A calling system for a personal watercraft includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: obtain a specific state signal indicating that the personal watercraft is in a given specific state; and wirelessly transmit a calling signal based on the specific state signal.

A processor-based personal electronic device (such as a smartphone) is programmed to automatically respond to data sent by various sensors from which the user's activity may be inferred. One or more alarms on the device may be temporarily disabled when sensor data indicates that the user is asleep. One or more of the sensors may be worn by the user and remote from the device. A wireless communication link may be used by the device to obtain remote sensor data. Data from on-board sensors in the device—such as motion sensors, location sensors, ambient light sensors, and the like—may also be used to deduce the user's current activity. User data (such as calendar entries) may also be used to determine likely user activity and set alarms accordingly. Biometric data from a second, nearby person may also be used to automatically select certain alarm modes on a first person's device.

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, a display coupled to the body to vary a display region viewed from a front of the body according to switching between an enlarged display mode and a reduced display mode, an input unit configured to sense user input, and a controller. The controller controls switching of the display to the enlarged display mode according to first input.

A system for reducing traffic accidents caused by distraction from a mobile telecom device. The system detects when the device is near a driver's seat of a moving vehicle. While the system is carrying a voice call between a remote voice device and the mobile device, the system modifies voice signal transmission between the devices by periodically playing a beep or other signal to remind the parties that one of them is driving and suspends voice signal transmission from the remote device to the mobile device when the system detects that circumstances affecting level of attention required for driving merit the driver paying greater attention.

A wearable device can establish a verified session with a host device (e.g., by establishing that the wearable device is present in the vicinity of the host device and is currently being worn). The existence of such a verified session can be used to control user access to sensitive information that may be stored in or otherwise accessible to a host device. For example, the host device and/or application programs executing thereon can be configured to restrict a user's ability to invoke program functionality that accesses sensitive information based on whether a verified session with a wearable device is currently in progress.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a first orientation in which a computing system is positioned. A first functionality can be provided when the computing system is positioned in the first orientation. It can be determined that the computing system becomes positioned in a second orientation. A second functionality can be selected, out of a set of functionalities, based on a current state associated with the computing system. The second functionality can be provided when the computing system becomes positioned in the second orientation.

A mobile terminal (20), and in particular, a mobile terminal (20), a combined terminal device (30) and a method for splicing control of mobile terminals (20). For a splicable mobile terminal (20), according to a state determination instruction, the mobile terminal (20) is caused to selectively enter a master operating state or a slave operating state; when the mobile terminal (20) operates as a master, a display partitioning unit (a2) partitions the display content of the master according to the display screen resource of individual mobile terminals (20) in a combined terminal device (30), to obtain a plurality of pieces of partitioned display data corresponding to a plurality of the mobile terminals (20) in the combined terminal device (30), and sends corresponding partitioned display data to slaves; and in a case in which the mobile terminal (20) acts as a slave, upon reception of the partitioned display data from the master, a display switching unit (a3) displays the received partitioned display data. The content displayed by the master can be displayed by the slaves, and when there are a large number of slaves, the content can be displayed to a user on a relatively large screen composed of a plurality of slaves, satisfying people's demand for a large display area.

An electronic device includes a display, and at least one controller that, when an operation to cancel limitation of operations of the electronic device is detected, is configured to cancel the limitation of operations and presents a first screen on the display. The at least one controller is further configured to present a second screen which is different from the first screen on the display when the operation to cancel the limitation of operations is an operation with a thumb.
