  The following disclosure relates generally to wearable electronic devices, and more particularly to an interface for wearable electronic devices.

  Advanced personal electronics can have a small form factor. These personal electronic devices may include, but are not limited to, tablets and smartphones. The use of such personal electronics involves the manipulation of user interface objects on the display screen which also have a small form factor to complement the design of the personal electronics.

  Exemplary operations that the user can perform on the personal electronic device include navigating the hierarchy, selecting a user interface object, adjusting the position, size, and zoom of the user interface object, or One may cite operating the user interface in other ways. Exemplary user interface objects include digital images, videos, text, icons, maps, control elements such as buttons, and other graphics. Users can perform such operations within software execution platforms such as image management software, video editing software, word processing software, operating system desktops, website browsing software, and other environments.

  Existing methods for manipulating user interface objects on touch sensitive displays of miniaturized size can be inefficient. Furthermore, in general, the accuracy provided by existing methods is not as high as desired.

  The present disclosure relates to manipulating a user interface on a wearable electronic device using a mechanical crown. In some examples, the user interface can scroll or scale in response to the rotation of the crown. The direction of scrolling or scaling as well as the amount of scrolling or scaling can depend on the direction and amount of rotation of the crown respectively. In some instances, the amount of scrolling or scaling can be proportional to the change in the angle of rotation of the crown. In another example, the scroll speed or scaling speed can depend on the angular rotation speed of the crown. In these examples, higher rotational speeds may cause higher scroll speeds or scaling speeds to be performed on the displayed view.

  In the following disclosure and the description of the examples, reference is made to the accompanying drawings in which specific examples that can be implemented are illustrated. It is to be understood that other examples can be implemented and structural changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

  The present disclosure relates to manipulating a user interface on a wearable electronic device using a mechanical crown. In some examples, the user interface can scroll or scale in response to the rotation of the crown. The direction of scrolling or scaling as well as the amount of scrolling or scaling can depend on the direction and amount of rotation of the crown respectively. In some instances, the amount of scrolling or scaling can be proportional to the change in the angle of rotation of the crown. In another example, the scroll speed or scaling speed can depend on the angular rotation speed of the crown. In these examples, higher rotational speeds may cause higher scroll speeds or scaling speeds to be performed on the displayed view.

  FIG. 1 shows an exemplary personal electronic device 100. In the illustrated example, the device 100 is a portable watch that generally includes a body 102 and a strap 104 for attaching the device 100 to a user's body. That is, the device 100 is wearable. The body 102 can be designed to couple with the strap 104. The device 100 may have a touch sensitive display screen (hereinafter touch screen) 106 and a crown 108. Device 100 may also have buttons 110, 112 and 114.

  By convention, the term "crown" in the context of a mobile watch refers to a cap on a mandrel for winding the mobile watch. In the context of personal electronics, the crown may be a physical component of the electronics, not a virtual crown on a touch sensitive display. The crown 108 can be mechanical. That is, it can be connected to a sensor for converting the physical movement of the crown into an electrical signal. The crown 108 can rotate in two rotational directions (e.g., forward and backward). The crown 108 can also be pushed towards and / or pulled away from the body of the device 100. The crown 108 can be touch sensitive, for example, using capacitive touch technology that can detect if the user is touching the crown. Still further, the crown 108 can further be rocked in one or more directions, or translated along a trajectory along the edge, or at least partially around the periphery of the body 102. In some instances, more than one crown can be used. The visual appearance of the crown 108 can be similar to that of a conventional portable watch, but need not. The buttons 110, 112 and 114, if included, can each be a physical button or a touch sensitive button. That is, the button may be, for example, a physical button or a capacitive button. Furthermore, the body 102, which can include a bezel, may have a predetermined area on the bezel that performs the function of a button.

  Display 106 is a touch sensor panel implemented using any desired touch sensing technology, such as mutual capacitive touch sensing, self-capacitive touch sensing, resistive touch sensing, projected scan touch sensing, or the like. Liquid crystal display (LCD), light-emitting diode (LED) display, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, or partially or completely positioned behind or in front of Display devices such as the like can be included. The display 106 can allow the user to perform various functions by hovering near and touching the touch sensor panel using one or more fingers or other objects. .

  In some examples, the device 100 can further include one or more pressure sensors (not shown) to detect the amount of force or pressure applied to the display. The amount of force or pressure applied to the display 106 is any desired, such as making a selection, entering or leaving a menu, producing an indication of additional options / actions, or the like. Can be used as an input to the device 100 to perform the In some instances, different actions may be performed based on the amount of force or pressure being applied to the display 106. One or more pressure sensors can further be used to determine the position at which force is being applied to the display 106.

  FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of some of the components of device 100. As shown, the crown 108 can be coupled to the encoder 204. The encoder 204 monitors the physical state of the crown 108 or changes in physical state (eg, position of the crown) and converts it into electrical signals (eg, position of the crown 108, or changes in position) Can be configured to provide the signal to processor 202). For example, in some examples, encoder 204 may be configured to sense an absolute rotational position (eg, an angle of 0 to 360 degrees) of crown 108 and output an analog or digital representation of this position to processor 202. Can. Alternatively, in another example, encoder 204 senses a change in rotational position of crown 108 (eg, a change in rotational angle) over some sampling period, and provides an analog or digital representation of the sensed change to processor 202. It can be configured to output. In these examples, the crown position information may further indicate the direction of rotation of the crown (eg, a positive value may correspond to one direction, a negative value may correspond to the other). In yet other examples, encoder 204 may be configured to detect rotation of crown 108 in any desired manner (eg, velocity, acceleration, or the like), and may provide crown rotation information to processor 202. Can be provided. The rotational speed can be expressed in a number of ways. For example, the rotation speed is Hertz, rotation per unit time (rotation), rotation per frame (rotation), rotation per unit time (revolution), rotation per frame (revolution), It can be expressed by the direction and speed of rotation, such as the change of angle per unit time, and the like. In the alternative, instead of providing the information to processor 202, this information may be provided to other components of device 100. Although the examples described herein refer to utilizing the rotational position of crown 108 to control the scrolling or scaling of the view, using any other physical state of crown 108 I want you to understand what you can do.

  In some instances, the physical state of the crown can control the physical attributes of the display 106. For example, if the crown 108 is in a particular position (e.g., rotated forward), the z-axis traversal capability of the display 106 may be limited. In other words, the physical state of the crown can represent the physical mode functionality of the display 106. In some instances, the time attribute of the physical state of crown 108 may be used as an input to device 100. For example, fast changes in physical state can be interpreted differently from slow changes in physical state.

  Processor 202 can be further coupled to receive input signals from buttons 110, 112, and 114, as well as touch signals from touch sensitive display 106. The processor 202 can be configured to interpret these input signals and output appropriate display signals for the touch sensitive display 106 to generate an image. Although a single processor 202 is shown, it should be understood that any number of processors or other computing devices may be used to perform the general functions described above.

  FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary process 300 for scrolling through a displayed set of applications using a crown in accordance with various examples. In some examples, process 300 may be performed by wearable electronics similar to device 100. In these examples, visual representations (eg, icons, graphical images, text images, and the like) of one or more of the set of applications may be displayed on the display 106 of the device 100, the crown Process 300 may be performed to visually scroll the set of applications by sequentially displaying the applications in response to the rotation of 108. In some instances, scrolling may be performed by translating the displayed content along a fixed axis.

  At block 302, crown position information may be received. In some examples, the crown position information may include an analog or digital representation of the absolute position of the crown, such as an angle of 0-360 degrees. In another example, the crown position information may include an analog or digital representation of a change in rotational position of the crown, such as a change in rotation angle. For example, an encoder similar to encoder 204 may be coupled to a crown similar to crown 108 to monitor and measure its position. The encoder may convert the position of the crown 108 into crown position information that may be transmitted to a processor similar to the processor 202.

  At block 304, it may be determined whether a change in position has been detected. In some instances, where the crown position information includes the absolute position of the crown, determining whether a change in position has occurred may be performed by comparing the positions of the crown at two different time instances Can. For example, the processor (e.g., processor 202) may direct the nearest position of the crown (e.g., crown 108) as indicated by the crown position information to the front of the crown as indicated by the previously received crown position information. It can be compared with the position of (for example, just before). If the position is the same or within a threshold (eg, a value corresponding to the tolerance of the encoder), it can be determined that no change in position has occurred. However, if the positions are not the same or differ by at least a threshold, it can be determined that a change in position has occurred. In another example, if the crown position information includes a change in position over time of some length, it may be determined whether a change in position has occurred if the absolute value of the change in position is equal to 0 Or by determining whether it is less than a threshold (eg, a value corresponding to the tolerance of the encoder). If the absolute value of the change in position is equal to 0 or less than the threshold value, it can be determined that no change in position has occurred. However, when the absolute value of the change in position is greater than 0 or a threshold, it can be determined that the change in position has occurred.

  If at block 304 it is determined that no change in crown position has been detected, the process may return to block 302 where new crown position information may be received. However, if, instead, it is determined at block 304 that a change in crown position has been detected, then the process may proceed to block 306. As described herein, a positive determination at block 304 can cause the process to proceed to block 306, while a negative determination can cause the process to return to block 302. However, the determination performed at block 304 is reversed such that a positive determination may cause the process to return to block 302, while a negative determination may cause the process to proceed to block 306. I want you to understand what you can do. For example, block 304 may alternatively determine if a change in position has not been detected.

  At block 306, at least a portion of the set of applications may be scrolled based on the detected change in position. The set of applications can include any ordered or unordered set of applications. For example, the set of applications may include all applications stored on the wearable electronic device, all open applications on the wearable electronic device, a user selected set of applications, or the like. In addition, applications can be ordered based on frequency of use, user-defined ordering, relevance, or any other desired ordering.

  In some examples, block 306 can include visually scrolling the set of applications by sequentially displaying the applications in response to changes in the detected position of the crown. For example, a display (e.g., display 106) can be displaying one or more of the set of applications. In response to detecting a change in position of the crown (e.g., crown 108), one or more currently displayed applications are translated out of the display and one or more other applications are parallel on the display You can make room for being moved. In some instances, one or more other applications translated onto the display may display the display based on their relative ordering within the set of applications, corresponding to the direction opposite to the direction of the translation. Can be selected for. The direction of translation may depend on the direction of change in position of the crown. For example, turning the crown clockwise may cause scrolling of the display in one direction, while turning the crown counterclockwise may cause display scrolling in a second (eg, opposite) direction. Scrolling can occur. In addition, the distance or speed of scrolling can depend on the amount of detected change in the position of the crown. The scroll distance can refer to the distance on the screen where the content is scrolled. The speed of scrolling can refer to the distance the content is scrolled over a length of time. In some instances, the distance or speed of scrolling may be proportional to the amount of rotation detected. For example, the scroll amount corresponding to a half turn of the crown can be equal to 50% of the scroll amount corresponding to one turn of the crown. In some instances where the set of applications includes an ordered list of applications, scrolling can stop in response to reaching the end of the list. In another example, scrolling can be continued by looping around the opposite end of the list of applications. Thereafter, the process may return to block 302 where new crown position information may be received.

  It should be understood that the actual values used to linearly map changes in crown position to scroll distance or speed may vary depending on the desired functionality of the device. Further, it should be understood that other correspondences between scroll amount or speed and change in position of the crown can be used. For example, acceleration, velocity (described in more detail below with respect to FIGS. 21-44), or the like may be used to determine the distance or speed of scrolling. In addition, non-linear correspondence between crown characteristics (eg, position, velocity, acceleration, etc.) and scroll amount or scroll speed can be used.

  To further illustrate the operation of process 300, FIG. 4 has portions of visual representations (eg, icons, graphical images, text images, and the like) of application 406, and visual representations of applications 404 and 408, 7 shows an exemplary interface of device 100. Applications 404, 406, and 408 may be any number of ordered or unordered applications (eg, all applications on device 100, all open applications on device 100, user favorites, or And the like) can be part of a set of applications including any group. At block 302 of process 300, processor 202 of device 100 may receive crown position information from encoder 204. Because the crown 108 is not rotated in FIG. 4, a negative determination may be made by the processor 202 at block 304 so that the process returns to block 302.

  Referring now to FIG. 5, the crown 108 has been rotated upward as indicated by the direction of rotation 502. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 302 of process 300, again as before. Thus, processor 202 can make a positive determination at block 304, which causes the process to proceed to block 306. At block 306, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to scroll at least a portion of the set of applications on the device 100. The scroll may have a scroll direction 504 that corresponds to the direction of rotation 502 of the crown 108, as well as a scroll amount or speed based on characteristics of the rotation of the crown 108 (eg, distance, velocity, acceleration, or the like). In the illustrated example, the scroll distance can be proportional to the amount of rotation of the crown 108. As shown, the display 106 can scroll the set of applications by translating the scroll direction 504 into a visual representation of the application. As a result, application 408 is completely evicted from display 106, application 406 is partially expelled from display 106, and application 404 is displayed on display 106 in a larger portion. As the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 502, processor 202 may continue to cause display 106 to scroll the view of the set of applications in scroll direction 504, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, application 406 is barely visible to the right of display 106, application 404 is centered within display 106, and newly displayed application 402 is displayed to the left of display 106. In this example, application 402 can be another application in the set of applications, and can have an ordered position to the left or in front of application 404. In some instances, if the application 402 is the first application in the list of applications and the user continues to rotate the crown 108 in the direction of rotation 502, the processor 202 positions the application 402 centered in the display If so, scrolling of the display 106 can be restricted to stop scrolling. Alternatively, in another example, processor 202 continues to scroll display 106 by looping to the end of the set of applications, and the last application (eg, application 408) of the set of applications is left of application 402. Can be displayed.

  Referring now to FIG. 7, the crown 108 has been rotated in a downward rotational direction 506. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 302 of process 300, again as before. Thus, processor 202 can make a positive determination at block 304, which causes the process to proceed to block 306. At block 306, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to scroll the view of the application in a scroll direction 508 that corresponds to the rotation direction 506. In the present example, the scroll direction 508 is the opposite of the scroll direction 504. However, it should be understood that the scroll direction 508 can be any desired direction. Similar to the scroll performed in response to the rotation of crown 108 in direction of rotation 502, the scroll performed in response to rotation of crown 108 in direction of rotation 506 has characteristics of rotation of crown 108 (e.g., distance, velocity, acceleration) Or the like). In the illustrated example, the scroll distance can be proportional to the amount of rotation of the crown 108. As shown, the display 106 can scroll the set of applications by translating the scroll direction 508 into a visual representation of the application. As a result, application 402 is completely evicted from display 106, application 404 is partially expelled from display 106, and application 406 is displayed on display 106 in a larger portion. As the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 506, processor 202 may continue to cause display 106 to scroll the view of the set of applications in scroll direction 508, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, application 404 is barely visible to the left of display 106, application 406 is centered within display 106, and application 408 is again displayed to the right of display 106. In some instances, if application 408 is the last application in the list of applications and the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 508, processor 202 will center application 408 in the display. And the scrolling of the display 106 can be restricted to stop the scrolling. Alternatively, in another example, processor 202 may continue to scroll display 106 by looping to the beginning of the set of applications, the first application of the set of applications (eg, application 402) to the right of applications 408. Can be displayed.

  Although specific scrolling examples are provided, it should be understood that the mechanical crown of the wearable electronics can be used in a similar manner to scroll other representations of the application as well. In addition, the distance or speed of the scroll can be configured to depend on any property of the crown.

  FIG. 9 illustrates an exemplary process 900 for scrolling a view of a display using a crown in accordance with various examples. A view can include a visual representation of any type of data that is displayed. For example, the view can include a display of text, media items, web pages, maps, or the like. Process 900 may be similar to process 300 except that process 900 may be more generally applied to any type of content or view displayed on the display of the device. In some examples, process 900 may be performed by wearable electronics similar to device 100. In these examples, content or any other view may be displayed on the display 106 of the device 100, and the process 900 may be performed to visually scroll the view in response to rotation of the crown 108. Can. In some instances, scrolling may be performed by translating the displayed content along a fixed axis.

  At block 902, crown position information may be received in a manner similar or identical to that described above for block 302. For example, crown position information may be received by a processor (eg, processor 202) from an encoder (eg, encoder 204), the absolute position of the crown, a change in rotational position of the crown, or other position information of the crown. It can include analog or digital representations.

  At block 904, it may be determined whether a change in position has been detected in a manner similar or identical to that described above for block 304. For example, block 904 can include comparing the positions of the crowns at two different time instances, or determining whether the absolute value of the change in crown position is equal to zero or below a threshold. Can be included. If a change in position is not detected, the process can return to block 902. Alternatively, if a change in position is detected, the process may proceed to block 906. As described herein, a positive determination at block 904 can cause the process to proceed to block 906, while a negative determination can cause the process to return to block 902. However, the determination performed at block 904 is reversed such that a positive determination may cause the process to return to block 902 while a negative determination may cause the process to proceed to block 906. I want you to understand what you can do. For example, block 904 may alternatively determine if a change in position has not been detected.

  At block 906, the view of the display may be scrolled based on the detected change in position. Similar to block 306 of process 300, block 906 may include visually scrolling the view by translating the view of the display in response to changes in the detected position of the crown. For example, a display (eg, display 106) may be displaying a portion of some content. In response to detecting a change in the position of the crown (eg, the crown 108), the currently displayed portion of the content is translated out of the display for other portions of the content not previously displayed. Space for The direction of translation may depend on the direction of change in position of the crown. For example, turning the crown clockwise may cause scrolling of the display in one direction, while turning the crown counterclockwise may cause display scrolling in a second (eg, opposite) direction. Scrolling can occur. In addition, the distance or speed of scrolling can depend on the amount of detected change in the position of the crown. In some instances, the distance or speed of scrolling may be proportional to the amount of rotation detected. For example, the scroll amount corresponding to a half turn of the crown can be equal to 50% of the scroll amount corresponding to one turn of the crown. Thereafter, the process may return to block 902 where new crown position information may be received.

  It should be understood that the actual values used to linearly map changes in crown position to scroll distance or speed may vary depending on the desired functionality of the device. Furthermore, it should be understood that other correspondences between scroll amounts and changes in position can be used. For example, acceleration, velocity (described in more detail below with respect to FIGS. 21-44), or the like may be used to determine the distance or speed of scrolling. In addition, non-linear correspondence between crown characteristics (eg, position, velocity, acceleration, etc.) and scroll amount or scroll speed can be used.

  To further illustrate the operation of process 900, FIG. 10 shows an exemplary interface of device 100 with a visual representation of a line of text including numbers 1-9. At block 902 of process 900, the processor 202 of the device 100 can receive crown position information from the encoder 204. Because the crown 108 has not been rotated in FIG. 10, a negative determination may be made by the processor 202 at block 904 so that the process returns to block 902.

  Referring now to FIG. 11, the crown 108 has been rotated in an upward rotational direction 1102. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 902 of process 900, again as described above. Thus, processor 202 can make a positive determination at block 904, which causes the process to proceed to block 906. At block 906, the processor 202 can cause the display 106 to scroll the line of text being displayed on the display 106. The scroll may have a scroll direction 1104 corresponding to the direction of rotation 1102 of the crown 108, as well as a scroll amount or speed based on characteristics of rotation of the crown 108 (eg, distance, velocity, acceleration, or the like). In the illustrated example, the scroll distance can be proportional to the amount of rotation of the crown 108. As shown, the display 106 can scroll the lines of text by translating the text in the scroll direction 1104. As a result, a portion of row 1002 is evicted from display 106 while a portion of row 1004 is newly displayed on the bottom of display 106. The line of text between lines 1002 and 1004 is similarly translated in scroll direction 1104. As the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 1102, processor 202 may continue to cause display 106 to scroll a line of text in scroll direction 1104 as shown in FIG. In FIG. 12, row 1002 is no longer visible in display 106, and row 1004 is now completely within the view of display 106. In some instances, if line 1004 is the last line of text and the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 1102, processor 202 causes line 1004 to be completely displayed in display 106. And the scrolling of the display 106 can be restricted to stop the scrolling. In another example, processor 202 may continue to scroll display 106 by looping to the beginning of a line of text, causing the first line of text (eg, line 1002) to be displayed below line 1004. In yet another example, performing a rubber banding effect by displaying a margin below the line 1004, flipping the line of text back when the crown 108 stops rotating, and aligning the line 1004 to the bottom of the display 106. Can. It should be understood that the action to be performed in response to reaching the end of the content displayed in display 106 may be selected based on the type of data being displayed.

  Referring now to FIG. 13, the crown 108 has been rotated in a downward rotational direction 1106. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 902 of process 900, again as described above. Thus, processor 202 can make a positive determination at block 904, which causes the process to proceed to block 906. At block 906, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to scroll the line of text in a scroll direction 1108 corresponding to the rotational direction 1106. In this example, the scroll direction 1108 is the opposite direction of the scroll direction 1104. However, it should be understood that the scroll direction 1108 can be any desired direction. Similar to the scroll performed in response to the rotation of crown 108 in direction of rotation 1102, the scroll performed in response to rotation of crown 108 in direction of rotation 1106 has characteristics of rotation of crown 108 (eg, distance, velocity, acceleration) Or the like). In the illustrated example, the scroll distance can be proportional to the amount of rotation of the crown 108. As shown, the display 106 can scroll the lines of text by translating the lines of text in the scroll direction 1108. As a result, a portion of row 1004 can be evicted from display 106 while a portion of row 1002 can be displayed again on the top of display 106. As the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 1106, processor 202 may continue to cause display 106 to scroll lines of text in scroll direction 1108, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, row 1004 is translated and out of display 106, while row 1002 is now completely visible. In some instances, if line 1002 is the first line of text and the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 1106, processor 202 scrolls when line 1002 is at the top of display 106. The scrolling of the display 106 can be restricted to stop the In another example, processor 202 may continue to scroll display 106 by looping to the end of the line of text, causing the last line of text (eg, line 1004) to be displayed above line 1002. In yet another example, performing a rubber banding effect by displaying a margin over line 1002, flipping the line of text back when the crown 108 stops rotating, and aligning line 1002 to the top of the display 106. Can. It should be understood that the action to be performed in response to reaching the end of the content displayed in display 106 may be selected based on the type of data being displayed.

  Although specific scrolling examples are provided, mechanical crowns of wearable electronics may be used in a similar manner to similarly scroll other types of data, such as media items, web pages, or the like. Understand that you can do it. In addition, the distance or speed of the scroll can be configured to depend on any property of the crown.

  FIG. 15 illustrates an example process 1500 for scaling (eg, zooming in or out) a view of a display using a crown in accordance with various examples. A view can include a visual representation of any type of data that is displayed. For example, the view can include a display of text, media items, web pages, maps, or the like. Process 1500 includes processes 300 and 900, except that instead of scrolling through the application or scrolling the view of the instrument, the view can be scaled positively or negatively as the crown rotates. It can be similar. In some examples, process 1500 may be performed by wearable electronics similar to device 100. In these examples, content or any other view may be displayed on the display 106 of the device 100, and the process 1500 may be performed to visually scale the view as the crown 108 rotates. Can.

  At block 1502, crown position information may be received in a manner similar or identical to that described above with respect to block 302 or 902. For example, crown position information may be received by a processor (eg, processor 202) from an encoder (eg, encoder 204), the absolute position of the crown, a change in rotational position of the crown, or other position information of the crown. It can include analog or digital representations.

  At block 1504, it may be determined whether a change in position has been detected, in a manner similar or identical to that described above with respect to block 304 or 904. For example, block 1504 may include comparing the positions of the crowns at two different time instances, or determining whether the absolute value of the change in crown position is equal to zero or below a threshold. Can be included. If a change in position is not detected, the process may return to block 1502. Alternatively, if a change in position is detected, the process may proceed to block 1506. As described herein, a positive determination at block 1504 can cause the process to proceed to block 1506, while a negative determination can cause the process to return to block 1502. However, the determination performed at block 1504 is reversed such that a positive determination can cause the process to return to block 1502, while a negative determination can cause the process to proceed to block 1506. I want you to understand what you can do. For example, block 1504 may alternatively determine whether a change in position has not been detected.

  At block 1506, the view of the display may be scaled based on the detected change in position. Block 1506 can include visually scaling the view (eg, zoom in / zoom out) in response to the detected change in position of the crown. For example, a display (eg, display 106) may be displaying a portion of some content. By detecting the change in position of the crown (eg, the crown 108), the size of the currently displayed portion of the content in the view is increased or decreased according to the direction of the change in position of the crown , Can scale the view. For example, turning the crown clockwise can increase the size of the content in the view of the display (eg, zoom in), while turning the crown counterclockwise turns the content in the view of the display The size can be reduced (eg zoom out). In addition, the amount or speed of scaling can be dependent on the amount of detected change in the position of the crown. In some instances, the amount or speed of scaling can be proportional to the amount of detected rotation of the crown. For example, the scaling amount corresponding to a half turn of the crown can be equal to 50% of the scaling amount corresponding to one turn of the crown. Thereafter, the process may return to block 1502, where new crown position information may be received.

  It should be understood that the actual values used to linearly map changes in crown position to the amount or speed of scaling can vary depending on the desired functionality of the device. Furthermore, it should be understood that other correspondences between scaling amounts and changes in position can be used. For example, acceleration, velocity (described in more detail below with respect to FIGS. 21-44), or the like may be used to determine the amount or speed of scaling. In addition, a non-linear mapping between crown characteristics (eg, position, velocity, acceleration, etc.) and scaling amount or scaling speed can be used.

  To further illustrate the operation of process 1500, FIG. 16 shows an exemplary interface of device 100 showing triangle 1602. FIG. At block 1502 of process 1500, processor 202 of device 100 may receive crown position information from encoder 204. Because the crown 108 is not rotated in FIG. 16, a negative determination may be made by the processor 202 at block 1504 so that the process returns to block 1502.

  Referring now to FIG. 17, the crown 108 has been rotated in an upward rotational direction 1702. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 1502 of process 1500, again as before. Thus, processor 202 may make an affirmative determination at block 1504 such that the process proceeds to block 1506. At block 1506, the processor 202 can cause the display 106 to scale the view displayed on the display 106. The scaling can increase or decrease the size of the view depending on the direction of rotation of the crown 108, and a scaling amount or speed based on characteristics of rotation of the crown 108 (eg, distance, velocity, acceleration, or the like) You can have In the illustrated example, the scaling amount can be proportional to the amount of rotation of the crown 108. As shown, the display 106 can scale the view encompassing the triangle 1602 with positive magnification. As a result, triangle 1602 in FIG. 17 looks larger than that shown in FIG. As the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 1702, processor 202 causes display 106 to continue scaling the view encompassing the image of triangle 1602 using positive magnification, as shown in FIG. Can. In FIG. 18, triangle 1602 appears larger than that shown in FIGS. When the rotation of the crown 108 stops, the scaling of the view that includes the triangle 1602 can stop as well. In some examples, if the view of triangle 1602 is scaled to its maximum amount, and the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 1702, processor 202 may limit the scaling of display 106. In yet another example, the size of the view encompassing triangle 1602 can be increased to a rubber banding limit that is greater than the maximum scaling amount for the view, and then the view's in response to stopping of crown 108 rotation. The rubber banding effect can be implemented by flipping the size back to its maximum scaling amount. It should be understood that the actions performed in response to reaching the scaling limit of display 106 may be configured in any desired manner.

  Referring now to FIG. 19, the crown 108 has been rotated in a downward rotational direction 1704. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 1502 of process 1500, again as before. Thus, processor 202 may make an affirmative determination at block 1504 such that the process proceeds to block 1506. At block 1506, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to scale the view with a negative magnification factor corresponding to the rotational direction 1704. Similar to the scaling performed in response to rotation of crown 108 in direction of rotation 1702, the scaling performed in response to rotation of crown 108 in direction of rotation 1704 is characteristic of the rotation of crown 108 (eg, distance, velocity, acceleration Or the like). In the illustrated example, the scaling amount can be proportional to the amount of rotation of the crown 108. As shown, the display 106 can scale the view encompassing the image of the triangle 1602 using negative magnification. As a result, triangle 1602 in FIG. 19 is smaller than that shown in FIG. As the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 1704, processor 202 causes display 106 to continue to scale the view of the included image of triangle 1602 using negative magnification, as shown in FIG. Can. In FIG. 20, the triangle 1602 is smaller than that shown in FIGS. When the rotation of the crown 108 stops, the scaling of the view that includes the triangle 1602 can stop as well. In some examples, the processor 202 may limit the scaling of the display 106 if the view encompassing the triangle 1602 is scaled to its minimum amount and the user continues to rotate the crown 108 in the direction of rotation 1704 . In yet another example, allowing the size of the view encompassing triangle 1602 to be reduced to a rubber banding limit smaller than the minimum scaling amount for the view, and then, in response to the stopping of crown 108 rotation, the view The rubber banding effect can be implemented by flipping the size back to its minimum scaling amount. It should be understood that the actions performed in response to reaching the scaling limit of display 106 may be configured in any desired manner.

  Although specific scaling examples are provided, mechanical crowns of wearable electronics may be used in a similar manner to similarly view other types of data, such as media items, web pages, or the like. It should be understood that it can be scaled. In addition, the amount or speed of scaling can be configured to depend on any characteristics of the crown. Furthermore, in some instances, continuing to rotate the crown in the same direction can cause scaling in the opposite direction upon reaching the minimum or maximum scaling of the view. For example, upward rotation of the crown can cause the view to zoom in. However, when the scaling limit is reached, the upward rotation of the crown can then cause the view to scale (e.g., zoom out) in the opposite direction.

  FIG. 21 illustrates an exemplary process 2100 for scrolling the view of the display based on the angular rotation speed of the crown in accordance with various examples. A view can include a visual representation of any type of data that is displayed. For example, the view can include a display of text, media items, web pages, or the like. Process 2100 can be similar to process 900, except that process 2100 can scroll the view based on a scroll speed that is dependent on the angular rotation speed of the crown. In some examples, process 2100 can be performed by wearable electronics similar to device 100. In these examples, content or any other view may be displayed on the display 106 of the device 100, and the process 2100 may be performed to visually scroll the view as the crown 108 rotates. Can. In some instances, scrolling may be performed by translating the displayed content along a fixed axis.

  At block 2102, a view of a display of the wearable electronic device can be displayed. As mentioned above, the view may include any visual representation of any type of data displayed by the display of the device.

  At block 2104, crown position information may be received in a manner similar or identical to that described above with respect to block 902 of process 900. For example, crown position information may be received by a processor (eg, processor 202) from an encoder (eg, encoder 204), the absolute position of the crown, a change in rotational position of the crown, or other position information of the crown. It can include analog or digital representations.

At block 2106, scroll speeds (eg, speed and scroll direction) can be determined. In some instances, scrolling of the view can be determined using physics-based motion modeling. For example, a view can be treated as an object having a moving speed that corresponds to the speed of scrolling across the display of the device. The rotation of the crown can be treated as a force applied to the view in a direction corresponding to the direction of rotation of the crown. Here, the amount of force depends on the angular rotation speed of the crown. For example, a higher angular rotation speed can correspond to the amount of larger force applied to the view. Any desired linear or non-linear correspondence between the angular rotation speed of the crown and the force applied to the view can be used. In addition, drag can be applied in the direction opposite to the scroll direction. This can be used to attenuate the scroll speed with time, allowing the scroll to stop if there is no additional input from the user. Therefore, the scroll speed at discrete times can take the general form:

In Equation 1.1, V _T represents the determined scroll speed (speed and direction) at time T, and V _(T−1) represents the previous scroll speed (speed and direction) at time T−1. , ΔV _CROWN represents the change in velocity caused by the force applied to the view in response to the rotation of the crown, and ΔV _DRAG represents the change in velocity of the view caused by the drag in the opposite direction to the movement of the view (view scroll). . As mentioned above, the force exerted on the view by the crown can depend on the angular rotation speed of the crown. Therefore, ΔV _CROWN can also depend on the angular rotation speed of the crown. Generally, the higher the angular rotation speed of the crown, the larger the value of ΔV _CROWN . However, the actual correspondence between the angular rotation speed of the crown and ΔV _CROWN can be varied depending on the desired user feel of the scroll effect. For example, various linear or non-linear _mappings between the angular rotation speed of the crown and ΔV _CROWN can be used. In some instances, ΔV _DRAG can be dependent on scroll speed, which can produce larger opposite velocity changes at higher speeds. In another example, ΔV _DRAG can have a constant value. However, it should be understood that any fixed or variable amount of reverse velocity change can be used to produce the desired scroll effect. Typically, if there is no user input in the form of ΔV _CROWN , then V _T will be close to 0 (and will be 0) based on ΔV _DRAG according to Equation 1.1, but the crown rotation (ΔV _CROWN Note that V _T will not change sign unless there is a user input in the form of).

As can be seen from equation 1.1, scroll speed can continue to increase as long as ΔV _CROWN is greater than ΔV _DRAG . In addition, the scroll speed can have a non-zero value, even when the ΔV _CROWN input is not received. Therefore, if the view is scrolling at a non-zero speed, it can continue to scroll even if the user does not rotate the crown. The scroll distance and time until the scroll stops can depend on the scroll speed when the user stops rotating the crown and the ΔV _DRAG component.

In some examples, the V _(T-1) component can be reset to a value of 0 when the crown is rotated in a direction corresponding to the scroll direction opposite to the direction in which the view is currently scrolled This allows the user to quickly change the direction of scrolling, without having to provide sufficient force to offset the current scrolling speed of the view.

  At block 2108, the display may be updated based on the scroll speed and direction determined at block 2106. This may include translating the displayed view by an amount corresponding to the determined scroll speed in a direction corresponding to the determined scroll direction. Thereafter, the process may return to block 2104 where additional crown position information may be received.

  It should be understood that blocks 2104, 2106, and 2108 may be repeatedly executed at any desired frequency to continually determine the scroll speed and update the display accordingly.

  To further illustrate the operation of process 2100, FIG. 22 shows an exemplary interface of device 100 with a visual representation of a line of text including numbers 1-9. At block 2102 of process 2100, processor 202 of device 100 may cause display 106 to display the illustrated interface. At block 2104, the processor 202 can receive crown position information from the encoder 204. At block 2106, scroll speed and direction can be determined. Because the current scroll speed is zero and the crown 108 is not currently rotated, the new scroll speed can be determined to be zero using equation 1.1. At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display with the speed and direction determined at block 2106. However, since the speed determined was zero, no changes to the display need be made. For the purpose of illustration, FIGS. 23-29 show subsequent views at different points in time of the interface shown in FIG. Here, the time length between each view is equal.

Referring now to FIG. 23, the crown 108 has been rotated upward at rotational speed 2302. The processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104, again as before. Thus, at block 2106, the processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN to determine a new scroll speed V _T. In this example, the rotation of the crown 108 in the upward direction corresponds to the upward scroll direction. Other orientations can be used in other examples. At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 23, this update causes the text line to translate upward at scroll speed 2304. Because the crown 108 is just beginning to rotate, the rotational speed 2302 can be relatively low compared to the typical rotational speed of the crown. Therefore, the scroll speed 2304 can likewise have a relatively low value compared to the typical or maximum scroll speed. As a result, only a portion of the line of text containing the value "1" is translated out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 24, the crown 108 is being rotated upward at rotational speed 2306, which may be greater than rotational speed 2302. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information from encoder 204 at block 2104, as before. Thus, at block 2106, the processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN to determine a new scroll speed V _T. Since the display previously had a non-zero scroll speed value (eg, as shown in FIG. 23), the new ΔV _CROWN value corresponding to rotational speed 2306 is taken as the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) ( For example, it can be added to the scroll speed 2304). Thus, the new scroll speed 2308 can be greater than the scroll speed 2304 as long as the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. However, if the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 2306 is less than the value of ΔV _DRAG , then the new scroll speed 2308 can be less than the scroll speed 2304. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 24, this update causes the text line to translate upward at scroll speed 2308. The scroll speed 2308 can be greater than the scroll speed 2304 because the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotational speed 2306 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . As a result, the lines of text are translated by a greater distance over the same length of time, so that a single line of text is translated vertically out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 25, the crown 108 is being rotated upward at rotational speed 2310, which may be greater than rotational speed 2306. The processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104, again as before. Thus, at block 2106, the processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN to determine a new scroll speed V _T. Since the display previously had a non-zero scroll speed value (eg, as shown in FIG. 24), the new ΔV _CROWN value corresponding to rotational speed 2310 is taken as the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) ( For example, it can be added to the scroll speed 2308). Thus, the new scroll speed 2312 can be greater than the scroll speed 2308 as long as the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. However, if the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotational speed 2310 is smaller than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the new scroll speed 2312 can be smaller than the scroll speed 2308. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 25, this update causes the text line to be translated upward at scroll speed 2312. Since the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotational speed 2310 is larger than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scroll speed 2312 can be larger than the scroll speed 2308. As a result, the lines of text are translated a greater distance over the same length of time, so that 1.5 lines of text are translated vertically out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 26, the crown 108 is being rotated upward at rotational speed 2314, which may be greater than rotational speed 2310. The processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104, again as before. Thus, at block 2110, the processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN to determine a new scroll speed V _T. Since the display previously had a non-zero scroll speed value (eg, as shown in FIG. 25), the new ΔV _CROWN value corresponding to rotational speed 2314 is taken as the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) ( For example, it can be added to the scroll speed 2312). Thus, the new scroll speed 2316 can be greater than the scroll speed 2312 as long as the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. However, if the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotational speed 2314 is smaller than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the new scroll speed 2316 can be smaller than the scroll speed 2312. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 26, this update causes the text line to translate upward at scroll speed 2316. Because the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 2314 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , scroll speed 2316 can be greater than scroll speed 2312. As a result, the lines of text are translated a greater distance over the same length of time, so that two lines of text are translated vertically out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 27, the crown 108 has not been rotated in any direction. The processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104, again as before. Thus, at block 2110, the processor 202 can determine a new scroll speed V _T based on the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, with scroll speed 2316) and the value of ΔV _DRAG. . Therefore, as long as the previous scroll speed 2316 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scroll speed can have a non-zero value, even when crown rotation is not being performed. However, if the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (eg, with scroll speed 2316) is equal to the value of ΔV _DRAG , then the scroll speed may have a value of zero. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (e.g., with scroll speed 2316) is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 27, this update causes the text line to be translated upward at scroll speed 2318. Because ΔV _DRAG can have a non-zero value, and because the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, with scroll speed 2316) can be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , Speed 2318 can have a non-zero value less than scroll speed 2316. As a result, the lines of text are translated a shorter distance over the same length of time, so that 1.5 lines of text are translated vertically out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 28, the crown 108 has not been rotated in any direction. The processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104, again as before. Thus, at block 2110, the processor 202 can determine a new scroll speed V _T based on the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, with scroll speed 2318) and the value of ΔV _DRAG. . Therefore, as long as the previous scroll speed 2318 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scroll speed can have a non-zero value, even when no crown rotation is being performed. However, if the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (eg, with scroll speed 2318) is equal to the value of ΔV _DRAG , then the scroll speed may have a value of zero. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (eg, with scroll speed 2318) is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 28, this update causes the text line to be translated upward at scroll speed 2320. Because ΔV _DRAG can have a non-zero value, and because the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, with scroll speed 2318) can be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , Speed 2320 may have a non-zero value less than scroll speed 2318. As a result, the lines of text are translated a shorter distance, for the same length of time, so that one line of text is translated vertically out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 29, the crown 108 has not been rotated in any direction. The processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104, again as before. Thus, at block 2110, the processor 202 can determine a new scroll speed V _T based on the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, with the scroll speed 2320) and the value of ΔV _DRAG. . Thus, as long as the previous scroll speed 2320 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scroll speed can have a non-zero value even when crown rotation is not being performed. However, if the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (eg, with scroll speed 2320) is equal to the value of ΔV _DRAG , then the scroll speed may have a value of zero. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (eg, with scroll speed 2320) is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 29, this update causes the text line to be translated upward at a scroll speed 2322. Because ΔV _DRAG can have a non-zero value, and because the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, with scroll speed 2320) can be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , Speed 2322 may have a non-zero value less than scroll speed 2320. As a result, the lines of text are translated a shorter distance for the same length of time, so that 0.5 lines of text are translated vertically out of the display. This decay of the scroll speed can continue until the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) equals the value of ΔV _DRAG and thereby the scroll speed drops to zero. Alternatively, the scroll speed decay can continue until the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) falls below the threshold, which can then be set to a value of zero.

  To further illustrate the operation of process 2100, FIG. 30 shows an exemplary interface of device 100 with a visual representation of a line of text including numbers 1-9 similar to those shown in FIG. 31-36 illustrate scroll speeds 3104, 3108, 3112, 3116, 3118, and 3120 based on input rotational speeds 3102, 3106, 3110, and 3114 in a manner similar to that described above with respect to FIGS. Shows the scrolling of the display at. Therefore, the time lengths between subsequent views shown in FIGS. 31-36 are equal. For the purpose of illustration, FIGS. 37-40 show subsequent views at different points in time of the interface shown in FIG. Here, the time length between each view is equal.

In contrast to FIG. 29, where no rotational input was received, in FIG. 37 a downward rotation with rotational speed 3702 can be performed. In this example, processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this downward rotation from encoder 204 at block 2104 as before. At block 2106, processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN to determine a new scroll speed V _T. Since the downward rotation of crown 108 is in the opposite direction of the scroll shown in FIG. 36, the value of ΔV _CROWN should have a polarity opposite to that of the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) it can. In some examples, the new scroll speed V _T is added by adding a new ΔV _CROWN value (with opposite polarity) to the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) and subtracting the value of ΔV _DRAG It can be calculated. In other examples, such as that shown in FIG. 37, if the rotation of crown 108 is in the opposite direction to that of the previous scroll (eg, if the polarity of ΔV _CROWN is opposite to that of V _(T−1) ) The previous scroll speed value V _(T-1) can be set to zero. This can be done to allow the user to quickly change the scroll direction without having to offset the previous scroll speed. At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 37, this update causes the text line to translate downward at scroll speed 3704. Because the crown 108 is just beginning to rotate, the rotational speed 3702 can be relatively low compared to the typical rotational speed of the crown. Therefore, the scroll speed 3704 can likewise have a relatively low value compared to the typical or maximum scroll speed. As a result, relatively slow scrolling can be performed whereby 0.5 lines of text are translated vertically and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 38, the crown 108 is being rotated downward at rotational speed 3706, which may be greater than rotational speed 3702. The processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104, again as before. Thus, at block 2106, the processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN to determine a new scroll speed V _T. Since the display previously had a non-zero scroll speed value (eg, as shown in FIG. 37), the new ΔV _CROWN value corresponding to rotational speed 3706 is taken as the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) ( For example, it can be added to the scroll speed 3704). Thus, the new scroll speed 3708 can be greater than the scroll speed 3704 as long as the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. However, if the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotational speed 3706 is smaller than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the new scroll speed 3708 can be smaller than the scroll speed 3704. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 38, this update causes the text line to translate downward at scroll speed 3708. Because the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 3706 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , scroll speed 3708 can be greater than scroll speed 3704. As a result, the lines of text are translated by a greater distance over the same length of time, so that a single line of text is translated vertically out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 39, the crown 108 is being rotated downward at rotational speed 3710, which may be greater than rotational speed 3706. The processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104, again as before. Thus, at block 2106, the processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN to determine a new scroll speed V _T. Since the display previously had a non-zero scroll speed value (eg, as shown in FIG. 38), the new ΔV _CROWN value corresponding to rotational speed 3710 is taken as the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) ( For example, it can be added to the scroll speed 3708). Therefore, the new scroll speed 3712 can be greater than the scroll speed 3708 as long as the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. However, if the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotational speed 3710 is smaller than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the new scroll speed 3712 can be smaller than the scroll speed 3708. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 39, this update causes the text line to translate downward at scroll speed 3712. Since the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotational speed 3710 is larger than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scroll speed 3712 can be larger than the scroll speed 3708. As a result, the lines of text are translated a greater distance over the same length of time, so that 1.5 lines of text are translated vertically out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 40, the crown 108 is being rotated downward at rotational speed 3714, which may be greater than rotational speed 3710. The processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104, again as before. Thus, at block 2110, the processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN to determine a new scroll speed V _T. Since the display previously had a non-zero scroll speed value (eg, as shown in FIG. 39), the new ΔV _CROWN value corresponding to rotational speed 3714 corresponds to the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) ( For example, it can be added to the scroll speed 3712). Therefore, the new scroll speed 3716 can be greater than the scroll speed 3712 as long as the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. However, if the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotational speed 3714 is smaller than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the new scroll speed 3716 can be smaller than the scroll speed 3712. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 40, this update causes the text line to translate downward at scroll speed 3716. Because the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 3714 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , scroll speed 3716 can be greater than scroll speed 3712. As a result, the lines of text are translated a greater distance over the same length of time, so that two lines of text are translated vertically out of the display.

Although not shown, if the rotation of the crown 108 stops, the view can continue to scroll downward, in a manner similar to that described above with respect to FIGS. The speed and amount of scrolling that can be performed can depend on the scrolling speed when the rotation of the crown 108 stops and the values used for ΔV _DRAG .

  Although a specific scrolling example is provided, process 2100 may be used in a similar manner to similarly scroll other types of data, such as media items, web pages, applications, or the like. I want you to understand. For example, process 2100 may execute to scroll through the list of applications in a manner similar to that described above for process 300. However, the speed of scrolling the application when using process 2100 may depend on the angular rotation speed of the crown.

  FIG. 41 illustrates an exemplary process 4100 for scaling the view of the display based on the angular rotation rate of the crown in accordance with various examples. A view can include a visual representation of any type of data that is displayed. For example, the view can include a display of text, media items, web pages, or the like. Process 4100 is similar to process 2100 except that process 4100 can determine scaling speed (eg, amount and direction of change in size per unit time) rather than determining scroll speed. Can be. Although the amounts to be determined are different, they can be determined in a similar manner. In some examples, process 4100 may be performed by wearable electronics similar to device 100. In these examples, content or any other view may be displayed on the display 106 of the device 100, and the process 4100 may be performed to visually scale the view as the crown 108 rotates. Can.

  At block 4102, a view of a display of the wearable electronic device can be displayed. As mentioned above, the view may include any visual representation of any type of data displayed by the display of the device.

  At block 4104, crown position information may be received in a manner similar or identical to that described above with respect to block 902 of process 900. For example, crown position information may be received by a processor (eg, processor 202) from an encoder (eg, encoder 204), the absolute position of the crown, a change in rotational position of the crown, or other position information of the crown. It can include analog or digital representations.

At block 4106, scaling rates (eg, speed and positive / negative scaling directions) can be determined. In some examples, the scaling of the view can be determined using physics-based motion modeling. For example, scaling speed can be treated as the speed of a moving object. The rotation of the crown can be treated as a force applied to the object in the direction corresponding to the rotation direction of the crown. Here, the amount of force depends on the speed of angular rotation of the crown. As a result, the scaling speed can be increased or decreased and can move in different directions. For example, a higher angular rotation speed can correspond to the amount of larger force applied to the object. Any desired linear or non-linear correspondence between angular rotation speed and force applied to the object can be used. In addition, drag can be applied in the direction opposite to the direction of movement (eg, scaling). This can be used to attenuate the scaling rate over time, allowing scaling to stop if there is no additional input from the user. Therefore, the scaling rate at discrete time points can take the general form:

In Equation 1.2, V _T represents the determined scaling speed (speed and direction) at time T, and V _(T−1) represents the previous scaling speed (speed and direction) at time T−1. , ΔV _CROWN represents the change in scaling speed caused by the force applied in response to the rotation of the crown, and ΔV _DRAG represents the change in scaling speed caused by the _{counteracting} motion of the scaling movement. As mentioned above, the force applied to the scaling by the crown can be dependent on the angular rotation speed of the crown. Therefore, ΔV _CROWN can also depend on the angular rotation speed of the crown. Generally, the higher the angular rotation speed of the crown, the larger the value of ΔV _CROWN . However, the actual correspondence between the angular rotation speed of the crown and ΔV _CROWN can be varied depending on the desired user feel of the scaling effect. In some instances, ΔV _DRAG can be dependent on the scaling rate, which can produce larger opposite scaling changes at higher rates. In another example, ΔV _DRAG can have a constant value. However, it should be understood that any fixed or variable amount of reverse velocity change can be used to produce the desired scaling effect. Typically, if there is no user input in the form of ΔV _CROWN , then V _T will be close to 0 (and will be 0) based on ΔV _DRAG according to Equation 1.2, but V _T will It should be noted that without user input in the form of rotation (ΔV _CROWN ), it would not change sign.

As can be seen from Equation 1.2, the scaling rate can continue to increase as long as ΔV _CROWN is greater than ΔV _DRAG . In addition, the scaling rate can have a non-zero value even when the ΔV _CROWN input is not received. Therefore, if the view is scaling at a non-zero speed, it can continue to scale even if the user does not rotate the crown. The amount and time of scaling until the scaling stops can depend on the scaling speed at which the user stops rotating the crown and the ΔV _DRAG component.

In some examples, resetting the V _(T-1) component to a value of 0 when the crown is rotated in the opposite direction that corresponds to the scaling direction that is opposite to the direction in which the view is currently scaled This allows the user to quickly change the direction of scaling without having to provide sufficient force to offset the current scaling speed of the view.

  At block 4108, the display may be updated based on the scaling speed and direction determined at block 4106. This may include scaling the view by an amount corresponding to the determined scaling speed, in a direction corresponding to the determined scaling direction (e.g., a larger direction or a smaller direction). Thereafter, the process may return to block 4104 where additional crown position information may be received.

  It should be understood that blocks 4104, 4106 and 4108 may be repeatedly performed at any desired frequency to continually determine the scaling speed and update the display accordingly.

  To further illustrate the operation of process 4100, FIG. 42 shows an exemplary interface of device 100 with an image of triangle 4202. At block 4102 of process 4100, processor 202 of device 100 may cause display 106 to display the illustrated triangle 4202. At block 4104, the processor 202 can receive crown position information from the encoder 204. At block 4106, scaling speed and scaling direction can be determined. Because the current scroll speed is zero and the crown 108 is not currently rotated, the new scaling speed can be determined to be zero using Equation 1.2. At block 4108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display with the speed and direction determined at block 4106. However, since the speed determined was zero, no changes to the display need be made. 43 and 44 show subsequent views of the interface shown in FIG. 42 at different times. Here, the time length between each view is equal.

Referring now to FIG. 43, the crown 108 has been rotated upward at rotational speed 4302. The processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 4104 as before. Thus, at block 4106, the processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN to determine a new scaling speed V _T. In this example, the upward rotation of the crown coincides with the positive scaling direction (e.g., the direction of increasing the size of the view). Other orientations can be used in other examples. At block 4108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scaling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 43, this update causes the size of triangle 4202 to increase at a rate of change corresponding to the determined scaling speed. Because the crown 108 is just beginning to rotate, the rotational speed 4302 can be relatively low compared to the typical rotational speed of the crown. Therefore, the scaling speed can likewise have a relatively low value compared to the typical or maximum scrolling speed. As a result, only small changes in the size of triangle 4202 can be observed.

Referring now to FIG. 43, the crown 108 is being rotated upward at rotational speed 4304, which may be greater than rotational speed 4302. The processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 4104 as before. Thus, at block 4106, the processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN to determine a new scaling speed V _T. Since the display previously had a non-zero scaling speed value (eg, as shown in FIG. 43), the new ΔV _CROWN value corresponding to rotational speed 4304 is set to the previous scaling speed value V _(T−1) . It can be added. Therefore, as long as the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value, the new scaling rate can be greater than the previous scaling rate. However, if the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 4304 is less than the value of ΔV _DRAG , then the new scaling speed may be less than the previous scaling speed. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value. At block 4108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scaling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 44, this update causes the size of triangle 4202 to increase at the determined scaling rate. Because the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 4304 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scaling speed can be greater than the previous scaling speed. As a result, a change in size of triangle 4202 can be observed that is larger than that shown in FIG.

Similar to the scrolling performed using process 2100, scaling of the view encompassing triangle 4202 may continue after the crown 108 has stopped rotating. However, due to the value of ΔV _DRAG of Equation 1.2, the rate at which the size of the view encompassing triangle 4202 increases can decrease with time. In addition, similar scaling may be performed to reduce the size of the view encompassing triangle 4202, in response to crown 108 being rotated in the opposite direction. The speed of scaling can be calculated in a manner similar to that used to calculate the positive scaling shown in FIGS. Further, similar to the scroll performed using process 2100, the speed and direction of scaling can be set to zero in response to the rotation of crown 108 in the direction opposite to the direction of scaling. This can be done to allow the user to change the direction of scaling quickly.

  Furthermore, in some instances, velocity scaling can reverse direction upon reaching minimum or maximum scaling of the view. For example, the scaling speed can cause the view to zoom in at a non-zero speed. When the scaling limit is reached, the direction of scaling can be reversed, causing the view to scale (eg, zoom out) in the opposite direction at the same speed at which this view was scaled before the scaling limit was reached. Can.

  In some instances, scrolling or scaling performed in any of the processes described above (eg, processes 300, 900, 1500, 2100, or 4100) may stop in response to changes in the context of the electronics. It can be done. The context can represent any condition that constitutes the environment in which crown position information is being received. For example, the context may include the current application being executed by the device, the type of application or process being displayed by the device, a selected object in the view of the device, or the like. To illustrate, if crown position information indicating a change in the position of crown 108 has been received while performing process 300, device 100 may, as described above, list the applications. It can scroll. However, in response to the user selecting one of the displayed applications, and in response to a change in context such that the device 100 opens the application, the device 100 may, within the opened application, In order to prevent the scrolling function from being performed, the execution of the scrolling function of block 306, which was previously performed, may be discontinued. In some instances, after detecting a change in context, device 100 also ignores input from crown 108 by stopping execution of the scroll function of block 306, even if crown 108 continues to rotate. Can. In some examples, the device 100 may cease to perform the scrolling function of block 306 in response to changes in the position of the crown 108 for a threshold time length after detecting a change in context. The threshold time length can be any desired time, such as one second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, or more than four seconds. Also, similar behavior may be performed in response to detecting a change in context while executing process 900 or 1500. For example, in response to detecting a change in context, the device 100 can cease to perform the previously performed scrolling or scaling function. In addition, in some examples, after detecting a change in context, the device 100 also scrolls or zooms the view in response to the change in position of the crown 108 for a threshold time period after detecting a change in context. It is also possible to ignore the input from the crown 108 by stopping doing so. A similar behavior may also be performed in response to detecting a change in context while executing block 2100 or 4100. For example, device 100 may stop the previously performed scroll or zoom function having a non-zero speed in response to detecting a change in context. In addition, in some examples, after detecting a change in context, the device 100 also scrolls or zooms the view in response to the change in position of the crown 108 for a threshold time period after detecting a change in context. It is also possible to ignore the input from the crown 108 by stopping doing so. By stopping the scroll or scaling function in response to detecting a change in context, and / or ignoring future inputs from the crown 108, input entered while operating in one context is It can be advantageously prevented from carrying over to another context in an undesired way. For example, the user can use process 300 to scroll through the list of applications using the crown 108, and the momentum of the crown 108 allows the user to select the desired music application while the crown 108 continues to rotate. . Without stopping the scroll function in response to detecting a change in context and not ignoring the input from the crown 108, the device 100 may be caused to perform the scroll function within the selected application, or the crown The input from 108 may be interpreted in other ways not intended by the user (eg, to adjust the volume of the music application).

  In some instances, changes in a particular type of context may not result in the device 100 stopping the ongoing scroll or scaling function, and / or the device 100 may not continue from the crown 108 You do not have to ignore the input of. For example, if the device 100 is simultaneously displaying multiple views or objects in the display 106, the selection between the displayed views or objects causes the device 100 to scroll or scale as described above. It may not stop and / or the device 100 may not ignore future inputs of the crown 108. For example, device 100 may simultaneously display two sets of lines of text similar to those shown in FIG. In this example, device 100 may use process 900 to scroll one of the sets. In response to user selection of the other set of lines of text (eg, via a tap on the touch-sensitive display of the apparatus 100 at a location corresponding to the other set of lines of text), the And / or based on changes in the current detected position of the crown 108, the other set of lines of text can begin to scroll. However, if a different type of context change occurs (e.g., a new application is opened, an item not currently displayed by device 100 is selected, or the like), device 100 may As done, the ongoing scroll or scaling function can be stopped and / or input from the crown 108 can be ignored during the threshold time length. In other examples, the previous scroll may occur in response to user selection of the other set of text lines (eg, via a tap on the touch-sensitive display of device 100 at a location corresponding to the other set of text lines). Rather than starting to scroll the other set of lines of text based on changes in speed and / or the current position of the crown 108, the device 100 can stop the ongoing scroll or scaling function, and Input from the crown 108 may be ignored during the threshold time duration. However, the threshold time length is used for changes in other types of context changes (e.g., opening a new application, selecting an item not currently displayed by the device 100, or the like) Can be shorter than the threshold time length. Although a specific type of context change is provided above, it should be understood that any type of context change can be selected.

  In some examples, the device 100 can include a mechanism for detecting physical contact with the crown 108. For example, the device 100 is configured to detect a change in capacitance caused by contact with the crown 108, a resistance configured to detect a change in resistance caused by contact with the crown 108. A sensor, a pressure sensor configured to detect depression of the crown 108 caused by contact with the crown 108, a temperature sensor configured to detect a change in temperature of the crown 108 caused by contact with the crown 108, or the like Can be included. It should be understood that any desired mechanism for detecting contact with crown 108 may be used. In these examples, the presence of contact with crown 108 to stop scrolling or scaling performed in any of the processes described above (eg, processes 300, 900, 1500, 2100, or 4100) Or absence can be used. For example, in some examples, device 100 may be configured to perform scrolling or scaling functions as described above for processes 300, 900, 1500, 2100, or 4100. In response to detecting a sudden stop of rotation of the crown 108 (eg, a stop, or a decrease in rotational speed above a threshold) while contact with the crown 108 is being detected, the device 100 scrolls as it is being executed Alternatively, scaling can be stopped. This event may represent a situation in which the user indicates that he wants to rotate the crown 108 quickly but intentionally stop it and stop scrolling or scaling. However, in response to detecting a sudden stop of rotation of the crown 108 (e.g., a stop or a decrease in rotational speed above a threshold) while contact with the crown 108 is not detected, the device 100 is executed You can continue to scroll or scale. This event causes the user to rapidly rotate the crown 108 by performing a flipping gesture forward or backward, takes his finger off the crown 108, and winds the crown 108 further using the flipping gesture again. It can represent a situation in which the wrist is reversely rotated. In this situation, the user is likely not to stop scrolling or scaling.

  Although the processes 300, 900, 2100, and 4100 are described above as being used to perform scrolling or scaling of objects or views of a display, they can be any kind of value associated with an electronic device It should be understood that more generally can be applied to adjust the For example, rather than scrolling or scaling the view in a particular direction in response to changes in the position of crown 108, instead, device 100 may select a selected value (e.g., volume, time in video, or any other value). Other values) can be increased by an amount or speed in a similar manner as described above for scrolling or scaling. In addition, rather than scrolling or scaling the view in the opposite direction in response to changes in the position of the crown 108 in the opposite direction, instead, the device 100 will select the selected values as described above for scrolling or scaling. In the same way, it can be reduced by a certain amount or speed.

  One or more of the functions associated with scaling or scrolling the user interface may be performed by a system similar or identical to system 4500 shown in FIG. System 4500 can include instructions that are stored in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, such as memory 4504 or storage 4502, and executed by processor 4506. The instruction may also be an instruction execution system, apparatus or apparatus, such as a computer based system, a processor embedded system, or any other system capable of fetching an instruction from the instruction execution system, apparatus or apparatus and executing the instruction. , Or for use in connection with it, may be stored and / or transported in any non-transitory computer readable storage medium.
