Java Ring

The Java Ring is a smart ring introduced in 1998 that contains a small microprocessor. It functions similarly to a smartcard by storing data on a computer chip enclosed in stainless steel. When pushed against a reader, it can unlock doors, make payments, and take attendance by running small programs on its embedded virtual machine. While portable and durable, it had limited adoption due to its niche use and concerns over privacy.

Java Ring In Its Natural
Environment
Components
• Java virtual machine(JVM)

• RAM

• ROM

• Blue Dot Receptor


JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE
(JVM)

• It’s a piece of software,recognizes java


language.

• Translates into byte code with can be used


the sysytem.

• Preloaded with small programs.


Working
• Whenever the user pushes his ring on a
ring reader(Blue Dot Receptor), the
corresponding application will take place.

• The jewel of the java ring is the iButton.

• iButton is a computer chip enclosed in a


thick stainless steel can.
(Cont…)

Working
• Java Ring uses 1-wire protocol for
communication with the host and the
iButton.
i - Button
• iButton is the computer chip enclosed in
thick stainless steel can.

• It was originally called touch memory


device later renamed as iButtton.

Blue Dot Receptor

• Java ring is programmed with the applets


and programming is done according to our
application.

• Whenever user pushes his ring on blue dot


receptor, the corresponding application
will take place.
Advantages
• Ideal where information need to travel with person.
