Activation force detected via neuromuscular-signal sensors of a wearable device, and systems and methods of use thereof

A method of providing a force dimension to interface elements, the method comprising:

• communicatively coupling a wearable device that includes one or more neuromuscular-signal sensors with an activatable device that includes a physical user interface element and does not include a display;
• in accordance with an activation of the physical user interface element, obtaining data from the one or more neuromuscular-signal sensors that corresponds to the activation;
• determining, based on the data from the one or more neuromuscular-signal sensors, whether the activation of the physical user interface element includes an activation force that meets one or more predefined criteria;
• in accordance with a determination that the activation of the physical user interface element includes the activation force that meets the one or more predefined criteria, causing execution of a first function corresponding to the physical user interface element;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the activation of the physical user interface element does not include the activation force that meets the one or more predefined criteria, causing execution of a second function corresponding to the physical user interface element, wherein the second function is different from the first function.

A wearable device, comprising:

• one or more neuromuscular-signal sensors;
• control circuitry;
• memory;
• and
• one or more sets of instructions stored in the memory and configured for execution by the control circuitry, the one or more sets of instructions comprising instructions for:
• communicatively coupling with an activatable device that includes a mechanical user interface element;
• in accordance with an activation of the mechanical user interface element, obtaining data from the one or more neuromuscular-signal sensors that corresponds to the activation;
• determining, based on the data from the one or more neuromuscular-signal sensors, whether the activation of the mechanical user interface element includes an activation force that meets one or more predefined criteria;
• in accordance with a determination that the activation of the mechanical user interface element includes the activation force that meets the one or more predefined criteria, causing execution of a first function corresponding to the mechanical user interface element;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the activation of the mechanical user interface element does not include the activation force that meets the one or more predefined criteria, causing execution of a second function corresponding to the mechanical user interface element, wherein the second function is different from the first function.
