Flexible electronic display with user interface based on sensed movements
First Claim
1. An attachable article, comprising:
- a display coupled to a flexible support;
a display driver electronically connected to the display and configured to provide image content to the display;
one or more force sensors coupled to the flexible support, the one or more force sensors including a first force sensor and a second force sensor; and
an electronic control module including;
a processor communicatively coupled to the display driver and communicatively coupled to the one or more force sensors; and
a memory storing a routine that, when executed by the processor, operates to change a presentation of the image content on the display based on a difference between a first signal and a second signal, wherein the first signal is generated by the first force sensor and corresponds to a force detected by the first force sensor, and the second signal is generated by the second force sensor and corresponds to a force detected by the second force sensor, the force detected by the second force sensor including at least one of the force detected by the first force sensor or another force.

Abstract
An attachable article, e.g., a wristband or armband, includes a dynamically flexible electronic display disposed on a flexible substrate that is bendable or conformable to a user'"'"'s wrist or other curved surface, and that enables images to be displayed in a manner that makes these images easily viewable to the user. The flexible substrate is supported to limit the bending motion of the flexible electronic display within the display'"'"'s tolerance limits. Additionally, the flexible substrate may be incorporated into a flexible support having any of various clasping mechanisms and sensors capable of detecting movement, orientation, forces, acceleration, and other user movements so that user manipulation of the article causes a change in the presentation of content on the flexible display and/or may serve as a user input to cause the attachable article to perform one or more actions.
