Abstract
A ring includes an inner surface configured to contact a finger of a user when the ring is worn by the user. The ring can include a first power source configured to be wirelessly charged by a second power source that is (i) removably coupled along a circumference of the inner surface of the ring, and (ii) disposed at an outer surface of the ring. The ring also can include a sensor configured to draw energy from the first power source and sense an activity of the user wearing the ring.
Claims20
A ring comprising:
- an inner surface configured to contact a finger of a user when the ring is worn by the user;
- a first power source configured to be wirelessly charged by a second power source that is (i) removably coupled along a circumference of the inner surface of the ring, and (ii) disposed at an outer surface of the ring;
- and a sensor configured to draw energy from the first power source and sense an activity of the user wearing the ring;
- wherein:
- the ring is configured to send data to a communication device;
- and the communication device comprises one or more of:
- a wearable device, a mobile device, a secure access panel, a recreational accessory, or a vehicle interface, each of which are separate from the ring.
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:
- wirelessly transferring energy to a first power source disposed within a ring from a second power source that is (i) removably coupled along a circumference of an inner surface of the ring, and (ii) disposed at an outer surface of the ring;
- and performing, by a sensor, sensing an activity of a user wearing the ring, wherein:
- the ring is configured to send data to a communication device;
- and the communication device comprises one or more of:
- a wearable device, a mobile device, a secure access panel, a recreational accessory, or a vehicle interface, each of which are separate from the ring.
A method of operating a ring, comprising:
- wirelessly transferring energy to a first power source disposed within the ring from a second power source that is (i) removably coupled along a circumference of an inner surface of the ring, and (ii) disposed at an outer surface of the ring;
- drawing the energy from the first power source by a sensor of the ring;
- and sensing an activity of a user wearing the ring, wherein:
- the ring is configured to send data to a communication device;
- and the communication device comprises one or more of:
- a wearable device, a mobile device, a secure access panel, a recreational accessory, or a vehicle interface, each of which are separate from the ring.
A ring comprising:
- a first power source configured to be charged by a second power source, wherein:
- the second power source is (i) removably coupled along a circumference of an inner surface of the ring, and (ii) disposed at an outer surface of the ring;
- and a sensor configured to draw energy from the first power source and sense an activity of a user wearing the ring, wherein:
- the outer surface of the ring is opposite to the inner surface of the ring, and wherein:
- the ring is configured to send data to a communication device;
- and the communication device comprises one or more of:
- a wearable device, a mobile device, a secure access panel, a recreational accessory, or a vehicle interface, each of which are separate from the ring.
