6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive, via the communication module, the data from a mobile device associated with the driver of the vehicle.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise a biometric sensor, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive biometric information of the user of the smart ring device collected by the biometric sensor; and

analyze the biometric information to determine the identification of the user of the smart ring device.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit, via the communication module, the biometric information to a mobile device associated with the driver of the vehicle.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the emitted light is receivable by an external system configured to identify the user by detecting the emitted light according to the specific pattern and to grant a permission to the user.

10. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a user input unit communicatively coupled to the processor;

wherein the processor is further configured to present the information indicative of the identified one or more driving conditions within a selected portion of the LED display in response to receiving, via the user input unit, a user input indicating a selection of the selected portion.

11. A method of displaying information indicative of driving conditions to a driver via a smart ring device comprising:

receiving, by a processor disposed in a ring band of the smart ring device configured to be worn by the driver of a vehicle, data from:

a communication module disposed within the ring band, or

one or more sensors disposed within the ring band;

analyzing, by the processor, the data to identify one or more driving conditions;

displaying information indicative of the identified one or more driving conditions via a light emitting diode (LED) display disposed on at least one of a plurality of surfaces of the ring band, wherein the plurality of surfaces includes an inner surface, an outer surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface;

receiving an identification of the driver; and

activating the LED display in a specific pattern to emit light, the specific pattern being associated with the identification of the driver.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the LED display comprises an LED array.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

causing the LED display to present a first color for a first driving condition; and

causing the LED display to present a second color for a second driving condition different from the first driving condition, the second color being different from the first color.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the displaying information indicative of the identified one or more driving conditions comprises displaying the information via the LED display in a plurality of frames.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the information indicative of the identified one or more driving conditions includes at least one selected from a group consisting of a speed of the vehicle, an acceleration of the vehicle, a current weather condition, a sleepiness condition of the driver, a cognoscente condition of the driver, an operational status of the vehicle, an inebriation condition of the driver, or biometric information of a wearer of the smart ring device.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the receiving the data comprises receiving the data, via the communication module, from a mobile device that is associated with the driver of the vehicle.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise a biometric sensor, the method further comprising:

receiving biometric information of the driver collected by the biometric sensor; and

analyzing the biometric information to determine the identification of the driver.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

transmitting, via the communication module, the biometric information to a mobile device associated with the driver.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the emitted light is receivable by an external system configured to identify the driver by detecting the emitted light according to the specific pattern and to grant a permission to the driver.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the displaying the information indicative of the identified one or more driving conditions comprises:

displaying the information within a selected portion of the LED display in response to receiving a user input indicating a selection of the selected portion.
