Abstract

The invention relates to an electronic device (200), in particular a smartwatch (200), comprising a processor (201) configured to implement a user interface for allowing a user to interact with the electronic device (200), a display and a touch panel (206) in communication with the processor (201), wherein the display and the touch panel (206) provide a touch-sensitive display configured to allow a user to interact with the electronic device (200) on the basis of the user interface by touching the touch panel (206), and a bezel (207) rotatably mounted on a housing of the electronic device (200), wherein the bezel (207) comprises a pointing element (209a) configured to activate the touch panel (206) at a plurality of different locations of the touch panel (206) and wherein the plurality of different locations of the touch panel (206) define a plurality of different positions of the bezel (207) relative to the housing allowing the user to interact with the electronic device (200) by using the bezel (207). Moreover, the invention relates to a method of operating such an electronic device (200).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electronic device and a method of operating the same. More precisely, the invention relates to a smart watch and a method of operating the smart watch. Background technique [0002] As smartwatches have become more popular, a large number of different smartwatch models have been developed over the past few years. While a large number of early smartwatch models were capable of performing basic tasks other than timekeeping, such as calculating, translating, and playing simple games, modern smartwatches are effectively wearable computers that can run mobile applications and functions such as portable media players. Some modern smartwatch models even have full mobile phone functionality, ie, the ability to make or receive calls. In order to allow users to use the rich functions of modern smart watches, modern smart watches often have complex user interfaces. The user interface of a modern smart watch is usually based ...
