Apple patents flexible iPhone and smart glasses

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

Among 28 patents Apple was granted Tuesday is one for a "flexible electronic device" and another for smart glasses technology that could challenge Google Glass.

"Rigid electronic devices may be vulnerable to damage in the event of an impact such as a drop of the device on a hard surface," the first patent reads. "It would therefore be desirable to be able to provide improved electronic devices."

The patent includes two dozen drawings showing how a device -- say, an Apple (AAPL, Tech30) iPhone -- could be warped and contorted. It could include flexible screens, flexible batteries and flexible circuit boards.

The other patent describes a social media tool called Lifestream, which collects "notes, recordings and annotation data elements."

That would be incorporated in smart glasses similar to Google Glass. The patent describes technology like a facial recognition application to recognize other attendees at a meeting.

The news was uncovered by the blog Patently Apple, which meticulously follows Apple's patent applications.
