Samsung filed Patent for Automatic Calorie Nutrition Tracking via Galaxy Watches in the USA
Automatic calorie and nutrition tracker is an area of interest for many wearable technology manufacturers, including Samsung. With this, Samsung is about to launch a Galaxy Smartwatch that will hit a new milestone in wearable technology. A function that might be included in Upcoming galaxy smartwatches has been disclosed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Common smartwatches often calculate calories burnt by analyzing the activity and heartbeat rate data of the wearer. According to a patent application by Samsung with the US 11,653,836 B2 patent number, a smartwatch will allegedly be able to calculate the ingested calories as well.
Current Smart Watches, which are available in the market, rely on manually entered information concerning what the person has consumed that day.
A spectroscope and an LED are used by Samsung to measure whether light wavelengths are absorbed, emitted and reflected by the skin according to the information provided in the patent filing. A patent filing process explains that Samsung is planning something big to bring up in the technology marketplace.

One of the extraordinary features is that the algorithm calculates the calories that have been intaken by comparing it to the user’s data when he was hungry. Additional features involve analyzing the user’s daily activity along with their medical history. The current methods are less accurate compared to this one. Samsung is in the process of developing sensors to track blood pressure and blood alcohol levels. This model aims to hold every piece of information that is crucial for a person’s everyday life analysis and activities.
And Samsung is even working on adding extra features that will make the model stand out of the line. The presence of a patent in the making of this model describes the innovation and novelty that Samsung has brought into this, and these smart watches will surely make up the future era of Galaxy Watches.

In the last few years, Google has been dedicatedly working to improve the WearOS platform, which aims to provide services to make the smartwatch experience better. However, to bring about the enhancement, the company is not dependent on major software updates, while many of them provide changes through new updates.
For instance, last month saw the global implementation of a new update to Google Maps for WearOS devices, which included the ability to synchronize 3D buildings and display directions on public transport.
According to the information, now Google Developer is to guarantee the user OS that it will provide a whole new express for the Google Map. It has provided some new features, including a new shortcut to facilitate access to the map.
With the latest version of Google Maps 11.124.0702.W, the company has introduced a new Google Maps replacement search button with the ‘Map’ button, which allows you to directly access the map view.
However, there is no important or majorly significant feature spotted in the update, but the developers of Mountain View Company are dedicatedly providing some innovation in the next update. To take advantage of the new feature, you just need to search for the update.
Samsung is all set to expand its Galaxy smartwatch area, but this time under the new title, Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Surely, the Korean giant will introduce a brand new Galaxy watch at the Galaxy Unpacked event, but it appears that the plan is to ditch the Watch 7 Pro for the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Previously, we reported that this time Samsung could introduce three variants of the next-generation Galaxy Watch 7: Standard, Classic, and Pro. But now a recent report is claiming that Samsung might introduce the Watch Utra instead of the Watch 7 Pro.
Earlier, a larger battery of 578 mAh was reported for the forthcoming Galaxy Watch, along with the model number EB-BL705ABY. If the recent reports are to be believed, three distinct model numbers will come into existence for the upcoming Galaxy Watch Ultra, which are as follows: SM-L705U, SM-L705N, and SM-L705F.
These model numbers represent the US, Korea, and Global. The new Watch Utra will be officially launched in various regions. The Galaxy Watch FE will bring similar features to the Galaxy Watch 4, introduced back in 2021. This fan edition of the Galaxy Watch is expected to arrive in the coming months and will be available with particular models for the US, Korea, and other regions.

Since the Korean giant is working on two different Galaxy Watch models, we are expecting some significant differences between the Watch Ultra and Watch FE. However, the brand has not revealed anything regarding both watches officially yet, but it is expected that the Watch Ultra could offer advanced sensors to provide more accurate GPS and workout activity tracking. It will be interesting to see what novelty these watches will bring.
The Korean brand ‘Samsung’ is actively working to expand its wearable smartwatch family by introducing a next-generation watch, the Galaxy Watch 7, which is expected to have a blood sugar monitoring feature.
Samsung is now appearing to introduce a new convenient functionality on the Galaxy smartwatch, as it may offer blood sugar monitoring with the Galaxy Watch 7. This is being speculated by a new report in South Korea.
We have already reported that Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked Event will be scheduled for July 10th, 2024, at which it will unveil the Galaxy Watch 7 and many other devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip 6, and Galaxy Ring.
The Vice President and head of digital healthcare at Samsung Electronics, Hon. Pak, highlighted the brand’s work on achieving noninvasive blood sugar monitoring through its wearable devices early this year. Apart from this, he also pointed out that Samsung was putting in ‘ asignificant investment” to make them happen.
Pak recently met with the advisory board members of the Samsung Health platform at the Samsung Medical Center in Seoul to discuss blood sugar monitoring, diabetes, and the application of AI to Samsung Health. It is expected that the Korean giant will offer blood sugar monitoring for the upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 series.
However, the giant probably decided to classify the smartwatch as an electronic device instead of a medical device, largely due to regulatory considerations. It could also happen that this feature may be made available on the Samsung Galaxy Ring.
