Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for controlling functions associated with a touch-sensitive device () capable of being worn by a user. The touch-sensitive device () includes a substrate () with an outside surface () and an inside surface () opposite from the outside surface (). A first contact sensing component () generates a first signal upon detection of a first contact with the outside surface (), and a second contact sensing component () generates a second signal upon detection of a second contact with the inside surface (). A processor () may be configured to interface with the first contact sensing component () and the second contact sensing component () and perform operations including: analyzing the first signal and the second signal to determine that a predetermined condition is satisfied, and in response to the analyzing, initiating a function associated with the predetermined condition.
