Abstract: A smart ring includes a shell having an internal surface and sidewalls define an interior, a battery within a first sector of the interior, a PCB within a second sector of the interior having components including a fingerprint sensor, a temperature sensor, a memory and a processing unit coupled to the temperature sensor and the fingerprint sensor and configured to determine whether an incoming fingerprint data is authenticated, and a potting compound disposed within the interior and encapsulating the components, wherein the potting compound forms an inner portion of the smart ring characterized by a first curved portion, a first and second flat regions within the second sector and a third region within the second sector between the first and second flat regions, wherein the fingerprint sensor is disposed below the first flat region, and wherein the temperature sensor is associated with the second flat region.

Abstract: A method includes providing with a first wearable smart device, a plurality of identification signals associated with a first user, receiving with a second wearable smart device, the plurality of identification signals, determining with a processor of the second wearable smart device, configuration data for the second wearable smart device in response to the plurality of identification signals, configuring with the processor, the second wearable smart device in response to the configuration data, receiving with an input portion of the second wearable smart device a user input, and directing with the processor, performance of a tangible action in response to the configuration data and to the user input.

Abstract: An access control system includes a first controller having a first antenna interface for broadcasting identifying data to local devices, for receiving ephemeral ID signals, token signals or payload data from local devices, and a first processor for determining a first authentication when an ephemeral ID signal or a token from a first local device is determined to be valid, for determining a second authentication when an ephemeral ID signal or a token from a second local device is determined to be valid, and for instructing a peripheral to perform a user-perceptible action in response to the first authentication, and a second controller coupled to the first controller having a second processor for receiving payload data for the second local device in response to the second authentication, and a second antenna interface for outputting at least a portion of the payload data to the remote server in response to the second authentication.

Abstract: An identity reader device includes a short-range transceiver for outputting an advertisement signal to a smart device, and for receiving an ephemeral ID from the smart device, wherein the ephemeral ID is not permanently associated with a user of the smart device, a network interface for providing the first ephemeral ID to a remote authentication service, and for receiving responsive data from the remote authentication service, a visual display for display one or more graphical user interfaces, and a processor for directing the visual display to display a first GUI to the user, in response to the responsive data, for determining whether the user is authorized, and for directing output of a physical action, in response to determining that the user is authorized.
