Originally published on November 14, 2013 <br /><br />Google-owned Motorola Mobility has recently filed a patent for an electronic skin tattoo whose functions range from picking up phones to detecting lies.<br /><br />Approximately the size of a band-aid, the tattoo is complete with a microphone, a transceiver, and its own power source. It sticks directly onto the neck, where it readily pick up the throat's vibrations, even in noisy environments.<br /><br />The tattoo's patent description states that it can be programmed to respond to a user's vocal intonation, and to specific words or melodies, and then transfer specific commands to phones, tablets, and gaming devices through Bluetooth-like signals.<br /><br />This Google tattoo can even detect lies by sensing conductivity changes in the user's skin. "It is contemplated that a user that may be nervous or engaging in speaking falsehoods may exhibit different galvanic skin response than a confident, truth telling individual," Motorola writes in its patent application. <br /><br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
