Abstract: Smart rings and methods of manufacturing smart rings are provided. A foundation component of a smart ring, in accordance with one implementations, includes a band having at least an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface of the band includes features configured to support electronic components. The foundation component also includes a decorative element having a bottom surface substantially corresponding to a shape of a portion of the outer surface of the band. Furthermore, the decorative element is attached to the outer surface of the band. The action of attaching the decorative element may occur after a band polishing process and before electronic components are attached to the smart ring.

Abstract: Smart rings and methods of manufacturing smart rings are provided. A waterproof design and method of manufacturing of a smart ring, in accordance with one implementation, includes a band having at least an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface of the band includes features configured to support electronic components. The waterproofing design and method of manufacturing includes a laser etching a portion of the inner surface and subsequent to the laser etching of the portion, applying an epoxy over the electronic components and over the laser etched portion of the inner surface. Prior to the laser etching, forming an edge rib on the portion of the inner surface, wherein the laser etching is subsequently on the edge rib. Furthermore, the laser etched portion includes an increased contact area for bonding with the epoxy for the waterproof design.

Abstract: A portable electronic charging case, with a compact form-factor, such as for a smart ring or the like, includes a base; a front cover connected to the base and configured to seal an interior of the charging case; a post on the base and in the interior; an antenna disposed within the post; and circuitry connected to the antenna and to a charging port located on the base. The electronic charging case includes advanced functionality, an aesthetic design, and a compact form-factor. The compact form-factor includes an embedded battery, an environmentally sealed design, and a small NFC/Bluetooth antenna. The aesthetic design includes no user-actuated mechanisms on an exterior of the charging case and an intelligent light sensor for illuminating the charging case. The advanced functionality includes the embedded battery, intelligent light sensor, a temperature sensor for monitoring a user, and monitoring techniques working in conjunction with an associated wearable device.

Abstract: A smart ring includes a battery, memory, processing circuitry, a plurality of sensors, a plurality of antennas, and a battery, each coupled to one another and all enclosed in a casing, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to conserve the battery by any of sending data to the cloud service when an application is open on the user device, sending data to the cloud service when a threshold is crossed, waking up processing or communicating when there is a change in motion detected by the accelerometer.
