Apple recently applied for a patent on a “smart bike.” According to Wired’s Gadget Lab, the so-called smart bike would “let users communicate electronically with other cyclists, sharing such data as speed, distance, time, altitude, elevation, incline, decline, heart rate, power, derailleur setting, cadence, wind speed, path completed, expected future path, heart rate, power, and pace.”
Also announced with the smart bike is Apple’s new “smart bed” product. Like the bike, the bed can be plugged into an iPhone and provide users with such parameters as temperature, heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, pace, positions completed, elevation rate, re-elevation rate, moisture, dew point, friction coefficient, premature completion, decibel level, vertical down force, box spring sympathetic frequency, altitude (in inches or millimeters) and wall impact force in newton meters. The Smart Bed will use bluetooth and WiFi to broadcast data to the iPhones of all bed users in a local neural net. The Smart Bed has a “Rogue” setting that allows bed users to register certain phones in the bed’s “Busted” directory. Should the users of those phones come into range while the bed is in use, an alarm will sound, alerting users. The Smart Bed will come in sizes from Double/Full (54×75 in [137×191 cm]) to California King (72×84 in [183×213 cm]).
