I love new patents that are filled by Apple. They are so interesting and there ideas are always one-of-a-kind. We have seen everything from a tablet PC, to a solar-powered iPhone, and now a new patent filling for an iPhone that knows when it is going to be disconnected.

That is not all the have up their sleeves. Apple has also filled another patent that allows the iPhone to be a tracking device. The first filing describes methods of providing iPhone or iPod touch users with an “out of range” warning that includes an estimate of an amount of time remaining until the devices are out of range of a WiFi network, thus presenting the user with the option of taking corrective measures.

“If the estimated amount of time until the wireless device projected to be out of range is less than [a] threshold, a tangible warning is issued to that effect,” Apple said. “In this way, warnings are only issued for those situations where the loss of signal would affect the user in the here and now and thereby prevent unnecessary (and potentially annoying) warnings being issued.”

But there is more—Apple wants to allow a warning to be wirelessly transmitted to any other person currently in communication with the user of the wireless device indicating that the call may be dropped so they know and have the option to do something also.

Another patent filling suggest a method and system for locating objects using Bluetooth, such as the tiny Bluetooth Headset. The concept would allow iPhone users to ping paired Bluetooth devices, which could then emit a high pitched sound or light.

Of course, Apple doesn’t stop there by suggesting that they could also sell a tiny Bluetooth device that could be attached to almost anything (like a set of keys) that would aid in locating objects in the event they become lost. An interface on the iPhone could manage several of the devices at the same time. How cool is that?

The patent goes on to describe more. I do hope these technologies are developed. As Mr. Jobs has said, “the possibilities are endless.”
