    摘要: A digital device and a method of forming a digital device. The digital device includes a body, circuitry and a folding assembly. The body is provided with a body having a pointer end and a tail end opposite the pointer end. Circuitry is disposed within the body for sending or receiving signals representing a position of the pointer end relative to a signal receiving surface disposed on a watch. A folding assembly integral with the body permits the body to fold from a linear shape to a folded shape adapted to circumscribe at least a portion of a watch band. The body may be formed with a plurality of hinges interconnecting a plurality of segments of the body, wherein the plurality of hinges connects the body segments to permit the body to pivot from the linear shape to a geometric shape adapted to circumscribe a portion of the watch band.

    摘要: An electronic device and an operation method of parameter selection are provided. According to the method, a first parameter adjustment interface is displayed on a touch display. The first parameter adjustment interface includes an inner circular area and a surrounding area surrounding the inner circular area. The surrounding area closest to the touched first position corresponds to a first parameter value. When the object slides from the first position to a second position of the peripheral region, the touch display is switched to a second parameter adjustment interface The selected area of the second parameter adjustment interface displays the first parameter value. When the object slides from the second position to a third position along the peripheral region, the selected area is switched to display a second parameter value corresponding to the third position.

    摘要: Systems and methods for using portions of the surface around a wearable smart device as virtual touchpads for data and command entry are disclosed. For wearable smart devices worn on the wrist like smartwatches, the skin area over the back hand as well as the surface area over the arm adjacent to the device may serve as virtual touchpads. One or more side looking cameras facing each virtual touchpad may be used to detect touches and movements by one or more fingers on the virtual touchpads to simulate equivalent tactile gestures that control the device. Various surface artifact movements captured by the cameras may be used to confirm that the finger is actually touching the virtual touchpad and not just hovering above it. Sound sensors that independently detect and locate finger touches, as well as motion sensors that detect vibration corresponding to actual touch tap events, may be combined with the cameras to improve the detection accuracy of the tactile gestures. Touch position may also be detected by triangulation of encoded RF signals that propagate from one side of the device via the operator body to the back hand virtual touchpad. Two or more virtual touchpads can operate in interchangeable or complementary modes. During interchangeable operation mode, all virtual touchpads may respond to all the tactile gestures supported by the device. In complementary mode, some virtual touchpads may be restricted to recognize only a specific subset of the supported gestures.
