Claims (38)

1 . A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

detecting that a location of the electronic device has changed from a first time zone to a second time zone; and

displaying on a display of the electronic device:

a first time for the first time zone using a first visual object; and

a second time for the second time zone using a second visual object.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first time zone is a home time zone and the second time zone is a local time zone.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first visual object displays a secondary time, and wherein the first time is displayed using the second visual object prior to the detecting.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying comprises:

altering the appearance of the first visual object from displaying the second time to displaying the first time; and

altering the appearance of the second visual object from displaying the first time to displaying the second time.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a first input to display the first time as a secondary time.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a second input to display the second time as a new local time.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first visual object is larger than the second visual object.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second visual object is larger than the first visual object.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a third time for a third time zone using a third visual object.

10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for:

detecting that a location of the electronic device has changed from a first time zone to a second time zone; and

displaying on a display of the electronic device:

a first time for the first time zone using a first visual object; and

a second time for the second time zone using a second visual object.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first time zone is a home time zone and the second time zone is a local time zone.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first visual object displays a secondary time, and wherein the first time is displayed using the second visual object prior to the detecting.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the displaying comprises:

altering the appearance of the first visual object from displaying the second time to displaying the first time; and

altering the appearance of the second visual object from displaying the first time to displaying the second time.

14 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising receiving a first input to display the first time as a secondary time.

15 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising receiving a second input to display the second time as a new local time.

16 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first visual object is larger than the second visual object.

17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the second visual object is larger than the first visual object.

18 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising displaying a third time for a third time zone using a third visual object.

19 . An electronic device comprising a processor, a display, and memory, the memory comprising computer executable instructions executed by the processor to:

detect that a location of the electronic device has changed from a first time zone to a second time zone; and

display on a display of the electronic device:

a first time for the first time zone using a first visual object; and

a second time for the second time zone using a second visual object.

20 . The electronic device of claim 19 , wherein the first and second visual objects are displayed by:

altering the appearance of the first visual object from displaying the second time to displaying the first time; and

altering the appearance of the second visual object from displaying the first time to displaying the second time.
