A mobile phone, a method for operating a mobile phone, and a recording medium are disclosed. In one embodiment, a mobile phone comprises a wireless communicator, a proximity detector, and at least one processor. The wireless communicator is configured to receive information from an input apparatus external to the mobile phone. The proximity detector is configured to detect an object in proximity. The at least one processor is configured to perform a voice call with a first phone apparatus external to the mobile phone and activate an input from the input apparatus when the proximity detector detects the object in proximity and the at least one processor performs the voice call.

A device for aiding in the activation of a touchscreen includes an attachment portion and a conductive nipple coupled to and extending through the attachment portion. The attachment portion can include a plurality of non-conductive layers that are configured to attach to the fingertip of a user. The attachment portion can be generally flexible and include an adhesive layer for attaching the device to the tip of a user's finger. The attachment portion can also be in the form of a flexible sleeve that will extend over the user's finger. The sleeve can include a hole in the tip for allowing a user's fingernail to extend therethrough. The conductive nipple will transfer the conductive energy of the user's skin therethrough, allowing a focused point of activation on the touchscreen. The attachment portion can also include a fingerprint reader, microprocessor, and storage medium embedded therein.

The present invention discloses a glove that allows operating an electronic device having a touch interface while wearing the glove. The glove comprises a glove body and digits coupled to the glove body. At least one of the digits comprises a removably coupled sleeve or cap adapted to cover the tip of thumb and/or finger. Removing of the sleeve exposes the thumb or fingertip for operating the touch interface of electronic device. The invention is advantageous allowing use of naked finger and/or thumb tips while wearing the glove for interacting with touch interface or registering thumb or fingerprints for biometric identification.

A gesture recognition device (100) for recognising gestures made by a user is disclosed. The device comprises a gesture detector for detecting a gesture made be a user and a gesture analysis block, the gesture analysis block comprising a memory configured to store known gestures, and a pattern recognition block configured to associate a gesture detected by the gesture detector with a known gesture stored in the memory. The device (100) further comprises a magnetic field generator for interacting with a wearable tag (200), the magnetic field generator configured to provide a magnetic force (202) on the wearable tag (200) when a particular gesture is recognised by the gesture analysis block.

A wireless control device adapted to detect a signal from a signal source for generating a corresponding first sensing signal and wirelessly transmit the first sensing signal to a host is provided. The wireless control device includes a position calibrator and an accessory. The position calibrator includes a first main body, a first coupling structure disposed on the first main body, at least one position sensing element adapted to detect the signal, a first microprocessor electrically connected to the position sensing element and a wireless transmitting module electrically connected to the first microprocessor and wirelessly transmitting the first sensing signal to the host. The accessory includes a second main body and a second coupling structure disposed on the second main body. A position calibrator and an accessory detachably assembled with the position calibrator to form a wireless control device are also provided.

A method for providing a voice recognition trigger and a system therefor, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium are provided. The method for providing the voice recognition trigger includes: calculating a distance change between a device and an object on the basis of proximity information detected by the device; and determining whether or not the voice recognition trigger of the device is provided with reference to the distance change between the device and the object.

A wearable device is provided. The wearable device includes a ring-shaped body having a hole, an image display unit surrounding an outer circumferential surface of the ring-shaped body, a first ring-shaped bezel and a second ring-shaped bezel respectively provided on a first side surface and a second side surface of the image display unit to be independently rotatable about the hole, a sensor configured to measure a motion, a processor configured to control a first region of the image display unit to have a touch sensing function, and control a second region that is different from the first region not to have the touch sensing function, and a transceiver unit configured to transmit, to an external electronic device, a control signal generated by the processor according to an input signal by a touch on the image display unit or an input signal by rotation of at least one of the first ring-shaped bezel or the second ring-shaped bezel.

Aspects of the present invention relate to user interface control of a head-worn computer.

A device having a ring-shaped housing configured to be wrapped around a finger of a user, the ring-shaped housing having a base portion and a clip portion, the clip portion connected to the base portion via a hinge, wherein the clip portion is configured to attach to a phalange of a user's hand; and a sensor physically attached to the base portion, the sensor including at least one electrical component.

A computer input device system that includes a finger-wearable input unit that is capable of providing inputs in a two-dimensional plane or in three-dimensional space, and that is capable of transitioning between registering inputs along a two-dimensional plane or in a three-dimensional space. The finger-wearable unit can be made up of separable modules and links that allow for reconfiguration of the finger-wearable unit according to a user's needs.
