Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the use of a multi-segment wearable accessory. In this regard, methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for controlling and, in some instances, interacting with a multi-segment wearable accessory. In particular, a method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided that determine an orientation of a plurality of segments of a multi-segment wearable accessory, identify one of the segments to be associated with a peripheral device at least partially based upon the orientations determined, and provide for an association of the segment identified with the peripheral device. In this way, a particular segment may be selected to present content relating to the peripheral device or vice versa, for example, based on the orientation of the segment with respect to the peripheral device and / or the other segments.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 624,039 entitled “Multi-Segment Wearable Accessory,” filed Apr. 13, 2012, the contents of which are incorporated herein in their entirety.TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD[0002]An example embodiment of the present invention relates generally to a multi-segment wearable accessory and, more particularly, to methods, apparatus and computer program products for controlling and, in some embodiments, interacting with a multi-segment wearable accessory.BACKGROUND[0003]Mobile terminals, such as mobile telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), gaming devices, music players or the like, are widely utilized in order to provide many different functions.
