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 angle between at least two segments of the wearable accessory and cause one or more of the segments to operate in a manner that is at least partially dependent upon the angle between the at least two segments. In some cases, a determination may be made as to whether the wearable accessory is in a worn state or in an unworn state. For example, in the worn state, the segments may have separate functionality, whereas in the unworn state the segments may act as a single display or present an idle screen.

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 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.
