Abstract
A method of setting/calibrating a feature or function in a setting/calibrating mode of an electronic device including at least one actuatable selector, wherein the setting/calibrating of the feature or function requires an actuation of the at least one selector, wherein the electronic device includes at least one indicator hand coupled to an actuation mechanism that rotates the at least one indicator hand in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, wherein the method includes the steps of using the at least one indicator hand to indicate the actuatable selector for actuation; setting/calibrating the feature or function; and exiting the setting/calibration mode. An electronic device, that carries out the foregoing method is also provided.
Claims9
A method of setting and/or calibrating a feature or function in a setting and/or calibrating mode of an electronic device comprising at least one actuatable selector for actuation, wherein the setting and/or calibrating of the feature or function requires N selector actuations, wherein the electronic device comprises at least one indicator hand rotatable in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- setting and/or calibrating the feature or function by using the at least one indicator hand (N) time(s), wherein N≥2, to indicate an actuatable selector for actuation selected from the at least one actuatable selector for actuation;
- and
- exiting the setting and/or calibrating mode.
A method of setting and/or calibrating a feature or function in a setting/calibrating mode of an electronic device comprising at least one actuatable selector for actuation, wherein the setting and/or calibrating of the feature or function requires at least two (2) actuations, wherein the electronic device comprises at Last a first indicator hand rotatable in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction and at least a second indicator hand rotatable in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- setting and/or calibrating the feature or function by using the first indicator hand to indicate an actuatable selector for actuation selected from the at least one actuatable selector for actuation and using the at least second indicator hand to indicate an actuatable selector for actuation selected from the at least one actuatable selector for actuation for next actuation,
- exiting the setting and/or calibrating mode.
A method of setting and/or calibrating a feature or function in a setting and/or calibrating mode of an electronic device comprising at least one actuatable selector for actuation, wherein the setting and/or calibrating of the feature or function requires at least three (3) actuations, wherein the electronic device comprises a first indicator hand rotatable in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction and at least a second indicator hand rotatable in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- setting and/or calibrating the feature or function by using the at least first indicator hand to indicate an actuatable selector for actuation selected from the at least one actuatable selector, using either the first or the at least second indicator hand to indicate an actuatable selector for actuation selected from the at least one actuatable selector for actuation for next actuation;
- and
- indicating an actuatable selector for actuation selected from the at least one actuatable selector for actuation for a subsequent actuation with the first or at least second indicator hand to effectuate the setting and/or calibrating of the feature or function;
- and
- exiting the setting and/or calibrating mode.
