Samsung files patent for phone that detects chances of pregnancy
Don’t get any ideas now but Samsung has just filed a patent for a phone that can detect the chances of a lady getting pregnant. The phone calculates how far the lady is in the ovulation process, allowing them to know how safe it is to have sex. It would be very interesting to know what inspired such an idea.
The phone works by using a distance sensor (either laser or ultrasound based) to measure how far the ear is from the phone, and an infrared ray temperature sensor will measure process temperatures inside the eardrum.
The phone then translates the data taken from the ear to read the Basal Body Temperature of the body. The BBT data is essential in monitoring the cyclic ovulation of females.
It’s a step safer than other measures for safe sex to be sure, but perhaps it wasn’t wise to directly associate sex with a phone. Pavlov’s dog effect will not bode well in this situation.
