The present invention is to provide a portable device, such as a wrist watch, which realizes, with a simple structure, improved waterproof property against water leak associated with a push-in operation. A wrist watch (portable device) includes an outer case (device outer housing), an operation member and a holding ring. The outer case includes a holding portion in which an annular bearing surface is formed. The operation member is made of a soft material having waterproof performance. The operation member includes an annular packing portion to be seated on the bearing surface and a push-in portion integrally connected to the bearing portion, to which the push-in operation is performed from the outside of the device outer housing.

An exemplary mechanical watch has a face including an indicator of current time and one or more indicators of physical activity of a wearer of the mechanical watch. The watch further includes a mainspring to store energy and transfer the energy to a balance wheel and gear train to measure the passage of time, a rotor to rotate about a pivot point in response to movements of a wrist of the wearer of the mechanical watch, a rotor gear coupled to the rotor, and an activity-tracking wheel coupled to one of the one or more indicators of physical activity. Movement of the rotor causes the rotor gear to translate the movement of the rotor into winding of the mainspring and into an indication of physical activity of a wearer of the mechanical watch by causing or controlling rotation of the activity-tracking wheel.

The invention provides a press key and an electronic device with the same. The press key consists of four parts, i.e. a press member, a return member, a push member and a waterproof ring, wherein the waterproof ring made of a flexible material is clamped between two round rings of the push member; the return member made of the flexible material is clamped between one end of the push member and one round ring; the shell body of the electronic device squeezes the waterproof ring; the waterproof ring closely clings to the shell body and the cylinder of the push member so as to prevent dust and water from entering the electronic device; meanwhile, when the external force is applied onto the press member, the end face of the return member squeezing the shell body of the electronic device is elastically deformed; the other end of the push member squeezes a press key membrane of the electronic device, so that the conductive function of the press key is achieved; once the external force applied on the press member disappears, the return member in the elastic deformation generates elastic force, causing the whole press key to return to the initial state. Therefore, the press key not only is simple in structure, but also causes the electronic device with the press key to have high dustproof and waterproof properties.

Representing activities on an electronic calendar, in one aspect, may include receiving a first amount of allocated time for a first type of activity having a duration but not scheduled for a time, receiving a second amount of allocated time for a second type of activity having a duration and a scheduled time, and displaying, in a single representation, a total amount of allocated time for both the first type of activity having a duration but not scheduled for a time and the second type of activity having a duration and a schedule time. Different types, quantities, and qualities of information relating to when the first type of activity and the second type of activity occur may be combined in the single representation.

A method for manufacturing a composite compensating balance spring is provided, the method including providing a first wafer made of a first material; providing at least one second wafer made of at least one second material having Young's modulus variations with temperature that are of opposite sign as those of the first material; joining the first wafer to the at least one second wafer to form a substrate; etching a pattern through the substrate to form a composite compensating balance spring including a first thickness of the first material and at least a second thickness of the at least one second material; and releasing the composite compensating balance spring from the substrate.

The invention discloses an electronic device and a casing thereof. The casing of the electronic device comprises: a casing and a button; at least one mounting hole is formed on the side wall of the casing; the button comprises: a button body and at least one convex A column, the convex column is arranged on one side of the button body, the convex column includes: a first shaft segment and a second shaft segment, the first shaft segment is connected with the button body, the second The shaft segment is connected to the side of the first shaft segment away from the key body, a first stepped surface is formed between the first shaft segment and the second shaft segment, and the first shaft segment is connected to the The installation holes are in interference fit, the second shaft segment protrudes into the casing through the installation holes, and the first step surface and the inner end face of the casing are arranged in abutment. Therefore, the electronic device has good sealing performance, and requires fewer parts during manufacture of the casing, the overall assembly is simple, and the manufacturing cost is low.

An electronic device is provided which includes a housing, a first plate, a second plate, and a side member, a touch screen display that includes a touch panel, the touch screen display located within the housing and exposed through at least a part of the first plate, a sensor within the housing and configured to detect an atmospheric pressure variation, a processor electrically connected with the touch screen display and the sensor, and a memory electrically connected to the processor, the memory stores instructions which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive a touch input caused by pressing a part of the touch screen display by using the touch screen display, monitor the atmospheric pressure variation using the sensor while receiving the touch input, and provide a changed and / or selected function of the touch screen display based on the monitored atmospheric pressure variation and the touch input.
