Abstract
A finger-worn wearable ring device may include a ring-shaped housing, a printed circuit board, and a sensor module that includes one or more light-emitting components and one or more light-receiving components. The wearable ring device may further include a communication module configured to wirelessly communicate with an application executable on a user device.
Claims20
A finger-worn wearable ring device, comprising:
- a housing comprising an external housing and an internal potting, the external housing and the internal potting having an outer curved surface and an inner curved surface of the finger-worn wearable ring device, respectively;
- a printed circuit board disposed at least partially within the housing;
- a curved battery positioned within a curved portion of the housing;
- a plurality of sensors configured to acquire data from a user to monitor at least one of physical activity, sleep, or health of the user, wherein the plurality of sensors comprise:
- one or more light-emitting components configured to emit light through the internal potting into a tissue of the user;
- one or more light-receiving components configured to receive the light transmitted by the one or more light-emitting components through the internal potting;
- and
- a galvanic sensor disposed at least partially within the housing, the galvanic sensor configured to contact the tissue of the user to perform skin response measurements of the tissue;
- one or more processors configured to process the data acquired by the plurality of sensors, the data based at least in part on the light received by the one or more light-receiving components and the skin response measurements performed by the galvanic sensor;
- and
- a communication module communicatively coupled with the one or more processors, the communication module configured to transmit the data to a user device.

A wearable computing device, comprising:
- a housing having an external surface and an interior surface of the wearable computing device, wherein at least a portion of the interior surface is configured to contact a tissue of a user;
- a printed circuit board disposed at least partially within the housing;
- a plurality of sensors configured to acquire data from a user to monitor at least one of physical activity, sleep, or health of the user, wherein the plurality of sensors comprise:
- one or more light-emitting components configured to emit light through the interior surface into a tissue of the user;
- one or more light-receiving components configured to receive the light transmitted by the one or more light-emitting components through the tissue of the user;
- and
- a galvanic sensor disposed at least partially within the housing, the galvanic sensor configured to contact the tissue of the user to perform skin response measurements of the tissue;
- one or more processors configured to process the data acquired by the plurality of sensors, the data based at least in part on the light received by the one or more light-receiving components and the skin response measurements performed by the galvanic sensor;
- and
- a communication module communicatively coupled with the one or more processors, the communication module configured to transmit the data to a user device.

A finger-worn wearable ring device, comprising:
- a housing having an interior width between 12 mm and 24 mm and an exterior width between 18 mm and 30 mm for at least a portion of the finger-worn wearable ring device, the housing comprising:
- an external housing having an external curved surface of the finger-worn wearable ring device;
- and
- an internal housing formed of one or both of potting material or metallic material, the internal housing having an internal curved surface of the finger-worn wearable ring device, wherein at least a portion of the internal curved surface is configured to contact a tissue of a user;
- a printed circuit board disposed at least partially within the housing;
- a curved battery positioned within a curved portion of the housing, the curved portion of the housing comprising a thickness between 1.5 mm and 3 mm, the thickness of the curved portion of the housing measured between the external curved surface and the internal curved surface of the finger-worn wearable ring device;
- and
- a plurality of sensors configured to acquire data from a user to monitor at least one of physical activity, sleep, or health of the user, wherein the plurality of sensors comprise:
- one or more light-emitting components configured to emit light through the internal housing into a tissue of the user;
- one or more light-receiving components configured to receive the light transmitted by the one or more light-emitting components through the internal housing;
- and
- a galvanic sensor disposed at least partially within the housing, the galvanic sensor configured to contact the tissue of the user to perform skin response measurements of the tissue.
