Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to user interface control of a head-worn computer.
Claims20
A system comprising;
- an interactive control element disposed within a housing of a device;
- a first sensor configured to detect a movement of the housing;
- and
- one or more processors configured to perform a method comprising:
- receiving, from the first sensor at a first time, an indication of a movement of the housing;
- receiving, at a second time different from the first time, an indication of an identity of a user of the device;
- in accordance with a detection that a finger of the user is in proximity of the interactive control element at the first time, and further in accordance with a determination that the first time is within a predetermined threshold of the second time, transmitting a signal to a second device, the signal based on the movement of the housing;
- and
- in accordance with a detection that the finger is not in proximity of the interactive control element at the first time, or in accordance with a determination that the first time is not within the predetermined threshold of the second time, forgoing transmitting the signal to the second device,
- wherein the signal is configured to provide input to a user interface display of a wearable head device comprising a second sensor, and wherein the signal is based further on an output of the second sensor.

A method comprising:
- receiving, from a first sensor at a first time, an indication of a movement of a housing of a device, the housing comprising an interactive control element;
- receiving, at a second time different from the first time, an indication of an identity of a user of the device;
- in accordance with a detection that a finger of the user is in proximity of the interactive control element at the first time, and further in accordance with a determination that the first time is within a predetermined threshold of the second time, transmitting a signal to a second device, the signal based on the movement of the housing;
- and
- in accordance with a detection that the finger is not in proximity of the interactive control element at the first time, or in accordance with a determination that the first time is not within the predetermined threshold of the second time, forgoing transmitting the signal to the second device,
- wherein the signal is configured to provide input to a user interface display of a wearable head device comprising a second sensor, and wherein the signal is based further on an output of the second sensor.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
- receiving, from a first sensor at a first time, an indication of a movement of a housing of a device, the housing comprising an interactive control element;
- receiving, at a second time different from the first time, an indication of an identity of a user of the device;
- in accordance with a detection that a finger of the user is in proximity of the interactive control element at the first time, and further in accordance with a determination that the first time is within a predetermined threshold of the second time, transmitting a signal to a second device, the signal based on the movement of the housing;
- and
- in accordance with a detection that the finger is not in proximity of the interactive control element at the first time, or in accordance with a determination that the first time is not within the predetermined threshold of the second time, forgoing transmitting the signal to the second device,
- wherein the signal is configured to provide input to a user interface display of a wearable head device comprising a second sensor, and wherein the signal is based further on an output of the second sensor.
