將來智能裝置會穿在手上，不是拿在手中？Samsung 在韓國和美國為智能手套申請專利，標題為 FINGER MOTION RECOGNITION GLOVE USING CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS AND METHOD THEREOF。
According to one embodiment, a finger motion recognition glove using conductive materials configured to detect the bending of fingers using a characteristic in which the glove which is made of conductive fibers. The finger motion recognition glove includes pairs of contacts, positioned on corresponding pairs of locations on the glove where knuckles of fingers are bent, each pair of contacts coupled to a first surface of the glove, the finger region between each of the pairs of contacts having a resistance value that changes as the corresponding finger region of the glove is bent and unbent.
上面是文件內的 Abstrat 段落，其實寫得有點籠統。大致就是手套以傳導纖維物料製成，可感應手指彎曲動作，並有不同的接觸點可以判定手套的手指部份是否彎曲。
從專利文件內的圖片可見，手套設有多個感應器可偵測手指的彎曲動作，而手掌部份亦有一個類似 QWERTY 的鍵盤操控。
不知甚麼時候會見到實物呢？當然，申請專利不等於會開發產品的。
