<First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the size and scale of each part are appropriately different from the actual ones. The embodiments described below are preferred specific examples of the present invention. For this reason, the technically preferable various restrictions are attached | subjected to this embodiment. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to these forms unless otherwise specified in the following description.

  FIG. 1 is an overall view of a GPS including an electronic timepiece with a sensor (hereinafter simply referred to as “electronic timepiece”) W according to the present embodiment. The electronic timepiece W obtains location information and time information of the current location using radio waves that are examples of external signals.

  The electronic timepiece W is a wristwatch that receives radio waves (satellite signals) from the GPS satellite 8 and corrects the time measured by the internal clock. The electronic timepiece W displays time and the like on a surface (hereinafter referred to as “front surface”) opposite to a surface that contacts the arm (hereinafter referred to as “back surface”). The GPS satellite 8 is a navigation satellite that orbits a predetermined orbit in the sky above the earth. The GPS satellite 8 transmits a 1.57542 GHz radio wave (L1 wave) on which the navigation message is superimposed to the ground. In the following description, the 1.57542 GHz radio wave on which the navigation message is superimposed is referred to as a satellite signal. The satellite signal is a right-handed circularly polarized wave.

  Currently, there are about 31 GPS satellites 8 (only four are shown in FIG. 1). In order to make it possible to identify which GPS satellite 8 the satellite signal is transmitted from, each GPS satellite 8 uses a unique pattern of 1023 bits (1 ms period) called a C / A code (Coarse / Acquisition Code) in the satellite signal. Superimpose. Each bit is either +1 or -1. For this reason, the C / A code looks like a random pattern.

  The GPS satellite 8 is equipped with an atomic clock. The satellite signal includes extremely accurate GPS time information measured by an atomic clock. A slight time error of the atomic clock mounted on each GPS satellite 8 is measured by the control segment on the ground. The satellite signal also includes a time correction parameter for correcting the time error. The electronic timepiece W receives a satellite signal (radio wave) transmitted from one GPS satellite 8, and the accurate time (time information) obtained by using GPS time information and time correction parameters included therein. Is used as the internal time (the time measured by the internal clock).

The satellite signal includes orbit information indicating the position of the GPS satellite 8 on the orbit. The electronic timepiece W can perform positioning calculation using GPS time information and orbit information.
The positioning calculation is performed on the premise that a certain amount of error is included in the time measured by the internal clock of the electronic timepiece W. That is, in addition to the x, y, and z parameters for specifying the three-dimensional position of the electronic timepiece W, the time error becomes an unknown. For this reason, the electronic watch W generally receives satellite signals transmitted from four or more GPS satellites 8 and performs positioning calculation using GPS time information and orbit information included in the satellite signals.

The first display area 44 is an example of an area that can be designated by the first display hand 42. Each display area 43 and 44 is divided into a plurality of display units according to the rotation angle about the concentric shaft 40.

  The second display area 43 is provided with an area (43c) indicating the remaining battery level and areas (43a and 43b) indicating the operating state of the electronic timepiece W. The second display needle 41 indicates the remaining battery level by indicating an area indicating the remaining battery level. The second display hand 41 displays the operating state of the electronic timepiece W by indicating an area indicating the operating state of the electronic timepiece W.

The area where the “MEAS” character 43 b is located is adjacent to the first display area 44.

  The second display hand 41 alternatively displays the remaining battery level and the operating state of the electronic timepiece W by rotating around the concentric shaft 40 in the second display area 43.

  On the other hand, the first display hand 42 is rotated in the first display area 44 around the concentric axis 40, thereby displaying the current display mode (time display mode, altitude display mode, atmospheric pressure display mode, azimuth display mode, option display mode). Any one).

  Each display mode also indicates the type of measurement value (measurement value) in the display mode. For example, the time display mode indicates time or time as the type of measurement value, the altitude display mode indicates altitude as the type of measurement value, the atmospheric pressure display mode indicates atmospheric pressure as the type of measurement value, and the azimuth display mode is The azimuth is indicated as the type of measurement value, and the option display mode indicates biological information as the type of measurement value.

Second information (the remaining battery level and the operating state of the electronic timepiece W) is displayed.

  When the wireless function (the reception function of the radio wave including time information) cannot be used like when the user carrying the electronic watch W is on the aircraft, the user operates the button (for example, the button 13 and the button 15 are simultaneously pressed), and the second display hand 41 indicates an icon 43a indicating that the radio is stopped.

The first display area 44 includes an “TIME” area 44a, an “ALT” area 44b, an “BAR” area 44c, an “COM” area 44d, and an “OP” area 44e.
In the first display area 44, the first display needle 42 is a display unit for each display mode ("TIME" area, "ALT" area, "BAR" area, "COM" area, "OP" area). By selectively instructing 44a to 44e, the current display mode is displayed. Each of the “TIME” region 44 a, the “ALT” region 44 b, the “BAR” region 44 c, the “COM” region 44 d and the “OP” region 44 e has a central angle about the concentric axis 40 of 30 °. It is provided as a region.

Specifically, “TIME” (time), “ALT” (altitude), “BAR” (atmospheric pressure), “COM” (compass: azimuth), and “OP” (option) are displayed as the display units 44a to 44e. Has been.

The display mode displayed at the indicated position of the first display hand 42, that is, the display mode displayed in the first display area 44 can be switched by pressing the button 14. Each time the button 14 is pressed once, the control unit 106 changes the indication position of the first display hand 42 to the “TIME” area 44a, the “ALT” area 44b, the “BAR” area 44c, and the “COM” area. The area 44d is switched to the "OP" area 44e.
When the button 14 is pressed in a state where the first display hand 42 indicates the option display mode (“OP” mode), the control unit 106 reverses the first display hand 42 to make a “TIME” region 44a. Move to (time display mode area).

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, the second display hand 41 indicates the remaining battery level “F” (full), and the first display hand 42 indicates the time display mode.

  In the direction indicating 6 o'clock of the dial 4a of the 6 o'clock information display section 4, an information display section 5b for seeing through the date wheel 6 for displaying a calendar is formed. The information display unit 5b displays a date on a calendar that is an example of third information. Since the information display unit 5b is fixedly arranged on a straight line passing through the concentric shaft 40 and connecting the 12 o'clock side and the 6 o'clock side, a symmetrical design of the entire electronic timepiece W is realized.

  Here, an example of the operation of the control unit 106 will be described.

When detecting that the button 15 is pressed while the display mode is the altitude display mode, the control unit 106 outputs an operation start signal to the pressure sensor 101 to cause the pressure sensor 101 to start measuring the atmospheric pressure, and performs the second display. The drive unit 205 is controlled so that the needle 41 indicates the position indicating the character 43b of “MEAS”.
The pressure sensor 101 receives the operation start signal, starts measuring the atmospheric pressure, and then outputs the measurement result of the atmospheric pressure to the control unit 106 when the measurement of the atmospheric pressure is finished.
When the control unit 106 receives the measurement result of the atmospheric pressure, the control unit 106 refers to the table stored in the storage unit 105 and specifies the altitude corresponding to the measurement result of the atmospheric pressure. Subsequently, the control unit 106 controls the driving units 202 and 204 to display the measurement result of the altitude on the 2 o'clock information display unit 7 and the measurement display needle 11, and the second display hand 41 is a battery remaining amount meter. The drive unit 205 is controlled to indicate a position indicating 43c.
Regarding the display of the altitude, the control unit 106 displays the value of the digit of the 1000th place in the numerical value of the altitude of the measurement display hand 71, and the value of the digit of the 100th place in the numerical value of the altitude of the measurement display hand 72. The drive unit 204 is controlled so as to display, and the drive unit 202 is controlled so that the measurement display needle 11 displays a numerical value of a digit less than the 100th digit among the numerical values of the altitude.
When the altitude measurement result is a negative value, the control unit 106 controls the drive unit 203 to instruct the second hand 31 to indicate the sign “-” 34.

When the control unit 106 detects that the button 15 is pressed while the display mode is the azimuth display mode, the control unit 106 outputs an operation start signal to the magnetic sensor 102 to cause the magnetic sensor 102 to start measuring geomagnetism, and The drive unit 205 is controlled so that the 2 indicating hand 41 indicates the position indicating the character 43b of “MEAS”.
When receiving the operation start signal, the magnetic sensor 102 starts measuring the geomagnetism, and then outputs the geomagnetic measurement result to the control unit 106 when the geomagnetic measurement is finished.
Upon receiving the geomagnetism measurement result, the control unit 106 controls the drive unit 202 to display the geomagnetism measurement result (north direction) on the measurement display needle 11, and the second display needle 41 is the battery remaining amount meter. The drive unit 205 is controlled to indicate a position indicating 43c.

When the control unit 106 detects that the button 15 is pressed while the display mode is the atmospheric pressure display mode, the control unit 106 outputs an operation start signal to the pressure sensor 101 to cause the pressure sensor 101 to start measuring the atmospheric pressure, and The drive unit 205 is controlled so that the 2 indicating hand 41 indicates the position indicating the character 43b of “MEAS”.
The pressure sensor 101 receives the operation start signal, starts measuring the atmospheric pressure, and then outputs the measurement result of the atmospheric pressure to the control unit 106 when the measurement of the atmospheric pressure is finished.
Upon receiving the atmospheric pressure measurement result, the control unit 106 controls the drive units 202 and 204 to display the atmospheric pressure measurement result on the 2:00 information display unit 7 and the measurement display needle 11 and controls the drive unit 203. Then, in the atmospheric pressure trend meter 33, the second indicating needle 41 displays the location indicating the amount of change in the newly measured atmospheric pressure from the previously measured atmospheric pressure, and the second display needle 41 displays the battery remaining amount meter 43c. The drive unit 205 is controlled to indicate the position to be indicated.
Regarding the display of the atmospheric pressure, the control unit 106 displays the value of the hundreds digit in the numerical value of the atmospheric pressure by the measurement display needle 71, and the value of the hundreds digit in the numerical value of the atmospheric pressure by the measurement display needle 72. The drive unit 204 is controlled so as to display, and the drive unit 202 is controlled so that the measurement display needle 11 displays a numerical value of a digit less than the 100th digit among the numerical values of the altitude.
The control unit 106 may start the operation of the pressure sensor 101 periodically (for example, every 3 hours) without detecting the pressing of the button 15 under the atmospheric pressure display mode. When the pressure sensor 101 regularly measures the atmospheric pressure, the control unit 106 may control the driving unit 205 so that the second display needle 41 indicates the position indicating the character 43b of “MEAS”. The battery indicator 43c may be instructed without causing the second display hand 41 to instruct the character 43b of “MEAS”.

  Further, the control unit 106 controls the driving unit 201 to display the time on the hour hand 1 and the minute hand 2 regardless of the display mode.

  According to the electronic timepiece W according to the present embodiment described above, the 6 o'clock information display unit 4 displays the atmospheric pressure display mode with the first display hand 42, and the 10 o'clock information display unit 3 displays the atmospheric pressure change with the second hand 31. Even when the 2:00 information display unit 7 displays the atmospheric pressure with the measurement display hands 71 and 72, the time display unit 10 displays the time with the hour hand 1 and the minute hand 2 regardless of the display mode. For this reason, time can be displayed when displaying information (atmospheric pressure display mode, change in atmospheric pressure and atmospheric pressure) different from the time using the pointer. In addition, the atmospheric pressure display mode, the atmospheric pressure change, and the atmospheric pressure information such as the atmospheric pressure can be displayed with separate pointers, and the atmospheric pressure information can be easily viewed.

  The 6 o'clock information display unit 4 for displaying the display mode related to the display of the 10 o'clock information display unit 3 and the display of the 2 o'clock information display unit 7 is the second display unit in the time display unit 10 at 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock. And the third display unit. For this reason, the 10 o'clock information display unit 3, the 2 o'clock information display unit 7, and the 6 o'clock information display unit 4 are easily visible.

  In addition, when displaying altitude and atmospheric pressure, the measurement indicator hand 11 that is the longest of the hands of the electronic timepiece W displays the lower digit of the altitude and atmospheric pressure. The value of the lower digit can be conspicuous. In general, the numerical values of altitude and atmospheric pressure are more likely to fluctuate in the lower digits than in the upper digits. For this reason, the measurement indicator hand 11 that is the longest of the hands of the electronic timepiece W displays the value of the lower digit among the values of altitude and atmospheric pressure, so that the other hands are out of the values of altitude and atmospheric pressure. Compared to displaying the value of the lower digit, it is possible to display changes in elevation and atmospheric pressure conspicuously.

  In the present embodiment, the third information is displayed on a straight line passing through the concentric axis 40 and connecting the 12 o'clock side and the 6 o'clock side in an area that does not overlap with the second display area 43 and the first display area 44. As a display area, an information display section 5b for displaying the date wheel 6 of the calendar is fixedly arranged. For this reason, the symmetry of the design can be emphasized, and the stability of the design can be enhanced.

FIG. 9 shows the battery level meter 43c when the display of the battery level meter 43c is divided into four stages (“E”, “M1” (middle 1), “M2” (middle 2), and “F”). It is the figure which showed the example of the division | segmentation angle. Here, it is assumed that the relationship “M1” <“M2” holds for the remaining battery level. In both the example shown in FIG. 8 and the example shown in FIG. 9, the battery remaining amount meter 43c is a region having a central angle of 54 ° on the dial 4a.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, when the display of the battery remaining amount meter 43c is divided into four stages, the battery remaining amount meter 43c has “E” and “M1” at a central angle of 18 ° on the dial 4a. It is divided into “M2” and “F”.

At this time, it is desirable to move the second display needle 41 at every angle obtained by dividing 360 ° by 4n (n is a natural number less than 15). Hereinafter, this point will be described.
For example, when the second display hand 41 is configured to move at every angle obtained by dividing 360 ° by 4n, a driving mechanism that is used in many watches and moves the pointer at every angle obtained by dividing 360 ° by 60.

  The measurement of atmospheric pressure, altitude, direction, etc. may be frequently used depending on the situation of use scenes during mountain climbing or sailing (for example, use scenes in irregular weather conditions). For this reason, if the area next to the battery level meter 43c is the "MEAS" character 43b area, the indication position of the second indicator 41 is changed from the battery level meter 43c area to the "MEAS" letter 43b area. The number of drive steps of the drive unit (for example, step motor) 205 necessary for switching can be reduced. Therefore, power consumption can be reduced.
