Abstract
A smart watch comprises a case, a display device configured to present a user interface disposed in substantially all of a face of the case, a bezel around the display device configured to be rotated to select a mode of operation of the smart watch, and an analog first watch arm and an analog second watch arm disposed over the display, the second watch arm coaxial with the first watch arm. In a first mode of operation, the user interface presents a watch dial and control the first and second watch arms indicate a time of day first and second watch arms to indicate a time of day. In a second mode of operation, the user interface presents a dial and control the first and second watch arms form a pointer, the pointer configured to indicate a reading on the dial.
Claims20
A smart watch, comprising:
- a case having a face;
- a display device disposed in substantially all of the face of the case, the display device configured to present a user interface;
- a communication element configured to receive data from a paired device;
- a memory configured to store the received data;
- an analog first watch arm and an analog second watch arm disposed over the display, the second watch arm coaxial with the first watch arm;
- a watch arm drive disposed within the case, the watch arm drive configured to independently rotate the first watch arm and the second watch arm;
- and
- a processor coupled with the display device, the memory and the watch arm drive, the processor configured to:
- cause the user interface to present a watch dial and control the watch arm drive to rotate the first and second watch arms to indicate a time of day in a first mode of operation, and
- cause the user interface to present a second dial and control the watch arm drive to rotate the first and second watch arms to form a pointer in a second mode of operation, the pointer configured to indicate on the second dial a reading corresponding to the received data;
- wherein only the watch dial and the second dial are presented on the user interface in the first mode of operation and the second mode of operation, respectively.
