Abstract

A device and method in accordance with the present disclosure provide an input to an electronic device via a gesture performed by a user. A distortion of the user's skin surface due to a gesture performed on the user's skin surface is detected, and a characteristic of the detected distortion is determined. Based on the determined characteristic, the gesture performed on the user's skin surface is determined.

Description

technical field [0001] The technology of the present disclosure relates generally to electronic devices, and more specifically to an apparatus, system, and method for detecting gestures on the skin. Background technique [0002] Mobile electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, etc. have become more widespread as computer processors have decreased in size and cost. Designed to be portable, many mobile electronic devices are lightweight and small enough to be worn or carried in a pocket or handbag. However, the portability of modern mobile electronic devices comes at a price: today's mobile electronic devices often incorporate small input devices to reduce the size and weight of the device. For example, many current mobile electronic devices include soft QWERTY keyboards displayed on touch screens, which many people (especially those with poor dexterity) find difficult to use. [0003] Gesture-based input devices provide an alternative to traditional input ...
