SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING A TOUCH INTERFACE ON A WEARABLE DEVICE

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods for implementing a touch interface on a wearable computing device. Described herein is a wearable computing device comprising a printed circuit board (PCB), a housing configured to be attached to a user, enclosed over the PCB, and including a display surface, a plurality of electronic components disposed on the PCB and including a plurality of display components to generate display data visible through the display surface of the housing, and a user input touch interface at least partially overlapping the display surface of the housing. The user touch interface includes an array of capacitive touch sensitive electrode elements disposed on the PCB, wherein at least some of the electrode elements are interspersed on the PCB between two or more of the display components, and sensing circuitry configured to detect changes in the array of capacitive touch sensitive electrode elements.
