Those from Cupertino continue to advance in the development of their smart ring, one of the most recent would allow them to establish voice communication to interact with Siri
Following the release of Samsung’s smart ring, Those in Cupertino seem interested in having one and this is evident from the recently granted patents.. The last one is surprising because it describes the use of multiple ringtones and the potential use of Siri. The latest patents describe uses related to health and fitness tracking, input devices to control Apple products in general, from the iPhone to the Apple Vision Pro or future mixed reality glasses. What else could multiple Apple Rings be used for?
Apple wants to put a ring on our finger and not exactly a wedding ring
According to recently released patent information (via Patently Apple), reference is made to a smart ring that includes “near field communication circuits”. One part would record health-related actions, such as taking medication. There is also reference to hand gestures such as simply pointing in a direction and recognizing other devices to control them.
The user uses the smart ring to record the location of an electronic device
The most interesting thing is that Apple wants us to do different activities and log them using more rings. The concrete example is that one of them can detect our voice and other sounds in such a way that it can know and establish an operating context, in addition to another ring that can communicate with the first and generate “a map of the locations of the different “devices” to be controlled in different ways.
Various Apple Rings for Different Uses
One of the ringtones would detect our voice in such a way that we could speak directly to Siri and it would most likely be through a device like the iPhone. The idea that Apple has directly is to have multiple rings because few sensors or components could be implemented to achieve its goals. Can you imagine wearing a ring on each finger of your hand?
Talk to a ringtone instead of a mobile device
Those in Cupertino, for the moment, They do not give us a broader perspective of use in terms of specific cases and how the rings might be used.. We assume this will happen when they are ready to make them public. It is hard to imagine that a user would want to buy multiple rings to have different functions.Here Apple would have to justify why and it could surely put them on sale in packages like it does with AirTags.
An Apple ring that could control one or more devices
What’s interesting about this new patent is the use that could be given to Siri.. With the upcoming changes for the smart assistant, It would make sense that Apple would want to have a faster communication system via the ring.. In addition to detecting our voice, with a simple gesture we could invoke it and talk to it when we know it is already listening to us. Likewise, it would be a good approach in terms of health care for users who are not interested in an Apple Watch. Let us remember that the Apple smartwatch is one of the best products for this last objective.
