What Is Xiaomi Earthquake Monitoring Patent? Earlier today, Xiaomi released a new patent for an interesting model of technology. This invention is registered as “Method and equipment for vibration monitoring of mobile devices”. In short, this refers to the patent for Xiaomi Earthquake Monitor for mobile.
Xiaomi Earthquake Monitoring Patent
The Chinese tech giant has the patent number CN113406696A and describes a method or system capable of reading/monitoring the seismic activity of mobile devices. In other words, this technology is used to detect earthquakes. In addition, the “mobile device” processes the key data obtained for sending to the earthquake processing center. Therefore, it is clear that the equipment belongs to the technical field of earthquake monitoring, and in one way or another, it is also related to disaster prevention.
This invention even describes the whole process and its function and seeks to standardize the virtual seismic sensor and determine the areas recorded with seismic activity on the map. The system also allows the main processor to detect and predict possible earthquake events based on multiple readings. These readings are through this virtual seismic sensor that transmits data to seismic processing centers.
In terms of applications, this could mean that Xiaomi is able to create an early warning system of mobile devices, which may even in the future include smartphones with sufficiently sensitive sensors. However, this is very unlikely. Notably, the technology is somewhat similar to the company’s initial earthquake warning system , which the company has integrated with MIUI and operates based on AI algorithms.
