An electronic scale includes a weight sensor, a control unit connected to the weight sensor and a detection circuit connected to the control unit and to the weight sensor, the detection circuit being distinct from the control unit. The detection circuit is configured to periodically control a voltage supply to the weight sensor, to detect an increase in weight above a predetermined threshold and to send a weight measurement initiation command to the control unit. The control unit is then configured to wake up from a standby state and implement a weight measurement by issuing a command to supply voltage to the weight sensor and by performing a processing of the voltage across the weight sensor.

A device for collecting cardiovascular data relating to an individual user, comprising a control unit assembly with an electronic controller and a pneumatic unit, an arm band having an inflatable bladder and configured to surround the left arm of the individual, wherein the pneumatic unit has a pump and a pressure sensor, and is configured to inflate and deflate the inflatable bladder, so that the electronic controller can determine the arterial pressure of the user, the device further comprising an acoustic sensor being coupled to the external wall of the arm band and having a sensitive side such that in use configuration, the sensitive side is adjacent to the chest of the user, whereby at least a cardiovascular timing characteristic can be inferred from signals from the acoustic sensor and the pressure sensor. The device may also comprise a set of contact electrodes to provide additionally ECG functionality.

Interaction methods between a smartphone and a timepiece having two analog-type pointers, each of the pointers being controlled independently by a stepper motor, the timepiece and the smartphone being able to be in communication through a wireless remote short-range communication link, the calibration method comprising the steps of S1&#x2014;capturing image(s) of the watch with the smartphone, S2&#x2014;processing the image(s) to determine accurately the displayed angular positions of the pointers, S3&#x2014;send correction data from the smartphone to the watch, S4&#x2014;carry out, at the watch, an appropriate correction so that the pointers are caused to display the current absolute time, the absolute time set method comprising the steps of S11&#x2014;send absolute time reference from the smartphone to the watch, S12&#x2014;carry out, at the watch, an appropriate correction, to update the internal counters and positions of the pointers so that the pointers display the current absolute time.

Electronic scale including four feet, four strain gauges, an electronic control unit and a display, where the gauges are combined in pairs in first and second Wheatstone bridge type circuits, where a first intermediate-point of the bridge is selectively connected via a switch to an intermediate voltage source and where the first and second outputs of the amplifiers are summed by the electronic control unit in order to deduce therefrom a weight for an object present on the device, with indication for the user of off-center condition on the scale. Weighing method implemented in such a scale.
