- A new patent revealed that Samsung is working on a unique upgrade to his intelligent ring
- A future galaxy ring could have a new type of integrated temperature sensor
- He would use motion sensors to determine what you measure
The Samsung Galaxy Ring is the best intelligent ring thanks to its excellent health monitoring features, but the company is already working on future upgrades, including a temperature sensor that could detect what you are trying to measure when you touch it.
A new patent unearthed by 91 Mobiles reveals that the company is developing a new type of temperature sensor that would rest on the inside of the ring, and could be used to take the temperature of various surfaces – at least, determine when you maintain something that affects the reading of the ring temperature, such as hot coffee.
The Galaxy ring already has an integrated temperature sensor to measure the internal body temperature, a useful characteristic that helps power the predictions of the menstrual cycle. However, this new patent reveals an external probe that could be useful for measuring other things.
According to the patent, a motion sensor could detect movement and help establish what you are trying to measure. Depending on how you have moved, the ring can identify what you are trying to measure and would be able to distinguish between your own skin temperature and the temperature of another person or an object. The patent also includes visual, audio or tactile alerts that could inform you of an abnormal reading.
What could the new Samsung Smart Ring patent mean?
Some patent images indicate certain use cases. In particular, he shows an intelligent ring pressed against a cup of coffee, which may indicate that you can use a future galaxy ring to check the temperature of a drink to make sure that it is sure to drink (or hot enough to deserve the penalty of being drunk.)
Elsewhere, the images reveal that the ring pressed on the front of a child, showing that the functionality could be used to take temperature readings to check the fever in young children.
It is a very new idea which is surely in the years, but also suggests the future inclusion of haptic feedback in the Galaxy ring, or perhaps even a display.
The company has also patented intelligent gestures on a ring that would allow you to control your laptop or tablet like Tony Stark, as well as a technology for an interior adjustable band that would eliminate dimensioning problems.
As indicated, these are just patents, so don’t expect you to appear in the Galaxy Ring 2, which could be launched this year.
