GESTURE-BASED WAKING AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR WEARABLE DEVICES

摘要

A gesture-based waking and control system to wake a smartwatch device from a low-power state is described. In one embodiment, the system utilizes a pressure or proximity based wake gesture that is interpretable by low-power sensors. An embodiment of the system can be integrated within a wearable device, such as a smartwatch accessory that can be paired with a mobile electronic device, such as a smartphone. In one embodiment, the wearable device includes a set of low-power sensors that are to detect the wake gesture. In one embodiment, the wake gesture causes the device to enable an additional set of sensors and sensor processing logic to detect more advanced commands or gestures. In one embodiment, the wake gesture enables a display of the wearable device.

主权项

1. A wearable device comprising:
a pressure sensor for gesture detection, the pressure sensor including a pressure-sensitive element to generate pressure sensor data for a detected gesture; and processing logic to process the pressure sensor data detected by the pressure sensor, to interpret the detected gesture; wherein the gesture causes one or more sub-systems of the wearable device to wake from a low-power state.
