Abstract
A ring can include a housing. The housing can include a first power source configured to be charged by a second power source removably positioned adjacent to the housing. The housing also can include a component. The component can be configured to draw energy from the first power source. The component also can sense a physical phenomenon external to the housing. The component further can send communication signals to a communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A ring comprising:
- a housing, comprising:
- a first power source configured to be charged by a second power source wherein:
- the second power source is removably positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the housing to charge the first power source;
- and
- the inner surface of the housing is configured to contact a finger of a user who wears the ring;
- and
- a component configured to:
- draw energy from the first power source and perform at least one of:
- sense a physical phenomenon external to the housing;
- or
- send communication signals to a communication device.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computing instructions that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- transferring energy to a first power source disposed within a housing of a ring from a second power source, wherein:
- the second power source is removably positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the housing to charge the first power source;
- and
- the inner surface of the housing is configured to contact a finger of a user who wears the ring;
- drawing energy from the first power source by a component of the housing;
- and
- performing, by the component, at least one of:
- sensing a physical phenomenon external to the housing;
- or
- sending communication signals to a communication device.
A method of operating a ring comprising:
- transferring energy to a first power source disposed within a housing of the ring from a second power source, wherein:
- the second power source is removably positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the housing to charge the first power source;
- and
- the inner surface of the housing is configured to contact a finger of a user who wears the ring;
- drawing energy from the first power source by a component of the housing;
- and
- performing, by the component, at least one of:
- sensing a physical phenomenon external to the housing;
- or
- sending communication signals to a communication device.
