Abstract
An electronic device that can be worn on a limb of a user can include a processing device and one or more position sensing devices operatively connected to the processing device. The processing device can be adapted to determine which limb of the user is wearing the electronic device based on one or more signals received from at least one position sensing device.
Claims20
A method of detecting a gesture made by a user of a wearable electronic device, comprising:
- receiving at a processor of the wearable electronic device, over time, signals from at least one position sensing device included in the wearable electronic device;
- determining from the signals, at the processor, a movement pattern of the wearable electronic device, the movement pattern including movements in positive and negative directions with respect to a coordinate system;
- and
- identifying, at the processor, a gesture indicated by the movement pattern.

An electronic device wearable on a wrist of a user, comprising:
- a processor included within the electronic device;
- and
- one or more position sensing devices included within the electronic device and operatively connected to the processor;
- wherein,
- the processor is configured to:
- receive, over time, signals from the one or more position sensing devices;
- determine, from the signals, a movement pattern of the wearable electronic device, the movement pattern including movements in positive and negative directions with respect to a coordinate system;
- and
- identify a gesture indicated by the movement pattern.
6 more elements
An electronic device wearable on a wrist of a user, comprising:
- an enclosure;
- a processor mounted within the enclosure;
- a display mounted to the enclosure and operatively connected to the processor;
- and
- a set of position sensing devices mounted within the enclosure and operatively connected to the processor;
- wherein,
