Token is a smart ring with a built-in fingerprint scanner that can open the doors of a house, start a car, carry out transactions on a bank card and even enter a password on your computer.
The novelty works as follows: on the inside of the ring there is a fingerprint scanner that will confirm that you are an authorized user. Then, it is necessary to run a finger along the outer rim of the ring, so that the optical sensor makes sure that the device is on the finger. Each time wearing a ring, it is necessary to undergo such an identification procedure. While you have not withdrawn it, you can authorize the action (money transfer, login, and so on. ) By touching the hand.
Token developers have received support from MasterCard, Microsoft, Visa and HID so that their device can perform what no other analogue can do.
Token allows you to add login passwords, credit cards and other profiles with the help of an accompanying application, and then you can not confirm certain actions.
The smart ring does not look as elegant as thin and shiny jewelry, but the manufacturer is confident that the functions that this device provides can convince most people to use it.
Built-in "smart" ring battery provides up to three weeks of battery life. Each Token comes with its own wireless charger holder, and the built-in LEDs will flash red every minute, when the battery charge goes down to 30%, which, however, according to the company, will last for several more days.
A $ 249 smart ring is already available for pre-order.
