

According to the patent, Xiaomi's smart mask will come with four different modules that will form an integrated processing unit. It will consist of a processor that will calculate all the data from the product's sensors. This data will be stored in the memory unit. In addition, there will be a connectivity unit that will transmit all stored data. Of course, all of this will be powered by the built-in battery. Finally, the smart mask will apparently have the standard air filters.

In terms of features, the smart mask will be able to record the total usage time along with the amount of pollution absorption. The smartphone manufacturer will use sensors that will calculate the amount of absorption. As expected, there will also be a compatible application to which the mask will send the recorded and calculated data. In addition, the mask will inform the Air Quality Index (AQI) using the host server.

There will also be various health sensors built into the mask that will measure and keep statistics such as the volume of air the user breathes, the total number of breaths and more. It will also measure whether the user is moving or not with the help of accelerometer and gyroscope. Surprisingly, it will also be able to measure whether the user's lung capacity is increasing or decreasing. We will also be able to see the mask identify breathing problems and possible solutions through the compatible app.

It should be noted, however, that although the company has applied for a patent, this does not necessarily mean that such a product will be released. Although it would be interesting to see a smart mask like this become a reality. Given the current levels of pollution, the Xiaomi smart mask will be a useful and important addition to the market.
