Abstract
A near field communication ring configured to be worn by a user is provided. The NFC ring may include at least one metal ring having a gap, a chip, and an antenna, wherein the chip and the antenna may be fixed to the at least one metal ring having a gap, and wherein the chip, using the antenna, is configured to provide a near field communication with an external device.
Claims13
A near field communication ring configured to be worn by a user, comprising:
- at least one metal ring having a gap;
- a chip;
- and
- an antenna, wherein the chip and the antenna are fixed to the at least one metal ring having a gap;
- wherein the chip, using the antenna, is configured to provide a near field communication with an external device, and
- wherein the gap is an isolation gap configured to reduce induction of eddy currents in the at least one ring.
Method of forming a near field communication ring configured to be worn by a user, comprising:
- forming at least one metal ring having a gap;
- fixing a chip and an antenna to the at least one metal ring,
- wherein the chip is configured to provide a near field communication with an external device using the antenna, and
- wherein the gap is an isolation gap configured to reduce induction of eddy currents in the at least one ring.
