Patent number: 11307537Abstract: A communication system (1) comprises a central (100) and a peripheral (200). The central (100) receives location information and time information from NTP servers (10) and a location server (30). The central (100) creates first offset information of the time measured by its own device and the time information received from the NTP servers (10). The central (100) acquires from map information a time difference corresponding to a location presented by the location information received from the location server (30). The central (100) creates first updated time information based on the time measured by its own device, first offset information, and time difference corresponding to the location presented by the location information received from location server (30) and transmits the first updated time information to the peripheral (200). The peripheral (200) changes the time displayed by its own device based on the received first updated time information.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2016Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Iwamiya, Sadao Nagashima, Satomi Michitsuta, Makoto Nakagawa, Toyokazu Nishio

Patent number: 7314450Abstract: The wearable heartbeat measuring device is accomplished by wearing a wrist-watch-like heart monitor device on the wrist. The heart monitor is worn on the top of the wrist with a strap around the wrist. The strap has an inflexible extending portion that extends from the heart monitor at a predetermined angle and a predetermined width with respect to the wrist so that a predetermined space is maintained between the top portion of the wrist and the strap for promoting the transfer efficiency of the pulsation force that is initially experienced at a part of the strap at the bottom of the wrist. The strap also has a flexible portion. A predetermined angle and a predetermined width of the extended portion also facilitate the flexible portion to form a flat area where the wrist contacts the strap. In the prefer embodiments, the width of the strap exceeds the width of the wrist when it is worn.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2004Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Assignees: Casio Computer Co., Ltd., Otax Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Iwamiya, Mituru Kainuma, Kazuo Aoki, Kazuto Ushiyama
