An electronic device includes a communication module configured to communicate with an external device having a battery capacity greater than a battery capacity of the electronic device, a display, and at least one processor. The processor is configured to control the communication module to transmit a communication start request to the external device, and in a case where the electronic device receives notification information from the external device, change an operation mode of the electronic device from a first mode to a second mode. The display performs displaying a normal operation of the electronic device in the first mode, and the display performs displaying based on the notification information in the second mode.

Electronic device, control method of electronic device, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An electronic timepiece includes a first display section including a first rotatable part and a processor. In the first display section, a predetermined number of display contents being a same display content is simultaneously displayed at predetermined angle intervals in a rotation angle range of the first rotatable part, wherein the predetermined number is two or more. The first display section makes a display pattern that shows change in the display content appear the predetermined number of times cyclically according to rotation of the first rotatable part. When causing the first display section to display a first display content of first display contents included in the display pattern, the processor selects an angular position from angular positions for the first display content in the predetermined number of display patterns, and causes the first rotatable part to rotate to the selected angular position.

Electronic timepiece

A drive device includes a plurality of motors; and a motor control processing unit that drives the motors. When the motor control processing unit drives the plurality of motors, it performs control such that a driving speed of one motor of the plurality of motors decreases and driving of the other motor of the plurality of motors starts.

Drive device, electronic watch, and control method of drive device

A drive device includes a first hand, a second hand, and a control unit that controls a movement operation of the second hand. The control unit starts movement of the second hand in a period after start of movement of the first hand before stop of the movement of the first hand. The control unit controls the movement operation of the second hand according to a decrease in a movement speed of the first hand.

Disclosed is an analog electronic timepiece including a first pointer which rotates freely with respect to a dial, a driving control unit which controls rotation of the first pointer, and an operation unit which receives an input operation performed by a user. In the analog electronic timepiece, the driving control unit includes an intermittent fast forwarding unit which performs a fast forwarding operation with temporary stops, where the rotation of the first pointer is stopped for a predetermined time period every time the first pointer is rotated by being fast forward for a predetermined number of steps according to a predetermined starting operation performed on the operation unit, the predetermined number of steps being 2 or more steps.

Analog electronic timepiece with fast-setting hands

A position measurement apparatus comprises at receiving unit, control unit, and detection unit that detect the motion of device, the position of device, or wearing situation of device, and the timing of receiving information by the receiving unit is controlled by the control unit in accordance with the detection results by the detection unit.
