Abstract

To provide a method of operating a user interface on a wearable electronic device using a mechanical winding crown, a storage medium, and an electronic device.SOLUTION: In a method, a user interface on a wearable electronic device can perform scroll or scaling in response to rotation of a winding crown, and a direction and an amount of the scroll or the scaling depend on a direction and an amount of the rotation of the winding crown. The amount of scroll or the scaling is proportional to a change in a rotation angle of the wining crown. In another example, a scroll speed or a scaling speed depends on an angular rotation speed of the winding crown, and as the rotation speed becomes greater, scroll speed or scaling speed becomes greater on a displayed view.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

TECHNICAL FIELD The following disclosure relates generally to wearable electronic devices and, more particularly, to interfaces for wearable electronic devices.

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

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

Existing methods for manipulating user interface objects on miniaturized size touch-sensitive displays can be inefficient. Furthermore, existing methods generally provide accuracy that is not as high as would be desirable.

The present disclosure relates to operating a user interface on a wearable electronic device using a mechanical crown. In some examples, the user interface may scroll or scale in response to crown rotation. 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 rotation angle of the crown. In other examples, the scrolling speed or scaling speed can depend on the angular rotation speed of the crown. In these examples, a greater rotation speed may cause a greater scrolling or scaling speed to be performed on the displayed view.

3 illustrates an example computing system for changing a user interface in response to crown rotation, according to various examples.

In the following disclosure and description of examples, reference is made to the accompanying drawings in which specific examples are illustrated in which they may be practiced. It is to be understood that other examples may be implemented and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of this 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 may scroll or scale in response to crown rotation. 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 rotation angle of the crown. In other examples, the scrolling speed or scaling speed can depend on the angular rotation speed of the crown. In these examples, a greater rotation speed may cause a greater scrolling or scaling speed to be performed on the displayed view.

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

Conventionally, the term "crown" in the context of a watch refers to the cap on the stem for winding the 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. 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 (eg, forward and backward). The crown 108 can also be pushed toward the body of the device 100 and/or pulled away from the device 100. The crown 108 can be touch sensitive, for example using capacitive touch technology that can detect whether a user is touching the crown. Furthermore, the crown 108 can also be oscillated in one or more directions or translated along a trajectory along an edge or at least partially around the periphery of the body 102. In some examples, more than one crown 108 may be used. The visual appearance of the crown 108 can resemble, but need not resemble, a conventional watch crown. 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. Further, 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, projected scanning touch sensing, or the like. a liquid crystal display (LCD), a light-emitting diode (LED) display, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, located partially or completely behind or in front of the It may include display equipment, such as the like. The display 106 may enable a user to perform various functions by hovering near and touching the touch-sensitive panel using one or more fingers or other objects. .

In some examples, device 100 may 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 can be controlled for any desired purpose, such as making a selection, entering or exiting a menu, causing the display of additional options/actions, or the like. can be used as an input to the device 100 for performing operations. In some examples, different actions may be performed based on the amount of force or pressure being applied to display 106. One or more pressure sensors can further be used to determine where force is being applied to 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 an encoder 204. The encoder 204 monitors the physical state of the crown 108, or a change in the physical state (e.g., the position of the crown), and converts it into an electrical signal (e.g., converts it to the position of the crown 108, or a change in the position). to an analog or digital signal representation) and provide that signal to processor 202. For example, in some examples, encoder 204 may be configured to sense the absolute rotational position of crown 108 (e.g., an angle between 0 and 360 degrees) and output an analog or digital representation of this position to processor 202. I can do it. Alternatively, in other examples, encoder 204 senses changes in the rotational position of crown 108 (e.g., changes 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 and 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 (e.g., velocity, acceleration, or the like) and transmit crown rotation information to processor 202. can be provided. Rotational speed can be expressed in many ways. For example, rotational speed can be expressed as Hertz, rotation per unit time (rotation), rotation per frame (rotation), rotation per unit time (revolution), rotation per frame (revolution), It can be expressed in direction and speed of rotation, such as change in 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 the crown 108 to control scrolling or scaling of the view, any other physical state of the crown 108 may be used. I want you to understand that I can do it.

In some examples, the physical state of the crown can control physical attributes of display 106. For example, when the crown 108 is in a particular position (eg, rotated forward), the z-axis transverse ability of the display 106 may be limited. In other words, the physical state of the crown can represent the physical mode functionality of display 106. In some examples, the temporal attributes of the physical state of the crown 108 may 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.

Processor 202 may be further coupled to receive touch signals from touch-sensitive display 106 as well as input signals from buttons 110, 112, and 114. Processor 202 may be configured to interpret these input signals and output appropriate display signals to cause images to be generated by touch-sensitive display 106. 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 example process 300 for scrolling through a displayed set of applications using a crown, according to various examples. In some examples, process 300 can be performed by a wearable electronic device similar to device 100. In these examples, a visual representation (e.g., an icon, a graphical image, a text image, and the like) of one or more applications of the set of applications may be displayed on the display 106 of the device 100 and Process 300 may be performed to visually scroll through the set of applications by sequentially displaying the applications in response to rotation of 108 . In some examples, 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 from 0 to 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 may be coupled to a crown similar to crown 108 to monitor and measure its position. The encoder can convert the position of crown 108 into crown position information that can be transmitted to a processor similar to processor 202.

At block 304, it may be determined whether a change in position is detected. In some examples, if the crown position information includes an absolute position of the crown, determining whether a change in position has occurred may be performed by comparing the position of the crown at two different instances of time. I can do it. For example, the processor (e.g., processor 202) may determine the immediate 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., the previous) position. If the positions are the same or within a threshold value (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 value, 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 some length of time, determining whether a change in position has occurred may be determined by determining whether the absolute value of the change in position is equal to zero. , or less than a threshold value (e.g., 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 a threshold value, it can be determined that no change in position has occurred. However, if the absolute value of the change in position is greater than 0 or a threshold value, it can be determined that a change in position has occurred.

If it is determined at block 304 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, at block 304, it is determined that a change in crown position has been detected, the process may proceed to block 306. As described herein, a positive determination at block 304 may cause the process to proceed to block 306, while a negative determination may cause the process to return to block 302. However, the decision made in block 304 can be reversed, such that a positive decision can cause the process to return to block 302, while a negative decision can cause the process to proceed to block 306. I want you to understand that I can do it. For example, block 304 may alternatively determine whether a change in position has 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 may 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. Additionally, applications can be ordered based on frequency of use, 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) may be displaying one or more applications of a 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 translated onto the display. You can make room for being moved. In some examples, one or more other applications that are translated onto the display may be translated onto the display based on their relative ordering within the set of applications that corresponds to the direction opposite to the direction of translation. can be selected for. The direction of translation can depend on the direction of change in crown position. For example, turning the crown clockwise can cause scrolling of the display in one direction, while turning the crown counterclockwise causes scrolling of the display in a second (e.g., opposite) direction. Scrolling can occur. Additionally, the distance or speed of scrolling can depend on the amount of detected change in crown position. Scroll distance can refer to the distance on the screen that content is scrolled. Scrolling speed can refer to the distance that content is scrolled over a length of time. In some examples, the distance or speed of scrolling can be proportional to the amount of rotation detected. For example, the amount of scrolling corresponding to half a revolution of the crown may be equal to 50% of the amount of scrolling corresponding to one revolution 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 other examples, scrolling may continue by looping around to the opposite end of the list of applications. The process can then return to block 302 where new crown position information can be received.

It should be appreciated that the actual values used to linearly map changes in crown position to scrolling distance or speed may vary depending on the desired functionality of the device. Additionally, it should be appreciated that other correspondences between scroll amount or speed and change in crown position may be used. For example, acceleration, velocity (described in more detail with respect to FIGS. 21-44 below), or the like may be used to determine the distance or speed of scrolling. Additionally, a 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 a visual representation (e.g., icons, graphical images, text images, and the like) of application 406, and portions of the visual representations of applications 404 and 408. 1 shows an example interface of device 100. Applications 404, 406, and 408 may include any number of ordered or unordered applications (e.g., 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 similar items). At block 302 of process 300 , processor 202 of device 100 may receive crown position information from encoder 204 . Since crown 108 has not been rotated in FIG. 4, a negative determination may be made by processor 202 at block 304, which causes the process to return to block 302.

Referring now to FIG. 5, crown 108 has been rotated upwardly as indicated by rotation direction 502. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information reflecting this rotation from encoder 204 at block 302 of process 300. Therefore, processor 202 may make an affirmative determination at block 304, which causes the process to proceed to block 306. At block 306, processor 202 may cause display 106 to scroll through at least a portion of the set of applications on device 100. The scroll can have a scroll direction 504 that corresponds to a rotation direction 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 may 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 applications in a scrolling direction 504. As a result, application 408 is completely pushed off display 106, a portion of application 406 is pushed off display 106, and a larger portion of application 404 is displayed on display 106. 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 scrolling direction 504, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, application 406 is barely visible on the right side of display 106, application 404 is centered within display 106, and newly displayed application 402 is displayed on the left side of display 106. In this example, application 402 may be another application within the set of applications and may have an ordered position to the left or in front of application 404. In some examples, if application 402 is the first application in the list of applications and the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 502, processor 202 causes application 402 to be centered within the display. Scrolling of display 106 can be limited such that scrolling stops when the display 106 is pressed. Alternatively, in other examples, processor 202 continues scrolling display 106 by looping to the end of the set of applications and moves the last application in the set of applications (e.g., application 408) to the 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. Therefore, processor 202 may make an affirmative determination at block 304, which causes the process to proceed to block 306. At block 306 , processor 202 may cause display 106 to scroll the view of the application in a scroll direction 508 that corresponds to rotation direction 506 . In this example, scroll direction 508 is the opposite direction of scroll direction 504. However, it should be understood that scroll direction 508 can be any desired direction. Similar to the scrolling performed in response to 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 depends on the characteristics of the rotation of the crown 108 (e.g., distance, velocity, acceleration). , or similar). In the illustrated example, the scroll distance may 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 applications in a scrolling direction 508. As a result, application 402 is completely ejected from display 106, application 404 is partially ejected from display 106, and application 406 has a larger portion displayed on display 106. 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 scrolling 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 again displayed 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 rotational direction 508, processor 202 causes application 408 to be centered within the display. , the scrolling of the display 106 can be limited so that the scrolling is stopped. Alternatively, in other examples, processor 202 continues scrolling display 106 by looping to the beginning of the set of applications and moves the first application of the set of applications (e.g., application 402) to the right of application 408. can be displayed.

Although specific scrolling examples are provided, it should be understood that the mechanical crown of the wearable electronic device can be used in a similar manner to similarly scroll other displays of the application. Additionally, the distance or speed of scrolling can be configured to depend on any characteristic 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 to be displayed. For example, a view may 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 more generally applied to any type of content or view displayed on a display of a 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 in response to rotation of the crown 108. I can do it. In some examples, 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 with respect to block 302. For example, crown position information may be received by a processor (e.g., processor 202) from an encoder (e.g., encoder 204), and may include an absolute position of the crown, a change in rotational position of the crown, or other positional information of the crown. Can include analog or digital representations.

At block 904, it may be determined whether a change in position is detected in a manner similar or identical to that described above with respect to block 304. For example, block 904 can include comparing the position of the crown at two different instances of time, or determining whether the absolute value of the change in crown position is equal to zero or below a threshold. can include. If no change in position is detected, the process may return to block 902. Alternatively, if a change in position is detected, the process can proceed to block 906. As described herein, a positive determination at block 904 may cause the process to proceed to block 906, while a negative determination may cause the process to return to block 902. However, the decision made in block 904 can be reversed, such that a positive decision can cause the process to return to block 902, while a negative decision can cause the process to proceed to block 906. I want you to understand that I can do it. For example, block 904 may alternatively determine whether a change in position has 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 (e.g., crown 108), the currently displayed portion of the content is translated out of the display for other portions of the content that were not previously displayed. You can free up space for The direction of translation can depend on the direction of change in crown position. For example, turning the crown clockwise can cause scrolling of the display in one direction, while turning the crown counterclockwise causes scrolling of the display in a second (e.g., opposite) direction. Scrolling can occur. Additionally, the distance or speed of scrolling can depend on the amount of detected change in crown position. In some examples, the distance or speed of scrolling can be proportional to the amount of rotation detected. For example, the amount of scrolling corresponding to half a revolution of the crown may be equal to 50% of the amount of scrolling corresponding to one revolution of the crown. The process can then return to block 902 where new crown position information can be received.

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

To further explain the operation of process 900, FIG. 10 shows an exemplary interface of device 100 having a visual representation of lines of text containing numbers 1-9. At block 902 of process 900 , processor 202 of device 100 may receive crown position information from encoder 204 . Since crown 108 has not been rotated in FIG. 10, a negative determination may be made by processor 202 at block 904, which causes the process to return 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. Therefore, processor 202 may make an affirmative determination at block 904, which causes the process to proceed to block 906. At block 906, processor 202 may cause display 106 to scroll the lines of text displayed on display 106. The scroll can have a scroll direction 1104 that corresponds to a rotation direction 1102 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 may be proportional to the amount of rotation of the crown 108. As shown, display 106 can scroll lines of text by translating the text in scroll direction 1104. As a result, a portion of row 1002 is ejected from display 106, while a portion of row 1004 is newly displayed on the bottom of display 106. The lines of text between lines 1002 and 1004 have been similarly translated in the 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 lines of text in scrolling direction 1104, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 12, row 1002 is no longer visible within display 106 and row 1004 is now completely within view of display 106. In some examples, 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 within display 106. , the scrolling of the display 106 can be limited so that the scrolling is stopped. In other examples, processor 202 may continue scrolling 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 line 1004. Yet another example is to perform a rubberbanding effect by displaying a margin below line 1004 and flipping the line of text back upon stopping rotation of crown 108 to align line 1004 with the bottom of display 106. I can do it. It should be appreciated that the actions performed in response to reaching the end of the content displayed within display 106 can 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. Therefore, processor 202 may make an affirmative determination at block 904, which causes the process to proceed to block 906. At block 906 , processor 202 may cause display 106 to scroll the line of text in a scroll direction 1108 that corresponds to rotation direction 1106 . In this example, scroll direction 1108 is the opposite direction of scroll direction 1104. However, it should be understood that scroll direction 1108 can be any desired direction. Similar to the scrolling performed in response to rotation of the crown 108 in the rotational direction 1102, the scrolling performed in response to the rotation of the crown 108 in the rotational direction 1106 depends on the characteristics of the rotation of the crown 108 (e.g., distance, velocity, acceleration , or similar). In the illustrated example, the scroll distance may 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 in a scroll direction 1108. As a result, a portion of row 1004 can be pushed off display 106 while a portion of row 1002 can be redisplayed at 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 scrolling direction 1108, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, row 1004 has been translated and moved out of 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 rotational direction 1106, processor 202 will scroll when line 1002 is at the top of display 106. Scrolling of the display 106 can be limited so as to stop the display 106 from moving. In other examples, processor 202 may continue scrolling 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. Yet another example is to perform a rubberbanding effect by displaying a margin above line 1002 and flipping the line of text back upon stopping rotation of crown 108 to align line 1002 with the top of display 106. I can do it. It should be appreciated that the actions performed in response to reaching the end of the content displayed within display 106 can be selected based on the type of data being displayed.

Although specific scrolling examples are provided, the mechanical crown of a wearable electronic device can be used in a similar manner to similarly scroll other types of data, such as media items, web pages, or the like. I hope you understand that you can. Additionally, the distance or speed of scrolling can be configured to depend on any characteristic of the crown.

FIG. 15 illustrates an example process 1500 for scaling a view of a display (eg, zooming in or out) using a crown, according to various examples. A view can include a visual representation of any type of data to be displayed. For example, a view may include a display of text, media items, web pages, maps, or the like. Process 1500 is similar to processes 300 and 900, except that instead of scrolling between applications or scrolling the view of the instrument, the view can be scaled positively or negatively depending on the rotation of the crown. It can be similar. In some examples, process 1500 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 1500 may be performed to visually scale the view in response to rotation of the crown 108. I can do it.

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 by a processor (e.g., processor 202) from an encoder (e.g., encoder 204), and may include an absolute position of the crown, a change in rotational position of the crown, or other positional information of the crown. Can include analog or digital representations.

At block 1504, it may be determined whether a change in position is detected in a manner similar or identical to that described above with respect to blocks 304 or 904. For example, block 1504 can include comparing the position of the crown at two different instances of time, or determining whether the absolute value of the change in crown position is equal to zero or below a threshold. can include. If no change in position is detected, the process may return to block 1502. Alternatively, if a change in position is detected, the process can proceed to block 1506. As described herein, a positive determination at block 1504 may cause the process to proceed to block 1506, while a negative determination may cause the process to return to block 1502. However, the decision made in block 1504 can be reversed, such that a positive decision can cause the process to return to block 1502, while a negative decision can cause the process to proceed to block 1506. I want you to understand that I can do it. For example, block 1504 may alternatively determine whether a change in position has been detected.

At block 1506, the view of the display may be scaled based on the detected change in position. Block 1506 may include visually scaling the view (eg, zooming in/out) in response to the detected change in crown position. 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 (e.g., crown 108), by increasing or decreasing the size of the currently displayed portion of the content within 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 content within the display's view (e.g., zoom in), while rotating the crown counterclockwise can increase the size of the content within the display's view. The size can be decreased (e.g. zoomed out). Additionally, 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 half a revolution of the crown may be equal to 50% of the scaling amount corresponding to one revolution of the crown. The process can then return to block 1502 where new crown position information can be received.

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

To further explain the operation of process 1500, FIG. 16 depicts an example interface of device 100 showing triangle 1602. At block 1502 of process 1500, processor 202 of device 100 may receive crown position information from encoder 204. Since crown 108 has not been rotated in FIG. 16, a negative determination may be made by processor 202 at block 1504, which causes the process to return 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. Therefore, processor 202 may make an affirmative determination at block 1504, which causes the process to proceed to block 1506. At block 1506, processor 202 may cause display 106 to scale the view being displayed on display 106. Scaling can increase or decrease the size of the view depending on the direction of rotation of the crown 108, and the amount or speed of scaling is based on characteristics of the rotation of the crown 108 (e.g., distance, velocity, acceleration, or the like). can have. In the illustrated example, the amount of scaling may be proportional to the amount of rotation of the crown 108. As shown, display 106 can scale the view encompassing triangle 1602 with a positive magnification factor. As a result, triangle 1602 in FIG. 17 appears larger than that shown in FIG. 16. As the user continues to rotate the crown 108 in the rotational direction 1702, the processor 202 continues to cause the display 106 to scale the view containing the image of the triangle 1602 using a positive magnification factor, as shown in FIG. Can be done. In FIG. 18, triangle 1602 appears larger than that shown in FIGS. 16 and 17. When crown 108 stops rotating, scaling of the view encompassing triangle 1602 can similarly stop. In some examples, processor 202 may limit the scaling of display 106 if the view of triangle 1602 is scaled to its maximum amount and the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 1702. Still other examples allow the size of the view encompassing triangle 1602 to increase to a rubber banding limit that is greater than the maximum scaling amount for the view, and then increase the size of the view in response to cessation of rotation of crown 108. By flipping the size back to its maximum scaling amount, a rubber banding effect can be performed. It should be appreciated that the actions performed in response to reaching the scaling limit of display 106 can be configured in any desired manner.

Referring now to FIG. 19, 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. Therefore, processor 202 may make an affirmative determination at block 1504, which causes the process to proceed to block 1506. At block 1506, processor 202 may cause display 106 to scale the view with a negative scaling factor that corresponds to rotation direction 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 (e.g., distance, velocity, acceleration , or similar). In the illustrated example, the amount of scaling may be proportional to the amount of rotation of the crown 108. As shown, display 106 can scale the view containing the image of triangle 1602 using a negative magnification factor. 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 continues to cause display 106 to scale the view of the image encompassed by triangle 1602 using a negative magnification factor, as shown in FIG. Can be done. In FIG. 20, triangle 1602 is smaller than that shown in FIGS. 18 and 19. When crown 108 stops rotating, scaling of the view encompassing triangle 1602 can similarly stop. In some examples, if the view encompassing triangle 1602 is scaled to its minimum amount and the user continues to rotate crown 108 in rotational direction 1704, processor 202 may limit the scaling of display 106. . Yet other examples allow the size of the view encompassing triangle 1602 to be reduced to a rubber banding limit that is less than the minimum amount of scaling for the view, and then reduce the size of the view in response to cessation of rotation of crown 108. By flipping the size back to its minimum scaling amount, a rubber banding effect can be performed. It should be appreciated that the actions performed in response to reaching the scaling limit of display 106 can be configured in any desired manner.

Although specific scaling examples are provided, the mechanical crown of a wearable electronic device can be used in a similar manner to similarly view other types of data, such as media items, web pages, or the like. Please understand that it can be scaled. Additionally, the amount or speed of scaling can be configured to depend on any characteristics of the crown. Additionally, in some examples, once a minimum or maximum scaling of the view is reached, scaling in the opposite direction can occur by continuing to rotate the crown in the same direction. For example, upward rotation of the crown can cause the view to zoom in. However, when a 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 example process 2100 for scrolling a view of a display based on the angular rotation rate of a crown, according to various examples. A view can include a visual representation of any type of data to be displayed. For example, a view may 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 rate that is dependent on the angular rotation rate 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 in response to rotation of the crown 108. I can do it. In some examples, 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 may be displayed. As mentioned above, a view can include any visual representation of any type of data displayed by the device's display.

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 (e.g., processor 202) from an encoder (e.g., encoder 204), and may include an absolute position of the crown, a change in rotational position of the crown, or other positional information of the crown. Can include analog or digital representations.

At block 2106, a scroll speed (eg, speed and scroll direction) may be determined. In some examples, view scrolling may be determined using physics-based motion modeling. For example, a view can be treated as an object that has a speed of movement that corresponds to the speed of scrolling across the device's display. 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 greater angular rotation speed may 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. Additionally, a drag force can be applied in a direction opposite to the scrolling direction. This can be used to decay the scrolling speed over time, allowing scrolling to stop without additional input from the user. Therefore, the scroll speed at discrete points in time can take the following general form:

In Equation 1.1, V _T represents the determined scrolling speed (speed and direction) at time T, and V _(T-1) represents the previous scrolling speed (speed and direction) at time T-1. , 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 velocity of the view caused by the drag force in the opposite direction to the view movement (view scrolling). . 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. Typically, the greater the angular rotation speed of the crown, the greater the value of ΔV _CROWN . However, the actual correspondence between crown angular rotation speed and ΔV _CROWN can be varied depending on the desired user feel of the scrolling effect. For example, various linear or non-linear correspondences between crown angular rotation speed and ΔV _CROWN can be used. In some examples, ΔV _DRAG can depend on scroll speed, such that higher speeds can produce larger opposite speed changes. In other examples, ΔV _DRAG can have a constant value. However, it should be understood that any fixed or variable amount of opposite velocity changes can be used to create the desired scrolling effect. Typically _, in the _absence of user input in the form of ΔV _CROWN , _V Note that without user input in the form of ), V _T will not change sign.

As can be seen from Equation 1.1, as long as ΔV _CROWN is greater than ΔV _DRAG , the scrolling speed can continue to increase. Additionally, 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 even if the user does not rotate the crown. The scroll distance and time until the scroll stops may depend on the scroll speed and the ΔV _DRAG component when the user stops rotating the crown.

In some examples, the V _(T-1) component can be reset to a value of 0 when the crown is rotated in a direction that corresponds to the scroll direction that is opposite to the direction in which the view is currently scrolled. , allows the user to quickly change the direction of scrolling without having to provide sufficient force to offset the view's current scrolling speed.

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 that corresponds to the determined scroll speed and in a direction that corresponds to the determined scroll direction. The process may then return to block 2104, where additional crown position information may be received.

It should be appreciated that blocks 2104, 2106, and 2108 can be executed repeatedly as often as desired to continuously determine the scroll speed and update the display accordingly.

To further explain the operation of process 2100, FIG. 22 shows an example interface of device 100 having a visual representation of lines of text containing 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, processor 202 may receive crown position information from encoder 204. At block 2106, scroll speed and scroll direction may be determined. Since the current scroll speed is zero, and since crown 108 is not currently being rotated, equation 1.1 can be used to determine that the new scroll speed is zero. At block 2108, processor 202 may cause display 106 to update the display using the speed and direction determined at block 2106. However, since the determined speed was 0, no changes need to be made to the display. For purposes of illustration, FIGS. 23-29 show subsequent views of the interface shown in FIG. 22 at different points in time. Here, the time length between each view is equal.

Referring now to FIG. 23, the crown 108 has been rotated in an upward rotational direction at a rotational speed 2302. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information from encoder 204 at block 2104 that reflects this rotation. Therefore, at block 2106, processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN and determine a new scroll speed V _T . In this example, rotation of the crown 108 in the upward direction corresponds to an upward scrolling direction. In other examples, other directions can be used. At block 2108, processor 202 may cause display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 23, this update causes the line of text to translate upward at scroll speed 2304. Since the crown 108 has just begun to rotate, the rotational speed 2302 can be relatively low compared to typical rotational speeds of the crown. Therefore, the scroll speed 2304 can also have a relatively low value compared to the typical or maximum scroll speed. As a result, only the portion of the line of text containing the value "1" has been translated and exited the display.

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

Referring now to FIG. 25, crown 108 is rotated in an upward rotational direction at rotational speed 2310, which can be greater than rotational speed 2306. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information from encoder 204 at block 2104 that reflects this rotation. Therefore, at block 2106, processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN and determine a new scroll speed V _T . Since the display previously had a non-zero scroll speed value (e.g., as shown in FIG. 24), the new value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 2310 is set to the previous scroll speed value V _(T-1) ( For example, the scroll speed 2308 can be added to the scroll speed 2308. Therefore, new scroll speed 2312 can be greater than scroll speed 2308 as long as the new value of ΔV _CROWN is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . However, if the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 2310 is less than the value of ΔV _DRAG , then new scroll speed 2312 can be less than scroll speed 2308. In the illustrated example, the new value of ΔV _CROWN is assumed to be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . At block 2108, processor 202 may cause display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 25, this update causes the line of text to translate upward at scroll speed 2312. Scroll speed 2312 can be greater than scroll speed 2308 because the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 2310 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . As a result, the line of text is translated a greater distance over the same amount of time, such that 1.5 lines of text have been translated vertically and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 26, crown 108 is rotated in an upward rotational direction at rotational speed 2314, which can be greater than rotational speed 2310. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information from encoder 204 at block 2104 that reflects this rotation. Therefore, at block 2110, processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN and determine a new scroll speed V _T . Since the display previously had a non-zero scroll speed value (e.g., as shown in FIG. 25), the new value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 2314 is set to the previous scroll speed value V _(T-1) ( For example, it can be added to the scroll speed 2312). Therefore, new scroll speed 2316 can be greater than 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 rotational speed 2314 is less than the value of ΔV _DRAG , then new scroll speed 2316 can be less than scroll speed 2312. In the illustrated example, the new value of ΔV _CROWN is assumed to be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . At block 2108, processor 202 may cause display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 26, this update causes the line of text to translate upward at scroll speed 2316. Scroll speed 2316 can be greater than scroll speed 2312 because the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 2314 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . As a result, the line of text is translated a greater distance over the same amount of time, such that two lines of text are translated vertically and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 27, crown 108 has not been rotated in any direction. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information from encoder 204 at block 2104 that reflects this rotation. Therefore, at block 2110, processor 202 may determine a new scroll speed V _T based on the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (e.g., having 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 performed. However, if the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (eg, having scroll speed 2316) is equal to the value of ΔV _DRAG , then the scroll speed may have a value of 0. 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, processor 202 may cause display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll 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) (e.g., having a scroll speed of 2316) can be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scrolling Speed 2318 can have a non-zero value that is less than scroll speed 2316. As a result, the line of text is translated a shorter distance over the same amount of time, such that 1.5 lines of text are translated vertically and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 28, crown 108 has not been rotated in any direction. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information from encoder 204 at block 2104 that reflects this rotation. Therefore, at block 2110, processor 202 may determine a new scroll speed V _T based on the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (e.g., having 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 crown rotation is not performed. However, if the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (eg, having scroll speed 2318) is equal to the value of ΔV _DRAG , then the scroll speed may have a value of 0. 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, processor 202 may cause display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 28, this update causes the line of text to translate upward at scroll speed 2320. Since ΔV _DRAG can have a non-zero value, and the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (e.g., with scroll speed 2318) can be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scrolling Speed 2320 can have a non-zero value that is less than scroll speed 2318. As a result, the line of text is translated a shorter distance over the same amount of time, thereby causing a line of text to be translated vertically and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 29, crown 108 has not been rotated in any direction. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information from encoder 204 at block 2104 that reflects this rotation. Therefore, at block 2110, processor 202 may determine a new scroll speed V _T based on the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (e.g., having 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 crown rotation is not performed. However, if the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (eg, having a scroll speed of 2320) is equal to the value of ΔV _DRAG , then the scroll speed may have a value of 0. 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, processor 202 may cause display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 29, this update causes the line of text to translate upward at scroll speed 2322. Since ΔV _DRAG can have a non-zero value, and the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) (e.g., with a scroll speed of 2320) can be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG , the scrolling Speed 2322 can have a non-zero value that is less than scroll speed 2320. As a result, the line of text is translated a shorter distance over the same amount of time, such that 0.5 lines of text are translated vertically and out of the display. This decay in scroll speed may continue until the previous scroll speed V _(T-1) becomes equal to the value of ΔV _DRAG , thereby causing the scroll speed to drop 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 explain the operation of process 2100, FIG. 30 shows an example interface of device 100 having a visual representation of lines of text containing numbers 1-9 similar to that shown in FIG. 31-36 illustrate scrolling 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. 23-28. , showing scrolling of the display in . Therefore, the length of time between subsequent views shown in FIGS. 31-36 is equal. For purposes of illustration, FIGS. 37-40 show subsequent views of the interface shown in FIG. 36 at different points in time. 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 rotation speed 3702 can be performed. In this example, processor 202 may again receive crown position information from encoder 204 at block 2104 that reflects this downward rotation. At block 2106, processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN and determine a new scroll speed V _T . Since _the downward rotation of the crown 108 is in the opposite direction of scrolling as shown in _FIG . can. In some examples, the new scroll speed V _T is determined by adding the new ΔV _CROWN value (with opposite polarity) to the previous scroll speed value V _(T-1) and subtracting the ΔV _DRAG value. It can be calculated. In other examples, such as the one shown in FIG. 37, when the rotation of crown 108 is in the opposite direction to that of the previous scroll (e.g., when the polarity of ΔV _CROWN is opposite 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, processor 202 may cause display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 37, this update causes the line of text to translate downward at scroll speed 3704. Since the crown 108 has just begun to rotate, the rotational speed 3702 can be relatively low compared to typical rotational speeds of the crown. Therefore, the scroll speed 3704 can also have a relatively low value compared to the typical or maximum scroll speed. As a result, a relatively slow scroll can be performed, whereby 0.5 lines of text are translated vertically out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 38, crown 108 is rotated in a downward rotational direction at rotational speed 3706, which can be greater than rotational speed 3702. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information from encoder 204 at block 2104 that reflects this rotation. Therefore, at block 2106, processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN and determine a new scroll speed V _T . Because the display previously had a non-zero scroll speed value (e.g., as shown in FIG. 37), the new value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 3706 is set to the previous scroll speed value V _(T-1) ( For example, the scroll speed 3704 can be added to the scroll speed 3704. Therefore, new scroll speed 3708 can be greater than 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 rotational speed 3706 is less than the value of ΔV _DRAG , then new scroll speed 3708 can be less than scroll speed 3704. In the illustrated example, the new value of ΔV _CROWN is assumed to be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . At block 2108, processor 202 may cause display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 38, this update causes the line of text to translate downward at scroll speed 3708. Scroll speed 3708 can be greater than scroll speed 3704 because the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotation speed 3706 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . As a result, the line of text is translated a greater distance over the same amount of time, such that a full line of text is translated vertically and out of the display.

Referring now to FIG. 39, crown 108 is rotated in a downward rotational direction at rotational speed 3710, which can be greater than rotational speed 3706. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information from encoder 204 at block 2104 that reflects this rotation. Therefore, at block 2106, processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN and determine a new scroll speed V _T . Because the display previously had a non-zero scroll speed value (e.g., as shown in FIG. 38), the new value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 3710 is set to the previous scroll speed value V _(T-1) ( For example, the scroll speed 3708 can be added to the scroll speed 3708). Therefore, new scroll speed 3712 can be greater than 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 rotational speed 3710 is less than the value of ΔV _DRAG , then new scroll speed 3712 can be less than scroll speed 3708. In the illustrated example, the new value of ΔV _CROWN is assumed to be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . At block 2108, processor 202 may cause display 106 to update the display based on the determined scroll speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 39, this update causes the line of text to translate downward at scroll speed 3712. Scroll speed 3712 can be greater than scroll speed 3708 because the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotation speed 3710 is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . As a result, the line of text is translated a greater distance over the same amount of time, such that 1.5 lines of text have been translated vertically and out of the display.

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

Although not shown, if crown 108 stops rotating, the view can continue to be scrolled downward in a manner similar to that described above with respect to FIGS. 35 and 36. The speed and amount of scrolling that can be performed may depend on the scrolling speed when crown 108 stops rotating and the value used for ΔV _DRAG .

Although specific scrolling examples are provided, it is understood that 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 to be understood. For example, process 2100 may be executed to scroll a list of applications in a manner similar to that described above with respect to process 300. However, the speed at which the application is scrolled when using process 2100 may depend on the angular rotation speed of the crown.

FIG. 41 illustrates an example process 4100 for scaling a view of a display based on the angular rotation rate of a crown, according to various examples. A view can include a visual representation of any type of data to be displayed. For example, a view may include a display of text, media items, web pages, or the like. Process 4100 is similar to process 2100, except that instead of determining a scrolling rate, process 4100 may determine a scaling rate (e.g., the amount and direction of change in size per unit time). Something can happen. Although the quantities 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 in response to rotation of the crown 108. Can be done.

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

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 (e.g., processor 202) from an encoder (e.g., encoder 204), and may include an absolute position of the crown, a change in rotational position of the crown, or other positional information of the crown. Can include analog or digital representations.

At block 4106, a scaling rate (eg, speed and positive/negative scaling direction) may 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 direction of rotation 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 move in different directions. For example, a greater angular rotation speed may correspond to a greater amount of 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. Additionally, a drag force can be applied in a direction opposite to the direction of movement (eg, scaling). This can be used to decay the scaling rate over time, allowing scaling to stop without additional input from the user. Therefore, the scaling rate at discrete points in time can take the following general form:

In Equation 1.2, V _T represents the determined scaling rate (speed and direction) at time T and V _(T-1) represents the previous scaling rate (speed and direction) at time T-1. , ΔV _CROWN represents the change in scaling speed caused by a force applied in response to crown rotation, and ΔV _DRAG represents the change in scaling speed caused by a drag force in the opposite direction of the scaling motion. As mentioned above, the force exerted on scaling 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. Typically, the greater the angular rotation speed of the crown, the greater the value of ΔV _CROWN . However, the actual correspondence between crown angular rotation speed 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, such that higher rates can produce larger opposite scaling changes. In other examples, ΔV _DRAG can have a constant value. However, it should be understood that any fixed or variable amount of opposite velocity change can be used to create the desired scaling effect. Typically, in the absence of user input in the form of ΔV _CROWN , V _T will approach (and become) 0 based on ΔV _DRAG according to Equation 1.2, but V _T Note that without user input in the form of rotation (ΔV _CROWN ), it will not change sign.

As can be seen from Equation 1.2, as long as ΔV _CROWN is greater than ΔV _DRAG , the scaling rate can continue to increase. Additionally, 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 rate, it can continue to scale even if the user does not rotate the crown. The amount of scaling and time until scaling stops can depend on the scaling speed and the ΔV _DRAG component when the user stops rotating the crown.

In some examples, the V _(T-1) component may be reset to a value of 0 when the crown is rotated in the opposite direction, corresponding to a 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 in a direction corresponding to the determined scaling direction (eg, larger or smaller) by an amount corresponding to the determined scaling speed. The process may then return to block 4104, where additional crown position information may be received.

It should be appreciated that blocks 4104, 4106, and 4108 can be executed repeatedly as often as desired to continually determine the scaling speed and update the display accordingly.

To further explain the operation of process 4100, FIG. 42 shows an example 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, processor 202 may receive crown position information from encoder 204. At block 4106, a scaling speed and direction may be determined. Since the current scrolling speed is zero and crown 108 is not currently being rotated, equation 1.2 can be used to determine that the new scaling speed is zero. At block 4108, processor 202 may cause display 106 to update the display using the speed and direction determined at block 4106. However, since the determined speed was 0, no changes need to be made to the display. For purposes of illustration, FIGS. 43 and 44 show subsequent views of the interface shown in FIG. 42 at different points in time. Here, the time length between each view is equal.

Referring now to FIG. 43, the crown 108 has been rotated in an upward rotational direction at a rotational speed 4302. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information from encoder 204 at block 4104 that reflects this rotation. Therefore, at block 4106, processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN and determine a new scaling speed V _T . In this example, upward crown rotation corresponds to a positive scaling direction (eg, increasing the size of the view). In other examples, other directions can be used. At block 4108, processor 202 may cause 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. Since the crown 108 has just begun to rotate, the rotational speed 4302 can be relatively low compared to typical rotational speeds of the crown. Therefore, the scaling speed can also 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, crown 108 is rotated in an upward rotational direction at rotational speed 4304, which can be greater than rotational speed 4302. Processor 202 may again receive crown position information from encoder 204 at block 4104 that reflects this rotation. Therefore, at block 4106, processor 202 may convert this rotational speed to a value of ΔV _CROWN and determine a new scaling speed V _T . Because the display previously had a non-zero scaling speed value (e.g., 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, the new scaling rate can be greater than the previous scaling rate as long as the new value of ΔV _CROWN is greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . However, if the value of ΔV _CROWN corresponding to rotational speed 4304 is less than the value of ΔV _DRAG , then the new scaling rate can be less than the previous scaling rate. In the illustrated example, the new value of ΔV _CROWN is assumed to be greater than the value of ΔV _DRAG . At block 4108, processor 202 may cause display 106 to update the display based on the determined scaling speed and direction. As shown in FIG. 44, this update has increased the size of triangle 4202 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 rate can be greater than the previous scaling rate. As a result, a larger change in the size of triangle 4202 than that shown in FIG. 43 can be observed.

Similar to scrolling performed using process 2100, scaling of the view encompassing triangle 4202 may continue after crown 108 stops rotating. However, because of the value of ΔV _DRAG in Equation 1.2, the rate at which the size of the view encompassing triangle 4202 increases can decrease over time. Additionally, a similar scaling can be performed that reduces the size of the view encompassing triangle 4202 in response to crown 108 being rotated in the opposite direction. The rate of scaling can be calculated in a manner similar to that used to calculate the positive scaling shown in FIGS. 42-44. Further, similar to 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.

Additionally, in some examples, velocity scaling can reverse direction when a minimum or maximum scaling of the view is reached. For example, the scaling speed may 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 (e.g., zoom out) at the same speed it was scaling before the scaling limit was reached. I can do it.

In some examples, scrolling or scaling performed in any of the processes described above (e.g., processes 300, 900, 1500, 2100, or 4100) is stopped in response to a change in the context of the electronic device. can be done. Context may represent any conditions that constitute 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 within a view of the device, or the like. By way of example, while performing process 300, if crown position information indicating a change in the position of crown 108 is received, device 100 updates the list of applications as described above. Can be scrolled. However, in response to a change in context such that the user selects one of the displayed applications, which causes device 100 to open that application, device 100 selects one of the displayed applications. To prevent the scroll function from being performed, the previously performed scroll function of block 306 may be stopped. In some examples, after detecting the change in context, the device 100 may also ignore input from the crown 108 by ceasing to perform the scrolling function of block 306 even though the crown 108 continues to be rotated. Can be done. In some examples, device 100 may cease performing the scrolling function of block 306 in response to a change in the position of crown 108 for a threshold amount of time 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 may also be performed in response to detecting a change in context while executing process 900 or 1500. For example, device 100 may cease performing a previously performed scrolling or scaling function in response to detecting a change in context. Additionally, in some examples, after detecting a change in context, device 100 also scrolls or zooms the view in response to the change in position of crown 108 for a threshold amount of time after detecting a change in context. The input from the crown 108 can also be ignored by not doing so. Similar behavior may also be performed in response to detecting a change in context while executing blocks 2100 or 4100. For example, device 100 may stop a previously occurring scroll or zoom function having a non-zero speed in response to detecting a change in context. Additionally, in some examples, after detecting a change in context, device 100 also scrolls or zooms the view in response to the change in position of crown 108 for a threshold amount of time after detecting a change in context. The input from the crown 108 can also be ignored by not doing so. By stopping scrolling or scaling functions in response to detecting a change in context and/or by ignoring future inputs from crown 108, inputs entered while operating in one context Carryover to another context in an undesired manner can advantageously be prevented. For example, a user may use process 300 to scroll through a list of applications using crown 108 and select a desired music application while the momentum of crown 108 continues to rotate crown 108. . If the scrolling 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 scrolling function to be performed within the selected application or crown 108. The input from 108 may end up being interpreted in a different way (eg, to adjust the volume of a music application) that was not intended by the user.

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 cause the device 100 to stop any future scrolling or scaling functions from the crown 108. does not have to ignore input. For example, if device 100 is displaying multiple views or objects simultaneously in display 106, selection among the displayed views or objects may cause 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, device 100 may simultaneously display two sets of lines of text similar to that shown in FIG. In this example, device 100 may use process 900 to scroll through one of the sets. In response to user selection of the other set of lines of text (e.g., via a tap on the touch-sensitive display of the device 100 at a location corresponding to the other set of lines of text), the device 100 changes the previous scrolling speed. and/or the other set of lines of text may begin to scroll based on the current detected change in crown 108 position. However, if a different type of context change occurs (e.g., a new application is opened, an item not currently displayed by the device 100 is selected, or the like), the device 100 As described above, any scrolling or scaling function in progress may be stopped and/or input from crown 108 may be ignored for a threshold amount of time. In other examples, previous scrolling may occur in response to user selection of the other set of lines of text (e.g., via a tap on the touch-sensitive display of device 100 at a location corresponding to the other set of lines of text). Rather than begin scrolling the other set of lines of text based on the change in speed and/or current crown 108 position, the device 100 can stop the scrolling or scaling function in progress, and /or input from crown 108 may be ignored for a threshold amount of time. However, the threshold time length may be used for changes in other types of context (e.g., a new application being opened, an item not currently displayed by device 100 being selected, or the like). may be shorter than the threshold time length. Although a particular type of context change is provided above, it should be understood that any type of context change may be selected.

In some examples, device 100 may include a mechanism for detecting physical contact with crown 108. For example, the device 100 may include a capacitive sensor configured to detect a change in capacitance caused by contact with the crown 108; a resistor configured to detect a change in resistance caused by contact with the crown 108; a pressure sensor configured to detect a 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 include things like 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 (e.g., processes 300, 900, 1500, 2100, or 4100) Or non-existence can be used. For example, in some examples, device 100 may be configured to perform scrolling or scaling functions as described above with respect to process 300, 900, 1500, 2100, or 4100. In response to detecting an abrupt cessation 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 detected, the device 100 may cause the device 100 to detect the scroll being performed. Or scaling can be stopped. This event may represent a situation in which the user rotates the crown 108 rapidly but intentionally stops it, indicating a desire to cease scrolling or scaling. However, in response to detecting a sudden stop in the rotation of the crown 108 (e.g., a stop, or a decrease in rotational speed above a threshold) while no contact with the crown 108 is detected, the device 100 may You can continue scrolling or scaling. This event occurs when the user rapidly rotates the crown 108 by performing a flick forward or backward gesture, removes his or her finger from the crown 108, and uses the flick gesture again to further wind the crown 108. It can represent a situation where the wrist is rotated in the opposite direction. In this situation, the user likely did not intend for the scrolling or scaling to stop.

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