IT Home reported on November 7th that a new patent shows that Google is expected to bring interactive features to watch cases in future PixelWatch 3.
The rotating bezel used by Samsung in the Galaxy Watch series and the digital crown used by Apple in the Apple Watch can provide users with some positive feedback, but there are also some drawbacks, such as higher manufacturing costs and making devices more difficult to waterproof.
The strain sensor system currently proposed by Google in its patent is expected to bring more possibilities for watch interaction. The relevant sensors will be embedded in the watch casing, making the watch easier to waterproof and more durable. Users can interact by pressing, tapping, squeezing, and sliding the watch casing.
It is reported that the patent application provides some examples of how to use strain gauge sensors to control a smartwatch. For example, users can press the side of the watch to play or pause music, click on the top of the watch to open a specific application, squeeze the side of the watch to zoom in on the screen content, or swipe the side of the watch to scroll through the list.
IT Home has found that the patent applied for by Google shares similarities and differences with the "EdgeSense" feature launched by HTC in the early years. This feature allows users to quickly activate cameras, take quick screenshots, and other functions by pressing on the middle frame of their phone.
