In a plan view in an axial direction of an indicating hand axle of a small second hand, three arrangement relationships described below are satisfied between a 10 o'clock side information display unit and an hour hand. According to a first arrangement relationship, respective numbers of a scale are disposed line-symmetrically with respect to a virtual straight line connecting a scale and the indicating hand axle to each other. According to a second arrangement relationship, the indicating hand axle is located at a position which does not overlap an indicating hand axle of the hour hand. According to a third arrangement relationship, a portion of a rotatable range of the hour hand overlaps a rotatable range of the small second hand, and does not overlap the scale.

The present disclosure generally relates to a dynamic user interface having an indication of time. The dynamic user interface having the indication of time further includes one or more geometric regions that intersect the indication of time, such that colors of the indication of time are different on opposite sides of a boundary of the one or more geometric regions that intersect the indication of time. The one or more geometric regions may shift and/or change over time, thereby providing a custom and/or unique dynamic user interface having the indication of time.

A digital display mechanism for the alphanumeric segment display of an integer magnitude whose instantaneous value is defined by an output of a timepiece movement, including a continuous display support guided along a particular trajectory by a guide device and driven in at least one direction of travel by a drive device, including at least a first display surface and a second display surface which are different from each other, each first surface or second surface forming only one part of an alphanumeric symbol, numeral or letter, and arranged to be visible to a user of the timepiece, each continuous display support being either a serrated belt driven by a serrated pinion complementary to the serration of the belt, or a chain driven by a pinion complementary to the articulation of the links of this chain.

A display device includes a substrate having a through-hole. The display device also includes a display unit formed on the substrate and surrounding the through-hole, and the display unit is configured to display an image and includes pixels.

A method for providing illumination to a timepiece includes providing an array of LEDs arranged around a periphery of a substantially planar surface such that each LED in the array of LEDs emits light toward a center of the periphery. The substantially planar surface overlays a timepiece movement having a watch hand pinion that extends through a hole in the substantially planar surface. The substantially planar surface is bounded by a casing of the timepiece. The method also includes situating each of the LEDs in a diffuser layer extending across the substantially planar surface to scatter light emitted by each LED. The method also includes applying power to the array of LEDs such that each LED is driven at a current lower than a specified current for normal operation of the LED.

A display system includes a watch having a watch face; and an intelligent display system. The display system includes a display panel, a selectively opaque panel, a memory having programming instructions, and a controller in communication with the display panel and the selectively opaque panel, and the memory. The display system is operable in each of: (a) display mode wherein the display panel is actuated by the controller to display image content, and at least a portion of the selectively opaque panel is opaque; (b) a transparent mode wherein the display panel does not display image content, the selectively opaque panel is substantially transparent, and the watch face is substantially visible; and (c) an augmented reality mode wherein the display panel is actuated by the controller to display image content, and the selectively opaque panel is substantially transparent, the watch face being substantially visible behind the display system.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a highly reliable display device. In particular, a display device to which a signal or a power supply potential can be supplied stably is provided. Further, a bendable display device to which a signal or a power supply potential can be supplied stably is provided. The display device includes, over a flexible substrate, a display portion, a plurality of connection terminals to which a signal from an outside can be input, and a plurality of wirings. One of the plurality of wirings electrically connects one of the plurality of connection terminals to the display portion. The one of the plurality of wirings includes a first portion including a plurality of separate lines and a second portion in which the plurality of lines converge.

An electronic watch includes a first hand that is rotated by a first motor, and indicates a higher digit of numerical information or time information, a second hand that is rotated by a second motor, and indicates a lower digit of the numerical information or the time information, and a motor controller. The motor controller performes a numerical value indication mode for driving the first motor and the second motor simultaneously to indicate an increase or decrease in the numerical information, or time correction mode for driving the first motor and the second motor simultaneously to correct the time information, and in the numerical value indication mode or the time correction mode, controls a drive frequency of the first motor and a drive frequency of the second motor such that angular velocity of hand movement of the first hand is less than angular velocity of hand movement of the second hand.

There is provided an information processing apparatus, control method, and program that allow for recognition of a state of an arm on the basis of determination of whether the information processing apparatus is worn on the left arm or the right arm, the information processing apparatus including: a determination unit configured to determine whether the information processing apparatus is worn on a user's right arm or left arm; a recognition unit configured to recognize a state of the arm; and a control unit configured to perform predetermined control on a device included in the information processing apparatus according to the recognized state of the arm. The recognition unit switches settings of a parameter which is used in the recognition of the state of the arm, according to a result of the determination by the determination unit.

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for enabling devices to determine the time zone in which they are located. A mobile device may receive location information from one or more sources. Based thereon, the current location of the mobile device may be determined in terms of latitude and longitude. The indication of the current location may be converted to an index value according to a Hilbert curve (or other space-filling curve), and the index value applied to a time zone index file to determine the local time zone. A time zone setting of the mobile device may be updated accordingly. Furthermore, “geofencing” may be used by the mobile device to detect movement towards and through a time zone boundary, leading to a new time zone determination being initiated.
