India's smart wearable brand BoAt announced a smart ring product last month, which is officially launched in India. The smart ring, called BoAt Ring, is priced at Rs 8,999 and not only has the health and sports functions of an ordinary smart watch, but also has some special abilities.
The BoAt Ring features one-handed operation, allowing you to control various functions with just a touch or swipe of the ring. For example, users can control music playback, pause, switch songs, etc. through BoAt Ring. You can also remotely control the shutter of the mobile phone camera. In addition, users can browse some short video applications through BoAt Ring, but it is unclear which applications and operations are supported.
BoAt Ring also has basic health monitoring functions, which can measure heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, sleep quality and body temperature, etc. It can also monitor steps, calorie consumption and exercise mode. In an emergency, BoAt Ring can also trigger an SOS emergency call.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office previously published a patent application from Apple that involves the use of a single or multiple smart rings to control various aspects of the user interface. The Apple Vision Pro uses eye-tracking and cameras to monitor the air gestures of the user's fingers to control visionOS, just like a mouse uses a Mac, and the ring patent has a clear alternative use, which can be used with other devices (such as Apple TV, Mac), etc.
Apple notes that skin contact/gesture input from a digital signal processor (DSP) can be used by a computer program to perform actions. These actions include, but are not limited to, moving objects (such as a cursor or pointer), scrolling or panning, adjusting control settings, opening files or documents, viewing menus, making selections, executing commands, operating peripherals connected to a host device, answering calls, making phone calls, terminate phone calls, change volume or audio settings, store information related to phone communications such as addresses, frequently dialed numbers, receive calls, miss calls, log into a computer or computer network, allow authorized individuals to access a computer or computer network restricting areas, loading user profiles related to the user's preferred desktop computer arrangement, allowing access to web content, launching certain programs, encrypting or decoding messages and/or the like.
The controller can also be communicatively coupled to a wireless transmitter or transceiver to send and receive data and other information wirelessly. In some examples, wireless transmitters or transceivers can communicate wirelessly with HMDs such as desktop, laptop, and tablet computing devices, smartphones, smart home control and entertainment devices, headphones, AirPods, and smart glasses.
