1. A method on an electronic device comprising enabling the electronic device to output on a display a plurality of times comprising:
- a first time that is prevalent in a first time zone;
a second time that is prevalent in a second time zone, anda third time that is prevalent in a third time zone;
enabling the electronic device to detect being situated in a first time zone;
enabling the electronic device to output, responsive to the detection;
the first time as being a current time;
the second time as being a secondary time, andthe third time as being another secondary time;
enabling the electronic device to determine that the electronic device has been moved into the second time zone;
enabling the electronic device to output, responsive to the determining;
the second time as being the current time;
the first time as being a secondary time, andthe third time as being another secondary time;
enabling the electronic device to determine that the electronic device has been moved into the third time zone; and
enabling the electronic device to output, responsive to the determining;
the third time as being the current time, andthe first time and the second time as each being a secondary time.

13. A method on an electronic device comprising:
-
enabling the electronic device to detect being situated in a first time zone; enabling the electronic device to display, responsive to the detection; a first time prevalent in a first time zone as being a current time with use of a first visual object showing the first time; a second time prevalent in a second time zone as being a secondary time with use of a second visual object showing the second time; and a third time prevalent in a third time zone as being another secondary time with use of a third visual object; enabling the electronic device to determine that the electronic device has been moved into the second time zone; enabling the electronic device to display, responsive to the determining; the second time as being the current time by altering the time shown by the first visual object to correspond to the second time, and the first time and third times as each being a secondary time by altering the times shown by the second and third visual objects; enabling the electronic device to determine that the electronic device has been moved into the third time zone; and enabling the electronic device to display, responsive to the determination; the third time as being the current time by altering the time shown by the first visual object; the first time and the second time as each being a secondary time by altering the times shown by the second and third visual objects. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
