Development of a Smart Ring Series using Kansei Engineering

Abstract

People have become more flexible and healthier by using these smart devices to track and do their daily work. Exercises and daily activity management are key factors in a human’s daily life. After analysing humans' issues and difficulties, the authors decided to develop an automated device. The researchers aim to develop a smart ring series with different features embedded in them to make the life of humans easy. Some people do not like to wear watches. However, almost all humans, especially females, love to wear rings. So, the authors decided that a ring would be more efficient and user-friendly. After the study, the authors decided to design a ring series as it would be easy for users. They can choose the ring with the feature they need rather than buying all the rings. The authors designed four rings. The first ring is capable of tracking your fitness level. The other ring can be used to lock and unlock your belongings. The third ring can be used to track your emotions, while the last ring is capable of tracking motion. Each ring has a particular feature along with the relevant sensors needed to accomplish the task. The authors have conducted a survey to find the relevant features and have followed Kansei Engineering concepts when designing the final design. The authors have designed the final design by conducting a statistical analysis of the results.
