The present invention is to reduce an increase in a processing load when a background image is displayed in addition to pointer images indicating pointer movements. A control section displays a plurality of pointer images indicating pointer movements in a timepiece display area of a display section based on time information acquired from a clock circuit. Here, the control section identifies an area where the plurality of pointer images are displayed, such as a pointer movement area or a pointer presence area in the pointer movement area, and controls to perform high-load and low-load display operations with different processing loads on the identified area and an area other than the identified area, such as an outer area outside the pointer movement area or a pointer absence area in the pointer movement area, respectively.

A display device includes a display having a first area and a second area, a counter configured to count a number of steps of a user during walking, and a processor configured to alternately turn on display of the first area and display of the second area in a case where the number of steps of the user during walking is being counted by the counter.

Electronic watch faces can be created in customized and associated with a block chain system. More particularly, the block chain's system uses non-fungible tokens which are in general unique, to represent the ownership of a specific watch face. Users own the token and can display the watch face only while they own the token. After selling the watch face, the token is changed to represent the new owner of the token and the original owner can no longer display the watch face at that point.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for displaying information, a program, and a communication system, which enable the provision of an apparatus making use of a display device excellent in flexibility. An information display apparatus includes a display unit including a time information presenting section for presenting at least time information and a band section to be worn on an arm, and a display control unit for changing a display of the display unit. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, the information display apparatus.

A digital display mechanism for the alphanumeric segment display of an integer magnitude whose instantaneous value is defined by an output of a timepiece movement, including a continuous display support guided along a particular trajectory by a guide device and driven in at least one direction of travel by a drive device, including at least a first display surface and a second display surface which are different from each other, each first surface or second surface forming only one part of an alphanumeric symbol, numeral or letter, and arranged to be visible to a user of the timepiece, each continuous display support being either a serrated belt driven by a serrated pinion complementary to the serration of the belt, or a chain driven by a pinion complementary to the articulation of the links of this chain.

An electronic timepiece includes a display section capable of displaying reception state information based on the strength of a received satellite signal or the number of captured satellites during the execution of a reception process. In a case where a predetermined period has elapsed with no acquisition of time information or position information since the reception process started, the reception state information is displayed on the display section, and in a case where the time information or the position information has been successfully acquired within the predetermined period since the reception process started, the reception state information is not displayed on the display section but the reception process is terminated.
