Title:
WRISTWATCH WITH RECEIVER FUNCTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/047501
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a wristwatch provided with a display unit with which the top and bottom of a display can be inverted when being observed, and vibration transferring units for cartilage conduction provided respectively in the vicinity of the distal end of the radius and in a part in contact with the distal end of the ulna when being worn. The wristwatch is provided with an operating portion which is located at the back of the hand when being worn. The orientation whereby the top and bottom of the display unit are in an upright condition is determined on the basis of an acceleration detected by an acceleration detecting unit, and a determination is performed on the basis of a mean value of gravitational acceleration to determine whether the wristwatch is being worn with the operating portion facing up or down. In conjunction with inversion of the top and bottom in the display unit, the vibration transferring unit for cartilage conduction that is in the vicinity of the distal end of the radius is selectively caused to vibrate. Alternatively, both vibration transferring units for cartilage conduction are caused to vibrate.
