The first version of the Galaxy Ring is quite good at tracking sleep time, sleep time and many other sleep metrics. It also tracks blood oxygen levels, skin temperature, breathing and heart rate during sleep, providing a more comprehensive assessment of sleep quality.
However, many people prefer the ability to measure body temperature according to requirements rather than relying solely on automatic monitoring. Samsung is currently developing a new ring design that can make this a reality.
A recent patent submitted by Samsung to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) details how the temperature sensor of the ring is positioned on the inside, in direct contact with the wearer's finger. The device also includes motion sensors, such as accelerators and rotaryctors, which allow tracking the movement of the fingers and hands.
This feature also allows the ring to identify specific gestures, such as bringing it close to an object or another person, which can activate the temperature measurement phep. Technology on Samsung's new smart ring can also track blood flow based on the color of the ring.
In theory, Samsung's new invention will allow the smart ring to distinguish between the user's skin temperature and the temperature of the surface, preventing confusion between body temperature and environmental indicators.
This distinction is essential to ensure accurate measurements, especially when checking the temperature of another person or object. According to the patent, the ring can provide notification through image, sound or emotions, and is capable of warning users if they discover unusual temperature indicators.
Previously, according to Phone Arena, Samsung had new updates to the Galaxy Ring 2. Samsung's smart ring can act as a link between utilities, such as laptops and tablets, allowing users to control the screen and move content between them seamlessly.
