INTEGRATED MULTIPART HOUSING FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Embodiments are directed to a portable wearable device having a housing that includes a shell formed from a sheet metal material and defining an outer surface of the portable wearable device and a frame formed from a polymer material molded to an inner surface of the shell. The housing also includes a cover glass coupled to a ledge of the frame, where the frame and the cover glass define at least a portion of a sealed cavity. The portable wearable device may include a display assembly coupled to an inner surface of the cover glass such that the display assembly is positioned within the sealed cavity.
Mounting base for a wirelessly locatable tag
A mounting base for use with a wirelessly locatable tag may include a base portion defining a latching member configured to engage a wirelessly locatable tag to releasably retain the wirelessly locatable tag to the mounting base, a contact block attached to the base portion and configured to be positioned at least partially within a battery cavity of the wirelessly locatable tag, the contact block defining a top side and a peripheral side. The mounting base may further include a first conductive member positioned along the peripheral side of the contact block and configured to contact a first battery contact in the battery cavity of the wirelessly locatable tag, a second conductive member outwardly biased from the top side of the contact block, the second conductive member configured to contact a second battery contact in the battery cavity of the tag, and a power cable coupled to the base portion.

System, Method and User Interface for Supporting Scheduled Mode Changes on Electronic Devices
An electronic device displays a reminder for increasing the first battery level above a first preset battery level when the a current time is within a first preset time period preceding a scheduled mode change and the first battery level is below a first preset battery level. The electronic device forgoes displaying the reminder for increasing the first battery level above the first preset battery level when the current time is outside of the first preset time period and the first battery level is below a first preset battery level.
TIME DISPLAY METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND 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.
Methods for using a multiresolution touch interface
A method for touch detection and fingerprint unlocking includes detecting a finger of a user being in contact with a multiresolution touch interface having a low-resolution mode and a high-resolution mode. The method also includes in response to the detecting the finger of the user being in contact with the multiresolution touch interface, determining a touch interaction associated with the detected finger under the low-resolution mode. The method also includes in response to the multiresolution touch interface being locked, switching a finger contact area of the multiresolution touch interface into the high-resolution mode, wherein the finger contact area is determined based at least in part on the determined touch interaction associated with the detected finger. The method also includes detecting a fingerprint in the finger contact area, and unlocking the multiresolution touch interface based at least in part on the detected fingerprint.

Coherent mixing interference based sensors for characterizing movement of a watch crown
An electronic watch includes a housing, a user-operable watch crown mounted to the housing, an electromagnetic radiation source emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation toward a watch crown surface, and a sensor. The beam of electromagnetic radiation depends on a coherent mixing of electromagnetic radiation within a resonant cavity of the electromagnetic radiation source. The coherent mixing includes a mixing of a first amount of electromagnetic radiation generated by the electromagnetic radiation source and a second amount of electromagnetic radiation redirected into the resonant cavity by the watch crown surface. The sensor measures a first parameter of the beam of electromagnetic radiation and determines, using the measurement of the first parameter, a value of a second parameter characterizing movement of the watch crown. The second parameter may include a direction of rotation or speed of rotation of the watch crown, or other parameters.
