Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a force sensor used within an electronic device, such as a stylus, watch, laptop, or other electronic device. A force sensor may be positioned, for example, within a stylus body. The force sensor may include an input structure constrained within a housing by a compliant member. The input structure may extend at least partially out of the stylus body and be configured to receive a force input. One or more sensors of the force sensor may detect a value of a displacement of the input structure caused by the force input. A processing unit may determine a value of the force input using a spring characteristic of the compliant member and the detected value of displacement.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a wearable audio device, such as an earbud. The earbud may be configured to detect input using various sensors and structures. For example, the earbud may be configured to detect gestures, physical manipulations, and so forth performed along or on the earbud. In response to the detected inputs, the earbud may be configured to change various outputs, such as an audio output or a haptic output of the device. The earbud may also include a microphone to register voice commands. In some cases, the microphone may be used to control the earbud using the registered voice command in response to one or more detected gestures or physical manipulations.

Abstract: A user input system including a stylus and an electronic device. A user may manipulate the stylus across an input surface of the electronic device and the movement may be detected using axially-aligned electric fields generated by the stylus. The stylus may also include a force-sensitive structure that can be used to estimate a force applied to the electronic device by the stylus.
