CROWN FOR AN ELECTRONIC WATCH - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18126274 titled 'CROWN FOR AN ELECTRONIC WATCH

The abstract describes an electronic watch with an input system that includes a crown with a knob and a rotor, as well as laser modules for detecting rotational and translational inputs.

  • The electronic watch includes a housing, display, front cover, and input system.
  • The input system consists of a crown with a knob and a rotor that can rotate and translate in response to inputs.
  • Laser modules are used to detect the movement of the rotor and determine parameters of the input.
  • The processing system is responsible for analyzing the data from the laser modules to understand the input.

Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in high-end electronic watches for precise input detection. - It may also have applications in other devices that require rotational and translational inputs.

Problems Solved: - The technology solves the problem of accurately detecting rotational and translational inputs in electronic watches.

Benefits: - Improved accuracy in input detection. - Enhanced user experience with more precise controls.

Commercial Applications: "Advanced Input System for Electronic Watches: Revolutionizing Precision Control in Timepieces"

Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in laser technology for input detection in electronic devices.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of laser modules improve input detection in electronic watches? 2. What are the potential limitations of this input system in electronic watches?


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic watch may include a housing defining a side wall, a display, a front cover positioned over the display, and an input system configured to receive a rotational input and a translational input. The input system may include a crown including a knob external to the housing and a rotor coupled to the knob and configured to rotate in response to the rotational input and translate in response to the translational input. The input system may further include a first laser module configured to direct a first laser beam onto the rotor and receive first reflected light from the rotor, a second laser module configured to direct a second laser beam onto the rotor and receive second reflected light from the rotor. The electronic watch may further include a processing system coupled to the first and second laser modules and configured to determine a parameter of the rotational input.
