Abstract: A smart ring system for changing applications and methods for making and using the same. The smart ring system comprises a wearable smart ring equipped with input mechanisms for user interaction, wireless communication devices for interfacing with a variety of electronic devices and/or a power management system for efficient energy use. The smart ring system advantageously can allow users to seamlessly switch between and control applications on connected devices, such as smartphones, cameras, televisions, smart home devices, mixed-reality devices, via a combination of rotational motion gestures, optical and capacitive based touch inputs, haptic feedback and color indications on the smart ring system. The smart ring system advantageously can be manufactured with one or more flexible printed circuit boards that can be encased via an over molding process, which allows for thinner and more compact device profile for improved wearability.
