Google wants to take 'airplane mode' to the next level.

According to PhoneArena , although users already know how to activate airplane mode on their phones, Google's patent would require the device's sensors to determine if you are flying by detecting changes in acceleration and speed, pressure drops, and listening for certain sounds.

Airplane mode on Android will become more interesting in the future.

The patent application details show that the triggers for Connected Airplane Mode include environmental factors such as depressurization and changes in acceleration and velocity; cabin sounds such as flight engine noise, ultrasonic signals from aircraft headlights, various radio signals (GPS, cellular ID, Wi-Fi signals); and contextual factors such as flight booking activity...

Once the device detects the user is on flight, Connected Flight mode will automatically activate, with the purpose of muting the mobile device's radio when connected to the aircraft's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals.

Currently, if you turn on airplane mode on your phone, all connections are turned off, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but users can turn them back on after enabling airplane mode. When Connected Flight mode is enabled, based on what is shown in the patent, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections remain active for use on an airplane.

Google still needs more time to refine it before bringing this feature to Android users.
