We are heading towards a connected future and wearable tech will play a key role in that world. The Apple Watch is a fantastic innovation and it has revolutionized the tech world, but now the company has decided to add some more features to this already awesome device. By using the watch, the volume on the iPhone can be adjusted on the go. Apple Watch will now have the power to monitor and adjust the volume of the handset. The main idea is simple, Apple wants to sync every device the user is connected to and make communication easier. The patent has been published and this new invention will definitely take Apple Watch to the next level. Some sound samples are analyzed and the alert volume is adjusted automatically.

By adding advanced features to Apple Watch, the company wants to make it absolutely indispensable. They want to utilize iPhone’s huge user base and promote Apple Watch simultaneously. Volume control is a basic feature and it is used more often. By simply tapping on the screen, the user can adjust the volume, without even taking out the phone. It can be advantageous in both loud and silent environments. In particularly loud environments, hearing alerts and notifications is very difficult, as the sound can’t pass through the clutter. Here the user can increase the volume to the desired level. On the other hand, constant alerts as well as ringtones can be silenced in quiet environments. As the watch will always be attached to the user’s body; the accuracy will be much higher than an in‐built mechanism.

Apple Watch is amazing in many ways, it has a tiny microphone to record the ambient sound and also collect data regularly. This collected information serves as the baseline and by using this it analyzes background noise and makes necessary adjustments. The data which is obtained can be used for many purposes. The connected phone’s position can be accurately determined and audio signals can be cleaned up as well. Some command signals and thresholds are already programmed in the device which helps in volume modification.
