ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD PROVIDING IMPROVED MANAGEMENT OF MULTIPLE TIMES FROM MULTIPLE TIME ZONES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method on an electronic device that comprises an I/O apparatus, the method comprising:
- outputting a current time on a display of the I/O apparatus; and
responsive to a determination that the electronic device has been moved between a first time zone and a second time zone, outputting a query whether the current time should be changed from being a home current time prevalent in the first time zone to being a local current time prevalent in the second time zone.

Abstract
An improved electronic device and method provide an improved clock feature that includes a time zone management function which enables multiple times from multiple time zones to be managed by the user. Responsive to a detection that the electronic device has been moved from one time zone to another, a dialog is initiated wherein the user is queried whether a current time on the electronic device should be changed and whether multiple times should be output on the display.
