Smart ring
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a smart ring configured to be worn on a finger of a user;
at least one flexion sensor secured to the smart ring in a manner that can detect flexion of the finger of the user; and
,a processor and storage storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
analyze signals from the at least one flexion sensor to detect a predetermined initialization sequence, andin response to the predetermined initialization sequence, place the smart ring in an active state.

Abstract
The description relates to a smart ring. In one example, the smart ring can be configured to be worn on a first segment of a finger of a user. The example smart ring can include at least one flexion sensor secured to the smart ring in a manner that can detect a distance between the at least one flexion sensor and a second segment of the finger. The example smart ring can also include an input component configured to analyze signals from the at least one flexion sensor to detect a pose of the finger.

9. A system, comprising:
-
a smart ring configured to be worn on a finger of a user; a rotation sensor secured to the smart ring, the rotation sensor configured to sense rotation of the finger; a flexion sensor secured to the smart ring, the flexion sensor configured to sense flexion of the finger; and
,a processor and storage storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to map signals from the rotation sensor and the flexion sensor to a coordinate system of the smart ring. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
