Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Uhr gemäß Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a watch according to the preamble of Claim 1.
Analog und digital anzeigende Uhren geben lediglich Zeit meßwerte wieder. Eine die Uhr ablesende Person muß sich aus diesem abstrakten Wert selbst eine Vorstellung von der Bedeutung dieser Uhrzeitanzeige erzeugen. Um den dazu erforderlichen Gedankenschritt zu vereinfachen, ist man vielfach dazu übergegangen, die die Zeitangaben betreffende Sprache den technischen Meßwerten anzupassen. Z. B. wird die Zeit bei der automatischen Telefon-Zeit ansage in einer quasi "digitalen" Sprechweise wiederge geben. Damit können viele Menschen, insbesonder Kinder und alte Menschen vergleichsweise wenig anfangen.Analog and digital displays only give time readings again. A person reading the clock must from this abstract value itself an idea of generate the meaning of this time display. To the to simplify the necessary thought step one often went over to the times adapt the language concerned to the technical measured values. For example, the time at the automatic phone time announcement in a quasi "digital" way of speaking give. With it many people, especially children and older people start comparatively little.
Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine besser verständliche Uhranzeige zu schaffen.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to create a more understandable clock display.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird eine Uhr mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 vorgeschlagen.To solve this task, a clock with the characteristics of claim 1 proposed.
Die Erfindung hat u. a. den Vorteil, daß es durch sie möglich wird, die Uhrzeit genau in der Form anzuzeigen, wie es der sprachlichen Gewohnheit der die Uhr benutzenden Personen entspricht. D. h. daß nicht nur die Anzeige in verschiedenen Sprachen möglich ist, sondern auch inner halb der jeweiligen Sprache regionalen Besonderheiten Rechnung getragen werden kann. So ist es im süddeutschen Sprachgebrauch z.B. üblich zu sagen "Es ist dreiviertel Zwei", während diese Zeitangabe im norddeutschen Sprach gebrauch mit "Viertel vor Zwei" wiedergegeben wird.The invention has u. a. the advantage of being through it it is possible to display the time exactly in the form as is the linguistic habit of those using the watch People. I.e. that not only the ad in different languages is possible, but also within regional peculiarities Can be taken into account. That's how it is in southern Germany Use of language e.g. Usual to say "It's three quarters Two ", while this time in the North German language use with "quarter to two" is reproduced.
Eine besonders rationelle Umsetzung der Zeitsignale, eine multifunktionelle Verwendbarkeit des Displays und der zugehörigen Steuerung sowie eine wirtschaftliche Herstell barkeit und Betreibbarkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Uhr ergeben sich einerseits aus den Unteransprüchen und andererseits aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispieles.A particularly efficient implementation of the time signals, a multifunctional usability of the display and the associated control as well as an economical manufacturing Availability and operability of the clock according to the invention arise on the one hand from the subclaims and on the other hand from the following description of a Embodiment.
Die Fig. 1 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel für die erfindungs gemäße Uhr, entsprechend den Ansprüchen 1-6. Hierbei ist die unabhängige Anzeigeeinheit (Display) 1 über eine Verbindung 2 mit der die folgenden Bauteile tragenden Platine 3 gekoppelt: Bedienungseinheit 4, Umsetzereinheit 5 Speicher 1 6, Speicher 2 7, Register 8, Bus-Transceiver 9, Decoder 10, Zähler 11, Quarz 12. Fig. 1 shows an embodiment for the fiction, contemporary clock, according to claims 1-6. Here, the independent display unit (display) 1 is coupled via a connection 2 to the circuit board 3 carrying the following components: operating unit 4 , converter unit 5 memory 1 6 , memory 2 7 , register 8 , bus transceiver 9 , decoder 10 , counter 11 , Quartz 12 .
Fig. 2 zeigt ein Funktionsmodell gemäß den Ansprüchen 1-6, wobei der jeweilige Pfeil bei jedem Bezugszeichen 13 die Kontrollfunktion, bei jedem Bezugszeichen 14 den Data- und bei dem Bezugszeichen 15 den Adress-Bus darstellt. Fig. 2 shows a functional model according to claims 1-6, wherein the respective arrow at each reference mark 13, the control function, at every reference numeral 14 the Data- and in which reference numeral 15 represents the address bus.
