Abstract
A smart watch including a wireless communication unit configured to provide wireless communication; a battery configured to supply power to the smart watch; a base including a display configured to display information; first and second bands connected to the base such that the smart watch is attachable to a wrist of a user; and a processor configured to receive a palm touch input of the user on the display, and change a current status of the smart watch based on the received palm touch input.
Claims19
A smart watch comprising:
- a wireless communication unit configured to provide wireless communication;
- a battery configured to supply power to the smart watch;
- a base including a display configured to display information;
- first and second bands connected to the base such that the smart watch is attachable to a wrist of a user;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive a palm touch input of the user on the display that covers the entire display,
- calculate a sum of a recognition strength of one or more areas of a palm touching a touch panel of the display,
- determine the palm touch input is a palm touch when the calculated sum of the recognition strength is greater than a size, which is previously determined, and
- change a current status of the smart watch based on the received palm touch input.
A method of controlling a smart watch including a processor, a battery configured to supply power to the smart watch, a base including a display configured to display information, and first and second bands connected to the base such that the smart watch is attachable to a wrist of a user, the method comprising:
- providing wireless communication via a wireless communication unit;
- supplying power to the smart watch via the battery;
- displaying information on the display;
- receiving, via a process or the smart watch, a palm touch input of the user on the display covering the entire display,
- calculating, via the processor, a sum of a recognition strength of one or more areas of a palm touching a touch panel of the display,
- determining, via the processor, the palm touch input is a palm touch when the calculated sum of the recognition strength is greater than a size, which is previously determined, and
- changing, via the processor, a current status of the smart watch based on the received palm touch input.
