Patent for a smart ring controlling Apple devices
The latest patent discovered by Patently Apple describes a device that “operates independently and performs health monitoring operations”This data may or may not be shared with other devices, most likely with the iPhone for monitoring purposes or with devices belonging to a doctor treating a patient for certain conditions.
What is striking is that The system implemented in the ring could collect information from the user himself and that in turn would give him the power to control the operation of one or more devices.The patent cites the following example:
A user may provide input to a device that causes one or more additional devices to perform particular actions(…). Provide touch, gesture, force, or button press input with a device that is used to control content displayed on a screen(…).
Finally, The patent emphasizes an illustration of a head-mounted deviceThis means that the ring could be used and connected to Apple glasses or any helmet or case that is designed for the user’s head.

Apple’s ring would not only be focused on health
Apple may have changed the focus of its smart ring a bit. According to the patent, the ring would allow for more precise control of what a user does. For example, if it incorporates a GPS, it would be possible to know the user’s three-dimensional position within a place, as well as their orientation and movement.
The patent would also open up the possibility that Apple is looking to innovate the devices we could wear on our heads. Considering that Apple Vision Pro is one of the brand’s most expensive product lines, why not consider an initial line of affordable products with cutting-edge technology?
