Electronic device with graphical user interface

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 the context of a method, an orientation of each of a plurality of segments of a multi-segment wearable accessory is determined relative to an axis through the multi-segment wearable accessory, such as by determining an angle of each of the plurality of segments relative to the axis through the multi-segment wearable accessory. A relative ordering of the plurality of segments of the multi-segment wearable accessory may then be determined based upon the orientation of each of the plurality of segments relative to the axis.

A computing system comprising a pocket personal computer and a reader are disclosed. The pocket PC is pocket-sized and comprises flash memory, and optionally a processor and a GPS chip. The reader includes a monitor, a keyboard with docking port and an optional processor and at least one input/output USB connector. A user cannot interact with the pocket PC without the reader. The reader is a non-functioning “shell” without the pocket PC, however, when they are connected the system becomes a fully functional personal computer. To log on, a user provides security information, for example, a password or biometrics, such as fingerprints. The credit card size and capabilities of the pocket PC allows a user to easily carry virtually their entire computer in a pocket for use anywhere there is a reader. In addition, the pocket PC provides security against unauthorized use, even if lost or stolen. A password or fingerprints are required to access to the device, the circuit board may be coated with a protective coating and the system may include an RFID tag and RFID reader.

Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for operating a touch-sensitive device using additional inputs. A system can be configured to detect a touch interaction at a location on a touch-sensitive device associated with a display, receive additional sensor input for the touch-sensitive device, the additional sensor input corresponding to the touch interaction, determine vision characteristics of a user of the touch-sensitive device based on the additional sensor input, and process the touch interaction based on location of the touch interaction and the vision characteristics of the user.

Touch screen operation using additional inputs

A portable electronic device comprises a body, a cover, an input interface, a display, an image capture device and a fixing arm. The cover is rotatably connected to the body. The input interface is disposed on the body. The display is disposed on the cover. The image capture device is disposed on the cover. When an image medium is fixed on the fixing arm, the image capture device captures image data from the image medium.
