In the second half of November, the network got the information that Microsoft has patented a new system for gesture control using handheld devices. The report dealt with the possibility of creating a "smart" ring, which would recognize the gestures of support and to translate them into concrete responses to the controlling device. This week the United States was issued a second package of patents that disclose more information about a new type of portable devices. It is argued that the creation of "smart" ring is a consequence of the development of mobile technologies and the increasing number of unusual wearable device that is not always possible to the usual methods.
It is part of the inhabitants of megacities to interact with mobile devices on the go. Who is doing it out of necessity, and some habit. To facilitate this process, smartphone manufacturers and makers of operating systems were invented gestures to facilitate rapid switching between different functions, but as soon as we leave the discussion of smartphones with large screens to the "smart" watches or points, it is clear that the usual method of interaction with the user interface leaves much to be desired. More difficult to remotely control video game consoles, TVs, computers and laptops, and yet each of these devices has long been an integral part of our lives. Partly to save the situation could voice control, but this method of monitoring devices is not always salutary.
Microsoft concept is that the user may use their fingers for controlling the electronic device. It can be implemented using a "smart" ring which recognizes and interprets the gestures of the user for various wireless control device. Microsoft noted that any action that could be performed by one or more fingers may be considered as a gesture. That is, the touch or slide on the surface can also be recognized as a gesture. Another kind gestures will be movement of your finger in the air and wave of the hand on which the ring. In general, steps may include gestures individual fingers and whole hand.
The surface of such a ring may also be sensitive to pressure, and the camera can detect the distance by the depth sensor and special photosensor. Together, these two "sensory organ" ring greatly expand the range of available gestures control. The ring itself may be made of different materials - plastic, polymer and natural materials such as nephritis and other minerals. The pressure-sensitive surface may include decorative elements, such as precious stones, allowing to give "smart" ring the traditional jewelry appearance. To contact rings to the control device uses a wireless network, though its type - Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile network or any other - is not specified.
Microsoft filed a patent application in May 2014. As you know, redmondovskaya company is not the first one who tries his hand at the market. Earlier, we wrote about the "intelligent" Ring The Ring, but recently it became known that Apple patents related technology cooperation.
