INTERNATIONAL TIME INDICATING SYSTEM

摘要

An international time indicating system is associated with a telephone, calculator, computer, software package, integrated circuit, real time clock or the like for automatically displaying a specific time and date of a called place upon entering the international access code, called country code, and called area code if necessary. A called time and date are calculated via time zone offsets stored in system memory by determining the difference in time between a time zone of a local place of a caller and a time zone of a called place. The offsets are defined with respect to a reference time zone. The difference in time is then offset in order to determine the called time. The system is also provided with a feature which calculates and displays the corresponding local time of the caller which is at the same moment as the entered time of day of a remote place to be called.
