A consumer product that is a portable and, in some cases, a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device may have functionalities including: keeping time; monitoring a user's physiological signals and providing health-related information based on those signals; communicating with other electronic devices or services; visually depicting data on a display; gather data from one or more sensors that may be used to initiate, control, or modify operations of the device; determine a location of a touch on a surface of the device and/or an amount of force exerted on the device, and use either or both as input.

The present invention relates to a device and method that generates a tactile presentation, which indicates time on a mobile device. The mobile device includes a touch screen, a processor, and the functionality to be activated to electrovibrate in at least one portion of the touch screen. The processor receives electrical signals specifying and displaying a current time on the touch screen. The touch screen generates electrovibrations that vary in response to the time to provide the tactile presentation of the time on the touch screen. The haptic feedback is configured to emulate shapes such as a numeric character or other discernable shape in a location on a portion of the touch screen, so that a user by contacting the touch screen can sense the numeric character or shape generated by the haptic feedback and determine the time elapsed within an hour without having to view the touch screen.

An acoustic device includes a waterproof vibrating membrane and a magnetic component disposed below the waterproof vibrating membrane. The waterproof vibrating membrane includes a convex portion which protrudes toward a position of the magnetic component, or a concave portion which is recessed opposing to a position of the magnetic component. The magnetic component includes a concave pressure buffering portion corresponding to a shape of the convex portion of the waterproof vibrating membrane wherein the concave pressure buffering portion is recessed toward a side opposing to a side on which the waterproof vibrating membrane is located, or a convex pressure buffering portion corresponding to a shape of the concave portion of the waterproof vibrating membrane wherein the convex pressure buffering portion protrudes toward a side on which the waterproof vibrating membrane is located.

An electronic device is disclosed including a housing including an outer wall, an inner, and a first through hole formed in the inner space, an audio module located in the inner space, a support structure located in the inner space between the audio module and the first through hole and including a second through hole; and a waterproof structure located in the inner space between the support structure and the outer wall including a flexible gasket. The gasket may include an outer rim, a recess portion moveable between the first through hole and the second through hole, and a connection portion between the rim and the recess portion, including at least one opening around the recess portion, such that the opening and the second through-hole form a sound path between the audio module and the first through-hole in the absence of pressure from an external liquid.

An apparatus for use with a clock body, a clock movement having an hour hand and a sound chip. The apparatus includes a system which is operatively coupled to the clock body, is in receipt of a sound chip, and is adapted to be triggered periodically by a clock movement to produce a sound.

The present disclosure generally relates to tactile time feedback. Systems and methods for tactile time feedback include detecting a sequence of touch inputs at an electronic device, and in response to a determination that the sequence of touch inputs meets tactile time output criteria, output a tactile output pattern that indicates a time of day.

A wearable device and a method for controlling the same, the wearable device including: a device main body and a wearing part for having the device main body worn on a human body, and the device main body is provided with a micro-controlling unit for controlling operation of the wearable device; and the wearing part is provided with one or more linear motors, each of the linear motors is connected to the micro-controlling unit by a controlling wire, and when the linear motor receives a specified signal of the micro-controlling unit, the linear motor correspondingly vibrates. The wearable device provides one or more linear motors on the wearing part, and controls the linear motors to, upon receiving the specified signal, vibrate, thereby providing the user with a solution of portable vibration tactile feedback and enhancing the user usage experience of the wearable device.

Provided is a device for outputting an audio signal. The device includes: a vibrator configured to output the audio signal; a vibrator cover provided on the vibrator to transmit the output audio signal to a surface of an object mounted with the device; a sensor configured to measure a pressure between the surface of the object and the vibrator cover; a distance adjusting unit configured to adjust a distance between the surface of the object and the vibrator cover based on the pressure measured by the sensor to optimally output the audio signal; and a control unit configured to control the vibrator, the sensor, and the distance adjusting unit.
