The sensing component may be conductively coupled to the actuation member via a conductive path at least partially defined by the crown shaft.

An electronic timepiece improves operability when manually adjusting the time. The electronic timepiece includes: a time display configured to indicate the time; a rotatable crown that can be pulled out to multiple stop positions, including a first position and a second position; a stop position detector configured to detect the stop position of the crown; an operation detector configured to detect an operation rotating the crown; and a time setter configured to change the time displayed by the time display according to an adjustment amount that differs according to the stop position at each detected operation when the stop position is the first position or the second position and the operating detector detects the operation.

A switch module for an electronic device detects translational inputs and defines at least portion of a conductive path from an input surface of the electronic device to a processing unit of the electronic device. The switch module may be a component of a crown assembly for detecting rotational inputs, translational inputs, touch inputs and/or biological signals such as electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The switch module may include a conductive dome and a friction guard that is positioned between the conductive dome and the actuation member of the crown assembly. The conductive dome and/or the friction guard may define at least a portion of the conductive path from the input surface to the processing unit.

The position detection member includes a first component and a second component, one of the first component and the second component is arranged on the dial, the other of the first component and the second component is arranged on the watch body. The first component includes a first subcomponent and a second subcomponent, and the first subcomponent and the second subcomponent are spaced from each other in a rotation direction of the watch body. The position detection member has a first state and a second state, when the position detection member is in the first state, the first subcomponent is opposite to the second component, and when the position detection member is in the second state, the second subcomponent is opposite to the second component.

A wearable device includes a dial plate, a watch body and an angle detection member. The dial plate is provided with an accommodating groove. The watch body is at least partially disposed in the accommodating groove and is rotatably connected to the dial plate, and the watch body is provided with a functional component. The angle detection member includes an annular resistor and a conductive connector electrically connected to the annular resistor.

The annular resistor is in sliding connection with the conductive connector.

A rotation detecting apparatus includes a rotating member, detectors regarding a rotating direction of the rotating member, and a predetermined unit. Each detector detects whether a predetermined standard direction is included in detecting ranges different for each rotating member and outputs a result. The predetermined unit combines the detection result output from each detector and extracts an angle range. The predetermined unit specifies the rotating direction of the rotating member based on changes in the angle ranges extracted a plurality of times occurring in the plurality of times. The detecting range corresponding to each of the plurality of detectors is determined to be able to identify relative positions before and after a change from the angle range extracted by the predetermined unit to the angle range that is clockwise or counterclockwise apart a predetermined number or less to the angle range extracted, the predetermined number being two or more.

Provided are a display method and apparatus, a smart wearable device, and a computer-readable storage medium, the display method being used on the smart wearable device, and the smart wearable device including at least two screen display regions and at least two corresponding audio collection units; when a user is wearing the smart wearable device, the screen display regions are not simultaneously in the same plane. The display method includes according to voice signals collected by all of the audio collection units, determining an audio collection unit nearest a sound source; turning on a screen display region corresponding to the audio collection unit nearest the sound source to display current content.

Systems and methods for performing damping analyses on a device are disclosed. The damping analyses may be used by a device in numerous ways. For example, in some embodiments, damping analyses are used to determine whether a device is being worn or held by a user. In some embodiments, damping analyses are used to determine which user of multiple users is wearing a device. In some embodiments, damping analyses are used to determine the body composition of a user who is holding or wearing the device. In some embodiments, damping analyses are used to determine how much force a user is applying to a device via a touch input. In some embodiments, damping analyses are used to determine whether and to what extent a sensor is in contact with a body of a user.

The present disclosure generally relates to interacting with an electronic device without touching a display screen or other physical input mechanisms. In some examples, the electronic device performs an operation in response to a positioning of a user's hand and/or an orientation of the electronic device.
