METHOD FOR VALIDATING A DETECTION OF CROSSING OF THE KARMAN LINE BY AN OBJECT PORTABLE BY A USER, IN PARTICULAR A WATCH
A validation method relating to the detection of a crossing of the Krmn line by a portable object (2) carried on board a rocket and incorporating a detection device including an acceleration sensor (8) capable of measuring accelerations of the portable object and an electronic unit for processing the acceleration measurements made so as to detect a crossing of the Krmn line by the portable object. The method calculates a confidence index, relating to measurements made by the portable object for a variable which is a function of forces exerted on this portable object, and checks whether a condition given for the confidence index is met. Also, a portable object, in particular a watch, designed to be able to implement a method for detecting a crossing of the Krmn line and the validation method of the invention.
Electronic watch for space and/or surface exploration
An electronic watch may be provided having functionality for space exploration and/or surface exploration on a terrestrial planet. The watch may comprise a time displaying means and a processor subsystem. The processor subsystem may be configured to maintain a coordinated planetary time of a terrestrial planet, obtain longitudinal data representing a longitude of interest on the terrestrial planet which is different from the planet's prime meridian, determine a local true solar time, LTST, at the longitude of interest as a function of the coordinated planetary time and using an equation of time which accounts for orbital eccentricity and rotational axis tilt of the terrestrial planet, and to control the time displaying means of the electronic watch to display the LTST.
Timepiece with localized illumination
The invention relates to a timepiece including, in addition to a crystal (34), the following external elements: a back (2), a middle (1), a dial (3) and two bracelet strands (30), at least one of these external elements comprising at least one part made of an at least partially transparent or translucent ceramic material, the timepiece further including at least two point light sources (10) releasing heat, each light source (10) being capable of being separately switched on/off and being disposed in or directly beneath said at least one external element comprising the ceramic material, each light source (10) producing light that passes through the ceramic material of said external element, and wherein each light source (10) is configured to produce localised light on a point or quasi-point area (40) of the ceramic material of the external element concerned, so as to produce localised illumination on said external element.
SCORE COUNTING DEVICE
The present invention relates to a score counting device comprising a strap and a housing, wherein the housing includes a processor, a battery, a display screen, and a plurality of input buttons, wherein a first input button is operative to add a unit to a score displayed on a first page on the display screen, a second input button is operative to subtract a unit from the score displayed on the first page, a third input button is operative to change the first page to a second page, a fourth input button is operative to change the second page to the first page, a fifth input button is operative to activate and deactivate the device and display screen; and a sixth input button is operative to aggregated scores on a third page, and wherein at least one input button is indented in the housing.
Dynamic user interface with time indicator
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.
TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING DISPLAY USAGE
The present disclosure generally relates managing display usage. In some embodiments, a device modifies various aspects of a displayed user interface as the device transitions from operating in a first device mode to operating in a second device mode. In some embodiments, the modifications involve altering the content included in a user interface and varying how the content is displayed.
Electronic devices and corresponding methods for redirecting user interface controls during accessibility contexts
A method in an electronic device includes detecting, with one or more processors, a communication device electronically in communication with both a content presentation companion device operating as a primary display for the electronic device and a wearable companion device while an application operating on the one or more processors presents content on the content presentation companion device, one or more sensors of the electronic device determine an accessibility context of the electronic device meets at least a first predefined criterion and a proximity context of the electronic device meets at least a second predefined criterion. In response, the one or more processors redirect one or more user interface controls from a user interface of the electronic device to a user interface of the wearable companion device.
Smart watch and method for measuring heart rate
The present disclosure provides a smart watch and a method for measuring heart rate information. The smart watch includes a dial, a watchband, and a processing device disposed on the dial or inside the watchband.
