Abstract

A ring can include a housing. The housing can include a first power source configured to be charged by a second power source removably positioned adjacent to the housing. The housing also can include a component. The component can be configured to draw energy from the first power source. The component also can sense a physical phenomenon external to the housing. The component further can send communication signals to a communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claims (66)

1. A ring comprising:

a housing, comprising:

a first power source configured to be charged by a second power source wherein:

the second power source is removably positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the housing to charge the first power source; and

the inner surface of the housing is configured to contact a finger of a user who wears the ring; and

a component configured to:

draw energy from the first power source and perform at least one of:

sense a physical phenomenon external to the housing; or

send communication signals to a communication device.

2. The ring of claim 1 , wherein:

the housing comprises the communication device.

3. The ring of claim 1 , wherein:

the communication device is a device separate from the ring.

4. The ring of claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises:

a sensor configured to detect whether the second power source is charging the first power source.

5. The ring of claim 1 , wherein:

the first power source is charged without removing the housing from the finger of the user.

6. The ring of claim 1 , wherein:

the physical phenomenon external to the housing is a physiological state of the user wearing the ring.

7. The ring of claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises:

a sensor configured to:

sense a trigger to cause an action on the communication device; and

send a communication signal to the communication device.

8. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computing instructions that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

transferring energy to a first power source disposed within a housing of a ring from a second power source, wherein:

the second power source is removably positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the housing to charge the first power source; and

the inner surface of the housing is configured to contact a finger of a user who wears the ring;

drawing energy from the first power source by a component of the housing; and

performing, by the component, at least one of:

sensing a physical phenomenon external to the housing; or

sending communication signals to a communication device.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein:

the housing comprises the communication device.

10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein:

the communication device is separate from the ring.

11. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the housing further comprises:

a sensor configured to detect whether the second power source is charging the first power source.

12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein:

the first power source is charged without removing the housing from the finger of the user.

13. The ring of claim 8 , wherein:

the physical phenomenon external to the housing is a physiological state of the user wearing the ring.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the housing further comprises:

a sensor configured to:

sense a trigger to cause an action on the communication device; and

send a communication signal to the communication device.

15. A method of operating a ring comprising:

transferring energy to a first power source disposed within a housing of the ring from a second power source, wherein:

the second power source is removably positioned adjacent to an inner surface of the housing to charge the first power source; and

the inner surface of the housing is configured to contact a finger of a user who wears the ring;

drawing energy from the first power source by a component of the housing; and

performing, by the component, at least one of:

sensing a physical phenomenon external to the housing; or

sending communication signals to a communication device.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein:

the housing comprises the communication device.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein:

the communication device is separate from the ring.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the housing further comprises:

a sensor configured to detect whether the second power source is charging the first power source.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein at least one of:

the first power source is charged without removing the housing from the finger of the user; or

the physical phenomenon external to the housing is a physiological state of the user wearing the ring.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the housing further comprises:

a sensor configured to:

sense a trigger to cause an action on the communication device; and

send a communication signal to the communication device.
