A screen generation method that causes an information processing apparatus to generate an image of a timepiece includes: acquiring component information relating to a component in which a position of at least one portion or displayed information provided on a board surface of the timepiece can change, and placement information indicating a position of the component on the board surface of the timepiece; specifying, based on the placement information, a placement position in a case of placing a component image corresponding to the component information on the image of the timepiece; and generating, based on the specified placement position, a board surface image for operation used in response to operating the timepiece from an external terminal.

An electronic device includes a display to display information with a hand and at least one processor, in which the processor is configured to acquire the number of pulsations of a living body during a predetermined period and control the display to express a pulsation period based on the acquired number of pulsations of the living body with the hand.

The technology provides for an electronic device with gesture detection. In this regard, the device may include a housing, and one or more sensors positioned along an inner periphery of the housing. The sensors may be adapted to detect user interaction with an outer surface of the housing. The device may further include one or more processors in communication with the plurality of sensors. The one or more processors may be configured to determine the user interaction and to determine a type of gesture based on the detected user interaction, determine a type of input command based on the determined gesture, and execute a task corresponding to the determined type of input command

A method for the delayed processing of image data captured by a wrist-wearable device is provided. The method includes receiving, at a wrist-wearable device, image data having a first resolution. The method includes, responsive to receiving the image data having the first resolution, storing the image data on the wrist-wearable device. The method further includes downscaling at least a portion of the image data to produce downscaled image data having a second resolution and presenting, on the wrist-wearable device, the downscaled image data having the second resolution. The method further includes receiving a request to send a representation of the image data to a device distinct from the wrist-wearable device. Responsive to the request, the method includes causing image-processing algorithms to be applied to the stored image data such that processed image data is generated and made available at the distinct device.

A watch includes a control member capable of managing a primary function of the watch, such as a rotating crown or a push-piece, as well as a magnetic ball that can be manually pivoted by the user about the centre thereof. A 3D magnetic sensor is arranged in the watch to detect the orientation of the magnetic field emitted by the magnetic ball, in addition to a processor for converting an electric signal generated by the magnetic sensor into an instruction for managing one or more other electronic functions of the watch. The magnetic ball is partially arranged inside the control member such that it is accessible to a user. The watch can further comprise a proximity sensor for detecting the axial position of the control member relative to the middle of the watch.

Display units for digital out of home advertising with orientation-based operations adjustment and related methods are provided. The display unit includes an electronic display. A controller for the display unit receives orientation data from an orientation detection device, determines an orientation of the display unit, and adjusts operations of the display unit based, at least in part, on the orientation.

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. The processing device includes an optical emitter configured to emit light; an optical receiver configured to receive reflected light, the reflected light being generated by the light emitted by the optical emitter irradiating a skin for conversion into an electrical signal; and a processor configured to process the electrical signal to obtain heart rate information of a user.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least one sensor and at least one processor configured to identify a gesture identification request from a first application being executed by the at least one processor, in response to the identification of the gesture identification request, identify a gesture using at least one sensing data from at least one first sensor module activated, among the at least one sensor, based on a gesture application, provide the identified gesture to the first application, and perform at least one operation corresponding to the identified gesture based on the first application. Other various embodiments are possible as well.

A wearable device can include an electronic device and a band for securing the electronic device to the user. The electronic device can detect an identification of the band, which can serve as an input to initiate actions performed by the electronic device. For example, a type, model, color, size, or other characteristic of a band can be determined and used to select a corresponding action performed by the electronic device. Identification of the band can be performed by components of the electronic device that also serve other purposes. Existing sensors, communication elements, and/or detectors can be used to detect and identity a band provided to the electronic device. The electronic device can respond to the identification of a particular band by performing particular functions, such as changing an aspect of a user interface or altering settings of the electronic device.

The present invention provides a time display method and apparatus, and an electronic device. The time display method is applied to the electronic device, including: displaying a time dial, where the time dial includes a target pointer; and adjusting a display mode of the target pointer according to a first parameter of the electronic device, where the display mode of the target pointer includes at least one of the following: a color of the target pointer, a color filling amount of the target pointer, and a display attribute of a target element associated with the target pointer; and in a case that the display mode of the target pointer includes the display attribute of the target element, in a process of adjusting the display attribute of the target element, controlling a position relationship between the target element and the target pointer to remain unchanged.
