    摘要: An electronic device for processing impedance changes is provided. The electronic device receives, from a wearable device that includes (i) a first biopotential-signal sensor configured to contact a first sensor-skin interface when the wearable device is worn on a body part of a user, and (ii) a second biopotential-signal sensor configured to contact a second sensor-skin interface when the wearable device is worn on the body part of the user, data indicating impedance values at the first and second sensor-skin interfaces. The method further includes, after physical contact by an object other than the body part with or near the body part of the user, based on obtaining (i) a first impedance change at the first sensor-skin interface and (ii) a second impedance change at the second sensor-skin interface, determining whether the physical contact corresponds to a user command to control the wearable device or another electronic device.
