SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SMART WATCH NAVIGATION
First Claim
1. A method for smartwatch control, comprising:
- displaying a graphical representation of content within an active content stream on a display of a face of the smartwatch, the face comprising a radially symmetric profile and further comprising a touchscreen corresponding to and concentric with the display, wherein the display is smaller than the touchscreen, and wherein the touchscreen comprises a virtual threshold substantially tracing a perimeter of a visible portion of the display;
receiving a gesture at the touchscreen;
in response to the gesture originating radially outward of the virtual threshold and directed in a radially inward direction, setting a second content stream as the active content stream, wherein the second content stream is virtually positioned along a virtual axis in a first direction opposing the gesture direction relative to the first content stream;
in response to the gesture originating radially inward of the virtual threshold and directed in a radially outward direction, performing an action on the content of the active content stream based on a velocity of the gesture, comprising;
in response to the velocity falling below a velocity threshold;
displaying a list of actions associated with the active content stream on the display;
receiving a user selection of an action from the list of actions;
performing the selected action on the content;
storing the action in association with the active content stream; and
in response to the velocity exceeding the velocity threshold, performing the stored action on the content.

Abstract
A method for smartwatch control, including: displaying content from a first content stream at face of the smartwatch, the face including a touchscreen coaxially arranged with a display; tracking a user gesture at the touchscreen; in response to user gesture categorization as a radially inward gesture, setting a second content stream as active, wherein the second content stream is different from the first content stream; and in response to user gesture categorization as a radially outward gesture, determining a direction of the user gesture, in response to the direction being a first direction, performing a positive action on the displayed content and in response to the direction being a second direction opposing the first, performing a negative action on the displayed content.
