Apple Smart Ring: Recently Granted Patent
Apple is working on a special ring that you can wear on your finger. This ring can control other devices by touching it and pressing on it. It can also give you special vibrations to let you know when you have a notification. Apple has been working on this ring for a long time and even made a special application for it.
The US Patent Office recently gave a special paper to Apple that says they have the rights to a new invention. The invention is a special ring that you can wear on your finger. This ring can sense how hard you press on it and use that to control things, like a computer or a phone. The people who made this invention are named Michael, Richard, Filip, Jean, and Thayne.
Apple has come up with special rings that can talk to other devices without getting in the way. You can wear them on your finger, wrist, ear, or even your toe! They use a wireless connection to talk to other devices and are really small and easy to wear every day.
This special device can connect to a phone and send a message to the person wearing it by making their finger feel a little vibration. The person can then use the device to do things with their phone, like control it or listen to music with headphones. They can even use it with computers and tablets too.
In the picture, there are different drawings that show a special ring. One part of the ring can spin around, and there is a special system inside it called the electronic jewel system. The other part of the ring doesn't move and has some small pads on it. When you use the ring, these parts work together to figure out what you are doing.
Apple has been working on making smaller devices that you can wear, like rings. They have also been trying to make a way for you to control other Apple devices, like virtual reality headsets, using these wearable devices. They even applied for a patent for this in 2021.
Apple likes to come up with lots of different ideas for new things they could make. But just because they have an idea and apply for a patent doesn't mean they will actually make the thing. Sometimes they might use the ideas in other products, or they might not use them at all. We don't know for sure what Apple will do with these ideas.
