Crown input for a wearable electronic device

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• at an electronic device with a housing, a touch-sensitive display, and a physical crown that has a fixed axis about which the physical crown rotates relative to the touch-sensitive display and the housing:
• receiving crown position information associated with the physical crown of the electronic device including a rotational position of the physical crown;
• determining whether a rotation of the physical crown about the fixed axis relative to the touch-sensitive display and to the housing has occurred based on the received rotational position of the physical crown;
• in response to determining that the rotation of the physical crown has occurred about the fixed axis relative to the touch-sensitive display and to the housing, causing at least a portion of a first data displayed on the touch-sensitive display of the electronic device to be scrolled in a first direction parallel to the fixed axis about which the physical crown rotates relative to the touch-sensitive display and the housing;
• determining whether the rotation of the physical crown about the fixed axis relative to the touch-sensitive display and to the housing has stopped based on the received rotational position of the physical crown;
• and
• in response to determining that the rotation of the physical crown has stopped, causing at least the portion of the first data displayed on the touch-sensitive display of the electronic device to be scrolled in a second direction opposite the first direction parallel to the fixed axis about which the physical crown rotates relative to the touch-sensitive display and the housing.

An electronic device comprising:

• a housing;
• one or more processors;
• a touch-sensitive display;
• a physical crown that has a fixed axis about which the physical crown rotates relative to the touch-sensitive display and the housing operatively coupled to the one or more processors;
• and
• the touch-sensitive display operatively coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to:
• receive crown position information associated with the physical crown of the electronic device including a rotational position of the physical crown;
• determine whether a rotation of the physical crown about the fixed axis relative to the touch-sensitive display and to the housing has occurred based on the received rotational position of the physical crown;
• in response to determining that the rotation of the physical crown has occurred about the fixed axis relative to the touch-sensitive display and to the housing, cause at least a portion of a first data displayed on the touch-sensitive display of the electronic device to be scrolled in a first direction parallel to the fixed axis about which the physical crown rotates relative to the touch-sensitive display and the housing;
• determine whether the rotation of the physical crown about the fixed axis relative to the touch-sensitive display and to the housing has stopped based on the received rotational position of the physical crown;
• and
• in response to determining that the rotation of the physical crown has stopped, cause at least the portion of the first data displayed on the touch-sensitive display of the electronic device to be scrolled in a second direction opposite the first direction parallel to the fixed axis about which the physical crown rotates relative to the touch-sensitive display and the housing.
