According to the info, the Samsung patent, filed under patent number US 11,653,836 B2, hints at a new smartwatch feature that will determine the number of calories consumed too. As of now, smartwatches show estimated calorie intake data based on heart rate and movement data.
Samsung Galaxy Watch x Calorie Assessment
Samsung’s patent describes using an LED and a spectroscope to measure which wavelengths of light are absorbed, emitted, or reflected by the skin. Later on, the model compares this data against a reference that it created when the wearer is hungry.
After that, an algorithm calculates the calories consumed by comparing current user data with its reference. The company also adjusts its analysis by taking user medical history into account, as well as usual how much the wearer has been active during that day.
As the Galaxy Watch 6 models are just around the corner, forget the calorie intake feature’s arrival this year. The company has been working on a number of new features and technologies, and with this patent is another entry in the huge directory.
If Samsung finishes the development and reaches a satisfactory mark in testing, it will surely come to smartwatches in the future. This feature could be able to help people to manage calorie intake more precisely rather than relying on current, less accurate methods.
Samsung provides a Fall detection feature to the Galaxy Watches in addition to several Health alert functions. But for some time, Galaxy Watch users are facing an issue related to fall detection notifications, due to which they are not able to properly use other functions of their Samsung smartwatch.
Several community users have reported that the hard fall detection notification pops up repeatedly on the Galaxy Watch, even when no fall has occurred. If you are also facing the fall detection notification issue on your Galaxy Watch, then you can check the solution below.
The Samsung smartphone’s fall detection feature triggers a 60-second notification on your watch when it detects a hard fall. If you don’t respond, it will send an SOS message to the emergency contact listed with your location. The smartwatch also allows you to call an emergency contact if you’re in a position to do so.
If you don’t need the fall detection function during daily life then you just need to change the setting of this function.
