将来智能装置会穿在手上，不是拿在手中？Samsung 在韩国和美国为智能手套申请专利，标题为 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.
上面是文件内的 Abstrat 段落，其实写得有点笼统。大致就是手套以传导纤维物料制成，可感应手指弯曲动作，并有不同的接触点可以判定手套的手指部份是否弯曲。
从专利文件内的图片可见，手套设有多个感应器可侦测手指的弯曲动作，而手掌部份亦有一个类似 QWERTY 的键盘操控。
不知什么时候会见到实物呢？当然，申请专利不等于会开发产品的。
