## Abstract

There is provided a wearable device including: a display that displays time; and a processor, in which the processor includes an acquisition unit that acquires moving object information related to a moving object which moves to a destination place and a time difference of the destination place with respect to standard time, and a correction unit that corrects the time to be displayed on the display unit based on the time difference when it is determined that a predetermined condition related to arrival of the moving object to the destination place is satisfied based on the moving object information.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A wearable device comprising:
a display that displays time; and
a processor that acquires moving object information related to a moving object which moves to a destination place and a time difference of the destination place with respect to standard time, and corrects the time to be displayed on the display unit based on the time difference when it is determined that a predetermined condition related to arrival of the moving object to the destination place is satisfied based on the moving object information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wearable device according to claim 1, further comprising:
an atmospheric pressure sensor; and
an acceleration sensor,
wherein the moving object information includes departure-place atmospheric pressure and current-place atmospheric pressure that are measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor, and an acceleration speed from a departure place to a current place that is measured by the acceleration sensor, and
wherein the processor determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied when it is specified that the moving object is descending based on the acceleration speed of the moving object information, and when a ratio value between an altitude specified based on the atmospheric pressure of the moving object information and an altitude specified based on the acceleration speed of the moving object information is equal to or larger than a predetermined value.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The wearable device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a first receiver configured to receive a first specific signal transmitted from the moving object,
wherein the first receiver generates determination information indicating whether or not the moving object is transmitting the first specific signal,
wherein the moving object information includes the determination information, and
wherein the processor determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied when the determination information included in the moving object information indicates that the moving object does not transmit the first specific signal.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The wearable device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a second receiver configured to receive a second specific signal whose frequency bandwidth obtained by a frequency of a carrier wave is different for each region; and
a memory that stores frequency information indicating the frequency bandwidth obtained by the frequency of the carrier wave of the second specific signal transmitted from the destination place,
wherein the moving object information includes the frequency of the carrier wave of the second specific signal received by the second receiver, and
wherein the processor determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied when the frequency included in the moving object information is included within the frequency bandwidth obtained by the frequency of the carrier wave of the second specific signal transmitted from the destination place, by referring to the frequency information.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The wearable device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a positioning unit that specifies a current position based on a satellite signal transmitted from a position information satellite; and
a memory that stores time zone information indicating a relationship between a position and a time difference with respect to the standard time,
wherein the moving object information includes the current position specified by the positioning unit, and
wherein the processor specifies a time difference of the current position with respect to the standard time by referring to the time zone information, and determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied when the specified time difference matches with the time difference of the destination place.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The wearable device according to claim 1,
wherein the moving object information includes an estimated arrival time at which the moving object is estimated to arrive at the destination place, and
wherein the processor determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied when the time to be displayed on the display unit reaches time that is earlier than the estimated arrival time by a predetermined time.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The wearable device according to claim 1,
wherein the moving object information includes an estimated arrival time at which the moving object is estimated to arrive at the destination place and a delay time by which the moving object is delayed from the estimated arrival time, and
wherein the processor determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied when the time to be displayed on the display unit reaches time that is earlier than time obtained by adding the delay time to the estimated arrival time by a predetermined time.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The wearable device according to claim 1,
wherein the moving object information includes the destination place, a current position of the moving object, and a moving speed of the moving object, and
wherein the processor calculates an estimated arrival time at which the moving object is estimated to arrive at the destination place based on the destination place, the current position of the moving object, and the moving speed of the moving object, and determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied when the time to be displayed on the display unit reaches time that is earlier than the estimated arrival time by a predetermined time.

### Claim 9

A time correction method of a wearable device including a display that displays time and a processor, the method causing the processor to:
acquire moving object information related to a moving object which moves to a destination place and a time difference of the destination place with respect to standard time; and
correct the time to be displayed on the display unit based on the time difference when it is determined that a predetermined condition related to arrival of the moving object to the destination place is satisfied based on the moving object information.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The time correction method according to claim 9,
wherein the moving object information includes departure-place atmospheric pressure and current-place atmospheric pressure measured by an atmospheric pressure sensor, and an acceleration speed from a departure place to a current place measured by an acceleration sensor, and
wherein the processor is caused to determine that the predetermined condition is satisfied when it is specified that the moving object is descending based on the acceleration speed of the moving object information, and when a ratio value between an altitude specified based on the atmospheric pressure of the moving object information and an altitude specified based on the acceleration speed of the moving object information is equal to or larger than a predetermined value.
