USER GESTURE INPUT TO WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INVOLVING OUTWARD-FACING SENSOR OF DEVICE

摘要

In one embodiment, a wearable apparatus includes a sensor, a processor coupled to the sensor, and a memory coupled to the processor that includes instructions executable by the processor. When executing the instructions, the processor detects by the sensor movement of at least a portion of an arm of a user; detects, based at least in part on the movement, a gesture made by the user; and processes the gesture as input to the wearable apparatus.

主权项

1. A wearable apparatus comprising:
a display; a motion sensor configured to detect a movement; a pulse sensor configured to detect a pulse of a user and located at a side opposite to the display to contact a wrist of the user wearing the wearable apparatus; a processor communicably coupled to the motion sensor; and a memory communicably coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor, and the processor being operable, when executing the instructions, to:
in response to a detection of the pulse by the pulse sensor, determine a gesture made by an arm of the user based at least in part on the movement which is detected by the motion sensor; andactivate or deactivate a functionality of at least one component of the wearable apparatus based on at least a part of the determined gesture.
