[0002] Time managers are used for time management. In daily life and study, they can display the current time, count down, and set alarms. However, setting the countdown or alarm is typically accomplished with buttons. Each button press increases or decreases the time by one unit, making this method cumbersome and resulting in a short button lifespan. Furthermore, as small devices, time managers are often placed on a bed or desk, making them vulnerable to being knocked over and dropped. This can cause the display to fall or lead to poor contact between the display and the circuit board, shortening their lifespan. Utility Model Content
