Operational Range for Data:
OEM Specific
Release Date: July 1999
How the product handles dates:
Dates are stored using the 64-bit UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), which represents the amount of time in 100 nano-second increments since January 1, 1601.
Storage: Windows CE for the Auto PC stores a compressed year in the OEM Adaptation Layer, (OAL) which is controlled by an OEM. The date range is therefore hardware specific and is determined by the OEM. OEMs receive sample drivers from Microsoft that contain the default date range (1970-2069). This date range is only for the real-time clock and does not effect date ranges for Windows CE applications. Windows CE for the Auto PC takes and returns a 4-digit year except in the OAL layer that talks directly to the hardware. External interfaces for the operating system support 4-digit years.
Two-digit shortcut handling:
The product does not support user input of two-digit shortcuts.
Testing guidelines and recommendations:
- Should be able to manually set date to February 29, 2000.
- Date and time should automatically roll over from 11:59 pm February 28, 2000 to 12:00 am February 29, 2000.
- Date and time should automatically roll over from 11:59 pm December 30, 1999 to 12:00 am December 31, 1999.
- Date and time should automatically roll over from 11:59 pm December 31, 1999 to 12:00 am January 1, 2000.
- Items that are sorted in order by date should be in correct order. (Example: Receive a wireless message with the year set to 1999. Then receive another wireless message with the year set to 2000. The message received with the date of 2000 should be the first message in the list, since the messages application sorts in reverse chronological order.)
Date usage across the product:
Radio:
Not Applicable. No date information used.
CD Player:
Not Applicable. No date information used.
Directions:
Uses date from data disc to determine road closures for specific times of year. This information is contained on the data CD provided by the directions data publisher.
Address Book:
Not Applicable. Date information is displayed for Birthday and Anniversary, but are not editable. These dates are entered into the Address Book by sending contacts that contain this information using Infrared and a Hand-held or Palm-Sized PC.
Audio:
Not Applicable. No date information used.
Setup:
Uses "combo boxes" which allow the user to set the date. The selectable range for the year is from 1998 to 2069.
Messages:
Displays date and time that messages were received. Date and time are also read via Text-to-speech. Sorting in the main view is done via date, and is sorted in reverse chronological order.
Clock Screen:
Displays current time and date. Date is in fixed format of Day, MMM DD, YYYY.
Power Off Screen:
Displays current time and date. Date is always in fixed format of Day, MMM DD, YYYY. This is adjustable by our OEMs.
Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine:
Reads text that can include a year that is 2 or 4 digits. Text-to-speech makes no assumptions for 2-digit years, other than that the year 00 will be read as "Two-thousand". A year of 01 will be read as "One".
Speech Recognition (SR) engine:
Not Applicable. No date information used.
Shell:
Relies on system time, current time zone, and DST setting to determine if the time should be adjusted for DST.
Hardware Platform Specific:
SH3 and SH4 processor platforms use a 2-digit year and a base year of 1996, while the X86 processor platform uses a 2-digit year and a base year of 1970. | |
