摘要

A ring device to be worn on a digit of a user is provided. The ring device includes an inner ring suitable to be worn on a digit of a user and a housing rotatably coupled to the inner ring. Along the housing a touch surface is located along with touch sensors configured to detect a touch input. Additionally, the ring includes rotary sensors configured to detect rotation of the housing.

主权项

1. A method for determining intentional input to a touch surface of a wearable device, the method comprising:
identifying, by one or more processors, a first interaction by a user with the touch surface; determining, by the one or more processors, an amount of force applied by the first interaction; determining, by the one or more processors, a duration the first interaction occurred; responsive to the amount of force applied by the interaction being above a first threshold and the duration the interaction occurred being below a second threshold, storing, by the one or more processors, the first interaction.
