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.

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.

An electronic commerce server (10) including a time adjustment information memory unit (10b), an irregular day information comparison circuit (43), and an irregular day notification circuit (44). The time adjustment information memory unit (10b) records information on time adjustment. The irregular day information comparison circuit (43) compares the transaction available period and the time adjustment information. The irregular day notification circuit (44) notifies the occurrence of a day on which time adjustment is performed. The electronic commerce server (10) checks whether there is a region where time adjustment is performed during the transaction available period. If a start-date or end data of Daylight Saving Time occurs, that day is checked by the irregular day information comparison circuit (43). The irregular day notification circuit (44) transmits the occurrence of a time adjustment day to the computer (1a) for the seller. The seller changes that transaction available period, and the buyer learns the fact that an irregular day, that is the start-date or end-date, occurs during the transaction available period and how much the transaction available period will differ from the current clock time.
