Insights
Wearable Devices' new patent allowance strengthens their IP portfolio by combining gesture and voice technologies, expanding potential applications across multiple industries.
The USPTO's allowance of Wearable Devices' "Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface Device" patent represents a strategic expansion of the company's intellectual property portfolio. This technology addresses a fundamental limitation in current voice-only interfaces by integrating precise gesture control with voice commands, creating multi-modal interaction capabilities.
The patent creates technical differentiation through three key innovations: the integration of gesture recognition with voice interfaces, personalization features, and combined neural and voice-based authentication. This multi-layered approach enhances both the security and usability of human-machine interfaces.
The article outlines several practical applications that highlight the technology's versatility:
- Navigation and control of AI/AR glasses using natural gestures with voice commands
- Smart home control where voice selects devices and gestures fine-tune settings
- Multi-user environments with individual recognition through unique gesture/voice signatures
- Medical settings where sterile interaction with digital interfaces is crucial
Particularly noteworthy is the authentication capability, which could address persistent security challenges in voice-controlled environments by adding a biometric layer through neural signals. For WLDS, this patent allowance strengthens their position in the wearable sensing technology market by extending their core bio-potential sensor innovations into new interaction paradigms.
Newly allowed patent extends Wearable Devices’ innovative gesture technology into the domain of voice control
YOKNEAM ILLIT, ISRAEL, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wearable Devices Ltd. (the “Company” or “Wearable Devices”) (Nasdaq: WLDS, WLDSW), a technology growth company specializing in artificial intelligence (“AI")-powered touchless sensing wearables, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has allowed its patent titled “Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface Device.”
This patent represents a significant advancement in the Company’s strategic intellectual property (“IP”) portfolio, strengthening global protection for its core innovations in wearable bio-potential sensors. The Company’s IP strategy includes patent families designed to protect a wide spectrum of future applications, ensuring agility in response to emerging global market needs.
The newly allowed patent enables the integration of gesture recognition with voice control interfaces, introducing personalization features, and combining both neural and voice-based user authentication. This creates a more seamless, secure, and intuitive human-machine interaction.
The patented technology enables intuitive, hands-free interaction across a wide range of applications. For example, users wearing AI-powered or augmented reality (“AR”) glasses can navigate maps, control audio, and access virtual assistants using natural gestures and voice commands. In smart home applications, a user can use their voice to select a home appliance to control - such as the TV volume or air conditioning temperature - and then use subtle gestures to fine-tune the settings. In multi-user environments, such as smart homes or shared AR systems, the device intelligently recognizes individual users through unique gesture and voice signatures, delivering personalized experiences. In clinical or surgical settings, medical professionals can interact with digital interfaces - scrolling, zooming, or switching views - without compromising sterility, using only in-air gestures and voice cues.
“Voice control is an essential interface for smart environments, but it often lacks the precision, personalization and the security users need,” said Guy Wagner, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Wearable Devices. “By integrating voice and gesture-based interaction along with neural and voice-based user authentication, we’re bridging that gap, enabling users not only initiate actions by voice but also to fine-tune and personalize device behavior through intuitive gestures. This combination introduces a new dimension of seamless, secure, and intelligent human-computer interaction.”
