Samsung Smart Ring Revealed by Patent



Samsung is going to lauch a smart ring that  would allow you to control various smartphone, TV and home automation system features directly from your finger.






Rotating the ring left or right can trigger predefined functions and if you have a screen on hand (e.g. your smartphone), the ring can be used to navigate more complex menus offering more functions. The Samsung Gear S2 has a rotating bezel, the smart ring will have functionality based on that.

Other Companies like - Microsoft is thinking of a ring that recognizes gestures (e.g. sliding your finger over some surface) instead of rotation. Google sees the ring as a controller for Glass (what the Wiimote is to the Wii). Apple just wants a smaller Watch.
