Daylight saving time (DST), also daylight savings time or daylight time (United States) and summer time (United Kingdom, European Union, and others), is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that evening daylight lasts longer, while sacrificing normal sunrise times. Typically, regions that use daylight saving time adjust clocks forward one hour close to the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn. In effect, DST causes a lost hour of sleep in the spring and an extra hour of sleep in the autumn.
Electronic presentation of world time zones
An electronically generated simultaneous display of the local time within multiple time zones in the world is adjusted to accommodate local time arising from Daylight Saving Time. A preferred modified south polar projection of the Earth which schematically depicts the Northern Hemisphere is divided into geographical time zones. Each geographic time zone is associated with a time marker that points to an adjacent time scale. Either the geographical time zones or the time markers are adjusted in order to correctly display the ongoing time changes resulting from the continuous observation of Daylight Saving Time in time zones of the world. As further features, a user may adjust the display to present a hypothetical time and the corresponding times experienced in different time zones around the world. A user may have a specific time zone highlighted by invoking data, such as a city name, a telephone area code or an address book contact reference, which is associated with specific time zone. Conversely, highlighting a time zone may invoke a list of data associated with that time zone, e.g. city names, countries.

Clock Setup Over a Network
The present invention provides apparatuses and methods for updating a target device from a clock device through a network. The clock device obtains a time value from a clock source and sends the time value to a target device. A node within the network determines a time delay, adjusts the time value in accordance with the time delay, and sends the adjusted time value to the target device. The node may determine a time delay from an internal timer or from a measurement message when adjusting the time value. The clock device may send a subsequent time update message to the target device if the target device does not acknowledge reception of a time update. The clock device may also send a time update message to a target device when a status change of daylight savings time occurs and obtain a subsequent time value from a clock source.

Method of displaying world time with automatic correction of daylight saving time in a movement
A movement for automatically correcting daylight saving time (DST) comprises a time display unit for displaying time; a central processing unit (CPU) building with a DST calculating program for calculating correct time and displaying on the time display unit; and a time zone adjusting unit installed with 24 time zone segments; as one of the 24 time zone segments is selected. The CPU receives the time zone signals from the time zone adjusting unit and calculated a correct time based on the selected time zone segments and a DST of the selected time zone, and then control the time display unit to display the correct time. Therefore, a user may conveniently adjust the clock movement only once to quickly and automatically show a correct relative time including the DST for a desired time zone.

Timing and time information extraction in a radio controlled clock receiver
InactiveUS8300687B1Duration/width modulated pulse demodulationRadio-controlled time-piecesTime scheduleTime information
A novel and useful system and method for extracting timing, time and additional information from a broadcast received in a radio controlled clock (RCC) receiver. The RCC receiver extracts timing information represented by a known synchronization sequence that is used for acquisition and tracking purposes. The RCC receiver extracts time information as a merged 26-bit time information word linearly coded into 31 bits comprising the number of minutes (or hours) since the turn of the current century. A minute counter representing the 26 bits is converted into the date, hour, and minute. The RCC extracts additional information including the schedule for the next daylight saving time transition and for an imminent leap second. The communications protocol optionally employs error correcting codes to provide protection for data fields in the frame, which the RCC may use to enhance reception reliability in the presence of noise and interference.
