Digital coin timepiece for tactilely determining elapsed time
A digital coin timepiece that generates a tactile presentation which indicates elapsed time including a body member that includes a tactilely readable display surface that provides haptic feedback comprising first vibrations in a first location on the display surface when the tactilely readable display surface is touched by a user, with the first vibrations providing haptic feedback representing an actual minute or elapsed minutes so that the user can determine the actual or approximate time without having to view the display surface.
INTELLIGENT TERMINAL AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INTELLIGENT TERMINAL
An intelligent terminal is provided. The intelligent terminal includes a flexible screen, a screen switching assembly, and a controller. The controller is configured to control retracting or expanding of the flexible screen with the screen switching assembly in response to information received by the intelligent terminal, so as to realize a prompting function for information received by the intelligent terminal. The present disclosure also provides a method for controlling the intelligent terminal.
Wrist-based tactile time feedback for non-sighted users
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.

Pillow with audible and vibratory alarms
The pillow with audible and vibratory alarms is a pillow that includes a vibrating member integrated therein. The vibrating member is able to generate a vibratory alarm to awaken an end user. The pillow also includes a scent distribution system that is able to dispense a scent from a side of the pillow, which the end user is able to smell, and may be optionally used as a scent alarm. The pillow includes a speaker that is able to emit an audible alarm, which is optionally used to awaken the end user. The vibrating member, the speaker, and the scent distribution system are all collectively in wired connection with a control module. In use, the end user utilizes the pillow in a traditional manner, but is optionally awaken via an audible alarm, a vibratory alarm, and/or a scent alarm.
Timepieces for sight impaired
A timepiece includes: a plurality of pins mounted along a circumferential direction on a face of the timepiece, each of the pins having a first end and a second end opposite the first end; and a pin mover configured to rotate along the circumferential direction of the timepiece, the pin mover being configured to engage the second ends of the pins to move the first ends of the pins away from the face of the timepiece.

TIMEPIECE
Provided is a timepiece capable of preventing a deviation in an indication time when a user recognizes a time indication by touching with a finger. A timepiece includes: a dial having an indication region that is able to be exposed to outside and including a plurality of indexes that are able to be recognized with a tactile sense on the indication region; and one or more indication plates configured to rotate around a rotation shaft orthogonal to the indication region. Indicators indicating a time are formed on front surfaces of the indication plates by unevenness that is able to be recognized by finger touch.
