Abstract:
1. A user input system, comprising: a wristband structure sized for at least partly encircling a central wrist axis of a wearer's wrist and having an outer surface; a curved touch surface operative to detect at least one finger swipe of a fingertip which slides contiguously against said outer surface; a touch controller adapted to analyze said at least one finger swipe to identify a data query; and a wireless communication unit adapted to wirelessly transmit said data query to a computing device which is external to said user input system and to receive a response to said data query from said computing device, wherein said at least one finger swipe is held around said central wrist axis and along a curve of a curved portion of said curved touch surface; wherein said system further comprising a plurality of different vibrating elements located to provide a plurality of different haptic feedbacks on said wearer's wrist and a controller which is adapted to select one of said plurality of different vibrating elements according to said response and operate at least two of said plurality of vibrating elements which is located in said curved portion to provide at least one of said plurality of different haptic feedbacks in response to said reception of said response; wherein said controller is adapted to operate said at least two of said plurality of vibrating elements to vibrate simultaneously with different intensities or different frequencies.
