Abstract:
1. A movement assembly for controlling at least one display indicator of a first mechanical display assembly that displays informational indicia related to at least a first mode and at least one display indicator of a second mechanical display assembly that displays informational indicia related to at least a second mode in a wearable electronic device, wherein the at least one display indicator of the first mechanical display assembly conveys information indicative of the at least first mode and the at least one display indicator of the second mechanical display assembly conveys information indicative of the at least second mode, wherein the at least first mode is different from the at least second mode, and wherein the movement assembly is adapted for individually receiving both the first mechanical display assembly and the second mechanical display assembly, wherein the movement assembly comprises: a module within which is disposed a subassembly comprising at least one actuation mechanism and one or more gears rotatably engaged with the actuation mechanism, wherein actuation of the actuation mechanism causes the rotation of the one or more gears; a controller whose functionality automatically changes based on the mechanical display assembly coupled thereto, operatively coupled to the actuation mechanism, for controlling the actuation of the actuation mechanism; and means for changing the functionality of the controller based on the one of the first and second mechanical display assemblies for operative coupling to the one or more gears in the module; wherein the first display assembly and the second display assembly are not simultaneously coupled to the movement assembly; wherein the display functionality of the wearable electronic device is changeable based on the mechanical display assembly operatively coupled to the one or more gears in the module and wherein the module and subassembly can be used to provide differing display functionality based on the mechanical display assembly coupled thereto.
