[0049] The data includes an eternal calendar in a leap year, reset from summer time to winter time and vice versa, especially in countries with multiple time zones, it's possible for the user to select the desired time zone via input to the control circuit or the microcontroller.

[0050] The digital display screen as shown in FIG. 1 Arrow (1), which is a light emission (LCD) screen. The screen contains digital numbers to represent the time; the clock supports the ability to get instant updates about the weather, sunrise and sunset times, in addition to its support to display prayer alerts, the date, the temperature and alarm.

[0051] The application supports several languages and runs on AndroidIOS, it's will be provided in Google play/App Store.

[0052] Required System: Android 5.1 and latest version, IOS 8.0 and latest version.

[0053] Used Applications: Android and IOS.

[0054] In the programming of the clock and its application there is a database in Hijri (AH) and Gregorian (AD) calendar, thereby all international and internal days or events are marked according to the specified date then it will appear on the screen automatically as shown in FIG. 1 Arrow (5), thereby the event name will appears if the date for this day comes, and the same applies to the internal days and events in each country.

[0055] The clock connects to the phone using the Bluetooth LE Low Energy version which conserves energy and pushes information only when necessary.

[0056] The Power Source: The battery used in this clock is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which is a type of permanent secondary battery, it's recharged by absorbing light through the clock dial, and the charging is done by converting the fallen light into electrical energy. The permanent secondary battery does not require periodic replacement so at the end of its life it needs to be replaced with another secondary battery and not a different one such as regular silver oxide or others.

[0057] The power supply connected to the microcontroller to operate the clock; This power supply which contains battery to provide continuous power so that the function of the microcontroller and time base generator is guaranteed during the clock transfer using the time reference of the time base generator to update the time during the transmission of the clock, when the power supply is connected to the power, the microcontroller helps to make the clock displaying the current time in a specific geographical area.

[0058] When the power source is disconnected, the backup power supply ensures that the data stored in the memory is maintained, the microcontroller and time base generator are operational.

[0064] *The Explanation of how the Reminder Feature is Done of the International Days and Events or any Other Marked Date*

[0065] This new function in the clock when specifying a particular date in the calendar for example; someone's birthday when this day comes from 12 am, his name will appear on the small screen, that's because it's been written and marked already on the calendar with the name, therefore this small screen will display all the marked date notifications as well as the matter in the international days and events, for example The International Mother's Day as shown in FIG. 1 Arrow (5).

[0066] The name will be visible throughout the day, with a beep sound every 4 hours through the sound slots as shown in FIG. 2 Arrow (13), until the sound is turned off automatically by the application in the phone or manually from the clock, the same is done with the important international days or occasions in the year, once the date comes it will automatically appears in the screen directly with the event name, even if there is more than one date notification the screen will display each marked date alternately.

[0067] The alarm with this reminder begins four days before the date of any marked day, and the name will appear on the screen intermittently during these days, therefore when the date of this day comes, the name will appear on the screen throughout the day for 24 hours and the sound tone in every 4 hours until it's manually stopped from the clock or the application.

[0068] In the microprocessor and controller unit of the clock every date and special event whether international or internal specific to each country is marked and named to be displayed on the screen when the date of this day comes.

[0069] The clock relies on syncing with the Android and IOS Smartphone and displaying necessary notifications such as the notifying for an important meeting, date, or other alerts and information.

[0070] According to the present invention after manufactured the clock and before the user purchases it, the actual time is entered into it via an electromechanical interface, in the preferred form for the actual date or corresponding data set.

[0071] Then the clock continues to run and displays the actual time correctly, this is accomplished by using a program stored in memory or by using the necessary data to correctly display the time also stored in the memory in preferred embodiments, so it displays the information of the time and the date.

[0072] Especially in countries with multiple time zones, it is possible for the user to select the desired time zone via an input to a control circuit or a microcontroller.

[0073] The screen displays the current time applied to that time zone, and optionally the current date.

[0074] Store all calendar data including the eternal calendar leap years, and switch the time between summer/winter and vice versa in the memory as a primary data set for example; in (read-only memory or a memory with features or ROM features).

[0075] Via the electromechanical interface, it is recommended that the clock will be set to the current time and date for the concerned sales area. The data is digitally read via setup means, such as a mobile application with matching setup program into the memory and stored it there, starting from the data set across the interface then via the signal generated by the time base, in geographic regions or countries with multiple time zones setting is implemented for a specific time zone (base time zone).

[0076] The clock user chooses his time zone by entering the time that corresponds to the specific time zone in which it's located. From the data of the base time zone the microcontroller determines the data of the time zone specified by the user and stores it in the memory as the basis for further representation of the time and date on the screen by means of the electromechanical interface when the clock is initially set.

[0077] *The Security Sensors in the Clock*

[0078] The clock has a high-precision sensor to measure forehead temperature automatically without touch, which works in infrared as shown in FIG. 1 Arrow (3), with a color display screen in large digits numbers to comfortably read the resulting temperature as shown in FIG. 1 Arrow (2)

[0079] Where the internal temperature is measured without touching the person from a safe distance via the distance measuring sensor as shown in FIG. 1 Arrow (4) using an infrared technology that simply collects the temperature from the thermal radiation and the infrared energy released by the person.

[0080] All the mentioned measurements are for example, they may be change in the practical model (prototype) and the final manufacture.

[0093] In the above alarm function there is a smart alert feature with 3 colors depending on the situation: [0094] Temperature higher than 32 C. and less than 37.4 C. (green light). [0095] Temperature higher than 37.4 C. and less than 38.5 C. (orange light with alarm). [0096] Temperature higher than 38.5 C. and less than 42 C. (red light with alarm) in addition to the multilingual audio broadcasting feature.

[0097] The clock has a movement detector to detect the movement near it; the device is often integrated into a system that automatically performs a task or alerts about the user movement in the area.

[0098] It only senses the falling of the moving object via emission or reflection.

[0099] Changes in proximity to the device are explained by electronics based on one of several technologies.

[0100] The technology used in this present invention is passive infrared (PIR), these sensors are sensitive to the temperature of the person's skin through black-body radiation emitted at medium infrared wavelengths.

[0101] These devices can detect objects, people or animals by capturing the infrared.

[0102] After sensing the movement near the clock, it automatically emits a green laser light on the ground from the slot as shown in FIG. 1 Arrow (6), which is a slot with a fixed template drawn on it a circle with a feet drawing shape inside it, this is in the programming of the clock so that the light falls into the ground in the form of feet shape as shown in FIG. 1 Arrow (7), for a person to stand on it and to be in an appropriate angle to the clock, and therefore it recognizes the face and measures the temperature, another person can come and do the same thereby it will recognize him.
