A newly sighted patent from Samsung has just offered us a look into how we might interact with our gadgets through smart rings. Typically, a smart ring is just a seamless health tracking device that blends fashion and technology. But Samsung’s future Galaxy Ring might also have it work as an input device to control other gadgets.
Samsung Galaxy Ring with gesture input might be a game-changer
The South Korean tech giant filed a patent with WIPO showcasing a smart ring that can control other devices. At the moment, Samsung only has one smart ring under its belt, with the Galaxy Ring 2 reportedly being in development. The original Galaxy Ring could track your heart rate, sleep, and other biometrics and send the info to the connected smartphone in the Samsung Health app.
This is a great way of keeping track of your health, which suits those who do not prefer a smartwatch. However, the patent hints that Samsung might be bringing additional functionality to this formula soon. The patent description and sketches show a smart ring user interacting with other connected devices wireless. It appears that this future Galaxy Ring can communicate between two devices, with the sketches showing a laptop and a tablet.
The patented smart ring can be seen as capable of moving things from one display to another. This functions similar to Apple’s connected ecosystem. Samsung’s S Pen also offered similar functionality, but this appears to be more seamless, especially thanks to the intuitive design of the Galaxy Ring. It is unclear if the brand is actually working on such a product or is just covering all bases but this does appear to be the next step in Galaxy Ring’s evolution.
