Abstract
Wearable electronic devices having rotatable input manipulable are described herein. The wearable electronic devices include a body defining an aperture that is sized and shaped to receive a finger of a user. The wearable electronic devices also include a processor housed by the body, a first input structure rotatably coupled to the body and controllably rotatable about the body by a second finger of the user and manipulable thereby, a detector system carried by the body and communicatively coupled to the processor to detect rotations of the first input structure about the body, a transmitter communicatively coupled to the processor to transmit signals to an external electronic device in response to rotations of the first input structure about the body, and, optionally, a power source communicatively coupled to the processor, the detector system, and the transmitter to provide power to at least the processor, the detector system, and the transmitter.
