APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USER INPUT
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving first sensor information of a device configured to be worn by a user;
determining a first touch input indicated by the received first sensor information wherein the first touch input relates to a first touch type;
determining a first function based at least in part on the first touch input;
causing the first function to be performed;
receiving second sensor information of the device;
determining a second touch input indicated by the received second sensor information wherein the second touch input relates to a second touch type that is different than the first touch type;
determining a second function based at least in part on the second touch input, wherein the second function is different from the first function; and
causing the second function to be performed.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer program product for providing input to a user device by way of a device that is worn by a user. The method including receiving sensor information of a device configured to be worn by a user, determining a first touch input indicated by the received first sensor information, where the first touch input relates to a first touch type, determining a first function based at least in part on the first touch input, causing the first function to be performed, receiving second sensor information of the device configured to be worn by a user, determining a second touch input indicated by the received second sensor information, where the second touch input relates to a second touch type that is different than the first touch type, determining a second function based at least in part on the second touch input, where the second function is different from the first function, and causing the second function to be performed.
