DE202014103526U1 - GPS wristwatch with latitude and longitude indicators - Google Patents

Abstract

Watch with a global positioning system (GPS) receiver, with one or more motor movements, capable of automatically updating the current time, date, time zone and location.

Description

background

This invention relates to an analog clock having a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. The GPS is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is obtained from the United States Government and is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver. The watch may have other features and uses depending on your intended purpose.

This invention can obtain both the time as well as the current location information of a user from the GPS signal anywhere on the earth. The current location information of the user can be displayed on an LCD display panel on the clock. For a purely analog clock, this invention provides a means for indicating the current location of the user.

For a normal quartz analog clock with dial date indicator, the user must manually adjust the date display when he / she wants to set it. However, this invention also provides a method that allows the date dial to be quickly adjusted.

description

A Global Positioning System (GPS) wristwatch 10 includes a GPS receiver 1 and two motor transmissions 6 . 8th with motor drive 2 and 3 which allow the hands to indicate the latitude and longitude synchronizing with the GPS signals.

This is a GPS clock. With the built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, the user's time, date and current time zone location synchronizes with the GPS signal. The current location of the user can also be displayed with the hands of the clock. Daylight saving time (DST) also changes automatically according to the user's current time zone ( 1 ).

This watch is built with two 3-hand watch movement motors ( 2 ). The first one is used to drive the hour, minute and second installed in the center. The second motion motor is used to drive the date dial and a small pointer for various function indicators.

date disc

The date dial is installed directly on the shaft of the second motion motor, so that by driving the motor, the date display can be updated quickly. This procedure speeds up the set up time and also simplifies the mechanism, since in a normal analog clock, its date wheel is connected to the drive for hour drives, so that the date dial jumps only one step every 24 hours of the hour hand run. By this invention is the date disc 14 directly at the hourly wave 16 fixed and the date disc 14 will skip a step with only 1/31 hour of the hour hand. The date disc 14 also on the minute wave 12 be fixed, which makes the setting speed efficient and faster. The diagram below in ( 3 ) shows two types of date picker design.

. Die obere Ziffer von 0, 1, 2, 30 und 31 ist auf der zweiten Scheibe, die auf der Minutenwelle fixiert ist, ebenfalls mit einem Abstand von

aufgedruckt (4). Untenstehendes Diagramm zeigt eine Art einer solchen Anordnung mit Bezug auf untenstehendes Diagramm, annehmend dass das Datumsfenster 26 nun [10] zeigt, wenn die Minutenscheibe 20 einen vollen Kreis rotiert, wird das Datumsfenster nun [11] zeigen, wenn die Stundenscheibe 22 um einen Winkel von 30° rotiert, und wenn es einen weiteren Kreis rotiert, wird es [12] zeigen, wobei auf diese Weise die Ziffern 10 bis 19 gezeigt werden können. Wenn es nur um einen Winkel von

rotiert, wird es [01] zeigen, und wenn es nochmal

rotiert, wird es [02] zeigen, hier in 5, die Stundenwelle wird ein wenig von der zentralen horizontalen Linie des Fensters beabstandet sein (was etwa ein Winkel von

weg von der zentralen horizontalen Linie ist). Auf diese Weise kann [01] bis [09] angezeigt werden. Wenn es nur um

rotiert, kann auf dieselbe Weise [20] bis [29] gezeigt werden.On the other hand, this invention has two discs 20 . 22 one fixed on the hourly wave 18 and one on the minute wave 24 to show a date in two-digit format ( 12 ). For example, the lower digits (from 0 to 9) of the date on the first disc fixed on the hourly wave are printed, each digit separated by a distance of

, The upper digit of 0, 1, 2, 30 and 31 is also on the second disc, which is fixed on the minute shaft, also with a distance of

printed ( 4 ). The diagram below shows one kind of such arrangement with reference to the diagram below, assuming that the date window 26 now [10] shows when the minute disc 20 rotates a full circle, the date window will now show [11] when the hourglass 22 rotates through an angle of 30 °, and if it rotates another circle, it will show [12], in which way the digits 10 to 19 can be shown. If only at an angle of

rotates, it will show [01], and if it does

rotates, it will show [02], here in 5 The hourly wave will be spaced a little bit from the central horizontal line of the window (which is about an angle of

away from the central horizontal line). In this way, [01] to [09] can be displayed. If only for

rotated, can be shown in the same way [20] to [29].

rotiert, zeigt es [30] oder bei

zeigt es [31]. Mit dieser Anordnung kann das Datum in einem größeren Fenster angezeigt werden.If only for

rotates, shows it [30] or at

shows it [31]. With this arrangement, the date can be displayed in a larger window.

6 to 9 show two additional date disc arrangements.

Latitude and longitude indicators

With a world map with latitude and longitude on the clock display, like in 10 and 11 shown, the current location of the user can be visibly displayed on the map. As an example, when the user presses a button, the central large second hand temporarily stops the time display and then rotates to indicate the latitude of the current location of the user, and at the same time, the small display hand becomes at the 6 o'clock position to the longitude, as shown in the illustrations below.

As the diagram below shows, the large second pointer points to latitude 40W and the small pointer points to longitude W90 at the same time. Further, the current location of the user can be shown in the red circle marked on the map.

Claims (5)

Watch with a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, with one or more engine motions capable of automatically updating the current time, date, time zone and location. A timepiece according to claim 1, comprising two motor moving gears, the central second pointer of the first moving gear indicating the current latitude of the user and the small pointer of the second moving gear indicating the longitude. Clock where a date dial is installed directly on the hour or minute wave of the second mover, which can quickly update the date display. Clock in which the date is indicated by two dials, one fixed directly on the shaft of the hour and the other on the shaft of the minute of a clock-winder. A timepiece according to claim 1, including a world map on the dial and claim 2, which visualizes the user's current location.
