Apple has filed a patent for "smart ring"

Apple has patented a smart ring that has a screen and a touchpad for interacting with other electronic devices. Report this appeared on the website of the US Patent Office on the night of October 2.

According to the approved application, the smart ring will allow you to receive information, for example, from a smartphone, and display it on the screen, as well as control the functions of the phone using the touch panel. In addition, a microphone will be built into the gadget. It is assumed that the ring will be able to recognize handwritten text by the movements of the finger on which it is worn.

Filing a patent does not necessarily indicate the company's intention to create a device; such information is not yet available.

Currently, there are several models of similar smart rings from third-party manufacturers, reports The Verge.

Apple patents quite a few devices - the patent itself does not mean that the company will precisely launch such a device into production. Earlier, Apple patented 3D-desktop, charging case and other gadgets.

Recall that the new iPhones were submitted 9 September 2015 year.

Sales in the United States and several other countries began on September 25.
