The patent is mainly in Korean, and I could only skim it through machine translation.
It describes a connected peripheral that can wirelessly control and transfer data between separate displays.
The devices shown in the patents likely allude to Samsungs Galaxy Book laptops and Galaxy Tab tablets.

Samsungs first-generation Galaxy Ring already has limited gesture offerings, though theres not much to write home about.
It only works if you have it paired with a Galaxy smartphone.
These gestures already exist within the Samsung Galaxy wearable ecosystem, so theyre not groundbreaking.

What the patents describe is more like a wireless peripheral.
We have no idea if Samsungs idea will ever come to fruition.
Most companies file patents on a just in case basis.

Maybe Samsung will reveal this patent in the next-generation Galaxy Ring.
News from the future, delivered to your present.
