Fig. 2 is the block scheme of the present invention the 1st embodiment.Present embodiment provides the example of the electronic installation that the vibration alarming function is arranged, and it has the external switch that is used to import the alarm settings time, and it uses the vibration of ultrasonic vibration motor as notification means, and vibrating motor wherein is intermittently to drive.
At first the course of work in the block scheme of Fig. 2 is described with reference to accompanying drawing.Oscillatory circuit 201 outputs are as the signal of 32768 Hz frequencies of the reference signal of time measurement.The reference signal of oscillatory circuit 201 output is inputed to frequency dividing circuit 202, and it provides Time Calculation and as the basis of other measurement functions of stopwatch and timer.For example produce 1 Hz, 8 Hz, the frequency signal of 10Hz or the like.Time measuring circuit 203 calculates the frequency signal that produced by frequency dividing circuit 202 and generation and storage such as second, divide and the time time data.
Use input switch 205 with the time and divide and set time of fire alarming, and the time of fire alarming of this setting is stored in the time of fire alarming storage circuit 206, when the time of fire alarming of the setting in being stored in the time of fire alarming storage circuit was consistent with the time data in being stored in time measuring circuit 203, vibration informing control circuit 204 output vibration informing connection signals were given ultrasonic vibration motor control circuit 207.
Motor driven waveform storage circuit 208 stores the driving of the intermittent control shaking that is used for ultrasonic vibration motor 210 and the operation timing that stops to vibrate, when the vibration informing connection signal from vibration informing control circuit 204 is transfused to, at the 8 Hz synchronization timing places that produce with frequency dividing circuit 202, according to the drive pattern that is stored in the motor driven waveform storage circuit 208, ultrasonic vibration motor control circuit 207 is by 209 drivings of ultrasonic vibration motor drive circuit and stop ultrasonic vibration motor 210.Ultrasonic vibration motor 210 rotates continuously, and the motor drive circuit of ultrasonic vibration simultaneously 209 keeps driving to be connected.
The vibration mode of vibrating motor can be set arbitrarily, vibration regularly can with any Frequency Synchronization that is not 8 Hz.In addition, though the time data in being stored in time measuring circuit 203 is when being stored in the time of fire alarming data consistent of the setting in the time of fire alarming memory circuit 206, just when time of fire alarming meets in the present embodiment time, vibration informing control circuit 204 output vibration informing connection signals, not only when time of fire alarming meets, and become 0 in the excess time such as the timer countdown of timer effect (time): 0 (branch): 0 (second), when the time data become the correct time and under any situation when with input switch 205 execute key input operations, by output vibration informing connection signal, use the intermittent control shaking of ultrasonic vibration motor 210 that notice can be provided.
The vibrating motor that is used for vibration informing is not limited to the ultrasonic vibration motor, also can use electromagnetic motor.By above-mentioned operation, this electronic installation utilization intermittently drives the vibration informing of vibrating motor realization as notifying device.
Intermittent control shaking pattern and relation between the added stimulus levels of the user's who contacts with electronic installation body part are described now when vibrating motor vibrates.Fig. 3 shows when the vibrating motor continuous drive, vibration mode and obtain relation between stimulus levels.Fig. 4 show when vibrating motor be when off and on driving at 2: 1 with the on-off time ratio, the relation between vibration mode and the stimulus levels that obtained.When it is equivalent to rotate continuously, can drive the advantage below expecting to obtain from the intermittence of vibrating motor.
At first, even the motor driven waveform is an impulse form, the stimulus levels that is added to the vibration contact site does not decay immediately, but the reservation resemble the afterimage stimulates some times.Therefore, the similar continuously continued stimulus level that CD-ROM drive motor obtained can be similar to by the intermittent control shaking of motor.In addition, when CD-ROM drive motor continuously, because the contact site stands the vibration of constant rotational speed continuously, the contact site is got used to having stimulated gradually, and the stimulus levels that is received by the contact site decays gradually.On the other hand, when intermittently driving this motor, because the rotational speed of motor changes off and on, thereby obtain strong stimulation intermittently, the stimulus levels that is received by the contact site is kept above the stimulus levels that receives continuously.
Secondly, driving off and on of motor is being better than driving continuously aspect the consumption that suppresses energy.This tangible advantage has been to prolong the life-span of the such voltage source of the battery such as CD-ROM drive motor of the energy that limited quantity is provided.In addition, because when motor driven, the electric current that flows through power supply is up to tens mA, if motor drives continuously, the load that is added on the power supply will be very big.Therefore intermittently the advantage of the highly significant of CD-ROM drive motor is the load that has reduced to add to voltage source.Clear see that the significant advantage that intermittently drives vibrating motor is to keep stimulus levels that is obtained by vibration and the consumption that has reduced energy during CD-ROM drive motor from top.(2) the 2nd embodiment
Fig. 5 is the block scheme of the 2nd embodiment of the present invention.Present embodiment provides the example of the electronic installation with vibration alarming function, it has external switch in order to the input alarm settings time, and it uses the means of the vibration of ultrasonic vibration motor as notice, wherein vibrating motor drives off and on, and dutycycle wherein and resting period are variable.
The course of work of Fig. 5 block scheme is described at first with reference to the accompanying drawings.Oscillatory circuit 501 outputs are as the frequency signal of 32768 Hz of the reference signal of time measurement.The reference signal input frequency dividing circuit 502 of oscillatory circuit 501 output, it provides time counting and such as the benchmark of other measurement functions of stopwatch and timer.Time measuring circuit 503 calculates the frequency signal that is produced by frequency dividing circuit 502, and produce and store as second, divide, the time time data.
Use input switch 505 with the time and divide and set time of fire alarming, and the time of fire alarming of this setting of storage in time of fire alarming storage circuit 506.When the time of fire alarming of the setting in being stored in time of fire alarming storage circuit 506 was consistent with the time data in being stored in time measuring circuit 503, vibration informing control circuit 504 output vibration informing connection signals were given ultrasonic vibration motor control circuit 507.
Motor driven dutycycle memory circuit 508 storage is used for intermittently driving the driving on/off dutycycle that intermittently of ultrasonic vibration motor 510 drives, and the driving of motor driven cycle memory circuit 511 storage ultrasonic vibration motors 510 is simultaneously connected and its next intermittent control shaking cycle that drives between connecting.When from the input of the vibration informing connection signal of vibration informing control circuit 504, ultrasonic vibration motor control circuit 507 produces the vibrating motor drive pattern according to the drive cycle at intermittence that is stored in the on/off dutycycle of the drive waveforms in the motor driven dutycycle memory circuit 508 and is stored in the drive waveforms in the motor driven cycle memory circuit 511 in the synchronous timing of 8 Hz that produce with frequency dividing circuit 502.According to the vibrating motor drive pattern by ultrasonic vibration motor drive circuit 509, its driving and stop ultrasonic vibration motor 510.Ultrasonic vibration motor 510 rotates continuously, and the motor drive circuit of ultrasonic vibration simultaneously 509 keeps driving to be connected.
For the drive pattern of vibrating motor, at random prepared multiple on/off dutycycle and drive cycle at intermittence in advance, and the user can use input switch 505 freely to select them.In addition, synchronization timing is not limited to 8Hz, can carry out vibration with any Frequency Synchronization.
In addition, though the time data in being stored in time measuring circuit 503 is when being stored in the time of fire alarming memory circuit 506 the time of fire alarming data consistent of setting, promptly when present embodiment meets time of fire alarming, vibration informing control circuit 504 output vibration informing connection signals, by not only when meeting time of fire alarming, and become 0 in the surplus time such as the timer countdown of being used as the timer effect (time): 0 (branch): 0 (second), when the time data become the correct time, and be provided output vibration informing connection signal under any situation of notice when carrying out the keying input operations with input switch 505, use the intermittent control shaking of ultrasonic vibration motor 510 that notice can be provided.
Moreover the vibrating motor that is used for vibration informing is not limited to the ultrasonic vibration motor, can use electromagnetic motor.Above-mentioned operating process allows this electronic installation that provides intermittently to drive the electronic installation that the such notifying device of vibrating motor is finished vibration informing as utilizing, the on/off dutycycle of its discontinuous drive pattern and intermittently drive cycle can become as requested by the user.
The on/off dutycycle that to describe the intermittent control shaking pattern now and relation between the stimulus levels of the user's body part reception that contact with the electronic installation vibration.Fig. 6 show when vibrating motor be when intermittently driving at 2: 1 with the ratio of one turn-off time of turn-on time, the relation between vibration mode and resulting stimulus levels.Fig. 7 show when vibrating motor be when intermittently driving at 1: 2 with the ratio of turn-on time-turn-off time, the relation between vibration mode and resulting stimulus levels.
Change the ability that drives the on/off dutycycle following advantage is provided.
At first, the intensity of stimulation can be determined by the numerical value of the subregion of representing with oblique line among Fig. 6 and Fig. 7.If drive with constant drive cycle at intermittence, the ratio of turn-on time that then drives the on/off dutycycle is big more, stimulates just strong more.This that is to say to change and drives the intensity that the on/off dutycycle can be regulated vibration.The result that stronger stimulation may not provide.The difference of the sensation that vibration gives depends on the user and how to carry this electronic installation.Strong stimulation may be uncomfortable for some.Select to drive the on/off dutycycle by preparing multiple vibration in advance to allow the user,,, be fit to his or her oscillation intensity and depend on time and occasion just as in the present embodiment so that more comfortable vibration to be provided with different driving on/off dutycycles.
Secondly, change the ability that drives the on/off dutycycle and mean the ability that drives turn-on time that changes.The viewpoint of the energy consumption during the CD-ROM drive motor, it is long more to drive turn-on time, and the energy consumption during the CD-ROM drive motor is big more.Therefore, the driving of CD-ROM drive motor will be lacked as far as possible to reduce energy consumption turn-on time.Yet short driving may cause such risk turn-on time, promptly depend on time and occasion stimulation sensation too a little less than.Consider this point, worked out a scheme.Usually be provided with the driving on/off dutycycle that is fit to general carrier state, when vibration was difficult to feel, the user can select to drive the on/off dutycycle, thereby promptly made the intensity of vibration be fit to user oneself.This just makes that the user obtains being more suitable for carrying residing environment in device, helps to reduce power consumption simultaneously.As mentioned above, the ability of change vibrating motor driving on/off dutycycle allows the user to obtain more comfortable notice vibration and pays no attention to carrying the environment at this device place and reducing of the power consumption that helps this electronic installation.
Now will be with reference to Fig. 8, Fig. 9 and Figure 10 describe the intermittent control shaking pattern intermittence drive cycle and the stimulus levels of user's body part reception of contact with the electronic installation vibration between relation.Fig. 9 and Figure 10 show be respectively 2 times of motor driven waveforms having constant driving turn-on time among Fig. 8 and 4 times intermittence drive cycle and corresponding stimulus levels between relation.Changing intermittently, the ability of drive cycle has following advantage.
The intensity that stimulates of the numerical value of the subregion of representing with Fig. 8, Fig. 9 and Figure 10 bend definition at first.If be constant driving turn-on time of motor driven waveform, intermittently driving time is short more, and then the stimulation of unit interval is just strong more.This is a constant if be used as the cycle of the notice of vibration just, can be by changing the intensity that intermittence, drive cycle was regulated vibration.In addition, though when intermittently drive cycle is short, be similar to the level that stimulates with continued stimulus, intermittently drive cycle is long more, and it is just clear more to stimulate.Therefore stimulation more intermittently is provided.This just regulates gap between stimulation by changing drive cycle intermittently.The different sensation that vibration is given depends on the user and how to carry this belt means.More comfortable for some intermittent stimulations than continued stimulus.As in the present embodiment, prepare cycle of the multiple vibration mode with drive cycle at different intermittence allows the user to select to drive intermittently driving in advance so that more comfortable vibration to be provided, just be suitable for he or she oscillation intensity and depend on time and occasion.
The second, drive cycle extends a little by making intermittently.The interval that provides between stimulating allows the user to feel the number of drive pulses of calculating motor.This just allows the user with the motor driven umber of pulse of skin from output, and for example 1 output pulse means " one (1) ", and 2 output pulse meanings " two (2) " feel not to be the transmission of the information of inessential notice.Unlike using character and sound to transmit information, this just allows suitably to send information to vision and/or the sense of hearing has the people of obstacle, and is not hindered by the environmental factor such as neighbourhood noise and brightness.
The 3rd, change CD-ROM drive motor intermittence drive cycle ability mean the ability that drives turn-on time that changes.The viewpoint that consumes energy during the motor driven, it is long more to drive turn-on time, and the energy consumption during the motor driven is big more.Therefore by using short as far as possible driving CD-ROM drive motor turn-on time to reduce energy consumption.Yet short driving can cause such danger turn-on time, promptly depends on a little less than the stimulation too that time and occasion feel.Consider this point, worked out such scheme, the drive cycle at intermittence that is suitable for the motor driven of general carrier state is done general setting, when vibration is difficult to feel, the user can select the drive cycle at intermittence of CD-ROM drive motor, just select the intensity of vibration, therefore make it to be fit to he or he.This just allows the user to obtain to be more suitable for the notice vibration of the environment that device carries, and helps reducing of power consumption simultaneously.In addition, this allows to transmit information with the device of motor vibrations.
Figure 11 show with have different intermittence driving pulse and the drive waveforms of the driving pulse drive pattern at resulting intermittence of motor driven on/off dutycycle combination with the stimulus levels that is received at the user's body part that contacts with this electronic installation vibration between relation.By will having the different driving pulses that intermittence, drive cycle combined with motor driven on/off dutycycle in the vibrating motor driving off and on, any motor driven pattern of the motor driven pattern of the weak stimulation that strong stimulation that the vibration that the motor driven pattern of strengthening gradually as shown in figure 11 stimulation wherein and wherein having alternately provides produces and vibration produce can produce.Moreover by preparing like that many motor driven patterns in advance, so that the user can be according to his or her hobby or be fit to carry the environmental selection vibration at this device place, has the electronic installation that more comfortable notice is vibrated thereby can provide.(3) the 3rd embodiment
