Multi-segment wearable accessory
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- determine that a touch input has been received via a first segment of a multi-segment wearable accessory, wherein the touch input received via the first segment designates content displayed at least partially by the first segment, wherein the content comprises a first portion of content and a second portion of content, wherein one of the first or second portions of content corresponds to a location at which the touch input associated with the first segment is received;
provide for a determination that a touch input associated with a second segment of the multi-segment wearable accessory is moving in a direction away from the touch input associated with the first segment; and
cause the presentation of a respective one of the first or second portions of the designated content that corresponds to the location at which the touch input associated with the first segment is received to be displayed over the first and second segments in an expand operation and cause the presentation of the other of the first or second portions of the designated content not corresponding to the location at which the touch input is received to be maintained as originally displayed based upon movement of the touch input associated with the second segment.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the use of a multi-segment wearable accessory. In this regard, methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for controlling and, in some instances, interacting with a multi-segment wearable accessory. In particular, a method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided that receive touch input via at least first and second segments of a multi-segment wearable accessory and determine that the touch input associated with the second segment is moving relative to the touch input associated with the first segment. A presentation of content displayed at least partially by the first segment may be modified based upon movement of the touch input associated with the second segment, such as in an expand operation, in which content is displayed on a second segment, or a collapse operation, in which content is removed from the second segment following an expand operation.

-
determine that a touch input has been received via a first segment of a multi-segment wearable accessory, wherein the touch input received via the first segment designates content displayed at least partially by the first segment, wherein the content comprises a first portion of content and a second portion of content, wherein one of the first or second portions of content corresponds to a location at which the touch input associated with the first segment is received; provide for a determination that a touch input associated with a second segment of the multi-segment wearable accessory is moving in a direction away from the touch input associated with the first segment; and cause the presentation of a respective one of the first or second portions of the designated content that corresponds to the location at which the touch input associated with the first segment is received to be displayed over the first and second segments in an expand operation and cause the presentation of the other of the first or second portions of the designated content not corresponding to the location at which the touch input is received to be maintained as originally displayed based upon movement of the touch input associated with the second segment. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5)

6. A method comprising:
-
determining that a touch input has been received via a first segment of a multi-segment wearable accessory, wherein the touch input received via the first segment designates content displayed at least partially by the first segment, wherein the content comprises a first portion of content and a second portion of content, wherein one of the first or second portions of content corresponds to a location at which the touch input associated with the first segment is received; providing for a determination, via a processor, that a touch input associated with a second segment of the multi-segment wearable accessory is moving in a direction away from the touch input associated with the first segment; and causing the presentation of a respective one of the first or second portions of the designated content that corresponds to the location at which the touch input associated with the first segment is received to be displayed over the first and second segments in an expand operation and cause the presentation of the other of the first or second portions of the designated content not corresponding to the location at which the touch input is received to be maintained as originally displayed based upon movement of the touch input associated with the second segment. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code portions stored therein, the computer-executable program code portions comprising program code instructions for:
-
determining that a touch input has been received via a first segment of a multi-segment wearable accessory, wherein the touch input received via the first segment designates content displayed at least partially by the first segment, wherein the content comprises a first portion of content and a second portion of content, wherein one of the first or second portions of content corresponds to a location at which the touch input associated with the first segment is received; providing for a determination that a touch input associated with a second segment of the multi-segment wearable accessory is moving in a direction away from the touch input associated with the first segment; and causing the presentation of a respective one of the first or second portions of the designated content that corresponds to the location at which the touch input associated with the first segment is received to be displayed over the first and second segments in an expand operation and cause the presentation of the other of the first or second portions of the designated content not corresponding to the location at which the touch input is received to be maintained as originally displayed based upon movement of the touch input associated with the second segment. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
