A system, and method for enhancing the utility inherent in the application of smartwatches, in functional combination with conventional watches, in a single watchband.

External user interface for head worn computing

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to external user interfaces used in connection with head worn computers (HWC). Embodiments relate to an external user interface that has a physical form intended to be hand held. The hand held user interface may be in the form similar to that of a writing instrument, such as a pen. In embodiments, the hand held user interface includes technologies relating to writing surface tip pressure monitoring, lens configurations setting a predetermined imaging distance, user interface software mode selection, quick software application launching, and other interface technologies.

Smart watch with variable-configuration display

This invention is a smart watch with variable-configuration displays which combine to provide a larger combined display when needed. When a person does not need a large display area, then a plurality of displays on the watch fit around the person's wrist and/or arm in a relatively compact first configuration. When the person needs a larger display area, then the plurality of displays are moved into a second configuration which creates a large, coplanar, combined display.

An exterior member that is favorably manufactured, a case having the exterior member and a timepiece having the case are provided. The exterior member includes an exterior main body section in which a first resin layer is provided on one side of a sheet member formed of carbon fiber and a cutout recess section from which a portion of the sheet member is exposed is provided in the first resin layer on the one side of the sheet member, and a protection member which covers the cutout recess section of the first resin layer. Accordingly, the exterior member is favorably manufactured with its strength being increased.

Modular system for watch

Wearable electronic devices, such as watches, can be part of a modular system that provides a variety of different components and functions to achieve the results that are desired by a user. The modular configurations allow a user to easily customize a watch with one or more functional modules to provide features that integrate with other operations of the body of the watch. The functional modules can be easily exchanged with each other to provide different components and functions at different times. Accordingly, a watch body need not include permanent components that provide every function that will later be desired by the user. Instead, the watch can have expanded and customizable capabilities by the use of one or more functional modules.

CONTROL DEVICE FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, STORAGE MEDIUM, TIMEPIECE, TIMEPIECE MAIN BODY AND BAND

At least one processor that identifies which of a plurality of exterior bodies individually formed in advance is an exterior body attached to a main body of an electronic device capable of executing at least a first function and a second function which are not display functions and are different from each other, enables at least the first function of the electronic device and disables at least the second function of the electronic device when the identified exterior body is a certain exterior body among the plurality of exterior bodies, and enables at least the second function of the electronic device and disables at least the first function of the electronic device when the identified exterior body is another exterior body different from the certain exterior body among the plurality of exterior bodies.
