A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11959980B2) discloses a wearable device equipped with a magnetic sensor and a processor capable of performing magnetic sensor calibration. The device offers multiple function modes, including a first mode that triggers calibration when specific movement conditions are met and a second mode that does not require calibration. The processor determines the calibratable state based on user movement information sensed by a movement sensor, ensuring accurate calibration only when necessary.

Additionally, the wearable device includes features such as a tilt measurement unit and the ability to switch between function modes automatically or through user interaction. The device's first function mode typically displays time, while the second mode offers various additional functions like stopwatch, timer, and measurement modes. The patent also covers an electronic watch incorporating this innovative wearable device, highlighting its potential applications in the consumer electronics market.
