According to an Apple patent just issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Γραφείο Διπλωμάτων Ευρεσιτεχνίας και Εμπορικών Σημάτων των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών), η Apple πιθανά εργάζεται σε μια συσκευή σε μέγεθος δακτυλιδιού, την Apple Ring, που θα επιτρέπει στους χρήστες να ελέγχουν άλλες ηλεκτρονικές Appliances using a touch screen that will be placed in the center of the ring.
"A user θα ελέγχει μία external ηλεκτρονική συσκευή με μία οθόνη αφής η οποία θα είναι τοποθετημένη σε ένα δακτυλίδι που θα περιλαμβάνει έναν επεξεργαστή υπολογιστή, ασύρματο πομποδέκτη, και μία επαναφορτιζόμενη πηγή τροφοδοσίας” περιγράφεται στο δίπλωμα ευρεσιτεχνίας το “Apple Ring".
In addition, the patent "Instruments and Methods for a Ring Computer Device"Reveals that a future" Apple Ring "may also include a microphone that will allow the user to control using voice commands, a tiny Siri that may be included.
Another way you might use the "Apple Ring" would be to write using gestures with the help of a built-in motion sensor and a wireless transceiver that transmits the characters to a reliable device.
As a whole, the patent describes a ring with its own processor and a plurality of sensors, ranging from biometric sensors to monitor pulse and heart rate of the user, pressure and sweat (sweat sensor), as well as a fingerprint reader .
The "Devices and Methods for a Ring Computing Device" patent was filed in April 2015. Marcel van Os and Marcos Regis Vescovi are cited as the inventors of the device and Apple Inc. as the patent applicant.
