- Description
- A Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0) communication device designed to function as part of a wireless data transmission system. The device (ring) is composed of a titanium housing, internal printed circuit board, semiconductor components, integrated antenna, sensors, and a rechargeable battery. The device incorporates a Bluetooth radio, integrated antenna, onboard processor, and sensor inputs enabling continuous operation and connectivity. It is designed to be worn continuously on the finger and operates as an active endpoint within a communication network. The device continuously maintains a wireless connection with a paired mobile device. Upon detection of predefined events via onboard sensors (including motion and physiological inputs), the device processes these signals locally and transmits data via Bluetooth to the paired device. The data is then relayed through a cloud-based platform to designated external recipients. The primary and essential function of the device is the wireless transmission of data signals within a communication network. The sensor components serve solely as inputs to detect events and trigger transmission, and do not constitute the primary function of the device. The device cannot perform its intended purpose independently of network connectivity. Its function depends on the transmission of data to external systems, and it does not operate as a standalone monitoring or recording device.
