An input device includes a movable input surface protruding from an electronic device. The input device enables force inputs along three axes relative to the electronic device: first lateral movements, second lateral movements, and axial movements. The input device includes force or displacement sensors which can detect a direction and magnitude of input forces.

A device displays a clock face in response to receiving a request to display a clock face. In accordance with a determination that a respective graphical element is to be displayed at a respective location on the clock face, the clock face includes a plurality of analog-dial graphical elements corresponding to respective units of time, where the plurality of analog-dial graphical elements includes a first analog-dial graphical element that occupies a first position and has a first size. In accordance with a determination that the respective graphical element is not to be displayed at a respective location on the clock face, the clock face includes the plurality of analog-dial graphical elements corresponding to the respective units of time, and the first analog-dial graphical element of the plurality of analog-dial graphical elements occupies a second position and/or has a second size. In some embodiments, clock faces are reordered.

Systems and methods for modifying display unit operations based on orientation are provided. A controller receives orientation data from an orientation detection device and commands operations of a thermal management system based, at least in part, on the received orientation data. A solar angle relative to the electronic display may be determined based on a location, a date, a time, and the orientation data. Cooling may be modified based on solar angle relative to the electronic display. The orientation data may be used to check installation, determine damage, or position of display unit components.

Systems and methods to create a customized watch face and retrieve the watch face to be displayed are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may effectuate presentation of a selection interface; receive a mint request to mint the watch face in accordance with a watch face design; effectuate a transfer of consideration from a user wallet to an administrative wallet; mint the watch face; transfer a non-fungible token to the user wallet; receive a display request to display the watch face on a watch screen; determine whether the user wallet holds a non-fungible token associated with the watch face; responsive to the user wallet holding the non-fungible token, facilitate display of the watch face on the watch screen; responsive to the user wallet not holding the non-fungible token, take no action to facilitate display of the watch face on the watch screen; and/or perform other operations.

An apparatus, intended for use in indicating time interval durations of particular events in an augmented reality display, includes a computer system with a processing system having a hardware processor and a memory accessible to the processing system, a user interface controller under control of the processing system, a display controllable by the user interface controller to show a user interface, and logic, under control of the processing system. The logic has modules that control the user interface controller to cause the display to show a first clockface that indicates a time interval duration for at least a first event and an augmented reality background appearing behind the first clockface.

An electrical time measuring device, intended to conserve processor cycles and memory when used in indicating time interval durations, includes a computer system with a processing system having a hardware processor and a memory accessible to the processing system, a user interface controller under control of the processing system, and logic, under control of the processing system. The user interface presented thereby has various regions including an ante meridiem events region and a post meridiem events region that share a common center. Arciforms indicate the time duration of events. In various embodiments, an arciform has a first start point in one of the regions and connected to an initial arc of points that are equidistant from the common center, and a final arc of points that are equidistant from the common center connected to a first end point in a different one of the regions, with a transition indicator linking the initial arc with the final arc.

There is provided an information display device making it possible to improve the reliability of a display against an external force. The information display device includes a case portion for displaying time information in a predetermined operation mode, and a band portion to be worn on an arm, and includes one piece of thin display inside the case portion and the band portion. Inside the band portion, the thin display, a metal sheet, and a resin sheet are laminated. The present technology can be applied to an information display device, etc., for example.
