Patent Images
1. A watch comprising:
- a watch enclosure;
a touch-sensitive display positioned at least partially within the watch enclosure and configured to receive a touch input and display a graphical output;
a rotational sensor positioned within the watch enclosure and configured to detect a rotational input; and
a translational sensor positioned within the watch enclosure and configured to detect a translational input;
wherein the touch-sensitive display is configured to modify the graphical output in response to;
the rotational input detected by the rotational sensor;
the translational input detected by the translational sensor; and
the touch input detected by the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract
An electronic watch may include a tactile switch and/or one or more sensors for detecting rotational and translational inputs. The watch may include a display configured to produce graphical outputs that may change in response to rotational inputs, translational inputs, and/or touch inputs received at the display. The watch include a crown positioned along an exterior of the watch enclosure and a shaft coupled to the crown and extending into the enclosure. The tactile switch and/or the one or more sensors may be used to detect rotational and/or translational inputs provided at the crown.

15. A watch comprising:
-
an enclosure; a touch-sensitive display carried by the enclosure and configured to detect touch input and display graphical objects; a rotational sensor carried by the enclosure and configured to detect rotational input; a translational sensor carried by the enclosure and configured to detect translational input; and a processor operably coupled to the touch-sensitive display, the rotational sensor, and the translational sensor, the processor configured to; in response to the touch input, cause the graphical objects to move across the touch-sensitive display; in response to the rotational input, cause the graphical objects to move across the touch-sensitive display; and in response to the translational input, cause a display of different graphical objects on the touch-sensitive display. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
