Definitions
- the invention relates to an autonomous radio clock according to the preamble of claim 1.
- radio clock RC 2 Such a radio clock, which has established itself very quickly on the market, is described in the Goldschmiede newspaper issue 1/1988 page 148 ff., W. Ganter "Junghans radio clock RC 2".
- This radio clock periodically switches on its receiver at predetermined times in order to correct the current time display if necessary on the basis of time telegrams currently received and decoded by radio.
- the receiver is switched on when a battery is inserted or in operation when a reset transmitter call button is pressed, which at the same time moves the current time display to a reference position (there 00:00:00) and triggers a system reset of the processor , in which the time telegram decoding and the conversion of the time information into the control of the time display takes place.
- the receiver is switched off again and the time display is brought to the corresponding position corresponding to the actual instantaneous time in rapid traverse.
- the time display works with optoelectronic means, the electrical control of the corresponding optical segments or sectors takes place practically without delay. If, however, mechanical parts (such as the gear train for pointers or the drive mechanism for number-drop flaps) have to be moved for the transition from the reference position to the display position for the actual, current time, a finite period of time is required for this, but is automatically taken into account in a tracking control, so that in this case too, the time display means finally show the actual, correct time.
- Such an operating button which causes the processor reset when the receiver is switched on, could be disruptive, however, if it is operated unintentionally and the current register content in the processor is thereby deleted. Then a certain period of time passes until enough time telegrams for their examination for plausibility could be received and decoded, in order to then re-align the register content and the time display from it to the correct current time. This is particularly annoying when you are with your radio clock on the edge or outside the reception area of the time transmitter, so that undisturbed reception of time telegrams is not possible easily and perhaps only in a few hours (or in the upcoming night) until So there is no time display.
- an involuntary, ie unwanted, actuation of the reset button can occur due to the circumstances.
- the radio-controlled clock is designed as an alarm clock, that is to say when an alarm is triggered at a predeterminable point in time, it can happen that someone accidentally actuates the processor reset button, although he wanted to initiate an alarm tone repetition program via another switch. However, the alarm is canceled and the repetition program is not started if the processor responsible for its control has been (accidentally) reset with all of its control functions.
- the object of the invention is to maintain the tried-and-tested simple type of receiver activation (without having to change the battery, for example) in a radio-controlled clock of the generic type, and yet to avoid malfunctions resulting from involuntary incorrect operation.
- a switch which, as before, can be referred to as a transmitter call button, but its actuation does not cause a processor reset but only the - temporary - activation of the receiver.
- the display is expediently moved back to a defined reference position in order to make it clear that a new synchronization of this radio clock is imminent.
- the receiver is switched off again in order to reduce the power requirement of the radio clock and the time display device is again operated from the register (which has not been deleted and is kept clocked).
- the erroneous or playful actuation of the receiver switch does not lead to a long-term failure of the display of the still correct time in the event of poor radio reception conditions, and any time-dependent functions that have been entered, such as an alarm program, have not been deleted, so they are still available without new input requirements for the time-dependent Activation or for the undisturbed process after their activation.
- the periodic (e.g. hourly or daily) short-term receiver activation continues to take place in order to check the actual time display based on currently received time telegrams and to correct them if necessary.
- the conventional reset switch is expediently concealed, for example: recessed, built in, so that it cannot be operated accidentally and unintentionally. Required for actuation It is then an aid, such as a pencil tip, for deliberately bringing about a processor reset, for example if a complete restart of the radio clock appears desirable due to a trip to the reception area of another transmitter and a different time zone.
- the cycles are expediently counted in which the periodic processor-controlled temporary re-activation of the receiver occurred without leading to usable time information.
- the counting result is displayed, i.e. about hours when the receiver is switched on every hour or days when the receiver is switched on every day.
- This display is reset to the initial count value (zero) or completely deleted if time telegram decoding leads to usable time information: the mere fact that a display appears makes it recognizable that there are extraordinarily poor radio reception conditions, namely that there is no unplanned for a long time Checking the displayed time could take place. If and as long as the receiver is switched on - be it due to the periodic control from the processor time register, whether it is due to the actuation of the receiver switch or the reset switch - this fact is expediently made known to the user by the fact that the display ( regardless of the current display content) gives a striking signal, e.g. flashing.
- the user of the radio clock also receives confirmation that the manual operation on a switch has led to the receiver being switched on as desired and should (if there is sufficient reception) lead to checking and, if necessary, correcting the time display, then simultaneously resetting any count Balances for attempts to receive.
- the sketched radio clock 11 has a receiver 13 connected to an antenna 12 and tuned or tunable to a time transmitter frequency with a decoder 14 for the current time information 16 contained in the demodulated reception information 15.
- This decoded time information 16 is transferred to a register 17 for controlling a time display device 18, which (as indicated in the drawing) can be a pointer display or (not taken into account in the drawing) a digital (numerical) presentation of the current time information 16. In both cases, the presentation can take place via mechanically moving elements (pointers, drop-down flaps), or via corresponding segment or sector controls of electro-optical displays.
- a reset switch 19 can be provided, upon manual actuation of which a reset signal 20 is triggered, which switches on the receiving device (that is to say the receiver 13 and possibly the decoder 14) via a bistable circuit 21, which saves power, particularly in the case of a battery-operated one Radio clock 11 is normally turned off.
- a switch-off pulse 24 is generated which is the bistable circuit 21 resets to the initial state and thereby ends the previously output switch-on signal 25.
- receiver 13 has synchronized the phase position of an autonomously free-running time-keeping circuit 27, which now switches on the time information 16 currently input by receiver 13 for the continuous further presentation by means of time display device 18.
- the reset switch 19 is actuated again or periodically, for example when a full hour has been reached, which is decoded in the time register 17 and leads to the output of a switch-on pulse 28, the receiving device is switched on again for the predetermined time period T, if not before At the end of this time period T, a reception confirmation signal 23 for switching off the receiving device again appears.
- the reset signal 20 also leads to a system reset of the processor 29 in which the functions of the decoder 14 for supplying the time information 16 currently received by radio, the time register 17 for controlling the time display device 18 and a coincidence circuit 30 for time-dependent Triggering of further time-derived functions can be realized.
- These further functions can relate in particular to the activation of at least one appointment signal generator 31 when a time is reached which can be predetermined by means of a handle 32.
- this means that the information of the coincidence circuit 30 is also deleted and therefore no alarm that may be due can now be given, or that an alarm that has just been used can no longer run with its alarm program (such as a snooze wake-up function).
- the reset switch 19 - if it is not even completely dispensed with - is expediently built into the radio-controlled watch 11 designed as a wristwatch and / or as an alarm clock in such a way that it cannot be operated in error, for example due to a handling reflex Occurrence of a wake-up signal or due to an unintentional impact with a wristwatch.
- a receiver switch 33 is provided, the actuation of which - in the circuit example shown, via another OR input of the time circuit 22 - to trigger a receiver switch-on signal 25 without a simultaneous processor system reset.
- actuation of this switch 33 via a memory 35 and a changeover switch 36 causes a so-called display reset in such a way that the time display device 18 is moved into a defined, predetermined reference position, which can coincide with the reference position when a processor reset occurs and, for example, in the time display is 00:00:00.
- the function of the processor 29 is retained in a time-keeping manner; This means, for example, when the coincidence circuit 30 responds, a normal alarm program, which can be influenced by a cut-off switch 37, is triggered.
- the reset actuation of the time display device 18 triggered by actuation of the receiver switch 33 is canceled again, the display device 18 is driven again from the register 17 in a time-correct manner if either the receiver activation was successful and, in addition to the decoding, a time information 16 currently received by radio for Appearance of the confirmation signal 23 led; or if, after a predetermined period of time T, no reception information 15 could be decoded and the reception device is therefore first switched off again by the pulse 24 in order to save power.
- the receiver switch-on signal 25 caused by this, OR by the manually triggered switch-on signal 34, intermittently controls a control display 40 via an interrupter circuit 38 and a switching path 39, in addition to the display reset the time display device 18 to signal that a reception attempt is currently being made to update the time information 16.
- the intermittent control of the control display 40 is also canceled again and this (for example a digital liquid crystal display) is preferably switched off completely.
- the control display 40 is switched on again - and now not intermittently, but continuously - when a cycle counter 41 charged by the register switch-on pulse 28 counts up from its zero position because at least the first reception attempt automatically triggered by the switch-on signal 25 does not result in decodable reception information 15 led.
- the now statically presented number on the control display 40 thus indicates in the illustrated example how many (hourly) cycles have already passed since the time information 16 for the time display device 18 could be confirmed or corrected by reception information 15 the last time.
- the user of the radio clock 11 can trigger a further reception delay via the receiver switch 33, as described above.
- the cycle counter 41 is reset to its initial count position and the control display 40 is thus switched off via the switching path 39 as soon as a reception attempt has been successful, that is to say has resulted in decoded time information 16 and the output of the confirmation signal 23.
