==WEARABLE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18540371 titled 'WEARABLE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method of controlling a wearable device worn on a finger of a user by sensing contact with a second finger, measuring impedance between electrodes, identifying the type of finger, and controlling the device based on the finger type.

* Sensing contact by a second finger via an outer surface electrode on the wearable device.
* Measuring impedance between the outer surface electrode and an inner surface electrode in contact with the first finger.
* Identifying the type of the second finger based on the impedance.
* Controlling the operation of the wearable device based on the type of the second finger.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in wearable devices for personalized user interactions based on finger identification.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of providing customized control options for wearable devices based on the type of finger interacting with the device.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include enhanced user experience, improved device security, and personalized control features.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Enhancing User Experience with Finger Identification Technology in Wearable Devices"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to finger identification technology in wearable devices, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method of controlling a wearable device worn on a finger of a user, includes: sensing a contact by a second finger of the user via an outer surface electrode located on an outer circumferential surface of the wearable device worn on a first finger of the user; based on the sensing of the contact, measuring an impedance between the outer surface electrode and an inner surface electrode that is in contact with the first finger of the user; identifying a type of the second finger based on the impedance; and controlling an operation of the wearable device based on the type of the second finger.
