ROTARY INPUT MECHANISM FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
One embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device includes an enclosure having a sidewall with a button aperture defined therethrough, a display connected to the enclosure, and a processing element in communication with the display. The device also includes a sensing element in communication with the processing element and an input button at least partially received within the button aperture and in communication with the sensing element, the input button configured to receive two types of user inputs. During operation, the sensing element tracks movement of the input button to determine the two types of user inputs.

CONTROL DEVICE FOR A TIMEPIECE
A control device (1) for a timepiece has: - a body (4) intended to be mounted to be able to rotate about an axis of rotation (X) in a case middle (2) of a timepiece in order to drive a mechanism of the timepiece, and: - a crown head (5) movable in translation with respect to the body, parallel to the axis of rotation, between a first position and a second position. The body has a first coupling means (46) and the crown head has a second coupling means (53), arranged so that when the crown head is in its first position, the body and the crown head are uncoupled, and when the crown head is in its second position, the body and the crown head are coupled, the control device further comprising a locking element (6), a first formation (47A) and a second formation (47B), the locking element being able to cooperate with the first formation to stabilize the crown head in its first position, and with the second formation to stabilize the crown head in its second position, the locking element being integral with or fixed to the crown head and the first and second formations being integral with or fixed to the body, or the locking element being integral with or fixed to the body and the first and second formations being integral with or fixed to the crown head.
CORRECTOR BUTTON AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING SUCH A CORRECTOR BUTTON ONTO A WATCH CASE
A corrector button for a watch case including a socket of axis of revolution having a threading arranged on the outer rim of a portion intended to be fitted by screwing onto a watch case, and having a cavity extending between a first end of the socket and a second end of the socket; a movable control rod engaged in the cavity of the socket and movable in translation along the axis of revolution, the movable control rod including a push-rod, having a rotation organ, and a push-button rigidly connected to the push-rod. The cavity has a portion of polygonal cross-section, and wherein the push-rod of the movable control rod includes a portion having a complementary polygonal cross-section in respect of the portion of polygonal cross-section of the cavity, such that the rotation of the push-rod via the rotation organ drives the rotation of the socket.
TIMEPIECE CASE COMPRISING A CORRECTION MEMBER
A timepiece case including a middle (20) receiving a horological movement (1) having at least one function corrector (10, 12) for carrying out various functions of activating, selecting, resetting and/or correcting a piece of information derived from the current time of the horological movement (1). The middle has a correction member (100), and a control stem (120) moving in translation within the cylindrical body of the correction member. The correction member (100) is mounted such that it slides in the middle (20) between a plurality of stable positions, each of the stable positions modifying the position of the end (122) of the control stem (120) facing the horological movement (1).
Tool for actuating a corrector fitted in a small portable object such as a timepiece
A tool for actuating a corrector push-button fitted in a small portable object, wherein this actuation tool includes a body which extends between a rear end which defines a gripping zone of the actuation tool and a front end which defines an actuation zone of the actuation tool, at least the front end of the actuation tool being magnetised.
Push In Watch Crown Mechanism
A push in watch crown mechanism which allows a watch crown to be positioned inside the watch case while allowing the function of being released outside of the watch case to adjust the time of the watch. The watch crown mechanism is comprised of the watch crown, a spring used to release said watch crown out of the watch case, a release mechanism and a locking mechanism. The purpose of this push in watch crown mechanism is to allow the watch crown to sit completely flush inside the watch case, eliminating the watch crown from digging into the user's wrist while wearing the watch. This push in watch crown mechanism solves the common problem of the standard protruding watch crown causing discomfort and irritation to the user's wrist, and creates a more unique and comfortable watch to wear on the wrist.
Watch
A watch including: a case including a through hole formed in a side surface of the case; a cylindrical member which is an integral body formed of a first cylindrical portion being threadedly engageable with the through hole and a second cylindrical portion in contact with the side surface of the case and having a recessed housing portion which opens to the outside of the case, and has an insertion hole continuously formed with the recessed housing portion; an operating member which has a shaft portion being inserted into the insertion hole of the cylindrical member in a slidable manner, and a head portion being formed on an end portion of the shaft portion and housed in the recessed housing portion; and a sealing member which is disposed between the case and the second cylindrical portion.
Control crown for a timepiece
A control crown for a timepiece, capable of cooperating, in order to maneuver a control rod, with a middle including a recess along an axis receiving a tube included in the crown, which includes a crown body capable of rotating covering both the rod and the tube, which includes a hollow to allow the rod to pass and/or be guided in rotation, the crown includes a closing cap fastened to the tube in a fixed angular position relative to the middle by the cooperation between indexing device of the tube and complementary indexing device of the closing cap, to axially enclose the crown body between the middle and the closing cap.
WATCH TYPE MOBILE TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
A watch-type mobile terminal including a display; a bezel forming a rim of the display and including a touch sensor; a crown; and a controller configured to display first content on the display, sense a rotation input on at least one of the crown and the bezel when the first content is displayed on the display, and display second content associated with the first content on the display in response to the rotation input.
