Description

Intelligent world clock

Technical Field

The invention relates to a device for displaying world time, and also relates to hotel, family decoration and family education equipment.

Background

The current social development has entered the information age, and telecommunication connections between countries and cities in the world are more and more frequent, but there is a time difference between "local times" (administrative district times uniformly executed by local administrative districts) around the world, and the time difference causes many troubles for the connection of people between different countries and cities in the world, so that a demand for a "device for displaying the time around the world" is raised.

The universal clock is suitable for the requirement for displaying the universal time, a plurality of universal clocks specially displaying the universal time appear on the market, but the current universal clocks have the problems of poor artistic sense, single function, low practical significance and incapability of tracking the summer time system of each country.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention aims to design a world clock which is suitable for enterprises, public institutions and families, has various artistic decorative effects and has various practical functions required by education and family life. The novel intelligent universal clock integrates the technology of automatically tracking the summer time system of each country in the published patent application of intelligent universal clock 2015103354680, so that the universal clock can automatically track the summer time system of each country.

The method adopted for realizing the purpose comprises the following steps:

selecting a panel made of transparent material with a certain thickness (3-8mm), making the land part of a world map on the front surface of the transparent panel, (directly printing on the transparent panel, or printing on the inner surface of an additional protective panel to avoid the friction damage of a printing layer), marking a time display city (a city which needs to display the local time of the city, generally a large city with political and economic meanings) on the map, and designing a time display window for displaying the local time near the center of each time display city; or, a controllable luminous mark (luminous tube, etc.) is set at the center of the time-displaying city, the time of each selected time-displaying city is displayed in turn by a public time display window, the city displaying the local time at present (namely, the time displayed by the public time display window is the local time of the city, hereinafter referred to as the selected city) is selected by a timing method or according to a temporary instruction, and the selected city is distinguished by a color different from other luminous marks or a different display mode; the ocean part (longitude and latitude lines if necessary) of the world map is drawn on the inner side of the transparent panel (directly printed on the transparent panel or other lining plates), and the thickness of the transparent panel is utilized to form the stereoscopic impression that the land is higher than the ocean.

In order to realize that the local time can automatically follow and execute summer time systems of various countries, a microcomputer (single chip microcomputer system) is arranged for the device, and software for tracking the summer time systems of various countries is edited in the microcomputer. The specific route and method of such software design may vary, and the following is a workable scenario:

(1) selecting a time display city as an origin city, and establishing origin city calendar clock software or matching the origin city with a calendar clock chip to establish a calendar clock of the origin city; therefore, a date display window capable of displaying the year, the month and the date is arranged on the clock face;

(2) calculating the basic time difference Di of each time display city time relative to the origin city time;

here, "basic time difference" is defined as: the basic time difference is the time difference of the administrative district time of a certain city relative to the administrative district time of the origin city, which is a fixed constant, under the condition of not considering the summer system;

(3) finding out the date and time of each apparent city entering the summer time system and exiting the summer time system each year;

(4) setting the summer time mark of each time-displaying city in a register or an electrically erasable memory EEPROM of a microcomputer system, programming a long-term timing program (the age limit of the long-term timing program is the effective service life of a world clock, for example, 20 years), setting the summer time mark of each city (1) when the city enters the summer time moment, resetting the corresponding summer time mark when the city exits the summer time moment, and certainly setting the summer time mark of the city without executing the summer time moment to be 0 forever;

(5) software is edited for calculating the local time of each display city (the correct administrative district time of the display city corrected by the summer system) and sending the local time to the time display window for display.

The invention solves the problem that the time displayed by the world clock tracks the summer time of each country, and the world clock screen can provide correct local time for displaying the time of the city. Meanwhile, the invention economically realizes the three-dimensional shape of the world clock, and the world clock is beautiful and elegant, so that the world clock becomes an industrial art article entering offices and families.

FIG. 1: a transparent panel surface view;

FIG. 2 is a drawing: a transparent panel inside view;

FIG. 3: a transparent panel overview;

FIG. 4 is a drawing: a process schematic block diagram of setting a summer time flag in a time display city;

FIG. 5: solving a program principle block diagram of the administrative district time considering the influence of the summer system;

the specific implementation mode is as follows:

the invention is further illustrated by the following examples:

the material of the transparent panel used in the examples was an acrylic sheet of 4mm thickness. The land plate is directly printed on the front surface of the panel by adopting a multi-layer silk-screen printing method (see figure 1), gold powder is firstly used for printing the land plate, silver powder is used for printing the peripheral parts except a map, red paint is used for printing characters to be highlighted, such as Chinese territory, state name and the like, and black paint is used for printing other characters. The warp and weft lines and light blue ocean are printed on the reverse side of the transparent glass (see figure 2), and figure 3 is an overall view after the printing on the reverse side is completed.

In principle, any city can be selected as the origin city, but the city in the administrative district where the user is located is selected as the origin city, which brings great convenience to the user.

Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing the programming principle of a timer program for a year in one of the time display cities, and such a program should be edited for each year in principle in each city.

The "time" here is the time unified to the time of Beijing, and for this reason, before editing the software, the date and time of entering the summer time system and exiting the summer time system of each display city should be clarified by investigation, and these date and time should be converted into the date and time of the time of Beijing.

Fig. 5 is a block diagram of a process for determining the local time (administrative district time) of each display city in consideration of the influence of the daylight savings system. Editing software for displaying the local time of each display city corrected by the summer time system in a time display window according to the principle of the figure: first, the basic time of the origin city (i.e., the calendar clock time of the origin city in the summer time system is not considered) is calculated from the basic time difference table and the origin city basic time (i.e., the calendar clock time of the origin city in the summer time system is not considered), the basic time of the origin city (i.e., T0o + Di) is calculated from the basic time of the origin city in the summer time system, and T0o is the time of the origin city in the summer time system (i.e., the beijing time in the embodiment), and then the time is corrected according to the summer time flag determined by the long-term timing program, i.e., the basic time of the origin city in all the summer time flag bits (i.e., Ti ═ Tio + 1) is added by 1 hour, and the city in which the summer time flag bit is 0 is not executed, and the correction is not performed (in the above calculation process, the calculated time exceeds the time of 24 hours, and the time should be subtracted by 24 hours. The city time after the timing processing is the local time of the city according with the actual time display, and the time is sent to the time display window for display.

In order to provide more services for users, a memory card for storing music (in the embodiment, an SD card) and a voice playing device (including a music playing module) are loaded in a microcomputer, software for playing music at regular time is programmed to realize automatic music playing, and a patent intelligent music playing technology (detailed in ZL01110191177.0) and an automatic broadcasting content updating technology (detailed in patent application No. 201510322399) matched with the enterprise are introduced, so that the intelligent world clock has the intelligent broadcasting functions of playing a set of picked-up and optimized music at regular time and can automatically update broadcasting contents every day.

The invention is provided with a voice recognition chip, relevant voice recognition software and a corresponding operation program are edited, or a voice recognition App is installed, so that man-machine voice interaction is realized: the voice command controls the world clock, for example, the user says "world clock, current Moscow's points", the clock answers the current Moscow's time; for the App world clock installed, the conversation content can be broadened to the rich content provided by the cloud network.

Various gold powder is generally used for directly printing land plates, and in order to improve the decorative effect of the world clock, the land plates of the map can be made of metal sheets plated with real gold or other opaque sheets, so that the world clock is glittering and noble.

In order to improve the art effect of the invention, a proper number of background light emitting tubes can be arranged at proper positions behind the continental plate, and the light emitted by the light emitting tubes is repeatedly reflected and transmitted by the surface of the transparent panel, so that the ocean part of the map can be illuminated to form ocean background light. In order to enhance the reflection effect, the opposite side of the transparent plate land plate (the opposite side of the transparent plate opposite to the land plate) can be coated with a reflective material, and if necessary, a light guide groove with a proper shape can be engraved at a proper position of the transparent plate. If the background light uses the multi-color tube and the electronic switch is used to control the background light luminous tube, and then a set of software for continuously changing the brightness and the color of the background light is edited, the continuous change of the color and the brightness of the whole background light can be realized, and the artistic effect of floating on the water surface by floating on the land can be formed.

In the mode of displaying time of each city by using a public time display, it can be considered that the luminous mark set at the central position of all the time-displaying cities is a luminous tube with a button switch, and the button switch can be pressed to select the corresponding city as the selected city by matching with appropriate software and hardware, and the luminous tube changes the color or changes the display mode (such as entering a flashing state from a static state) to indicate that the city is selected.

In the embodiment, the outer periphery of the world map is also adhered or brushed with opaque materials on the front surface of the transparent panel, so that the appearance is improved, and the processing traces of a rear cover, a circuit board and the like arranged behind the panel can be covered.
