According to the patent, the smart ring consists of three different sections\u2014a ring, a holder, and the electronics\u2014all covered by what appears to be a dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The electronic components are placed in the ring, but they can be removed at any time.<\/strong> By making the hardware modular, the patent claims that the ring section will be thinner and lighter, making it more comfortable and suitable to wear with other rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, the illustrations accompanying the patent show some protrusions that likely conceal the smart ring&#8217;s sensors on the top part of the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Oppo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Oppo<\/a> has filed a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/patent?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#patent<\/a> for a modular <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/smartring?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#smartring<\/a>, ensuring it&#39;s unlike any other high-tech ring we&#39;ve seen so far. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QzIqWEkIIK\">https:\/\/t.co\/QzIqWEkIIK<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Digital Trends (@DigitalTrends) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DigitalTrends\/status\/1846494590322569304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 16, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Apparently, they are attached to the upper section of the &#8220;support&#8221; and will also be removable<\/strong>. It is not shown, but it is likely that the smart ring will need a section without electronic components to fill the gap left when they are removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps <strong>the most striking aspect of the design is the dome that covers the electronic components<\/strong>, giving it an appearance similar to that of a pearl or signet ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not the most modern design for a ring, despite its high-tech innards, but it is certainly very different from the discreet designs we are seeing for smart rings at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Amazon Prime Video\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/c162012f-3d10-436b-a6b5-fde423154d8c\/3464089414\/amazon-prime-video-download-amazon-prime-video.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Amazon Prime Video<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/amazon-prime-video.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/amazon-prime-video.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without a doubt, <strong>it is an unusual design and concept, but a patent does not mean it will become a real product<\/strong>.
