Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for receiving, displaying and adjusting user input through a wearable device. An indicated value and an annulus are displayed on a touch-sensitive display of the wearable device. The annulus has a base segment and a highlighted segment. The highlighted segment begins at an origin of the annulus and extends to a first position of the annulus. The size of the highlighted segment corresponds to the indicated value. A first value-adjusting input is received at the touch-sensitive display. The first value-adjusting input includes one or both of a drag operation and a tap operation. The indicated value and the size of the highlighted segment are adjusted in accordance with the first value-adjusting input, such that the proportion of the annulus represented by the highlighted segment corresponds to a proportion of a difference between a base amount and a maximum amount represented by the indicated value.
