Has Nokia got what it takes to dethrone Apple iPhone?

Lee Williams, Senior Nokia VP, during S60 introduction in London described the way Nokia’s new handset will work as: “… this being so much more then about an orientation and double taps, and even more then a Wii gaming type of options…”.

Unwiredview.com reports on Nokia Touch User Interface patent, filed in June 2007, about six months after Apple introduced the iPhone, but one month before it was launched. Nokia seems to have found a way to go around Apple’s patents, moreover, it looks like its engineers have developed a user interface that might be beyond iPhone touch-screen capabilities.

Nokia’s answer on Apple capacitive multi-touch display is Active Matrix LCD with Integrated Optical Touch Screen. It’s AMLCD technology is based on touchscreen that is able to recognize multi-touch gestures. The device has optical sensors embedded throughout the display. The sensors can identify fingers placed on the screen and record their movements.

These recorded movements are then translated into control gestures using pattern recognition methods. Various one, two or multiple finger gestures can be then used to control different functions of the handset. That is how Nokia has interpreted and extended Apple’s multi-touch display idea.

What seems to be more interesting tough, is what Nokia’s engineers have made to take it further. They devised a user interface, that can track and recognize hand and finger movements in three dimensional space. That is possible thanks to the use of Ultrasonic Transducers (USTs), arranged around the perimeter of the display.

Ultrasonic transducers emit ultrasonic sound waves that are distributed through air. When such wave meets a finger on its path the signal is reflected back and detected by the transducer. And so by making definite gestures the user operate different applications. That 3D tracking can also be used for entering text through a virtual keyboard.

The big question is what Apple’s engineers have in stock for iPhone v2.0.

Apple’s patent on placing orders using your iPhone

iPhone World Ads: iPhone Accessories - Free iPhone - Unlimited iPhone Downloads - iPhone Games - Free iPod Touch

In an application with the U.S. Patents Office published on Dec. 20, Apple describes a wireless system that allows customers to place an order at a store using their media players, wireless personal digital assistants, or cellphones (iPhone, anyone?).

Not so long ago-in September, Apple announced a program with Starbucks, which allows iPhone users to press a button and wirelessly download the song playing in the background as they sip their coffee, and this new patent certainly extends on this relationship (it needs to be noted that the patent itself was filed in December 2006).

The goal of the new wireless orders system as the patent application notes, is to avoid an “annoying wait in a long queue if the purchaser arrives before completion of the order.”

Thanks to that program PDA, media player or cell phone users are enabled to order their favorite drink on their way to the nearest coffee shop. When the drink is ready to be served, the device they are using would chime or blink to let the customer know it’s time to collect their order at the counter.

With this patent Apple has got a chance to reach beyond selling gadgets, songs and movies. It would change Apple into intermediary in many more kinds of commercial exchange.
