Apple owns several patents for wearable fitness accessories. It can therefore be assumed that perhaps over time some form of alternative to Apple Watch will arrive. This accessory also includes a smart ring. There were a number of patents related to smart rings filed by the apple giant. Apple in the new patent, however, he deals with the possibility of how the device could work even in a situation where it is not directly put on the finger, but on other parts of the body.
The patent is entitled "Electronic system with ring device". In this application Apple for example, he works with the controls located on the side of the device. It is also stated that it should be a ring-shaped device that can be worn on parts of the body such as the wrist, arm, leg, ankle, head, etc. Of course, it is difficult to imagine a smart device that can be put on the leg. Apple tries to make the patent cover the widest possible range of devices. The patent further states that since the ring device is one that can be worn all day, it is immediately available to the user, which can facilitate the wearer's interaction with the environment. For example, the ring device is placed on the side of the NFT tag, and a web page is loaded on the iPhone. The presence of a whole range of health sensors should then be a matter of course. As usual, it should be mentioned that this is only a patent (in this case even a very broad one), which Apple may never come to life. You can see the graphic form of the patent below the paragraph.
