To measure the temperature of things as well as other beings, a future version of Samsung’s Galaxy Ring could bring innovative functionalities other than just measuring the body temperature of the user.
The Galaxy Ring promises excellent sleep tracking capabilities, covering measurement criteria such as duration, and timing, plus a sleep score calculated from several metrics or weightings. At night, it continuously monitors blood oxygen levels, skin temperature, respiratory rate, and heart rate to provide a total assessment of sleep quality.
However, many people desire the capability to check their body temperature manually rather than using automatic readings. In response, Samsung seems to come up with a new ring shape that could address this request.
A new patent application filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) reveals that the temperature sensor will be mounted on the ring’s inner surface, making it fit perfectly against the finger of the wearer. It will also come complete with motion sensors such as an accelerometer and gyroscope for recording hand and finger movements.
This function makes it possible for the ring to identify specific gestures, such as bringing the ring close to an object or another person, which would register the temperature measurement function. In addition, this capability may be complemented by the ring’s photonic technology for blood flow reading.
Recently, we provided some news about the Galaxy Ring 2 that includes yet another patent hinting at the possibility of future Samsung smart rings to connect with other devices. It will act as an interface between devices like laptops and tablets and their displays to simply control them and enable content transfer as well.
Considering the emerging design, it will be expected to accurately differentiate the internal temperature of the body from external objects so as to avoid misreading that could arise from the ambient factors surrounding the body.
