Device and associated element for coupling to the device

摘要

A device includes one or more actuatable elements that are actuated upon coupling of an element to the device at one or more positions with respect to the device. One or more device characteristics such as a device state or device settings may be established based on actuation of the actuatable elements.

1. A device, comprising:
a display panel configured to display information; a plurality of actuatable elements comprising a first group of actuatable elements and a second group of actuatable elements, wherein the first group of actuatable elements includes at least one actuatable element not included in the second group of actuatable elements, and wherein the first group of actuatable elements are configured to be actuated upon coupling of a group of coupling portions of a graspable apparatus to the first group of actuatable elements and the second group of actuatable elements are configured to be actuated upon coupling of the group of coupling portions of the graspable apparatus to the second group of actuatable elements; and a control module configured to:
determine that the device is oriented in a first spatial position,detect coupling of the group of coupling portions to the first group of actuatable elements,cause the information to be displayed in a first orientation,determine that the device is oriented in a second spatial position different from the first spatial position,determine that the group of coupling portions remain coupled to the first group of actuatable elements while the device is in the second spatial position,cause the information to continue to be displayed in the first orientation,detect de-coupling of the group of coupling portions from the first group of actuatable elements,detect coupling of the group of coupling portions to the second group of actuatable elements, andcause the information to be displayed in a second orientation that is different from the first orientation.
