Accidental drops can be deadly for a smartphone, especially if they have touchscreens but a new technology has arrived which could prove to be a must for today's handsets as it works like an airbag as found in cars.
Retail giant Amazon has been granted the patent of this smartphone protection technology which involves air jets and an airbag that will automatically deploy in order to reduce the damage a smartphone receives in case of a fall.
The smartphones, according to the patent, can be fitted with an airbag system along with cartridges filled with compressed CO2 gas. In an even of a fall the system will detect the orientation of the device and with the help of the compressed gas it will try to alter the orientation of the device so that the device lands on the airbag minimizing damage. The change in the orientation is done via a series of jets that act as thrusters altering the point of impact of the device.
