Abstract:
Various embodiments for detecting and rejecting false, unintended rotations of rotary inputs of electronic devices are disclosed herein. In one example, an electronic device is provided with an optical detector that measures the distance between the electronic device and the wearer's forearm or hand, and when the distance is smaller than a threshold distance, the turns of the rotary input are false, unintended turns. In another example, a crown of a rotary input includes a plurality of capacitive sensors that detects the presence of a wearer's finger, which when absent, the turns of the rotary input are false turns. In another example, deflections or positions of a shaft of the rotary input are measured and if the deflections/positions indicate an upward force on the rotary input (which are likely caused by the wearer's forearm or hand), the turns of the rotary input are false turns. Other embodiments are described herein.

Claim (Index 33):
An electronic device comprising:\n a housing; a touch screen coupled to the housing; a rotatable input member coupled to the housing and comprising a shaft connected to a crown; and a sensor configured to detect a rotation of the rotatable input member; wherein the electronic device is configured to, while the touch screen is not displaying graphical content:\n determine a characteristic of the rotation of the rotatable input member; and \n in response to the characteristic of the rotation of the rotatable input member not satisfying a condition, continue to not display graphical content on the touch screen.
