An alarm clock device is provided that includes a deactivation apparatus for attaching to a fluid container that includes a housing, a clip formed on an exterior surface of the housing, the clip shaped to fit over an edge of the fluid container such that the housing rests adjacent to a surface of the fluid container, and a orientation sensing component disposed within the housing, the orientation sensing component configured to detect an angular orientation and movement of the deactivation apparatus. The alarm device includes an alarm apparatus for emitting an alert at a desired time, the alarm apparatus in communication with the deactivation apparatus. An alert emitted by the alarm apparatus is silenced when the orientation sensing component of the deactivation apparatus detects a change in an angular orientation of the deactivation apparatus corresponding to a user lifting and drinking from the fluid container.

An alarm clock includes a control main board, an alarm clock module, a short-distance wireless communication module and a clock module. The alarm clock module is electrically connected to the control main board. The short-distance wireless communication module is electrically connected to the control main board. The short-distance wireless communication module is configured for wireless connection with an external electronic device. The clock module is configured for displaying time. The clock module is electrically connected to the control main board and the short-distance wireless communication module. The clock module is wirelessly connected to the external electronic device via the short-distance wireless communication module for automatic time calibration.

The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for managing an alarm clock. The method includes: acquiring a movement of a user; and cancelling a prompt preset in the alarm clock if the user is in a moving state when it is time to execute the prompt.

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.

An alarm clock includes a microcontroller, a display unit, an audio output unit, ten numeric keys and a functional key. Upon determining that a long-press operation is performed on one of the numeric keys that corresponds to a weekly alarm setting, the microcontroller performs a weekly alarm setting procedure for the corresponding weekly alarm setting. In the weekly alarm setting procedure, the microcontroller sets an alarm time based on some numeric keys that are pressed in a time-setting stage, and sets an alarm day based on at least one numeric key and the functional key that are pressed in a day-setting stage. Then, the microcontroller displays the alarm time and the alarm day on the display unit.

An electronic apparatus includes an outer case, and a piezoelectric element mounted to an inner surface of the outer case and configured to impart vibration to the outer case due to deformation in correspondence with an applied voltage and to generate a voltage corresponding to deformation due to a shock imparted to the outer case. An induction element applies an increased voltage to the piezoelectric element, a first switch performs control as to whether or not to supply an electric current from a power source to the induction element, a second switch effects connection or disconnection between the induction element and the piezoelectric element, and a shock detection unit to detects a shock imparted to the outer case based on the voltage generated in the piezoelectric element.

Techniques are disclosed for facilitating disabling an alarm in response to particular types of activity-indicative data. More specifically, activity-indicative data (e.g., measurements obtained by an electronic device) can be detected prior to a preset alarm time. Upon determining, based on the activity-indicative data, that a wakefulness condition is satisfied, the alarm can be disabled such that the alarm stimuli is not to be presented at the preset alarm time.
