A ring device includes a printed circuit board with an upper surface, a lower surface opposite the upper surface, and a side surface extending from an edge of the upper surface to an edge of the lower surface. First and second antenna patterns are formed on respective first and second parts of the side surface. At least one sensor is disposed on the printed circuit board, and at least one processor is operatively coupled to the first antenna pattern, the second antenna pattern, and the sensor. The processor is configured to determine an orientation of the ring device using the at least one sensor and control the ring device to transmit and/or receive a radio frequency (RF) signal using any one of the first antenna pattern and the second antenna pattern, based on the determined orientation.
A ring device comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs including one or more instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, individually and/or collectively, of a ring device with a first antenna pattern facing a fingernail or a wrist of a user wearing the ring device, a second antenna pattern facing the wrist or the fingernail of the user wearing the ring device, and at least one sensor, cause the ring device to:
