Embodiment Construction

[0025] drawings, and especially figure 2 A system is schematically shown in which a device 201 is connected to a device 203 via a flexible cable 202 . The cable includes a sensor 205 that generates a signal related to the detection of a touch on the cable. Touch can be detected along the length of the cable. This signal is received by the device. Determine the location of the touch along the length of the cable. The device is then controlled based on the detected touch and the determined location of the touch.

[0026] Additionally, sensors may be provided for detecting other user interactions with the cable, such as bending, stretching or shrinking of the cable. Furthermore, the magnitude, direction, timing and location of such user interactions can be determined. Based on these values, manipulation of the cable (for example: looping of a particular length of cable, flicking of an end of the cable or plucking of the opposite end of the cable) can be determined and the d...

Abstract

A method, apparatus, computer program, cable and system are provided for: receiving a signal relating to a detection of a touch on a cable; determining a location on the cable of the touch; and controlling an apparatus, which is in communication with the cable, based on the detected touch and the determined location of the touch.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention relate to methods, devices, computer programs, cables and systems. In particular, although without prejudice to the foregoing, embodiments relate to methods, devices, computer programs, cables and systems for remotely controlling a device via user interaction with a cable that communicates with the device. Background technique [0002] Headphones or headsets for electronic devices such as media players, mobile phones and tablets have been provided with units that include one or more keys / switches to enable remote control of the electronic device, such as: play / pause, add / Decrease volume or skip songs. However, the unit and its keys have a small form factor which can make it difficult to locate and operate the keys and perform the desired control operations. [0003] The listing or discussion of a prior-published document or any background in this specification should not necessarily be construed as an admission that the...
