Samsung's patented smart ring will let you control devices by just waving your hand

A Samsung patent, published just last week, reveals that the company is fiddling with the idea of smart rings. These would be used to help you control all of your smart home appliances with just a flick of a finger.
How? Well, the ring would sport at least one inertial sensor in order to read sudden movements and gestures. Additionally, a touch sensor would be applied to the ring's surface to enhance interactability.
Of course, this is just a patent, which means that Samsung has figured out a way it may possibly want to incorporate such tech in future products. It is in no way a guarantee that this would see the light of day just yet. And, frankly, it might take a while before such technology can fit in a ring small enough to not look ridiculous.
