  In the following disclosure and example description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings in which specific examples that can be implemented are shown by way of illustration. It should 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 operating a user interface on a wearable electronic device using a mechanical crown. In some examples, the user interface can be scrolled or scaled as the crown rotates. The direction of scrolling or scaling and the amount of scrolling or scaling can depend on the direction and amount of crown rotation, respectively. In some examples, the amount of scrolling or scaling can be proportional to the change in crown rotation angle. In another example, the scroll speed or scaling speed can depend on the angular speed of the crown. In these examples, a larger rotation speed can cause a larger scrolling or scaling speed to be performed on the displayed view.

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

  Conventionally, the term “crown” in the context of a portable watch refers to a cap on a mandrel for winding a portable watch. In the context of a personal electronic device, the crown can be a physical component of the electronic device rather than 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 directions of rotation (eg, forward and backward). The crown 108 can also be pushed toward and / or pulled away from the body of the device 100. The crown 108 can be touch sensitive using, for example, capacitive touch technology that can detect whether the user is touching the crown. Still further, the crown 108 can be further swung 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 examples, more than one crown 108 can be used. The visual appearance of the crown 108 may resemble the crown of a conventional portable watch, but it may not be similar. Buttons 110, 112, and 114, when included, can each be a physical button or a touch-sensitive button. That is, the button may be a physical button or a capacitive button, for example. In addition, the body 102, which may include a bezel, may have a predetermined area on the bezel that functions as 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, projection scanning touch sensing, or the like. A liquid crystal display (LCD), a light-emitting diode (LED) display, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, or partially or completely positioned behind Display devices such as the like can be included. Display 106 may allow a user to perform various functions by using one or more fingers or other objects to hover near and touch the touch sensor panel. .

  In some examples, the device 100 can further include one or more pressure sensors (not shown) for detecting the amount of force or pressure applied to the display. The amount of force or pressure applied to the display 106 can be any desired, such as making a selection, entering or exiting a menu, causing display of additional options / actions, or the like It can be used as an input to the device 100 for executing the operation. In some examples, different actions can 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 the 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 a change in physical state (eg, the position of the crown) and converts it into an electrical signal (eg, it is the position of the crown 108, or a change in position). Can be configured to provide the processor 202 with the signal. For example, in some examples, the encoder 204 is configured to sense the absolute rotational position (eg, an angle of 0-360 °) of the crown 108 and output an analog or digital representation of this position to the processor 202. Can do. Alternatively, in other examples, the encoder 204 senses a change in the rotational position of the crown 108 (eg, a change in rotation angle) over some sampling period and provides an analog or digital representation of the sensed change to the processor 202. It can be configured to output. In these examples, the crown position information can further indicate the direction of rotation of the crown (eg, a positive value can correspond to one direction and a negative value can correspond to the other). In yet another example, the encoder 204 can be configured to detect the rotation of the crown 108 in any desired manner (eg, speed, acceleration, or the like) and send the crown rotation information to the 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 in the direction and speed of rotation, such as the change in angle per unit time, and the like. In the alternative, instead of providing information to the processor 202, this information can be provided to other components of the device 100. The examples described herein refer to utilizing the rotational position of the crown 108 to control view scrolling or scaling, but using any other physical state of the crown 108. Please understand that you can.

  In some examples, 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 (eg, rotated forward), the display 106's ability to cross the z-axis can be limited. In other words, the crown's physical state can represent the physical mode functionality of the display 106. In some examples, the time attribute of the physical state of the crown 108 can be used as an input to the device 100. For example, a fast change in physical state can be interpreted differently than a slow change in physical state.

  The processor 202 can be further coupled to receive input signals from the buttons 110, 112, and 114 along with touch signals from the touch sensitive display 106. The processor 202 can be configured to interpret these input signals and output appropriate display signals for causing 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 equipment can be used to perform the general functions described above.

  FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary process 300 for scrolling a displayed set of applications using a crown, according to various examples. In some examples, process 300 may be performed by a wearable electronic device similar to device 100. In these examples, visual representations (eg, icons, graphical images, text images, and the like) of one or more applications in the set of applications can be displayed on the display 106 of the device 100, and the crown Process 300 can be performed to visually scroll through the set of applications by sequentially displaying the applications in response to the rotation of 108. In some examples, scrolling can 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 between 0 and 360 degrees. In other examples, the crown position information may include an analog or digital representation of a change in the rotational position of the crown, such as a change in rotation angle. For example, an encoder similar to encoder 204 can be coupled to a crown similar to crown 108 to monitor and measure its position. The encoder can convert the position of the crown 108 into crown position information that can be transmitted to a processor similar to the processor 202.

  At block 304, it can be determined whether a change in position has been detected. In some examples, if the crown position information includes the absolute position of the crown, determining whether a change in position has occurred is performed by comparing the position of the crown at two different time instances. Can do. For example, the processor (e.g., processor 202) may determine the most recent position of the crown (e.g., crown 108) as indicated by the crown position information in front of the crown as indicated by the previously received crown position information. (E.g., immediately preceding) position. If the positions are the same or are within a threshold (eg, a value corresponding to the encoder tolerance), it can be determined that no change in position has occurred. However, if the positions are not the same or at least differ by a threshold, it can be determined that a change in position has occurred. In another example, if the crown position information includes a position change over some length of time, determining whether a position change has occurred is whether the absolute value of the position change is equal to zero. Or by determining if it is less than a threshold (eg, a value corresponding to encoder tolerances). If the absolute value of the position change is equal to 0 or less than the threshold, it can be determined that no position change has occurred. However, when the absolute value of the position change is 0 or larger than the threshold value, it can be determined that the position change has occurred.

  If it is determined at block 304 that no crown position change has been detected, the process can return to block 302 where new crown position information can be received. Alternatively, however, if it is determined at block 304 that a change in crown position has been detected, the process can 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 can cause the process to return to block 302, while a negative determination can cause the process to proceed to block 306. Please understand that you can. For example, block 304 can alternatively determine whether no change in position has been detected.

  At block 306, at least a portion of the set of applications can be scrolled based on the detected position change. The set of applications can include any ordered set of applications or an unordered set. For example, the set of applications can 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 usage frequency, user-defined ordering, relevance, or any other desired ordering.

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

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

  To further illustrate the operation of process 300, FIG. 4 includes a visual representation of application 406 (eg, icons, graphical images, text images, and the like) and visual representation of applications 404 and 408. 2 shows an exemplary interface of the 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 Can be part of a set of applications including any group of the same). At block 302 of process 300, the processor 202 of the device 100 can receive crown position information from the encoder 204. In FIG. 4, the crown 108 is not rotated, so a negative determination can be made by the processor 202 at block 304, whereby the process returns to block 302.

  Referring now to FIG. 5, the crown 108 has been rotated upward as indicated by the rotation direction 502. Processor 202 can again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 302 of process 300, as before. Therefore, the processor 202 can make an affirmative determination at block 304, whereby the process proceeds to block 306. At block 306, the processor 202 can cause the display 106 to scroll at least a portion of the set of applications on the device 100. The scroll can have a scroll amount or speed based on the scroll direction 504 corresponding to the rotational direction 502 of the crown 108 and the characteristics of the crown 108 rotation (eg, distance, speed, 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 through the set of applications by translating the visual representation of the application in the scroll direction 504. As a result, application 408 is completely expelled 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 the crown 108 in the rotation direction 502, the processor 202 can continue to cause the display 106 to scroll the view of the set of applications in the scroll direction 504, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, the application 406 is barely visible on the right side of the display 106, the application 404 is centered within the display 106, and the newly displayed application 402 is displayed on the left side of the 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 examples, if the application 402 is the first application in the list of applications and the user continues to rotate the crown 108 in the rotation direction 502, the processor 202 positions the application 402 at the center in the display. If so, scrolling of the display 106 can be limited to stop scrolling. Alternatively, in other examples, the processor 202 continues to scroll the display 106 by looping to the end of the application set, and the last application (eg, application 408) in the application set is left of the application 402. Can be displayed.

  Referring now to FIG. 7, the crown 108 is rotated in the downward rotation direction 506. Processor 202 can again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 302 of process 300, as before. Therefore, the processor 202 can make an affirmative determination at block 304, whereby the process proceeds 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 this example, the scroll direction 508 is the opposite direction of the scroll direction 504. However, it should be understood that the scroll direction 508 can be any desired direction. Similar to the scrolling performed in response to the rotation of the crown 108 in the rotational direction 502, the scrolling performed in response to the rotation of the crown 108 in the rotational direction 506 is characterized by the rotation characteristics of the crown 108 (eg, distance, speed, 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 through the set of applications by translating the visual representation of the application in the scroll direction 508. As a result, the application 402 is completely evicted from the display 106, a portion of the application 404 is evicted from the display 106, and a larger portion of the application 406 is displayed on the display 106. As the user continues to rotate the crown 108 in the rotation direction 506, the processor 202 can continue to cause the display 106 to scroll the view of the set of applications in the scroll direction 508, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, application 404 is barely visible on the left side of display 106, application 406 is centered within display 106, and application 408 is displayed again on the right side of display 106. In some examples, if application 408 is the last application in the list of applications and the user continues to rotate crown 108 in direction of rotation 508, processor 202 positions application 408 at the center in the display. Then, the scrolling of the display 106 can be limited so as to stop the scrolling. Alternatively, in other examples, the processor 202 continues to scroll the display 106 by looping to the beginning of the set of applications, and the first application (eg, application 402) in the set of applications is to the right of the application 408. Can be displayed.

  While 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 through other displays of the application as well. In addition, the scrolling distance or speed can be configured to depend on any characteristics of the crown.

  FIG. 9 illustrates an example process 900 for scrolling a view of a display using a crown, according to various examples. A view can include a visual representation of any type of data that is displayed. For example, a view can include a display of text, media items, web pages, maps, or the like. Process 900 can be similar to process 300, except that process 900 can be generally applied with any type of content or view displayed on the display of the device. In some examples, process 900 can be performed by a wearable electronic device 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 as the crown 108 rotates. Can do. In some examples, scrolling can be performed by translating the displayed content along a fixed axis.

  At block 902, crown position information may be received in a similar or identical manner as described above with respect to block 302. For example, crown position information may be received from an encoder (eg, encoder 204) by a processor (eg, processor 202), and the absolute position of the crown, changes in the rotational position of the crown, or other position information of the crown. An analog or digital representation can be included.

  At block 904, it can be determined whether a change in position has been detected in a similar or identical manner to that described above with respect to block 304. For example, block 904 can include comparing the position of the crown 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 no position change is detected, the process can return to block 902. Alternatively, if a change in position is detected, the process can proceed to block 906. As described herein, an affirmative 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 can cause the process to return to block 902, while a negative determination can cause the process to proceed to block 906. Please understand that you can. For example, block 904 can alternatively determine whether no change in position has been detected.

  At block 906, the display view may be scrolled based on the detected position change. 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) can display a portion of some content. In response to detecting a change in the position of a crown (eg, crown 108), the currently displayed portion of the content is translated and removed from the display for other portions of the content that were not previously displayed Can be freed up. The direction of translation can depend on the direction of change of the crown position. For example, turning the crown clockwise can cause the display to scroll in one direction, while turning the crown counterclockwise causes the display to rotate in the second (eg, opposite) direction. Scrolling can occur. In addition, the distance or speed of the scroll can depend on the amount of change detected in the position of the crown. In some examples, the scroll distance or speed may be proportional to the amount of rotation detected. For example, the scroll amount corresponding to a half rotation of the crown can be equal to 50% of the scroll amount corresponding to one rotation of the crown. Thereafter, the process can return to block 902 where new crown position information can be received.

  It should be understood that the actual value used to linearly map the change in crown position to the scroll distance or speed can be varied depending on the desired functionality of the device. In addition, it should be understood that other associations between scroll amount and position change can be used. For example, acceleration, speed (described in more detail below with respect to FIGS. 21-44), or the like, can be used to determine scroll distance or speed. In addition, a non-linear association between crown characteristics (eg, position, speed, 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 having a visual representation of a line of text that includes numbers 1-9. At block 902 of the process 900, the processor 202 of the device 100 may receive crown position information from the encoder 204. In FIG. 10, the crown 108 is not rotated, so a negative determination can be made by the processor 202 at block 904, which returns the process to block 902.

  Next, referring to FIG. 11, the crown 108 is rotated in the upward rotation direction 1102. Processor 202 can again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 902 of process 900, as before. Therefore, the processor 202 can make an affirmative determination at block 904, whereby the process proceeds to block 906. At block 906, the processor 202 can cause the display 106 to scroll through the line of text displayed on the display 106. The scroll may have a scroll amount or speed based on the scroll direction 1104 corresponding to the rotation direction 1102 of the crown 108 and the characteristics of the rotation of the crown 108 (eg, distance, speed, 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 lines of text by translating the text in a 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 translated in the scroll direction 1104 as well. As the user continues to rotate the crown 108 in the rotation direction 1102, the processor 202 can continue to cause the display 106 to scroll lines of text in the scroll direction 1104, as shown in FIG. 12. In FIG. 12, row 1002 is no longer visible in display 106 and row 1004 is now completely in view of display 106. In some examples, if line 1004 is the last line of text and the user continues to rotate the crown 108 in the rotation direction 1102, the processor 202 causes the line 1004 to be fully displayed in the display 106. Then, the scrolling of the display 106 can be limited so as to stop the scrolling. In another example, the processor 202 may continue scrolling the display 106 by looping to the beginning of the line of text, causing the first line of text (eg, line 1002) to be displayed below the line 1004. In yet another example, performing a rubber banding effect by displaying a margin below line 1004, flipping the line of text as the crown 108 stops rotating, and aligning line 1004 to the bottom of display 106 Can do. It should be understood that the action performed in response to reaching the end of the content displayed in the display 106 can be selected based on the type of data being displayed.

  Referring now to FIG. 13, the crown 108 is rotated in the downward rotation direction 1106. Processor 202 can again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 902 of process 900, as before. Therefore, the processor 202 can make an affirmative determination at block 904, whereby the process proceeds 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 that corresponds to the rotation direction 1106. In this example, the scroll direction 1108 is opposite to the scroll direction 1104. However, it should be understood that the scroll direction 1108 can be any desired direction. Similar to the scrolling performed in response to the rotation of the crown 108 in the rotation direction 1102, the scrolling performed in response to the rotation of the crown 108 in the rotation direction 1106 is characterized by the characteristics of the rotation of the crown 108 (eg, distance, speed, 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 a line of text by translating the line of text in a scroll direction 1108. As a result, a portion of row 1004 can be expelled from display 106 while a portion of row 1002 can be displayed again on top of display 106. As the user continues to rotate the crown 108 in the rotation direction 1106, the processor 202 can continue to cause the display 106 to scroll lines of text in the scroll direction 1108, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, row 1004 has been translated and exited from display 106, while row 1002 is now fully visible. In some examples, if line 1002 is the first line of text and the user continues to rotate crown 108 in direction of rotation 1106, processor 202 scrolls when line 1002 is at the top of display 106. Scrolling of the display 106 can be limited so as to stop. In other examples, the processor 202 may continue scrolling the 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 the line 1002. In yet another example, performing a rubber banding effect by displaying a margin above line 1002, flipping the line of text as the crown 108 stops rotating, and aligning line 1002 to the top of display 106. Can do. It should be understood that the action performed in response to reaching the end of the content displayed in the display 106 can be selected based on the type of data being displayed.

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

  FIG. 15 illustrates an example process 1500 for scaling (eg, zooming in or out) a display view using a crown, according to various examples. A view can include a visual representation of any type of data that is displayed. For example, a view can include a display of text, media items, web pages, maps, or the like. Instead of scrolling between applications or scrolling through the device view, the process 1500 can be scaled with processes 300 and 900, except that the view can be scaled positively or negatively as the crown rotates. It can be the same. In some examples, process 1500 may be performed by a wearable electronic device 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 do.

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

  At block 1504, it can 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 can include comparing the position of the crown 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 no position change is detected, the process can return to block 1502. Alternatively, if a change in position is detected, the process can proceed to block 1506. As described herein, an affirmative 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. Please understand that you can. For example, block 1504 can alternatively determine whether no change in position has been detected.

  At block 1506, the view of the display can be scaled based on the detected change in position. Block 1506 may include visually scaling the view in response to the detected change in the position of the crown (eg, zooming in / out). For example, a display (eg, display 106) can display a portion of some content. In response to detecting a change in the position of the crown (eg, crown 108), by increasing or decreasing the size of the currently displayed portion of the content in the view depending on the direction of the change in the position of the crown The view can be scaled. For example, turning the crown clockwise can increase the size of the content in the display view (eg, zoom in), while turning the crown counterclockwise increases the size of the content in the display view. The size can be reduced (eg, zoom out). In addition, the amount or speed of scaling can depend on the amount of detected change in crown position. In some examples, 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 rotation of the crown can be equal to 50% of the scaling amount corresponding to one rotation of the crown. Thereafter, the process can return to block 1502 where new crown position information can be received.

  It should be understood that the actual value used to linearly map the change 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 position changes can be used. For example, acceleration, speed (described in more detail below with respect to FIGS. 21-44), or the like, can be used to determine the amount or speed of scaling. In addition, a non-linear association 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. At block 1502 of process 1500, the processor 202 of the device 100 can receive crown position information from the encoder 204. In FIG. 16, the crown 108 is not rotated, so a negative determination can be made by the processor 202 at block 1504, which returns the process to block 1502.

  Next, referring to FIG. 17, the crown 108 is rotated in the upward rotation direction 1702. Processor 202 can again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 1502 of process 1500, as before. Therefore, the processor 202 can make an affirmative determination at block 1504 so that the process proceeds to block 1506. At block 1506, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to scale the view being displayed on the display 106. Scaling can increase or decrease the size of the view depending on the direction of rotation of the crown 108, and the scaling amount or speed based on the characteristics of the rotation of the crown 108 (eg, distance, speed, acceleration, or the like). Can have. In the illustrated example, the scaling amount can be proportional to the amount of rotation of the crown 108. As shown, display 106 can scale a view that includes triangle 1602 with a positive magnification. As a result, the triangle 1602 in FIG. 17 appears larger than that shown in FIG. As the user continues to rotate the crown 108 in the direction of rotation 1702, the processor 202 continues to cause the display 106 to scale the view containing the image of the triangle 1602 with a positive scale factor, as shown in FIG. Can do. In FIG. 18, the triangle 1602 appears larger than that shown in FIGS. When the rotation of the crown 108 stops, the scaling of the view encompassing the triangle 1602 can be stopped as well. In some examples, the processor 202 can limit the scaling of the display 106 if the view of the triangle 1602 is scaled to its maximum amount and the user continues to rotate the crown 108 in the direction of rotation 1702. In yet another example, the size of the view encompassing the 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 108 in response to stopping the rotation of the crown 108. By flipping the size back to its maximum scaling amount, a rubber banding effect can be performed. It should be understood that the actions performed in response to reaching the display 106 scaling limit can be configured in any desired manner.

  Referring now to FIG. 19, the crown 108 is rotated in the downward rotation direction 1704. Processor 202 can again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 1502 of process 1500, as before. Therefore, the processor 202 can make an affirmative determination at block 1504 so that the process proceeds to block 1506. At block 1506, the processor 202 can cause the display 106 to scale the view with a negative scale factor corresponding to the direction of rotation 1704. Similar to the scaling performed in response to the rotation of the crown 108 in the direction of rotation 1702, the scaling performed in response to the rotation of the crown 108 in the direction of rotation 1704 depends on the characteristics of the rotation of the crown 108 (eg, distance, speed, 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 a view containing an image of the triangle 1602 with a negative magnification. As a result, the triangle 1602 in FIG. 19 is smaller than that shown in FIG. As the user continues to rotate the crown 108 in the direction of rotation 1704, the processor 202 continues to cause the display 106 to scale the view of the image encompassing the triangle 1602 using a negative scale factor, as shown in FIG. Can do. 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 encompassing the triangle 1602 can be stopped as well. In some examples, the processor 202 can 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 rotational direction 1704. . In yet another example, the size of the view encompassing the triangle 1602 can be reduced to a rubber banding limit that is less than the minimum scaling amount for the view, and then the view's 108 in response to stopping the rotation of the crown 108. By flipping the size back to its minimum scaling amount, a rubber banding effect can be performed. It should be understood that the actions performed in response to reaching the display 106 scaling limit can be configured in any desired manner.

  Specific scaling examples are provided, but the mechanical crown of wearable electronics is 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 scaling is possible. In addition, the amount or speed of scaling can be configured to depend on any characteristics of the crown. Further, in some examples, once the minimum or maximum scaling of the view has been reached, the crown can continue to rotate in the same direction, resulting in scaling in the reverse direction. For example, an upward rotation of the crown can zoom in on the view. However, when the scaling limit is reached, upward rotation of the crown can then cause the view to scale in the opposite direction (eg, zoom out).

  FIG. 21 illustrates an exemplary process 2100 for scrolling the display view based on the angular speed of the crown, according to various examples. A view can include a visual representation of any type of data that is displayed. For example, a 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 scrolling speed that depends on the angular rotation speed of the crown. In some examples, process 2100 can be performed by a wearable electronic device 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 do. In some examples, scrolling can be performed by translating the displayed content along a fixed axis.

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

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

At block 2106, the scroll speed (eg, speed and scroll direction) can be determined. In some examples, view scrolling can be determined using physics-based motion modeling. For example, a view can be treated as an object having a moving speed corresponding to the speed of scrolling across the device display. The rotation of the crown can be treated as a force applied to the view in a direction corresponding to the rotation direction of the crown. Here, the amount of force depends on the angular rotation speed of the crown. For example, a larger angular rotation speed can correspond to a greater amount of 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 over time, allowing the scroll to stop without additional input from the user. Therefore, the scrolling speed at discrete points can take the following general form:

In formula 1.1, _{V T} represents a scroll speed determined at time T (speed and _{direction), V (T-1)} represents the previous scroll speed at time T-1 (speed and direction) , ΔV _CROWN represents the change in velocity caused by the force applied to the view as the crown rotates, and ΔV _DRAG represents the change in view velocity caused by the drag in the opposite direction to the view movement (view scroll). . As described above, the force applied to 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. Usually, the value of ΔV _CROWN increases as the angular speed of the crown increases. However, the actual association between the crown angular rotation speed and ΔV _CROWN can be varied depending on the desired user feel of the scroll effect. For example, various linear or non-linear associations between the crown angular rotation speed and ΔV _CROWN can be used. In some examples, ΔV _DRAG can depend on scrolling speed, which can produce a greater opposite speed change 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 opposite speed change can be used to produce the desired scroll effect. Typically, in the absence of user input in the form of ΔV _CROWN , V _T will approach 0 (and become 0) based on ΔV _DRAG according to Equation 1.1, but the crown rotation (ΔV _CROWN Note that without user input in the form of), V _T will not change sign.

As can be seen from Equation 1.1, the 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 no ΔV _CROWN input is received. Therefore, if the view is scrolling at a non-zero speed, it can continue to scroll without the user rotating 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 zero when the crown is rotated in a direction corresponding to the scroll direction that is opposite to the direction in which the view is currently scrolled. The user can 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 can be updated based on the scroll speed and direction determined at block 2106. This can 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 can return to block 2104 where additional crown position information can be received.

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

  To further illustrate the operation of process 2100, FIG. 22 shows an exemplary interface of device 100 having a visual representation of a line of text that includes numbers 1-9. In block 2102 of process 2100, the processor 202 of the device 100 may cause the display 106 to display the illustrated interface. At block 2104, the processor 202 can receive crown position information from the encoder 204. In block 2106, the scroll speed and scroll direction can be determined. Since the current scrolling speed is 0 and the crown 108 is not currently rotating, the new scrolling speed can be determined to be 0 using equation 1.1. At block 2108, the processor 202 can cause the display 106 to update the display with the speed and direction determined at block 2106. However, since the determined speed was zero, no changes to the display need be made. For illustrative purposes, FIGS. 23-29 show subsequent views of the interface shown in FIG. 22 at different times. Here, the time length between each view is equal.

Next, referring to FIG. 23, the crown 108 is rotated in the upward rotation direction at the rotation speed 2302. Again, the processor 202 can receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104 as before. Thus, at block 2106, the processor 202 may be the rotational speed is converted into a value of [Delta] V _CROWN, it determines a new scroll speed _{V T.} In this example, the upward rotation of the crown 108 corresponds to the upward scroll direction. In other examples, other directions can be used. At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scrolling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 23, this update causes the line of text to translate upward at a scroll speed 2304. Since the crown 108 has just begun 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 similarly 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 and removed from the display.

Referring now to FIG. 24, the crown 108 is being rotated in the upward direction of rotation at a rotational speed 2306, which can be greater than the rotational speed 2302. The processor 202 can again receive crown position information from the encoder 204 at block 2104, as before. Thus, at block 2106, the processor 202 may be the rotational speed is converted into a value of [Delta] V _CROWN, it determines 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 the rotational speed 2306 is changed to the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) ( For example, it can be added to (with scroll speed 2304). Therefore, 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 the rotation speed 2306 is smaller than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the new scroll speed 2308 can be smaller than the scroll speed 2304. In the example shown, 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 scrolling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 24, this update causes the line of text to translate upward at a scroll speed 2308. Since the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotation speed 2306 is larger than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scroll speed 2308 can be larger than the scroll speed 2304. As a result, the lines of text are translated a greater distance over the same length of time, so that one full line of text is translated vertically and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 25, the crown 108 is rotated in the upward rotation direction at a rotational speed 2310 that can be greater than the rotational speed 2306. Again, the processor 202 can receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104 as before. Thus, at block 2106, the processor 202 may be the rotational speed is converted into a value of [Delta] V _CROWN, it determines 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 the rotational speed 2310 is changed to the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) ( For example, it can be added to (with scroll speed 2308). Therefore, as long as the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value, the new scroll speed 2312 can be greater than the scroll speed 2308. However, if the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotation 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 example shown, 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 scrolling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 25, this update causes the line of text to translate upward at a scroll speed 2312. Since the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotation 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 and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 26, the crown 108 is rotated in the upward rotation direction at a rotational speed 2314, which can be greater than the rotational speed 2310. Again, the processor 202 can receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104 as before. Thus, at block 2110, the processor 202 may be the rotational speed is converted into a value of [Delta] V _CROWN, it determines 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 the rotational speed 2314 is changed to the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) ( For example, it has a scroll speed 2312). Therefore, 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 rotation 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 example shown, 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 scrolling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 26, this update causes the line of text to translate upward at scroll speed 2316. Since the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotation speed 2314 is larger than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scroll speed 2316 can be larger than the 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 and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 27, the crown 108 has not been rotated in any direction. Again, the processor 202 can receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104 as before. Therefore, at block 2110, the processor 202 can determine a new scroll speed V _T based on the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, having a 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 no crown rotation is performed. However, if the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (eg, having scroll speed 2316) is equal to the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scroll speed can have a value of zero. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (eg, having 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 scrolling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 27, this update causes the line of text to translate upward at scroll speed 2318. Since ΔV _DRAG can have a non-zero value and the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, having scroll speed 2316) can be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , scrolling Speed 2318 may have a non-zero value that is less than scroll speed 2316. As a result, the lines of text are translated a shorter distance over the same length of time, thereby translating 1.5 lines of text vertically and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 28, the crown 108 has not been rotated in any direction. Again, the processor 202 can receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104 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, having a 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 performed. However, if the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, having scroll speed 2318) is equal to the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scroll speed can have a value of zero. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (eg, having 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 scrolling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 28, this update causes the line of text to translate upward at a scroll speed 2320. Scrolling because ΔV _DRAG can have a non-zero value and the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, having scroll speed 2318) can be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG. The speed 2320 can have a non-zero value that is less than the scroll speed 2318. As a result, the lines of text are translated a shorter distance over the same length of time so that one line of text is translated vertically and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 29, the crown 108 has not been rotated in any direction. Again, the processor 202 can receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104 as before. Therefore, at block 2110, the processor 202 can determine a new scroll speed V _T based on the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, having a scroll speed 2320) and the value of ΔV _DRAG. . Therefore, 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 no crown rotation is performed. However, if the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, having a scroll speed 2320) is equal to the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scroll speed can have a value of zero. In the illustrated example, it is assumed that the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (eg, having 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 scrolling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 29, this update causes the line of text to translate upward at scroll speed 2322. Scrolling because ΔV _DRAG can have a non-zero value and the previous scroll speed V _(T−1) (eg, having scroll speed 2320) can be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG. Speed 2322 may have a non-zero value that is less than scroll speed 2320. As a result, the lines of text are translated a shorter distance over the same length of time, so that 0.5 lines of text are translated vertically and out of the display. This decay in scrolling speed can continue until the previous scrolling speed V _(T-1) is equal to the value of ΔV _DRAG so that the scrolling speed drops to zero. Alternatively, the scroll speed decay can continue until the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) falls below a threshold, after which it can be set to a value of zero.

  To further illustrate the operation of process 2100, FIG. 30 shows an exemplary interface of device 100 having a visual representation of a line of text that includes numbers 1-9 similar to that shown in FIG. FIGS. 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. Scrolls the display at. Therefore, the time lengths between subsequent views shown in FIGS. 31-36 are equal. For illustrative purposes, FIGS. 37-40 show subsequent views of the interface shown in FIG. 36 at different times. Here, the time length between each view is equal.

In contrast to FIG. 29 where no rotation input was received, in FIG. 37 a downward rotation with a rotation speed 3702 can be performed. In this example, the processor 202 can again receive crown position information reflecting this downward rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104, as before. At block 2106, the processor 202 can convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN to determine a new scrolling speed V _T. Since the downward rotation of the crown 108 is in the opposite direction of the scroll shown in FIG. 36, the value of ΔV _CROWN may have a polarity that is opposite to that of the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1). it can. In some examples, the new scroll speed V _T is obtained by adding the new ΔV _CROWN value (with the opposite polarity) to the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) and subtracting the ΔV _DRAG value. Can be calculated. In other examples, such as that shown in FIG. 37, when the crown 108 rotates in the opposite direction to that of the previous scroll (eg, when 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 scrolling direction without having to cancel out the previous scrolling speed. At block 2108, the processor 202 may cause the display 106 to update the display based on the determined scrolling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 37, this update causes the line of text to translate downward at a scroll speed 3704. Since the crown 108 has just begun to rotate, the rotational speed 3702 can be relatively low compared to the typical rotational speed of a crown. Therefore, the scroll speed 3704 can similarly have a relatively low value compared to the typical or maximum scroll speed. As a result, a 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 rotated in the downward rotational direction at a rotational speed 3706, which can be greater than the rotational speed 3702. Again, the processor 202 can receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104 as before. Thus, at block 2106, the processor 202 may be the rotational speed is converted into a value of [Delta] V _CROWN, it determines 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 replaced with the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) ( For example, it can be added to (with scroll speed 3704). Therefore, 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 rotation 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 example shown, 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 scrolling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 38, this update causes the line of text to translate downward at a scroll speed of 3708. Since the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotation speed 3706 is larger than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scroll speed 3708 can be larger than the scroll speed 3704. As a result, the lines of text are translated a greater distance over the same length of time, so that one full line of text is translated vertically and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 39, the crown 108 is rotated in the downward rotational direction at a rotational speed 3710, which can be greater than the rotational speed 3706. Again, the processor 202 can receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104 as before. Thus, at block 2106, the processor 202 may be the rotational speed is converted into a value of [Delta] V _CROWN, it determines 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 changed to the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) ( For example, it can be added to (with scroll speed 3708). Therefore, as long as the new ΔV _CROWN value is greater than the ΔV _DRAG value, the new scroll speed 3712 can be greater than the scroll speed 3708. However, if the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotation 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 example shown, 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 scrolling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 39, this update causes the line of text to translate downward at a scroll speed 3712. Since the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotation 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 and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 40, the crown 108 is rotated in the downward rotational direction at a rotational speed 3714, which can be greater than the rotational speed 3710. Again, the processor 202 can receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 2104 as before. Thus, at block 2110, the processor 202 may be the rotational speed is converted into a value of [Delta] V _CROWN, it determines 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 is changed to the previous scroll speed value V _(T−1) ( For example, it has a 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 rotation 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 example shown, 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 scrolling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 40, this update causes the line of text to translate downward at a scroll speed 3716. Since the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotation speed 3714 is larger than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scroll speed 3716 can be larger than the 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 and out of the display.

Although not shown, if the crown 108 stops rotating, the view can continue to scroll down 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 crown 108 stops rotating and the value used for ΔV _DRAG .

  Although specific scrolling examples are provided, the process 2100 can 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 can be performed to scroll through the list of applications in a manner similar to that described above with respect to process 300. However, the speed of scrolling the application when using the process 2100 can depend on the angular rotation speed of the crown.

  FIG. 41 shows an exemplary process 4100 for scaling the view of the display based on the angular speed of the crown according to various examples. A view can include a visual representation of any type of data that is displayed. For example, a 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 the scaling speed (eg, the amount and direction of size change per unit time) rather than determining the scroll speed. Can be. Although the amounts determined are different, they can be determined in a similar manner. In some examples, process 4100 can be performed by a wearable electronic device 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 do.

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

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

At block 4106, a scaling rate (eg, speed and positive / negative scaling direction) can be determined. In some examples, view scaling can be determined using physics-based motion modeling. For example, the 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 a direction corresponding to the rotation direction of the crown. Here, the amount of force depends on the speed of the angular rotation of the crown. As a result, the scaling speed can be increased or decreased and can be moved in different directions. For example, a higher angular rotation speed can correspond to a greater amount of force applied to the object. Any desired linear or non-linear correspondence between the angular rotation speed and the force applied to the object can be used. In addition, drag can be applied in a direction opposite to the direction of motion (eg, scaling). This can be used to attenuate the scaling rate over time, allowing scaling to stop without additional input from the user. Therefore, the scaling rate at discrete points can take the following 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 crown rotation, and ΔV _DRAG represents the change in scaling speed caused by the drag in the opposite direction to the scaling movement. As described above, the force applied by the crown to scaling can depend on the angular rotation speed of the crown. Therefore, ΔV _CROWN can also depend on the angular rotation speed of the crown. Usually, the value of ΔV _CROWN increases as the angular speed of the crown increases. However, the actual association 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 examples, ΔV _DRAG can depend on the scaling rate, which can produce a larger opposite direction scaling change at higher rates. In another example, ΔV _DRAG can have a constant value. However, it should be understood that any fixed amount or variable amount of opposite speed change can be used to produce the desired scaling effect. Typically, in the absence of user input in the form of ΔV _CROWN , V _T will approach 0 (and become 0) based on ΔV _DRAG according to Equation 1.2, but V _T will be crown Note that the sign will not change without user input in the form of a rotation (ΔV _CROWN ).

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 no ΔV _CROWN input is received. Therefore, if the view is scaling at a non-zero speed, it can continue to scale without the user rotating the crown. The scaling amount and time until the scaling is stopped can depend on the scaling speed when the user stops rotating the crown and the ΔV _DRAG component.

In some examples, when the crown is rotated in the opposite direction corresponding to the scaling direction that is opposite to the direction in which the view is currently scaled, the V _(T-1) component may be reset to a value of zero. 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 can include scaling the view by an amount corresponding to the determined scaling speed in a direction corresponding to the determined scaling direction (eg, a direction of increasing or decreasing). Thereafter, the process can return to block 4104 where additional crown position information can be received.

  It should be understood that blocks 4104, 4106, and 4108 can be performed repeatedly 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 having an image of triangle 4202. At block 4102 of the process 4100, the processor 202 of the device 100 can cause the 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, the scaling speed and scaling direction can be determined. Since the current scrolling speed is 0 and the crown 108 is not currently rotated, the new scaling speed can be determined to be 0 using equation 1.2. At block 4108, the processor 202 can cause the display 106 to update the display using the speed and direction determined at block 4106. However, since the determined speed was zero, no changes to the display need be made. For illustrative purposes, FIGS. 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.

Next, referring to FIG. 43, the crown 108 is rotated in the upward rotation direction at the rotation speed 4302. Again, the processor 202 can receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 4104 as before. Therefore, at block 4106, the processor 202 can convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN and determine a new scaling speed V _T. In this example, the upward rotation of the crown coincides with a positive scaling direction (eg, a direction that increases the size of the view). In other examples, other directions can be used. 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 increases the size of triangle 4202 at a rate of change corresponding to the determined scaling speed. Since the crown 108 has just begun to rotate, the rotational speed 4302 can be relatively low compared to the typical rotational speed of the crown. Therefore, the scaling speed can similarly have a relatively low value compared to the typical or maximum scroll speed. As a result, only small changes in the size of the triangle 4202 can be observed.

Referring now to FIG. 43, the crown 108 is being rotated in the upward direction of rotation at a rotational speed 4304 that can be greater than the rotational speed 4302. Again, the processor 202 can receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from the encoder 204 at block 4104 as before. Therefore, at block 4106, the processor 202 can convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN and 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) . 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 , the new scaling rate can be less than the previous scaling rate. In the example shown, 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 increases the size of the triangle 4202 at the determined scaling rate. Since the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to the rotational speed 4304 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scaling rate can be greater than the previous scaling rate. As a result, a change in the size of the triangle 4202 larger than that shown in FIG. 43 can be observed.

Similar to the scrolling performed using process 2100, the scaling of the view encompassing triangle 4202 can continue after crown 108 has stopped rotating. However, because of the value of ΔV _DRAG in Equation 1.2, the rate at which the size of the view that includes triangle 4202 increases can decrease over time. In addition, similar scaling can be performed to reduce the size of the view that includes the triangle 4202 in response to the 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 scrolling performed using process 2100, the speed and direction of scaling can be set to zero in response to rotation of crown 108 in a direction opposite to the direction of scaling. This can be done to allow the user to quickly change the direction of scaling.

  Further, in some examples, velocity scaling can reverse direction once the minimum or maximum scaling of the view is reached. 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 in the opposite direction (eg, zoom out) at the same speed that this view was scaled before the scaling limit was reached. Can do.

  In some examples, scrolling or scaling performed in any of the processes described above (eg, processes 300, 900, 1500, 2100, or 4100) stops in response to changes in the context of the electronic device. Can be made. The context can represent any condition that constitutes the environment in which the crown position information is 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 device view, or the like. For illustrative purposes, if the crown position information indicating that the position of the crown 108 has been received while performing the process 300, the device 100 may display a list of applications as described above. You can scroll. However, in response to the user selecting one of the displayed applications and thereby changing the context in such a way that the device 100 opens the application, the device 100 is within the opened application. In order to prevent the scroll function from being performed, the previously performed scroll function of block 306 can be stopped. In some examples, after detecting a context change, the device 100 may also ignore input from the crown 108 by stopping the scrolling function of block 306 even if the crown 108 continues to rotate. Can do. In some examples, the device 100 may stop performing the scroll function of block 306 in response to a change 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 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, or more than 4 seconds. Similar behavior can also be performed in response to detecting a context change while performing process 900 or 1500. For example, in response to detecting a context change, the device 100 can stop performing a scrolling or scaling function that was previously performed. In addition, in some examples, after detecting a change in context, the device 100 also scrolls or zooms the view in response to a change in the position of the crown 108 for a threshold length of time after detecting the change in context. By quitting, the input from the crown 108 can be ignored. Similar behavior can also be performed in response to detecting a context change while executing block 2100 or 4100. For example, in response to detecting a change in context, the device 100 can stop a scrolling or zooming function that was previously performed having a non-zero speed. In addition, in some examples, after detecting a change in context, the device 100 also scrolls or zooms the view in response to a change in the position of the crown 108 for a threshold length of time after detecting the change in context. By quitting, the input from the crown 108 can be ignored. By stopping the scrolling or scaling function in response to detecting a change in context and / or ignoring future inputs from the crown 108, inputs entered while operating in one context Carrying over to another context in an undesired manner can be advantageously prevented. For example, using the process 300, the user can use the crown 108 to scroll through the list of applications and select the desired music application while the crown 108 continues to rotate due to the splash of the crown 108. . If the scroll function is not stopped in response to detecting a change in context and the input from the crown 108 is not ignored, the device 100 may cause the scroll function to be executed 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 examples, certain types of context changes may not result in the device 100 stopping an ongoing scrolling or scaling function, and / or the device 100 may be removed from the crown 108 in the future. It is not necessary to ignore the input. For example, if the device 100 is displaying multiple views or objects simultaneously in the display 106, selection between the displayed views or objects causes the device 100 to perform scrolling or scaling functions as described above. It may not stop and / or the device 100 may not ignore future inputs of the crown 108. For example, the device 100 can simultaneously display two sets of lines of text similar to those shown in FIG. In this example, device 100 can use process 900 to scroll one of the sets. In response to a user selection of the other set of text lines (eg, via a tap on the touch-sensitive display of the device 100 at a location corresponding to the other set of text lines), the device 100 may change the previous scroll speed. And / or based on a change in the current detected crown 108 position, the other set of lines of text can begin to scroll. However, if a different type of context change occurs (eg, a new application is opened, an item not currently displayed by the device 100 is selected, or the like), the device 100 may As has been done, the scrolling or scaling function in progress can be stopped and / or input from the crown 108 can be ignored for a threshold time length. In another example, previous scrolling in response to a 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 through the other set of text lines based on changes in speed and / or current crown 108 position, the device 100 can stop the ongoing scrolling or scaling function, and During the threshold time length, input from the crown 108 can be ignored. However, the threshold duration is used for changes in other types of context changes (eg, when a new application is opened, an item not currently displayed by the device 100 is selected, or the like). It can be shorter than the threshold time length to be set. Although specific types of context changes are 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 a capacitive sensor 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 the crown 108 can 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, the device 100 may be configured to perform scrolling or scaling functions as described above with respect to the processes 300, 900, 1500, 2100, or 4100. In response to detecting a sudden stop of rotation of the crown 108 (e.g., stopping or a decrease in rotational speed exceeding a threshold) while contact with the crown 108 is detected, the device 100 is performing scrolling that is being performed. Or scaling can be stopped. This event may represent a situation where the user indicates a request to rotate the crown 108 rapidly but intentionally stop it and stop scrolling or scaling. However, in response to detecting a sudden stop of rotation of the crown 108 (eg, a stop or a decrease in rotational speed exceeding a threshold) while no contact with the crown 108 is detected, the device 100 is executed. Scrolling or scaling can continue. This event occurs when the user rotates his / her crown 108 rapidly by performing a forward or backward flip gesture, releases his / her finger from the crown 108, and winds the crown 108 further using the flip gesture. The situation where the wrist is rotated in the reverse direction can be represented. In this situation, the user is likely not intended to stop scrolling or scaling.

  Although the processes 300, 900, 2100, and 4100 have been described above as being used to perform scrolling or scaling of a display object or view, they can be any type of value associated with an electronic device. It should be understood that more generally can be applied to adjust For example, instead of scrolling or scaling the view in a particular direction in response to changes in the position of the crown 108, the device 100 may instead select a selected value (eg, volume, time in the video, or any The other values can be increased by some amount or speed in a manner similar to that described above for scrolling or scaling.
