The world evolves over the time and gone are the times when smartwatch
was considered as the game changer and people considered that there is
no alternate to the efficiency of such a watch. The introduction of
smarty ring has buzzed the market experts and people are waiting
anxiously for the launch of this anticipated gadget in the market.
The smarty ring
can not only work as a remote control but it may be used for making
phone calls too. It can be connected to the smartphone with the help of
Bluetooth. LED screen of the smarty ring displays current time to the
user and it also showcases the emails and other notifications. Listening
to music on this device is an incredible experience, since the playback
can be controlled using the keys of the smarty ring. What stands out
from this device is its feature of anti-theft. According to this
feature, if the phone gets away by 30 meters from the ring, an alarm
starts ringing in order to aware the user of a theft. The condition for
the usage of this feature is that the phone should be connected with
Bluetooth.
Smartwatches have just
featured in the market six months ago and it has not been a long time
before the engineers have come out with another invention in the form of
a “Smarty Ring”. These smarty rings are a portable gadget and the user
can take them anywhere he wants. This is the next level of technology
after the smartwatch. The smarty ring is actually made of stainless
steel and it can be connected to the smartphone with the help of
Bluetooth. This can be done by employing a dedicated app for this
purpose. Smarty rings have LED lights attached to them and every time
the user gets phone call, texts, facebook or twitter notifications, it
lit up. Moreover, the smarty ring can be used as a remote control for
the user.
The smarty ring has been credited to the Chennai based engineer named Ashok Kumar.
He worked on the concept of Smarty Ring and has realized it with a
calculative approach. Ashok Kumar always had a vision to bring a buzz in
the tech industry by doing something extra-ordinary. He had recently
established a campaign known by the name, Indiegogo
that was responsible to raise 40,000 USD in order to support his high
end gadget and already received in excess of 30,000 USD. The smarty ring
is attached with a Bluetooth 4.0 sensor that can be connected to
Android or iOS device. This can be done through a dedicated smarty ring
app. The smarty ring profile can be changed using this app and the time
zones can be set accordingly. The speed dials are also available in the
smarty ring. There are times when the smarty ring does not have any
notifications to show, in such cases only the time is displayed on the
LED screen.
In the case of a phone call,
the users can choose to reject or answer the phone by simply pressing
the buttons available to the sides of the ring. The phone calls can be
placed using the speed dial technology too. The work of the user has
been simplified with the help of smarty ring.

The music on the phone
can be stopped, paused or played with the help of buttons available on
the smarty ring, hence it plays the role of a remote control. One of the
most striking features of the smarty ring is the flexible battery and
it is situated at the right side of the ring as the grid. According to
the claims received by Kumar, this smarty ring can last up to 24 hours
on the trot. It is a guarantee that has been provided by Ashok Kumar.
The battery can also be charged using a wireless charging pad. The icons
available on the smarty ring can lighten up when the user receives some
text or mail or any other notification. It is very easy to make a skype
call with the help of this device too.
There is a stopwatch and a
countdown timer that are seen as inbuilt features in the smarty ring.
The availability of the alarm makes this ring a special gadget. When the
ring is taken 30 meters away from the reach of the phone, it starts
playing an alarm which aware the user of a possible theft. The drawback
of the alarm is that it rings only when the owner of the ring is
wearing the gadget. Another feature of the smarty ring is that it is
water proof. This feature has been reported under the Indiegogo campaign
started by Ashok Kumar. A wireless charging pad is used for charging
the ring. It can also be used to charge the phone. The price of the
smarty ring is expected to be around 275 USD. It might
be available from the next year.

April month will possibly see the
release of the ring. In the smarty ring, the user can adjust the time
zones according to his own requirement. The smarty ring is portable and
it can be taken anywhere according to the needs of the user. He can
receive updates even when he swims across the pool. The people who
support the campaign started by Ashok Kumar can get a special discount
for the same. They may receive the ring at a nominal price of 175 USD.
The flexibility of the 22 mAh battery is also in the news. It will
work for at least 24 hours on the trot and that has been guaranteed by
Ashok.
The smarty ring has been evolving and
the same kind of device was previously introduced by Gusztav Szikszai
who released the specs in Setember. This ring used to tell user the time
when he twisted it. Hence, the concept was quite similar but very
different in many ways. The ring developed by Hungarian designer was
actually just an alternative to the people who don’t like wearing
watches and hence they could replace it with a ring. The ring clock did
not possess any smart features like the smarty ring. Hence, there is a
great anxiety among the fans for the release of this ring.
