  • Patent number: 11706839
    Abstract: A portable communication device cooperation system includes a slave portable communication device that can communicate with a master portable communication device. Each of a plurality of slave-side slots of a slave-side storage unit included in the slave portable communication device stores a slave application program transferred from a master-side slot disposed in the master portable communication device. The slave application program includes part of information of a master application program, and causes the slave portable communication device to operate by being executed by a slave-side control unit of the slave portable communication device. As a result, the portable communication device cooperation system, the master portable communication device, and the slave portable communication device exhibit an effect of enabling the slave portable communication device to be variously used.

  • Patent number: 11226593
    Abstract: An analog electronic watch includes watch's internal time, and controls rotation of a group of indicators based on the watch's internal time. A terminal appliance stops the rotation of the group of indicators, generates an image of the indicators and the dial plate with an imaging unit, detects current display positions of the group of indicators in identification areas as part of the image of the indicators and the dial plate, generates current display time information based on the current display positions, and generates display time correction information based on a difference between the current display time information and the watch's internal time information. The analog electronic watch corrects the display positions of the group of indicators based on the display time correction information. There are provided an analog electronic watch system and an analog electronic watch that can reduce a time required for display time correction.
