According to AppleInsider, Apple has registered a new patent, according to which the protective cover Smart Cover will show a notification, despite the closed Accessories iPad screen. This technology will be available either through the built-in Smart Cover luminescent or LED—display, or via screen backlight iPad transparent or translucent cover.
With the advent of this technology it will be possible, for example, display a new e-mail or message received. They will be displayed on the Smart Cover in order of priority or exhibited marked with different colors depending on the urgency. The transparent cover provides more opportunities, since it will be possible to display not only the various notifications, but also, for example, to talk about the details and exhibitor for the upcoming events Calendar.
If we consider a different version for the screen backlight to the Smart Cover will need an additional source of energy. Its inflow may be provided either by another method of fastening the cover to the plate by means MagSafe, or due to inductive charging of iPad or other device.
In the changed Smart Cover, it is likely to remain the former structure, that is, still he will be able to function as a stand for the iPad. Because this accessory is very popular, a new notification system will be useful for all iPad users. However, it is unclear when this new Smart Cover, what are its weaknesses, and how much it will go more energy from the iPad will be presented.
