20170242401 · 2017-08-24 ·

A device for releasably sealing a port for a wearable electronic component includes a housing that seals an electronic component and includes a void for receiving the electronic component. The device may also include a cam disposed on a side surface of the housing having a proximal end pivotally engaged with the housing between a first position where a distal end of the cam is disposed adjacent to the housing and a second position where the distal end is disposed away from the housing. The cam may include a cam port that extends through a body of the cam. The device may further include a slider disposed on the side surface of the housing between the cam and the void, where the slider is slidably engaged with the housing between a sealed position and an open position.

Electronic device comprising water-repellent structure and method for operating same

According to various embodiments, there may be provided an electronic device comprising: a housing comprising a first space connected to the outside of the electronic device; a speaker device arranged inside the housing; a speaker housing comprising a second space formed to be spatially separated from the inner space of the electronic device by the speaker device inside the housing, the second space being arranged to be connected to the first space; a first atmospheric pressure sensor which is exposed to the first space and has a waterproofing function; a second atmospheric pressure sensor arranged in the inner space; and a processor, wherein the electronic device is configured to detect immersion of the electronic device in water or removal thereof from the immersion on the basis of the amount of atmospheric pressure change confirmed through the first atmospheric pressure sensor, and is configured to control the water-repellent operation through the speaker device on the basis of a difference value between first atmospheric pressure information acquired from the first atmospheric pressure sensor and second atmospheric pressure information acquired through the second atmospheric pressure sensor.

Method and device to notify an individual

A computer implemented method, device and product are provided. The method is under control of one or more processors with specific executable program instructions to obtain presence data indicative of one or more people in an environment and analyze the presence data to determine activity of the one or more people in the environment. The method determines a first notification preference and a second notification preference based on the activity of the one or more people in the environment and generates a command to apply the first notification preference or the second notification preference at a predetermined time.

Wearable communication device

Wearable communication devices, e.g. implemented in a watch, using short range communication e.g. to a cell phone allow a user to talk and listen, place and answer calls, send and receive text messages, initiate voice commands to mobile search for information and find locations, and be notified of incoming calls, texts, and events, all while a phone is nearby but not visible. Notification is performed with vibration, an LED light or OLED text display of incoming calls, texts, and calendar events. It allows communicating hands-free. The watches can be directly connected to a smartphone allowing using the watch as “remote control” for home appliances or any other devices via voice and buttons. Motion sensors such as accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope, together with audio generation device can be used for gaming applications.
