Abstract: A method of detecting a user input includes sensing one or more touch events at a device. In some embodiments, a method includes sensing a first touch event via a first housing of a device. The method also includes generating a first detection signal based on the first touch event. The method also includes sensing a second touch event via a second housing of the device, the second housing conductively isolated from the first housing. The method also includes generating a second detection signal based on the second touch event. The method also includes classifying, based on the first detection signal and the second detection signal, the first touch event as user input. The method also includes identifying one or more actions based on the classification of the first touch event as the user input, the one or more actions associated with the user input.

Abstract: A device includes a housing constructed from a conductive material, a first circuit coupleable to the housing and a second circuit coupleable to the housing. The housing is operable in a first configuration and a second configuration. The first and second configurations are associated with use of the housing for conduction. A control circuit is disposed between the first circuit and the second circuit. The control circuit is configured to operate the housing in the first configuration by conductively coupling the first circuit to the housing and by conductively isolating the second circuit from the housing. The control circuit is also configured to operate the housing in the second configuration by conductively coupling the second circuit to the housing and by conductively isolating the first circuit from the housing.

Abstract: A method for displaying representations of facial expressions on devices includes receiving, by a processor on a device, data from a sensor coupled to the device. The method includes identifying, by the processor, responsive to the received data, a level of progress that a user of the device made towards a goal. The method includes selecting, by the processor, responsive to the identification, an icon representing a facial expression. The method includes modifying, by the processor, a level of power for each of a plurality of light indicators embedded in the device to display the icon.
