Application: Haptic ring (Patent ID: US20240103626A1)
The patent filed by Meta Platforms Inc. describes an apparatus that includes a wearable haptic ring with input capabilities for a computing system. The ring is designed to curve around a human finger and features a touchpad seamlessly integrated with the ring, allowing for user input by another finger of the wearer. Additionally, the haptic ring includes a haptic feedback unit to provide tactile feedback in response to user input, enabling a wide range of inputs while maintaining the appearance of a typical ring rather than a traditional computer input/output device.
The apparatus further includes a touchpad that curves along with the ring around the finger, presenting a smooth and unified surface for user interaction. The touchpad is implemented on a flexible printed circuit board that flexes around the curvature of the ring, with the haptic feedback unit positioned beneath it. The ring may also incorporate additional components such as a magnetometer and a shield to protect sensitive data. Overall, the apparatus allows for intuitive user inputs through the touchpad while maintaining a discreet and aesthetically pleasing design as a wearable haptic ring.
