A keyboard ring capable of alphanumeric output

2•SEMIPREMIUM•1mo ago
Hello,

Testing the waters here, as I just scored technical feasibility on this after working on it for a 2-3 years. Have to be shallow about the details as it is being patented.

I have designed a keyboard ring capable of silent typing using HID only. The raw data is processed by an AI system delivering the complete sentences to the host device clipboard or in the companion app. I got the hardware working, but have not yet decided on the software layer.

The product while worn was originally meant to enable capturing and describing thoughts with no barrier to "start recording", a problem I've been having as an inventor while working on multiple projects and having multiple steps either to get a piece of paper and pencil in place or through a smartphone with authentication, finding the app, opening the correct note and so forth. Often when it is inappropriate or when cycling, walking or driving. When in position, the good stuff is already gone and cannot be recalled as it was. The purpose is to be able to catch and record trains of thoughts from they appear in consciousness or surface, with no latency. And this is the solution I thought of, which now will be prototyped.

It enables alphanumeric output in any situation, such as meetings or when going on a hike. You can probably text while driving without anyone noticing, and you can write text into your AR glasses with no gestures.

There are multiple use cases with this one.

Short summary:

- BLE and HID over GATT - Requires no vision - Operable with one hand - Silent - No gestures

I'm a hardware guy, and looking for feedback on what to do with it in relation to the various interfaces out there in the software world.

If a ring capable of typing complete sentences or single words with one hand and without looking existed and this reliably pushed the output from the ring peripheral to the host device, where to go from there?

Nothing makes me want to consider your product less than openly suggesting breaking the law and endangering others as a use case.

SEMIPREMIUM•1mo ago
What are you talking about? I am not openly suggesting that. This is a forum for tech in development. It is important to discuss and be able to be open about both intended and unintended consequences of the technology we work on. Too much focus on the positives. So this is an exercise on the good side of freedom of speech. With open discussion, the positives can be magnified and the negative mitigated.

This is an unintended consequence, but it would make it safer from a utilitarian perspective. I think a consequence of taking this to market is that people would use it for that, but it is not intended specifically for that. Traffic safety is a big one, and anything that can improve traffic safety should be considered, and if it does the law will change and adapt to technological innovation, but that is far ahead.
