Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for operating a wearable device are described. The wearable device may include a flexible inner body in the form of an open-ended ring that includes a first end that is movable relative to a second end such that an inner circumference of the inner body is expandable. The wearable device may include a flexible circuit board disposed concentrically around an outer circumference of the inner body and in the form of an open-ended ring. And the wearable device may include a flexible outer clip disposed concentrically around the flexible circuit board and in the form of an open-ended ring. The outer clip may be configured to provide a compressive force on the flexible circuit board and the outer circumference of the inner body.

A wearable ring device, comprising:
- a flexible inner body in the form of a first open-ended ring comprising a first end that is movable relative to a second end such that an inner circumference of the flexible inner body is expandable;
- a flexible circuit board disposed concentrically around an outer circumference of the flexible inner body and in the form of a second open-ended ring;
- and
- a flexible outer clip disposed concentrically around the flexible circuit board and in the form of a third open-ended ring, the flexible outer clip configured to provide a compressive force on the flexible circuit board and the outer circumference of the flexible inner body, wherein a first opening of the first open-ended ring is radially offset from a second opening of the third open-ended ring.
A wearable ring device, comprising:
- a flexible inner body in the form of an open-ended ring comprising a first end that is movable relative to a second end such that an inner circumference of the flexible inner body is expandable;
- a flexible circuit board disposed concentrically around an outer circumference of the flexible inner body and in the form of an open-ended ring;
- a battery disposed between a flexible outer clip and the flexible circuit board, wherein the battery comprises one or more electrical contacts that connect with one or more electrical contacts of the flexible circuit board when the battery is detachably coupled with the wearable ring device;
- and
- the flexible outer clip disposed concentrically around the flexible circuit board and in the form of an open-ended ring, the flexible outer clip configured to provide a compressive force on the flexible circuit board and the outer circumference of the flexible inner body.
A wearable ring device, comprising:
- a flexible inner body in the form of an open-ended ring comprising a first end that is movable relative to a second end such that an inner circumference of the flexible inner body is expandable;
- a flexible circuit board disposed concentrically around an outer circumference of the flexible inner body and in the form of an open-ended ring;
- a light-emitting component coupled with the flexible circuit board, wherein at least a portion of the flexible inner body comprises a transparent material such that light from the light-emitting component passes through the at least portion of the flexible inner body;
- and
- a flexible outer clip disposed concentrically around the flexible circuit board and in the form of an open-ended ring, the flexible outer clip configured to provide a compressive force on the flexible circuit board and the outer circumference of the flexible inner body.
