Abstract
A ring includes a controller. The ring can also include a power source configured to power the controller. The ring further can include a charging unit. The charging unit can be configured to convert a first form of energy into a second form of energy. The charging unit also can be coupled to the power source to provide the second form of energy to the power source. The controller can execute instructions to control operation of a user interface. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A ring, comprising:
- a controller;
- a power source configured to power the controller;
- and
- a charging unit configured to convert a first form of energy from motion into a second form of energy, wherein the charging unit is coupled to the power source to provide the second form of energy to the power source,
- wherein the controller executes instructions to control operation of a user interface.
2 more elements
A method for charging a ring, comprising:
- providing, by a power source, energy to a controller;
- converting, by a charging unit, a first form of energy from motion into a second form of energy, wherein the charging unit is coupled to the power source;
- providing, by the charging unit, the second form of energy to the power source;
