Abstract

Eine autonome Funkuhr (11) mit Zeitabgleich-Prozessor (29) zur Kontrolle und gegebenenfalls Korrektur der momentanen Zeitanzeige auf Basis der über Funk empfangenen aktuellen Zeitinformation (15) soll mit verbesserten Möglichkeiten zur vorübergehenden Betriebsunterbrechung ausgestattet werden. Dafür ist vorgesehen, die Anzeigefunktion der Funkuhr (11) zu unterbrechen, ohne zugleich auch die übrigen Hilfs- und Betriebsfunktionen der Funkuhr (11) stillzusetzen, so daß nach Beendigung der Unterbrechung der normale Betrieb ohne Betriebsstörungen weiterläuft. Die Anzeige-Unterbrechung kann indirekt oder direkt erfolgen. Im ersten Falle wird der Reseteingang (33) des Zeitabgleich-­ Prozessors (29) angesteuert, um den Synchronisiervorgang auszulösen, wie er ansonsten nur zu Betriebsbeginn der Funkuhr (11) vorkommt. Im anderen Falle wird die Ansteuerung der Anzeige-Fortschalteinrichtung (22) elektrisch blockiert, um z.B. im Zuge der Montage eine definierte, gerade erreichte Stellung des Räderwerks (35) vorübergehend beizu­ behalten, etwa über die notwendige Zeitspanne zum Zeigersetzen. An autonomous radio clock (11) with time adjustment processor (29) for control and, if necessary, correction of the current time display on the basis the current time information (15) received via radio should also be used improved opportunities for temporary business interruption be equipped. The display function of the Interrupt radio clock (11) without also the other auxiliary and to stop operating functions of the radio clock (11), so that after Termination of interruption of normal operations without disruptions continues. The display interruption can be indirect or direct respectively. In the first case, the reset input (33) of the time adjustment Processor (29) controlled to trigger the synchronization process, as it otherwise only occurs at the start of operation of the radio clock (11). In the other case, the display advance device is activated (22) electrically blocked, e.g. a defined, temporarily reached position of the gear train (35) keep, for about the time required to set the pointer.
