In recent years, electronic devices can be described as strange, especially wearable electronic devices, from the latest news, Apple may be about to launch Apple smart ring.
Previously, from smart bracelets to smart watches to smart jackets, to smart masks, these electronic devices make us overwhelmed, and a few days ago, according to the official website of the State Intellectual Property Office, Apple applied for the "stretchable ring device" patent in November 2019, which shows in the patent abstract that this device will be worn on the user's finger.
Judging from the patent description obtained by Apple this time, this smart ring can be said to be the perfect inheritance of many functions of the Apple Watch.
It can collect input information from the user through built-in force sensors, ultrasonic sensors, inertial measurement units, optical sensors, touch sensors and other sensors and transmit it wirelessly to the associated device.
The size of this ring is not fixed, the shell has a ring body and a stretchable part, and the stretchable part includes a wing blade with a hinge, a rotatable shell member and other structures.
There are also a large number of sensors, this smart ring is not a separate device, more should be connected with other devices.
At the same time, the stretchable structure also means that this smart ring will be able to cover the knuckles of the fingers, and with the strain sensor on the shell, the ring can detect more precise movements such as finger bending.
In simple terms, this is a ring device with various sensors, and it is similar in shape to the NBA championship ring.
In fact, as early as 2015, there was news that Apple made smart rings, when it was not long after the Apple Watch was released, and the outside world generally believed that Apple would quickly cut into the wearable market. However, Apple has not dug further in this field, and has only maintained the Apple Watch product line so far.
Are you looking forward to the day apple rings go on sale?
