  • Patent number: 10409327
    Abstract: A finger-wearable computing device comprises a ring base configured to be worn on a finger of a wearer's hand, and a track pad supported by the ring base and configured to detect a location of engagement between a marker point on a thumb of the wearer's hand and the track pad. The finger-wearable computing device is configured to generate a command signal indicative of the location of engagement for controlling a component of the finger-wearable computing device or for controlling a remote electronic device.

  • Patent number: 10037052
    Abstract: A finger-wearable computing device may comprise a processor, a ring base, and a display screen. The display screen is coupled to the ring base and coupled to the processor to display an output. The display screen includes a command area configured to receive user input from a wearer's thumb while the finger-wearable computing device is worn on a wearer's finger. The ring base may be resiliently flexible and may define an overlapping loop with a central opening that expands and contracts to fit the wearer's finger. The display screen may be flexibly coupled to the ring base and may have a vertical axis that is canted at an angle relative to a central axis of the ring base to ergonomically position the display screen while the wearable computing device is worn on the finger of the wearer's hand.
