Abstract
A wearable electronic device for conveying information in an analog manner at least in part by the use of at least one display hand positioned on the dial side of a dial, wherein the wearable electronic device uses the display hand(s) to convey information that is stored in the controller of the device and/or provided by sensors and/or an external transmitter. An actuation mechanism, preferably a stepper motor, is used to rotate the display hands in the clockwise and/or counterclockwise directions in predefined increments to convey the information.
Claims14
A wearable electronic device for recording multiple parameter readings taken over a continuous period of time during an activity and later displaying of multiple parameter readings taken over the continuous period of time recorded during the activity in an analog manner by the use of at least one display hand rotatable about an axis, wherein the wearable electronic device includes a dial assembly having a display hand side and an actuation mechanism side, and wherein the at least one display hand is positioned on the display hand side of the dial assembly, wherein the wearable electronic device comprises:
- means for receiving and storing the multiple parameter readings taken over the continuous period of time;
- processing means, operatively coupled to the means for receiving and storing, for processing the stored multiple parameter readings taken over the continuous period of time;
- at least one actuation mechanism, for rotating the at least one display hand in at least one of a clockwise and counterclockwise direction in predefined increments;
- wherein the processing means, operatively coupled to the at least one actuation mechanism, controls the actuation of the actuation mechanism so that the at least one display hand rotates in at least one of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions;
- and
- wherein after the activity has been completed, the display hand rotates in the one of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions in predefined increments and conveys to a user each of the multiple parameter readings recorded during the activity such that the wearable electronic device conveys the multiple parameter readings in a manner of a replay of the activity.
