The Chinese company Xiaomi, according to Internet sources, is studying the possibility of releasing a new wearable device. The description of the gadget is given in a recently published patent document.

The application for registration of the invention was submitted on behalf of the Beijing company Xiaomi Mobile Software Co. The document is called «Smart glasses and glasses case».

Xiaomi is thinking about glasses with therapeutic functions. It is assumed that the device will be able to generate sound signals, electromagnetic waves, as well as light radiation (ultraviolet, infrared and/or visible).

According to the developers, the gadget will help in the treatment of various disorders and mental illnesses. These can be, for example, headaches, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, etc. In addition, glasses will help relieve eye strain after long hours of work at the computer.

Judging by the patent illustration, the device will look like ordinary glasses. It is said that there are different emitters for generating signals of one type or another. Power will be provided by a built-in battery.

Unfortunately, it is not yet clear when such a gadget may appear on the commercial market.

In mid-January, a few days before the resignation, the Donald Trump administration blacklisted Xiaomi. The Chinese company did not wait long and came up with an answer by suing the state government.

What does it mean

Recall that the sanctions imply a ban on American investment in a Chinese company. In addition, all existing investors will be required to withdraw their assets by November 11, 2021. And although this is not a repeat of history with Huawei, Xiaomi is still outraged by this decision.

The official statement states that the company «provides products and services for civilian and commercial use, is not owned, controlled by, or affiliated with the Chinese military, and is not a ‘communist Chinese military company’.»

Xiaomi also emphasizes that «it will face imminent, serious and irreparable harm if the order remains in place and the restrictions go into effect.»

By the way, specific people are named in the lawsuit — US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen. Although they took office after the inauguration of current President Joe Biden (Joe Biden), that is, after the imposition of sanctions.

In mid-January, a few days before his resignation, the administration of Donald Trump put Xiaomi on the «black list». The Chinese company did not wait long and came up with an answer by suing the state government.

What does it mean

We will remind that the sanctions include a ban on American investments in a Chinese company. In addition, all existing investors will have until November 11, 2021 to withdraw their assets. And although this is not a repeat of the story with Huawei, Xiaomi is still outraged by such a decision.

An official statement said the company «provides products and services for civilian and commercial use, is not owned, controlled or affiliated with the Chinese military and is not a ‘communist Chinese military company.’

Xiaomi also emphasizes that «it will face unavoidable, serious and irreparable damage if the order remains in force and the restrictions come into force.»

To say that the state-owned Xiaomi Mi A3 was unlucky with updates is an understatement. It has survived four attempts to update to Android 10 and at least three builds of Android 11, and now Xiaomi has released another update for the smartphone.

What we have added

In addition to the new Android security fixes that will replace the December 2020 patches, the update adds a screen recording feature that was previously disabled for some reason. In addition, YouTube Music is now a system app for Android and included in the standard download.

We hope the update goes smoothly this time around. Recall that at the end of December, updating to Android 11 broke Xiaomi Mi A3 smartphones: they stopped working and turned into «bricks». The company was forced to stop the rollout, after which Xiaomi said it would repair the affected gadgets for free.
