Apple asked for a new patent, regarding sending messages and files while on the phone with someone. The patent is named “Auto Messaging to Currently Connected Caller”. Sending text messages, e-mails, documents and contact information will be possible while two phones are connected.
Because it is not convenient to hang the phone or search for contact information, Apple wants to build an interface which enables you to send those contact information for example.
There’s seems to be another patent application with the name “Speakerphone control for Mobile device”. This describes sensors which automatically shut down the speakerphone when the iPhone is put against the ear and the speakerphone will be activated when the iPhone is put aside. Two other patents are one for a sensor that can detect when a device is dropped and one for a connector that can charge devices even when they have a different power adapter.
