SMART RING POWER AND CHARGING
A charging system can include a removable power source housing. The removable power source housing can be devoid of being worn on a finger of a user. The removable power source housing can include a first LED activated in response to a first activity at the removable power source housing. The removable power source housing can include a second LED activated in response to a second activity at the removable power source housing. The second activity can be different from the first activity. The removable power source housing can include a third LED activated in response to a third activity at the removable power source housing. The third activity can be different from the first activity and the second activity. The charging system also can include a ring housing. The ring housing can be configured to be removably coupled to the removable power source housing. Other embodiments are disclosed.
1 . A charging system comprising:
a removable power source housing devoid of being worn on a finger of a user, the removable power source comprising:

a third LED activated in response to a third activity at the removable power source housing, wherein the third activity is different from the first activity and the second activity; and
a ring housing configured to be removably coupled to the removable power source housing, comprising:
an inner surface configured to contact the finger of the user when the ring housing is worn by the user; and
an internal power source configured to be wirelessly charged by the removable power source housing.
2 . The charging system of claim 1 , wherein:
the removable power source comprises a removable external power source.
3 . The charging system of claim 1 , further comprising:
an adapter to facilitate removable attachment between the housing and the removable power source.
4 . The charging system of claim 1 , wherein:
the removable power source housing comprises an electrical charger configured to inductively transfer power to the internal power source.
5 . The charging system of claim 1 , wherein:
the removable power source housing is integrated into an object in an environment of the user.
6 . The charging system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a controller configured to detect a presence of the ring housing at the removable power source housing.
7 . The charging system of claim 1 , wherein:
the ring housing is configured to operate in a power mode based on a presence of the removable power source housing adjacent to the ring housing.
8 . The charging system of claim 1 , wherein:
one or more of the first activity, the second activity, or the third activity comprises a presence of the removable power source housing adjacent to the ring housing.
9 . A method of providing a charging system, comprising:
providing a removable power source housing devoid of being worn on a finger of a user, comprising:
providing a first LED activated in response to a first activity at the removable power source housing;
providing a second LED activated in response to a second activity at the removable power source housing, wherein the second activity is different from the first activity; and
providing a third LED activated in response to a third activity at the removable power source housing, wherein the third activity is different from the first activity and the second activity; and
providing a ring housing configured to be removably coupled to the removable power source housing, comprising:
providing an inner surface configured to contact the finger of the user when the ring housing is worn by the user; and
providing an internal power source configured to be wirelessly charged by the removable power source housing.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein:
the removable power source comprises a removable external power source.
11 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
an adapter to facilitate removable attachment between the housing and the removable power source.
12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein:
the removable power source housing is an electrical charger configured to inductively transfer power to the internal power source.
13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein:
the removable power source housing is integrated into an object in an environment of the user.
14 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
providing a controller configured to detect a presence of the ring housing at the removable power source housing.
15 . The method of claim 9 , wherein:
the ring housing is configured to operate in a power mode based on a presence of the removable power source adjacent to the ring housing.
16 . A method performed by a charging system, the method comprising:
collecting data from a person wearing a ring housing, comprising:
contacting a finger of a user with an inner surface of the ring housing; and
wirelessly charging an internal power source by a removable power source housing in one or more power modes; and
charging the internal power source, comprising removably coupling the ring to the removable power source housing, comprising:
activating a first LED in response to a first activity at the removable power source;
activating a second LED in response to a second activity at the removable power source, wherein the second activity is different from the first activity; and
activating a third LED in response to a third activity at the removable power source housing, wherein the third activity is different from the first activity and the second activity.
17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
detecting less than a threshold power available during charging; and
operating the ring housing in a low-power mode.
18 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
detecting a presence of the removable power source housing; and
operating the ring housing in a high-power mode.
19 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
detecting a presence of the removable power source housing; and
switching from a low-power mode to a high-power mode.
20 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
integrating the removable power source housing into an object in an environment of the user.
