Disclosed is a method of outputting an alarm, the method being performed by an electronic device, the method including receiving a request for setting a schedule, from at least one user, storing identification information and schedule execution information on the at least one user, and tracking a target user of the schedule. If an alarm execution time included in the schedule execution information comes, the method further includes providing an alarm related to the schedule to the target user in a specific manner.

A transducer device of a wearable object or as a wearable object as such, includes means for generating a first action in a first operating mode related to a specific function of the wearable object under the control of a processor or microcontroller processing unit of an electronic circuit being powered by a DC voltage source. The means for generating is configured to generate a second communication action in a second operating mode different from the first operating mode so as to obtain a dual-mode transducer device. The second operating mode allows information or data communication signals to be communicated mainly to the outside of the transducer device so that it can be detected by a monitoring unit of a monitoring system, is able to establish communication, and can receive data or parameter signals from another transducer device. The communication signals are ultrasonic signals transmitted into a water body.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for setting alarm times in the field of electronics. The method includes: acquiring a target smart scene of a home device, where the target smart scene indicates a performance of a target operation at a triggering time; acquiring the triggering time from the target smart scene; and setting an alarm time based on the triggering time. With the present disclosure, after setting the target smart scene, a user corresponding to a terminal can set the alarm time without exiting a smart home application for the target smart scene.

The pillow with audible and vibratory alarms is a pillow that includes a vibrating member integrated therein. The vibrating member is able to generate a vibratory alarm to awaken an end user. The pillow also includes a scent distribution system that is able to dispense a scent from a side of the pillow, which the end user is able to smell, and may be optionally used as a scent alarm. The pillow includes a speaker that is able to emit an audible alarm, which is optionally used to awaken the end user. The vibrating member, the speaker, and the scent distribution system are all collectively in wired connection with a control module. In use, the end user utilizes the pillow in a traditional manner, but is optionally awaken via an audible alarm, a vibratory alarm, and/or a scent alarm.

A mobile electronic device according to one embodiment includes a sounding module that performs alarm sounding and a controller that determines whether the mobile electronic device is in a moving state. When it is determined that the mobile electronic device is in the moving state, the controller disables the alarm sounding by the sounding module.

A user controllable sleep system is provided-for, including at least one biometric sensor, a processor, memory in communication with the processor, a display in communication with the processor, and a user interface. The user interface provides landscape graphics relating to a selected soundscape comprising one or more related sounds. The user interface also has health indicia indicating health information from the biometric sensor and environmental indicia indicating environmental information received by the processor.

This disclosure is directed to a system including alarming functionality with contextual reactivity. Alarming functionality may be implemented in an alarm system to determine when to generate an alarm. A user may activate the alarming functionality without specifying an alarm time. The alarming functionality may then utilize context information to propose an alarm time. The user may then approve the alarm time. In the duration of time that follows, the alarming functionality may cause the context information to be updated. The alarming functionality may determine if the alarm time should be updated based on the updated context information, and may proceed to adjust the alarm time accordingly. An alarm may then be generated at the alarm time. The alarming functionality may further receive sensor information, and may use the sensor information to determine, for example, whether to regenerate the alarm or deactivate the alarm.

A visual electrical, time management device incorporating a display which indicates the time lapse between resets, and alerts clinical staff to the relative urgency to act for a patient unable to act for his or her own self. The invention is used to improve awareness and compliance for repositioning protocol for clinical staff or caregivers that a patient should be turned, moved, or repositioned to avoid DUs associated with long periods of time in the same position in bed. The device measures the time elapsed since last reset indicating how long the patient has been in the current position. The device face provides an easy to identify and understand visual or audio cues to how much time has lapsed and how much time is left before the patient may experience injury. The caregiver resets the device easily by activating the face directly, by voice, or other electronic method.

Embodiments of the present application relate to a method and apparatus for setting an alarm clock. The method includes receiving an input directed at a time-display area on a display screen of a device, adjusting time information displayed on the display screen according to the input, and setting an alarm clock according to the adjusted time information.

An electronic switch for controlling a device 170 by switching a function of the device at least in dependence on a sleep stage of a human. The switch includes an EEG data interface configured to receive brain activity data from an EEG sensor 120 configured to monitor electrical activity of the brain of the human during a training phase, an EEG sleep classifier 125 configured to classify sleep stages of the human from the received brain activity data, and a body data interface configured to receive body activity data from an alternative sensor 130 configured to monitor a bodily function of the human both during the training phase and during a subsequent usage phase. The alternative sensor is different from the EEG sensor, and the electronic switch further includes an alternative sleep classifier 135 and a machine learning system 140, the machine learning system being configured to train the alternative sleep classifier 135 to classify a sleep stage of the human from the received body activity data, the learning system using sleep stages classified by the EEG sleep classifier 125 and concurrent body activity data received from the alternative sensor as training data, wherein in the usage phase, the device 170 is controlled in dependency on sleep stages of the human classified by the alternative sleep classifier 135. A control logic 150 is configured to at least determine that the classified sleep stage is one of a set of particular sleep stages and to switch a function of the device at least in dependency on said determination.
