An input device and method with grasp detection are provided. The input device includes a display having a sensing region with a plurality of sensing electrodes. The input device also includes a rotatable interface. The rotatable interface includes interface electrodes configured to signal rotation of the rotatable interface. The input device also includes a processing system, which is configured to drive a first plurality of sensing electrodes with sensing signals during a first sensing period; determine, from first resulting signals, grasp of the rotatable interface; drive a second plurality of sensing electrodes with sensing signals during a second sensing period; and determine, from second resulting signals, rotation of the rotatable interface.
An input device, comprising:
A rotatable interface, comprising:
A method for a detecting user input to a rotatable interface, which at least partially overlaps a sensing region of a display, the method comprising:
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
