Abstract
A watch includes a pointer that rotates and indicates a time, a notifier that performs a notification operation to a user in a mode other than a visual mode, and a processor that controls the rotation of the pointer and the notification operation of the notifier. The processor is configured to control the pointer to cause the pointer to rotate faster than a rotation corresponding to a passage of time and move to a specified position and, when the pointer arrives at a notification position while the pointer is moving fast, control the notifier to cause the notifier to perform the notification operation.
Claims18
A watch, comprising:
- a pointer that rotates and indicates a time;
- a notifier that performs a notification operation to a user in a mode other than a visual mode;
- and
- a processor that controls the rotation of the pointer and the notification operation of the notifier;
- wherein
- the processor is configured to control the pointer to cause the pointer to rotate faster than a rotation corresponding to a passage of time and move to a specified position and, when the pointer arrives at a notification position while the pointer is moving fast, control the notifier to cause the notifier to perform the notification operation
A pointer control method executed by a processor that controls a rotation of a pointer that rotates and indicates a time, and a notification operation of a notifier that performs the notification operation to a user in a mode other than a visual mode, the control method comprising:
- controlling the pointer to cause the pointer to rotate faster than a rotation corresponding to a passage of time and move to a specified position and, when the pointer arrives at a notification position while the pointer is moving fast, controlling the notifier to cause the notifier to perform the notification operation.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a program that causes
- a computer, that controls a rotation of a pointer that rotates and indicates a time, and a notification operation of a notifier that performs the notification operation to a user in a mode other than a visual mode, to
- control the pointer to cause the pointer to rotate faster than a rotation corresponding to a passage of time and move to a specified position;
- and
- when the pointer arrives at a notification position while the pointer is moving fast, control the notifier to cause the notifier to perform the notification operation.
