20090219788 | Combination watch and cell phone foldable onto each other for use around a wrist of a user - A combination watch and cell phone foldable onto each other for use around a wrist of a user. The combination includes a watch, a cell phone, a band, and apparatus selectively maintaining the watch and the cell phone folded against each other and the band. The band is engages around the wrist of the user. The watch is operatively connected to the band so as to form a wristwatch. The cell phone is operatively connected to the band. | 09-03-2009 |
20100195447 | Alarm clock and a system and a method to wake a user - An alarm clock, a system and a method wake a user. The alarm clock may have a transmitter which sends a signal to an ear piece which may be worn in and/or on an ear of a user. The earpiece may emit an alert in response to the wireless signal to alert the user to a specified time without disturbing other individuals. The earpiece may have a vibrating module which may emit vibrations into the ear after receiving the signal. The earpiece may have a speaker which may emit an audible alert. | 08-05-2010 |
20100302911 | PORTABLE TELEPHONE PROVIDED WITH A MECHANICAL WATCH - Portable device, of all types, including a watch ( | 12-02-2010 |
20110044136 | ALARM SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An alarm system and method for an electronic device that includes an alarm unit and a setting unit. The alarm system provides alarm management for the electronic device to prevent users from oversleeping. The setting unit is operable to set an alarm mode and an alarm time of the electronic device. The alarm mode includes a normal mode and a non-normal mode. If the electronic device is in the non-normal mode, the alarm unit is activated to ring for a default period at the alarm time and a stop option is disabled, where the stop option is operable to stop the alarm unit from ringing. | 02-24-2011 |
20110164472 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING LOCAL TIME AT AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A system and method for determining local time at an electronic device is disclosed. The system may include an input configured to receive home information for an electronic device. The system may also include a calibration module configured to calibrate the electronic device to a home time zone corresponding to the home information. Calibrating the electronic device may include determining a threshold time value for messages to be transmitted to and received from a home location associated with the home information and generating a time zone database based on the home time zone, and labeling each time zone in the time zone database with a label based on an offset in time from the home time zone. A time value corresponding to time of message transmission to and from the home location may also be determined. The system may also include a processor module configured to determine that the electronic device is within the home time zone in the event the time value is equal to or lesser than the threshold time value, determine that the electronic device is in a new time zone in the event the time value is greater than the threshold value. The new time zone may be calculated based on the time value and the time zone database. | 07-07-2011 |
20130272099 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE, TIME CALIBRATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A time calibration method includes steps: establishing a connection between the electronic device and the communication device. A trigger signal is produced to the communication device in response to the operation of the user triggering the communication device to update the time of the communication device. The time provided by the electronic device is obtained and compared to the time provided by the communication device. The time of the electronic device is calibrated according to the updated time of the communication device if the difference between the time provided by the electronic device and the updated time provided by the communication device is greater than a predetermined value. | 10-17-2013 |
20140233356 | Mobile Communication Watch Utilizing Projected Directional Sound - A watch worn by a user for interfacing with or integrated with a mobile communication device. The mobile communication device provides wireless communications with other communications devices. The watch also includes an electronics module integrated into the watch. The electronics module includes an interface for interfacing with the mobile communication device integrated into the watch. The user interfaces with the electronic module to perform operations upon the mobile communication device. in addition, the watch includes a mechanism for directing sound to the user's ear for private calling. The watch may also come with one or more pivotable bezel or a keyboard on a strap of the watch to increase the size of the user input. | 08-21-2014 |
20150049591 | MULTI-MEDIA WIRELESS WATCH - A method for interacting with a user through a smart watch can include displaying an interactive image. The method can further include detecting a contact moving continuously from a first edge of the touch-sensitive display toward a second, opposite edge of the touch-sensitive display. In response to the detection, the touch-sensitive display can display select function indicators in accordance with movement of the contact. The select function indicators can comprise four or fewer distinct, selectable icons. | 02-19-2015 |
