WEARABLE DEVICE AND METHOD OF CALIBRATING FORCE SENSOR IN WEARABLE DEVICE
A wearable device includes a main body, a force sensor disposed on one surface of the main body and configured to measure a force, and a processor configured to control the force sensor to measure a first force when the one surface of the main body faces upwards, control the force sensor to measure a second force sensor when the one surface of the main body faces downward, and calibrate the force sensor based on at least one of the measured first force and the measured second force.
Electronic device and method for controlling power supply of electronic device
An electronic device includes a first body and a second body which are detachably connected. The first body includes a frame and a fixing apparatus, and the second body includes a main functional unit. The fixing apparatus is connected to the frame and configured to fix the electronic device to an operation body. When the electronic device is fixed to the operation body via the fixing apparatus, the fixing apparatus and the frame form a ring-shaped space. A method for controlling power supply of the electronic device is also provided.

CONTEXT-SPECIFIC USER INTERFACES
Context-specific user interfaces for use with a portable multifunction device are disclosed. The methods described herein for context-specific user interfaces provide indications of time and, optionally, a variety of additional information. Further disclosed are non-transitory computer-readable storage media, systems, and devices configured to perform the methods described herein.
PRESENTATION OF ELECTRONIC CONTENT ACCORDING TO DEVICE AND HEAD ORIENTATION
In one aspect, a smart watch or other device may include at least one processor, a display accessible to the at least one processor, and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to identify an orientation of a user’s head and identify an orientation of the smart watch with respect to the user’s head. The instructions may also be executable to, based on the orientation of the user’s head and the orientation of the smart watch, present content on the display in a content orientation that is maintained with respect to a reference for the content to appear upright on the display relative to the reference.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ACTIVATING APPLICATIONS THEREFOR
A method and an electronic device implementing the method are disclosed. The electronic device may include sensors, a memory and a processor executing instructions stored in the memory to: select at least one sensor of the one or more sensors to detect movement of the electronic device and select a sampling frequency of the selected at least one sensor based on usage state information of the electronic device, detect the movement of the electronic device using the selected at least one sensor at the selected sampling frequency, and when the detected movement corresponds to at least one preset condition of the one or more preset conditions, execute a specific application of the one or more applications associated with the at least one preset condition.
WEARABLE POWER SUPPLY AND HAND WORN MOBILE DEVICE HAVING THE SAME
A wearable power supply includes a strap to be worn on a user's wrist, arm, waist, leg or head; a flexible secondary battery carried by the strap; and a connector slot disposed on the strap and electrically connected to the flexible secondary battery, wherein the flexible secondary battery is capable of supplying current to a mobile device via a connecting wire connected between the connector slot and the mobile device, and is recharged from an external power supply connected to the connector slot. When the wearable power supply takes the form of a wristband, it can be used as a carrier of a hand worn mobile device, such as a smart watch or a smart bracelet, to provide a longer operating range.
Electromechanical or digital watch including a dial and method of manufacturing such a dial
An electromechanical or digital watch includes a middle part that delimits with a glass a watch case. The glass includes an upper surface oriented upwardly, and a lower surface oriented towards the watch case. The watch also includes a dial made of an electrically non-conductive material. The dial includes a lower surface and an upper surface located opposite the watch case. Electrically conductive paths for the connection of one or more electronic components are structured on at least one of the lower or upper surfaces of the dial. The watch includes a flange that ensures, via the electrically conductive paths, the electrical connection between an electronic device arranged on the lower surface of the glass and the electronic components. The flange supports the dial or is made in one-piece with the dial.
Output devices for fabric-based electronic equipment
A fabric-based electronic device may include an electronic device housing coupled to fabric. Control circuitry may be mounted in the electronic device housing and may control the movement of an output device in the fabric that provides tactile output to a user. For example, the output device may include a wire enclosed within a flexible tube. The flexible tube may be intertwined with fibers in the fabric. The wire may include a kink or other irregularity that presses against the inner surface of the flexible tube. When the wire is rotated or moved into an appropriate position, the kink may press against the inner surface of the tube, which in turn forms a protrusion on the fabric. The protrusion may press against the user's body and may therefore be used to obtain the attention of a user that is wearing or holding the fabric-based electronic device.
Method of configuring watch screen and wearable electronic device implementing same
Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method of configuring a watch screen and a wearable electronic device implementing the same, which displays various pieces of information provided by an application, in an icon form, to enable a user to easily identify the information. A method of configuring a watch screen, the method comprising selecting one of a plurality of predetermined watch screens, thereby resulting in a selected watch screen; determining at least one icon of a plurality of predetermined icons as components of the selected watch screen; and displaying the selected watch screen, wherein the selected watch screen includes the at least one icon.
