  • the presence of position sensors near the antenna affects the functioning of the latter.
  • radiation emanating from the antenna affects the operation of the sensors and their electronic control by coupling.
  • the combination of the two peripheral blocks constitutes therefore an operation a priori undesirable for the skilled person.
  • the present invention thus also has aim to provide a subset combining so optimal antenna and position sensors on a same support so that the operation respective of these is not disturbed.
  • the present invention relates to a sub-assembly intended to be mounted in a device portable allowing the reception and / or the transmission of broadcast messages as well as the selection of a predetermined information, this subset being characterized in that it comprises, arranged on the same insulating support, an antenna comprising an element radiant capable of picking up and / or emitting a field electromagnetic carrying said broadcast messages, and position sensors arranged to allow said selection of predetermined digital information.
  • the present invention further relates to a part timepieces including a subset as defined above.
  • An advantage of the present invention thus lies in that the antenna-sensor sub-assembly is independent of other components of the portable device in which it is capable of being mounted. In Consequently, the present invention allows a simplification of construction and, thereby, a greater flexibility during manufacturing. Through elsewhere, this advantage also affects the mounting and assembling the portable device in its whole.
  • Another advantage of the present invention lies in the fact that the combination of the two blocks devices reduces the size of the portable device in which this subset is likely to be fitted.
  • Yet another advantage of the present invention is that the arrangement of the antenna and position sensors according to the present invention allows remedy the mutual disturbances caused by the combination of the two peripheral blocks, and make thus optimal operation of the sub-assembly.

  • a micro transceiver 5 is connected to antenna 4 so that it receives or transmits messages using the latter and then transforms these messages in data perceivable by the bearer of the timepiece 1, for example, by emitting signals sound.
  • the timepiece 1 further comprises means for selecting and entering information predetermined, for example digital information, in particular to allow the composition of numbers of phone.
  • the timepiece 1 comprises position sensors 6.1 to 6.12 formed in angular sectors on timepiece 1, and electronic control means 7 of the sensors positions 6.1 to 6.12 arranged inside the housing 2.
  • the sensors of position 6.1 to 6.12 are advantageously placed on a bezel 20 of the timepiece 1. It will be noted, in furthermore, that the position sensors 6.1 to 6.12 are placed, without limitation, opposite the time indications of a classic time display. It should be noted that another possible variant may consist in positioning the position sensors 6.1 to 6.12 no not on the telescope but under a piece of glass of watchmaking.
  • the dial 9 comprises, by example, indications "1" to “9” and "0" respectively combined with the indications 1h to 9h and 10h from the classic time display, so that the user can dial a call by activating successively the corresponding position sensors 6.10 and 6.1 to 6.9.
  • the functioning of the means of selection and input of digital information will only not described in more detail here. A detailed explanation of the operation of such a device can indeed be found in patent application EP 0 715 233, in the name of the Applicant, already cited in the preamble.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a sub-assembly combining the antenna 4 and sensors position 6.1 to 6.12 according to the present invention.
  • the antenna 4 and the position sensors 6.1 to 6.12 are arranged on the same insulating support 30.
  • This insulating support 30 is preferably flexible in order to facilitate the assembly of antenna 4 and position sensors 6.1 to 6.12 in the timepiece. In this regard, it is suitable to use as an insulating support, a dielectric substrate polyimide about 100 ⁇ m thick.
  • the antenna 4 is preferably formed on one face (at the background in FIG. 2) of the insulating support 30. It includes a conductive element in printed circuit defining a radiating element 40 of the antenna 4. This element preferably consists of a deposit metal on the insulating support 30.
  • the conductive element 40 defines a dipole whose length is preferably about ⁇ / 2, where ⁇ is the working wavelength of the antenna, i.e. the wavelength of the electromagnetic signal used to send and / or receive broadcast messages.
  • the antenna 4 also comprises, at mid-length of the radiating element 40, a contact point 42 allowing to connect it to the micro transceiver 5. When mounting the antenna is directed outwards for a optimal efficiency.
  • the position sensors 6.1 to 6.12 are arranged on the opposite side (in the foreground in Figure 2) of the insulating support 30. During assembly, these sensors are thus directed towards the interior of the timepiece.
  • Connection lines 60.1 to 60.12 allowing connect the position sensors 6.1 to 6.12 are in additionally arranged on the insulating support 30 so as to link these to electronic control means 7.
  • a for this purpose, a contact pad 62 is arranged at a end of the insulating support 30.

  • FIG. 3 in the form of a simplified plan view of the part 1, the antenna-sensor sub-assembly of the Figure 2 in its mounting position.
  • the position sensors 6.1 to 6.12 are thus arranged so as to form a symmetrical arrangement around the radiating element 40, either on either side of the point contact 42 of the antenna 4. It can thus be seen on the Figures 2 and 3, that an axis of symmetry of the antenna 4 passes by the position sensor referenced 6.9.
  • position sensors 6.1 to 6.12 as presented in the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 is not in no way limitative. It is indeed possible to predict other arrangements of the antenna 4 and / or of the positions 6.1 to 6.12 for which a symmetry of the whole is also obtained. In particular, position sensors 6.1 to 6.12 shown in Figures 2 and 3 could be arranged so that the axis of symmetry of the antenna 4 passes between two sensors adjacent position.
  • Figure 4 is a simplified sectional view along a 9h-3h axis of the timepiece of Figure 1. This includes the housing 2, the micro transceiver 5 associated with the antenna 4, the control electronics 7 position sensors 6.1 to 6.12, the clockwork movement 8 and the power supply source 11.
  • the insulating support 30 of FIG. 2 carrying the antenna 4 and the position sensors 6.1 to 6.12 is wound in a peripheral region of the housing 2.
  • the position sensors 6.1 to 6.12 are also bent radially inward of the timepiece 1, as shown in the figure 4, so that they come to press on a inner surface 22 of the bezel 20 so as to optimize the sensitivity of these sensors.
  • an internal ring 40 is preferably arranged in the housing 2 of the timepiece of so that the insulating support 30 is sandwiched between the housing 2 and the inner ring 40. This ring internal 40 further ensures that the positions 6.1 to 6.12 press correctly on the surface inner 22 of the bezel 20 so that the sensor operation is optimized.
