Abstract:
A mobile communication device configured to be worn on an index finger of a user's hand. The device includes a case, a microphone, a switch, and a power source. The microphone and the switch are strategically located along a shape of the case so that as worn on the user's index finger and when the switch is activated by the thumb of the user's hand, the hand naturally cups about the microphone to form a barrier to ambient noise. Further, the microphone can readily be located near a corner of the user's mouth for optimal speech-receiving conditions and to provide more private audio input.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for electronically interfacing with a remote electronic device using a finger worn, ring mobile communication device, the method comprising:\n placing a ring mobile communication device over a first finger of a hand of a user, the ring mobile communication device including a case defining a passage within which the first finger is received, a microphone carried by the case and defining a sound receiving side, and a switch carried by the case, the switch defining an actuation surface and electronically linked to the microphone; arranging the case relative to the first finger to locate the actuation surface proximate a second finger of the hand; touching the actuation surface with the second finger to initiate an active mode of operation; collecting audio input at the microphone while in the active mode; and wirelessly transmitting the collected audio input to a remote electronic device while in the active mode.
