GESTURE DETECTION, LIST NAVIGATION, AND ITEM SELECTION USING A CROWN AND SENSORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232710 titled 'GESTURE DETECTION, LIST NAVIGATION, AND ITEM SELECTION USING A CROWN AND SENSORS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is about methods and devices for detecting gestures on a small electronic device, such as a smartwatch, at locations other than the display. These gestures can be performed on the device's housing or on a rotatable input mechanism, like a digital crown. The device then responds to these gestures by performing various actions, such as navigating lists, selecting items, translating electronic documents, or controlling external audio devices.

  • The patent application focuses on detecting gestures on a reduced-size electronic device.
  • Gestures can be performed on the device's housing or on a rotatable input mechanism.
  • The device responds to these gestures by performing actions like navigating lists and selecting items.
  • It can also translate the display of an electronic document based on the gestures.
  • Additionally, the gestures can be used to send audio control data to an external audio device.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure generally relates to methods and apparatuses for detecting gestures on a reduced-size electronic device at locations off of the display, such as gestures on the housing of the device or on a rotatable input mechanism (e.g., a digital crown) of the device, and responding to the gestures by, for example, navigating lists of items and selecting items from the list; translating the display of an electronic document; or sending audio control data to an external audio device.
