The company has filed a patent with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) dubbed \u201cActivating a Connected Flight Mode.\u201d<br \/>\nAirlines usually ask passengers to activate Airplane Mode when flying due to electromagnetic interference. Some other users might also use the feature to turn off connections and stay concentrated. Activating Airplane Mode in Android is as simple as tapping a toggle. But, Google is thinking of a new way to activate Airplane Mode automatically.<br \/>\nAccording to the patent details, your device will rely on sensors to track certain parameters, like acceleration and speed, in order to determine if you\u2019re flying. A drop in pressure and listening for cabin sounds are other ways to decide about the phone\u2019s and passenger\u2019s status.<br \/>\nGoogle to activate Airplane Mode in Android devices automatically by checking some environmental factors<br \/>\nAny change in the noise of the flight engine and altitude ding and radio signals (GPS, Cellular ID, Wi-Fi signal) will help Google to check if a device is in an airplane. Besides these environmental factors, Google might also check the booking records and check-in status to know when to activate Connected Flight Mode.<\/p>\n<p>Once the Connected Flight Mode is enabled, your device goes into a special mode to prevent electromagnetic interference. One great advantage of Connected Flight Mode is it allows you to stay connected to the plane\u2019s Bluetooth Wi-Fi. Instead, the Airplane Mode shuts down all connections in a device, and you should turn them on separately later.<br \/>\nAnother great thing about Connected Flight Mode is it treats in-flight Wi-Fi as a regular network. This means once your device is connected to in-flight Wi-Fi, it\u2019s like connecting to \u201chigh bandwidth capabilities and un-metered use.\u201d<br \/>\nGoogle explains the feature in this way: \u201cTherefore, processes which use a lot of bandwidth, such as photo backups, may still execute while on a flight regardless of actual flight network capacities and qualities and thus can take up a significant amount of the limited resources of the plane\u2019s internet connectivity. The disclosed technology can automatically switch a connected flight mode on before or during a flight to provide portable computing devices with granular levels of connectivity.\u201d<br \/>\nWith the Android 14 launch scheduled for fall 2023, it\u2019s unlikely that we can see Connected Flight Mode anytime soon.<br \/>\nThe post Google patented a smart Airplane Mode activation appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Cellphone-on-Airplane_Resized-600x449-1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"449\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google is reportedly working on a smart way to activate Airplane Mode.
