  • Patent number: 11958488
    Abstract: The described systems and methods determine a driver's fitness to safely operate a moving vehicle based at least in part upon observed UVB exposure patterns, where the driver's UVB exposure levels may serve as a proxy for vitamin D levels in that driver's body. A smart ring, wearable on a user's finger, continuously monitors user's exposure to UVB light. This UVB exposure data, representing UVB exposure patterns, can be utilized, in combination with driving data, to train a machine learning model, which will predict the user's level of risk exposure based at least in part upon observed UVB exposure patterns. The user can be warned of this risk to prevent them from driving or to encourage them to get more sunlight exposure before driving. In some instances, the disclosed smart ring system may interact with the user's vehicle to prevent it from starting while exposed to high risk due to deteriorated psychological or physiological conditions stemming from insufficient UVB exposure.

  • Patent number: 11949673
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing multi-factor authentication using a smart ring are disclosed. An exemplary method includes performing a first authentication operation by: collecting, by sensors, gestural data representing a candidate gesture corresponding to ring movement; comparing the candidate gesture to an authentication gesture for a known user; when the candidate gesture matches the authentication gesture, generating a first signal indicating that a particular user has been identified and authenticated as the known user; and transmitting the first signal to a second device, wherein the second device controls access to a resource. The method also includes performing a second authentication operation by detecting contact between the ring and an external component; and generating and transmitting a second signal in response to detecting the contact, and when the second device receives the first and the second signals, causing the second device to grant the particular user access to the resource.

  • Patent number: 11908043
    Abstract: Telematics systems and methods are described for generating interactive animated guided user interfaces (GUIs). A telematics cloud platform is configured to receive vehicular telematics data from a telematics device onboard a vehicle. A GUI value compression component determines, based on the vehicular telematics data, a plurality of GUI position values and a plurality of corresponding GUI time values. A geospatial animation app receives the plurality of GUI position values and the plurality of corresponding GUI time values. The geospatial animation app implements an interactive animated GUI that renders a plurality of geospatial graphics or graphical routes on a geographic area map via a display device. The geospatial graphics or graphical routes are rendered to have different visual forms based on differences between respective GUI position values and corresponding GUI time values.
