Abstract:
A teaching aid for those learning to tell time and learn the alphabet of a language. The teaching aid includes an interactive touchscreen alphabetic display. The present invention may assist in teaching the alphabet through providing a tactile-interactive medium, the touchscreen alphabetic display, for a user to select specific alphabetic characters and be provided visual feedback in the form of an image associate or corresponding with each selected alphabetic character. The teaching aid also provides a clock display for teaching time to the user.
Abstract:
A time keeping assembly comprises a display configured to present at least a first display appearance and a second display appearance, the first display appearance corresponding to a first time period and, the second display appearance corresponding to a second time period. The first display appearance may also be associated with a color, such as red, while the second display appearance may also be associated with another color, such as blue.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns an electronic timepiece with two analogue type hands. The timepiece includes an hour hand and a minute hand, the hour hand and the minute hand being arranged to operate independently of each other. The hour hand and the minute hand are arranged to operate in a first operating mode and in a second operating mode, which is arranged to be actuated by the timepiece detecting an event. In the second operating mode, the hour hand and the minute hand are arranged to operate in a different manner from their mode of operation in the first operating mode.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a display module having a hole and including a plurality of first light sources disposed along a perimeter of one side of the display module and a plurality of second light sources which are positioned opposite the plurality of first light sources and are disposed along a perimeter of the other side of the display module, a shaft rotatably inserted into the hole of the display module, a movement which is positioned in the rear of the display module, is connected to one end of the shaft, and provides a rotational force for the shaft, a window which is separated from the display module and is positioned in front of the display module, and a hand which is positioned between the display module and the window and is fixed to the other end of the shaft.
Abstract:
An analog electronic watch includes a hand and a control unit. The hand is configured to be rotatable. The control unit fast-forwards the hand to perform a fast-forward operation in different ways according to whether a type of a display object after switching is a time type or a period type, in a case where display contents are switched by using the hand.
Abstract:
A display apparatus includes: a plurality of first scan lines which extend in a radial direction; a plurality of second scan lines between adjacent first scan lines of the plurality of first scan lines which are adjacent to each other; a plurality of data lines which extend in a circular direction and intersect with the first and second scan lines; and a plurality of pixels in an area partitioned by the first scan lines, the second scan lines, and the data lines, the plurality of pixels being connected to the first scan lines, the second scan lines, and the data lines.
Abstract:
CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT APPLIED IN ELECTROMAGNETIC OR MAGNETIC WATCH, consisting of a mechanism that works by magnetic force. In this condition, besides proportioning the user an option for a mechanism with low power consumption, enables that the same be constructed in a total transparent form, without the need of traditional pinions and gears than that of traditional watches.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a timepiece that has a single hand, which is movable into a plurality of hand positions. The timepiece has a clockwork for mechanically moving the hand so that the hand is located in a hand position which corresponds to a current time of day and an actuating element connected to the clockwork. The clockwork is designed to change, upon actuation of the actuating element, from a first operating state into a second operating state and to move the hand so that the hand position in the first operating state displays minute information and in the second operating state displays hour information.
Abstract:
A watch display and a method of displaying time and date on a watch face. The watch face has an outer portion with twelve on/off lights spaced around the outer portion of the watch face showing numbers 1 to 12 to represent either the twelve hours of time or the twelve months of a year. An inner portion of the watch face includes on/off lights for showing two digits which would represent the minutes in the time mode or the day of the month in the date mode. The watch display may also include an animation mode wherein the lights run through a cycle of turning on and then off, sequentially, one at a time at desired times such as when the power is turned on or just before it is turned off. The method of the present invention includes showing time by turning on the lights showing numbers from 1 through the current hour and showing the minutes by the digits in the inner portion and/or showing the date by illuminating one light at the number of the month and showing the day of the month by the digits at the inner portion. The watch display may switch back and forth between the two modes or when either mode is left unattended or a certain period of time, turn off.
Abstract:
A wearable electronic device for conveying information in an analog manner at least in part by the use of at least one display hand positioned on the dial side of a dial, wherein the wearable electronic device uses the display hand(s) to convey information that is stored in the controller of the device and/or provided by sensors and/or an external transmitter. An actuation mechanism, preferably a stepper motor, is used to rotate the display hands in the clockwise and/or counterclockwise directions in predefined increments to convey the information.
