Wearable electronic device
In one embodiment, a device includes a device body that includes a touch-sensitive display and a processor. The device also includes a band coupled to the device body and an optical sensor in or on the band. The optical sensor faces outward from the band and captures images. The processor communicates with the optical sensor to process captured images.
1. A wearable device comprising:
a device body comprising:
a touch-sensitive display;
a circular mechanical ring rotatable around the touch-sensitive display; and
a detector configured to detect rotation of the rotatable circular mechanical ring, wherein an inner surface of the circular mechanical ring comprises an encoder associated with the detector;
a band coupled to the device body;
a first sensor in or on the rotatable circular mechanical ring, wherein the first sensor comprises an optical camera, wherein the touch-sensitive display is configured to display images captured by the optical camera; and
a second sensor in or on a base of the device body, wherein the second sensor comprises a biometric sensor configured to contact skin of a user wearing the wearable device.
2. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the first sensor or the second sensor is communicably coupled to a processor in the wearable device.
3. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor faces outward from the rotatable circular mechanical ring.
4. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor is configured to capture an image and transmit the image to a processor within the device body.
5. The wearable device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to transmit the image to the touch-sensitive display.
6. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the detector comprises the encoder.
7. The wearable device of claim 6 , wherein the encoder comprises:
an optical encoder; or
a mechanical encoder.
8. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein:
the touch-sensitive display is substantially circular.
9. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the first optical camera comprises a depth sensor.
10. The wearable device of claim 1 , further comprising a third sensor located in or on the device body.
11. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the band comprises one or more of:
a flexible strip;
a clip;
a necklace; or
a keychain.
