The phone will display an image of the sun lining up with a green circle as prayer time approaches; when the sun becomes in line with the circle, it’s time to pray. Unlike similar systems ours relies on imagery, rather than text and graphs to communicate prayer times.</p> <p> </p> <h3>Related Publications</h3> <p>Wyche, S.P., Caine, K.E., Davison, B.K., Patel, S.N., Arteaga, M., and Grinter, R.E.
