Electronic Timepiece and Movement
An electronic timepiece has a display device that displays display information, a drive mechanism that drives the display device, a crown that can perform a rotary operation, and a control device that corrects the display information displayed on the display device by the rotary operation of the crown. The control device has a single correction mode and a continuous correction mode which are selected by the rotary operation of the crown. In the single correction mode, a single correction signal is output to the drive mechanism so that the display device is corrected as much as a single correction quantity. In the continuous correction mode, a continuous correction signal is output to the drive mechanism so that the display device is corrected as much as a continuous correction quantity. The continuous correction quantity is set depending on types of the display information to be corrected in the continuous correction mode.
GRAPHICAL INDICATORS IN ANALOG CLOCK FORMAT
Some aspects relate to display of a plurality of graphical indicators on a display, each of the plurality of graphical indicators associated with a respective time interval, wherein, for each of the plurality of graphical indicators, a length of the displayed graphical indicator represents a value of a metric associated with the respective time interval of the graphical indicator, wherein first ends of each of the plurality of graphical indicators substantially trace an arc of a circle, and wherein, for each graphical indicator, a position of the first end of the graphical indicator on the arc of the circle indicates the respective time interval associated with the graphical indicator.
Display unit with monitoring features
Digital signage unit, such as for digital out of home advertising, with monitoring features are provided. The digital signage unit include an electronic display, a shock sensor, and a controller which receives data from the shock sensor and determines, on an ongoing basis, an operating status of the digital signage unit based, at least in part, the data from the shock sensor.
Biometric detection using photodetector array
A computing device, such as a wearable device, may include a light source and a photodetector array. The photodetector array may be used to determine a touch event of a user that occurs during a time interval. A subset of the plurality of photodetectors associated with the touch event may provide detection signals at each of a plurality of times within the time interval, which may be aggregated to obtain a time series of aggregated detection signals. Biometric data of the user may be generated, based on the time series of aggregated detection signals.
Wearable Electronic Device with Electrodes for Sensing Biological Parameters
An electronic device, such as a watch, has a housing to which a carrier is attached. The carrier has a first surface interior to the electronic device, and a second surface exterior to the electronic device. A set of electrodes is deposited on the exterior surface of the carrier. An additional electrode is operable to be contacted by a finger of a user of the electronic device while the first electrode is positioned against skin of the user. The additional electrode may be positioned on a user-rotatable crown of the electronic device, on a button of the electronic device, or on another surface of the housing of the electronic device. A processor of the electronic device is operable to determine a biological parameter of the user based on voltages at the electrodes. The biological parameter may be an electrocardiogram.
Crown assembly for an electronic watch
An electronic watch may include a housing defining a side wall having a through-hole and a crown assembly including an actuation member. The actuation member may include a crown shaft extending through the through-hole and having an exterior portion defining an input surface and a crown ring coupled to the exterior portion of the crown shaft and electrically isolated from the crown shaft. The crown assembly may further include an optical encoder component attached to the actuation member and defining a group of optical features. The electronic watch may further include an optical detector configured to detect rotation of the crown assembly by detecting motion of the group of optical features and an electrocardiograph sensor comprising a sensing component. The sensing component may be conductively coupled to the actuation member via a conductive path at least partially defined by the crown shaft.
Display unit with monitoring features
Digital signage unit, such as for digital out of home advertising, with monitoring features are provided. The digital signage unit includes an electronic display, a sensor for measuring tilt, and a controller which receives data from the sensor and determines, on an ongoing basis, an operating status of the digital signage unit based, at least in part, on the data from the sensor.
Semiconductor IC, electronic device, and time display method
An electronic device equipped with a communication device which is a GPS communication module is provided with a calculator, a specifying portion, and a display controller. The calculator calculates a position by Doppler positioning. The specifying portion specifies a time zone based on the position calculated by the calculator.

Solar panel, electronic instrument, and electronic timepiece
A solar panel is provided on a visible side of a display panel and includes a transmissive area, a power generator and an anti-reflector. The transmissive area transmits light. The power generator generates electric power from light. The anti-reflector is provided on a display-panel-facing surface of the power generator to prevent reflection of light on the power generator. The display-panel-facing surface of the power generator faces the display panel. The light, the reflection of which is prevented by the anti-reflector, is among light having passed through the transmissive area and been reflected by the display panel.
