CTOnews.com, November 7 (Xinhua)-- Google is expected to bring interactive functionality to the watch case in the future Pixel Watch 3, according to a new patent.

The rotating bezel used by Samsung in the Galaxy Watch series and the digital crown used by Apple in the Apple Watch can give users some positive feedback, but there are also some disadvantages, such as higher manufacturing costs and making devices more difficult to waterproof.

The strain sensor system currently proposed by Google in the patent is expected to bring more possibilities for watch interaction, and the relevant sensors will be embedded in the watch shell, which will make the watch more waterproof and more durable. Users can interact by pressing, tapping, squeezing and sliding the watch case.

CTOnews.com found that the Google patent is similar to the "Edge Sense" feature launched by HTC in the early years, which allows users to quickly start the camera and take screenshots by pressing the middle frame of the phone.
