Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Discussed are a smart watch and a control method for the same, which provide a notification indicating events, which are scheduled to occur later on the basis of a take-off time, if the smart watch is taken off. The smart watch includes a display unit to display content, a communication unit to perform transmission/reception of data, and a sensor unit to detect an input signal with regard to the smart watch and transmit the signal to a processor that serves to control the aforementioned units. The processor detects a take-off signal, indicating separation of the smart watch from a user, in a worn mode, to switch the smart watch to an unworn mode in response to the detected take-off signal, and provides a notification indicating at least one event that is scheduled to occur after detecting the take-off signal in the unworn mode.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A smart watch comprising: a display unit configured to display content; a communication unit configured to transmit and receive data; a sensor unit configured to detect an input signal to the smart watch and transmit the detected input signal to a processor; and the processor configured to control the display unit, the communication unit, and the sensor unit, wherein the processor is further configured to: detect a take-off signal in a worn mode of…
