An input detection method by a device to be worn on an arm by a band is disclosed. Output information of an acceleration sensor included in the device is acquired. The change to be an input is determined based on the output information, upon detecting a change corresponding to restraining by the band. The change represents a vibration caused by an impact applied to the device, the vibration alternately repeating a first motion and a second motion. The first motion is a motion in which the device moves in a direction of the impact. The second motion is a motion in which the device is pulled back in an opposite direction to the direction due to the restraining by the band.

A method and an electronic device implementing the method are disclosed. The electronic device may include sensors, a memory and a processor executing instructions stored in the memory to: select at least one sensor of the one or more sensors to detect movement of the electronic device and select a sampling frequency of the selected at least one sensor based on usage state information of the electronic device, detect the movement of the electronic device using the selected at least one sensor at the selected sampling frequency, and when the detected movement corresponds to at least one preset condition of the one or more preset conditions, execute a specific application of the one or more applications associated with the at least one preset condition.

An electronic wristwatch operable in two power modes. The wristwatch has an inertial sensor for detecting a gesture on a cover glass of the wristwatch. A touch panel is provided underneath the cover glass for detecting the gesture. Gesture detection by the inertial sensor is combined with gesture detection by the touch panel for triggering a switch from a first power mode to a second power mode.

A watch type mobile terminal configured to be wearable on a wrist and a control method thereof are provided. The watch type mobile terminal includes a display unit configured to display screen information, a terminal body configured to allow the display unit to be installed therein and disposed on the wrist, a sensing unit configured to sense a position in which the mobile terminal is worn, and a controller configured to allocate a particular region of the display unit, as a control region for receiving a control command based on the sensing result, and process a user's touch input applied to the control region, as a control command for controlling an operation of the mobile terminal.

A display position of an image is moved in accordance with positional information of a display device having a curved display surface. Displacement of a display device is sensed by a camera portion and an acceleration sensor, and the display position is determined in accordance with the displacement, so that the image is displayed in the display position. In the case where the display device rotates and the like, a desired piece of information can be displayed automatically in a display region that can be easily seen.

An electronic timepiece includes: a main unit having a reporting unit that reports information to a user; a crown that can be pulled out from and pushed back into a main unit by the user; a sensor that detects a state of the electronic timepiece; and a processor, wherein the processor detects a state of the crown and the state detected by the sensor and switches between a plurality of modes in accordance with the state of the crown, and wherein upon detecting that the crown has been pulled out or pushed back in, the processor causes the electronic timepiece to operate in a state reporting mode in which the reporting unit reports the state detected by the sensor to the user.

A display permutation method (500) implemented by a display device (100) for detecting the passage between a first orientation (131) of said display device (100) and a second orientation (132) of said display device (100) so as to permute at least one first indicator (110) between at least one first operating mode (101) and at least one second operating mode (102), and at least one digital display (140) between at least one first display mode (141) and at least one second display mode (142).

A wearable terminal includes: a body having a display that performs display, a sensor that detects a first angle of rotation by which the display has been rotated with respect to a first axis as an axis of rotation, and a controller that controls the display according to the first angle of rotation; and a band that is connected to the body and extends around the forearm in an arcuate shape, wherein the first axis is perpendicular to a second axis and is parallel to a direction in which the forearm extends, when the first angle of rotation is within a first angle range, the controller causes a first display image displayed, and when the first angle of rotation changes the first angle range to a second angle range, the controller causes a part of the first display image and a part of a second display image simultaneously displayed.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to detect a viewable region of a display surface on a user, the viewable region being viewable from the user, and display predetermined information in an area including the center of the viewable region.

A smart watch comprises a case, a display device configured to present a user interface disposed in substantially all of a face of the case, a bezel around the display device configured to be rotated to select a mode of operation of the smart watch, and an analog first watch arm and an analog second watch arm disposed over the display, the second watch arm coaxial with the first watch arm. In a first mode of operation, the user interface presents a watch dial and control the first and second watch arms indicate a time of day first and second watch arms to indicate a time of day. In a second mode of operation, the user interface presents a dial and control the first and second watch arms form a pointer, the pointer configured to indicate a reading on the dial.
