An electronic schedule display apparatus character­ized by comprising a key input section (l7) for input­ting schedule data, the schedule data input by the key input section (l7) consisting of day data corresponding to date data, start time data, end time data, and con­tent data of a scheduled event, a schedule data storage section (l3) for storing the schedule data input by the key input section (l7), a matrix display device (2) consisting of a large number of optical matrix display elements arranged to correspond to a matrix table of days and times, one optical matrix display element of the matrix display device (2) corresponding to several minutes, and one hour being constituted by the display elements smaller in number than 60, and a schedule time display control section (ll-l5) for driving the display elements of the large number of optical matrix display elements of the matrix display device (2) between one corresponding to the start time data of the schedule data stored in the schedule data storage section (l3) and one corresponding to the end time data of the schedule data.

U A method of scheduling a meeting among terminal users who are provided with calendaring applications for storing and retrieving timed and dated events, consisting in presenting to a meeting scheduler with a prompting screen with blanks for keying in desired times and dates, and prospective attendees, and based on keying to this screen comparising with the prospective attendees' calendars of events. The result of the comparison is an option list which is presented to the scheduler for selecting an available meeting time. Based on a selection from the option list, a meeting notification screen is built for transmitting to the attendees.

An ophthalmic lens having an electronic system is described herein for monitoring the medical condition of the wearer using at least one sensor and at least one problem template. In a further embodiment, the problem template includes a pattern and/or a threshold. In at least one embodiment, the lens works in conjunction with a second lens and/or an external device to monitor for a medical condition or to perform a test protocol of the wearer. Examples of the at least one sensor include an eyelid position sensor system, an eye movement sensor system, a biosensor, a bioimpedance sensor, a temperature sensor, and a pulse oximeter.

A medication management system (100) comprises a portable device (10) attachable to a user (30) and a medication dispenser (20). The portable device comprises a lighting means (50) for providing a visual stimulus (55) to indicate an approaching medication intake moment or period. The medication dispenser (20) comprises active and/or passive means (40, 41) for providing a further visual stimulus (45) to draw the attention of the user. The visual stimulus and the further visual stimulus have a same predetermined color.

An improved electronic device and method provide an improved clock feature that includes a BEDTIME mode that is initiated by execution of a BEDTIME mode routine. The BEDTIME mode comprises a number of features that are conducive to sleep by performing operations that minimize distractions to a user, and all such operations are initiated by execution of the BEDTIME mode routine. The BEDTIME mode can be terminated, such as when an alarm time has been reached, thereby enabling any alarms that had been suspended, and therefore enabling the alarm clock function to output an alarm.

An electronic device includes a touch-screen display, a processor, a memory, and one or more modules stored in the memory. The one or more modules are adapted to be executed by the processor to enter into an alarm-on state from an alarm-off state in response to an alarm trigger condition. The one or more modules are adapted to display one or more contact areas on the touch-screen display in the alarm-on state. The one or more modules are adapted to change the locations of the one or more contact areas on the touch-screen display. The one or more modules are adapted to detect one or more contact actions on each of the one or more contact areas on the touch-screen display. The one or more modules are adapted to change the alarm-on state to the alarm-off state.

A wake-up system, comprises an illumination apparatus 2 which irradiated wake-up light L1, a control apparatus 3 which controls output of the wake-up light L1 irradiated from the illumination apparatus 2, and an interface apparatus 4 which is operated by a user to input at least a wake-up time, the illumination apparatus 2 comprises an output variation apparatus 24 which varies output of the wake-up light to be irradiated, and a color temperature variation apparatus 24 which varies color temperature of the wake-up light L1, and the control apparatus 3 comprises a light output control unit 31 which controls the output variation apparatus 24 so as to increase the output of the wake-up light L1 irradiated from the illumination apparatus 2 from an wake-up operation start time to the wake-up time, and a color temperature control unit 31 which controls the color temperature variation apparatus 24 such that color temperature of the wake-up light L1 in a time period from a first time to the wake-up time, the first time is a time passing a first predetermined time period from the wake-up operation start time becomes higher than color temperature of the wake-up light L1 in a time period from a second time to the first time, the second time is a time before a second predetermined time period shorter than the first predetermined time period from the first time.
