Abstract
A smart ring charging system comprises a charging source integrated into an object, the object configured to be held by a user wearing a smart ring. The smart ring may include a ring-shaped housing and a power source disposed within or at the ring-shaped housing and configured to receive energy from the charging source while the user is wearing the smart ring and holding the object. A controller may be disposed within or at the ring-shaped housing, or at the object with the charger and configured to estimate a charging rate at which the power source receives the energy from the charging source. The system may further include one or more indicators configured to indicate the charging rate.
Claims20
A smart ring comprising:
- a ring-shaped housing;
- a power source disposed within or at the ring-shaped housing and configured to receive energy from a charging source;
- a controller disposed within or at the ring-shaped housing and configured to estimate a charging rate at which the power source receives the energy from the charging source;
- and
- one or more input/output (I/O) components including a user interface disposed within or at the ring-shaped housing and configured to indicate when the charging rate is above a threshold.
A method for charging a smart ring comprising:
- receiving, by a power source disposed within a smart ring, energy transmitted by a charging source;
- detecting, by a controller disposed within the smart ring, that a charging rate at which the power source is receiving the energy from the charging source is above a threshold;
- and
- indicating, by a user interface, the charging rate in response to detecting that the charging rate is above the threshold.
