JAKARTA - Samsung continues to develop innovations for its wearable device line. After successfully launching its first Galaxy Ring in 2025 and receiving positive reviews, now a new patent reveals a possible significant increase in the next generation. One of the interesting features of this South Korean company, what is mentioned is the ability to measure body temperature directly.

The Galaxy Ring currently has a temperature sensor, but users cannot use it manually. This sensor only functions to support the prediction features of menstruation cycles in women, by detecting changes in body temperature during sleep.

However, in a patent recently published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Samsung appears to be developing a system that allows users to measure body temperature at any time. Users can activate temperature sensors with certain gestures or movements, given that the Galaxy Ring does not have physical buttons or touch screens.

Samsung is also developing a system to ensure that sensors only capture the user's body temperature, without being affected by contact with other people or external surfaces. In fact, in a patent sketch, the Galaxy Ring can be used to measure the temperature of others by attaching it to their forehead.

In addition to more flexible temperature measurement capabilities, the patent also shows that the upcoming Galaxy Ring can alert users through various methods, such as visuals, audio, or vibrations.

Currently, the Galaxy Ring does not have a vibrational motor or other warning system. However, Samsung has the potential to add a mild vibrational feature to the upcoming model, which can be used to notify users when there is an abnormal change in body temperature.

Although patents are not always realized in commercial products, the technology described in this document seems quite realistic to apply. Previously, Samsung had also patented a system that would allow the Galaxy Ring to adjust its size automatically to make it more suitable for users' fingers.

However, it is not yet known when these features will actually be present in the market. If Samsung manages to implement this technology, the next generation Galaxy Ring can become a more sophisticated and useful wearable device, especially for those who want to monitor health more practically without having to rely on smartwatches.
