The housing may be adapted to enclose the components of the wearable personal digital device. The band may be adapted to attach to the housing and secure the wearable personal digital device on a user body.

A hand mount for a data capture device having an optical axis includes: a body configured to rest on a back of a hand of an operator; a mounting plate affixed to the body, the mounting plate defining a longitudinal axis; a latch assembly coupled to the mounting plate, the latch assembly configured to releasably secure the data capture device with the optical axis parallel with the longitudinal axis of the mounting plate; a proximal wing extending from a proximal end of the body, the proximal wing defining a proximal fastener configured to engage with a wrist of an operator; a distal wing extending from a distal end of the body at a nonparallel angle to the longitudinal axis, the distal wing configured to engage with a finger of the operator; and a trigger disposed on the distal wing.

Various embodiments described herein illustrate a glove that includes an anterior portion and a posterior portion. The anterior portion is knitted seamlessly with the posterior portion to define a metacarpal region and a plurality of finger regions extending out from the metacarpal region. A first conductive pad is knitted on the anterior portion of the glove. The first conductive pad is knitted on a distal end portion of a first finger region. A second conductive pad knitted on the posterior portion of the glove. Further, the second conductive pad is knitted on a second finger region. An electronic device is removably attached to the posterior portion and is in electrical communication with the first conductive pad and the second conductive pad. The electronic device is triggered in an instance in which the first conductive pad contacts the second conductive pad.

Example embodiments relate to a wearable mobile terminal. In one embodiment, the wearable mobile terminal comprises at least one processing element and at least one memory including program code. In such an embodiment, the wearable mobile terminal is configured to capture one or more machine-readable codes and obtain data from the captured one or more machine-readable codes.

Systems and methods for capturing machine-readable symbols using a finger mounted indicia. The system includes an image sensor that captures a plurality of images from the field of view of the image sensor. An occurrence of a gesture is detected in the plurality of images, in which the gesture is represented by a trace of a number of movements of a finger mounted indicia. In response to detecting the occurrence of the gesture, an at least attempt is triggered to decode one or more machine-readable symbols represented in the images. The gesture may be used to indicate a region of interest that includes the machine-readable symbol. Such indication may improve the efficiency and processing time needed to detect and decode a machine-readable symbol.

A hand wearable includes a flexible body, a barcode scanner attachment device, a trigger device, and a nonvolatile memory device. The nonvolatile memory device stores hand wearable, barcode scanner, or both specific information including one or more data indicative of the life of the hand wearable, the life of a scanner operatively coupled to the barcode scanner attachment device, or both. The nonvolatile memory device holds the stored hand wearable, barcode scanner, or both specific information when power to the nonvolatile memory device is turned off. The nonvolatile memory device makes the stored hand wearable, barcode scanner, or both specific information available when the power to the nonvolatile memory device is turned on. A system, method of using, and method of manufacturing the hand wearable is also disclosed.

The present disclosure generally relates to drink reminder, and more particularly, to a wearable reminder for drinking in a bracelet or a finger ring form factor. One of issues that cause illness in elderly or persons with special illness or ordinary persons due to improper habit, is frequently they forget to drink enough amounts of liquid and this inadequate drink lead to dehydration. Using special drinkware which comprises bulky circuits and batteries is not convenient for users and people like to use their own personal drinkware, mug, cup or glass. This disclosure proposes a wearable reminder for drinking and can be used with any kind of drinkwares and only need to attach an active, passive or semi-active RFID tag to the drinkware. The user wears a wearable like bracelet or a finger ring and wearable reminds him/her based on predefined time schedule or condition.

Systems and methods for a machine-readable symbol reader that includes a scan engine, a finger mount, and a wrist mount. The scan engine couples to and moves with the finger mount, which is sized and dimensioned to accommodate at least a portion of one or more fingers. The wrist mount accommodates at least a portion of a wrist and releasably secures the wrist mount to the wrist. The wrist mount includes an electrical interface to a power source. A flexible substrate extends between the finger mount and the wrist mount, and may carry one or more electrically conductive paths that extend between the wrist mount and at least one of the finger mount and the scan engine to provide power from the power source to the scan engine. The finger mount may include a user input device to trigger the scan engine to scan within the field of view.
