Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a portable object such as, in particular, a room timepieces, comprising means for activating an electronic function such as than a watch function.
  • the present invention also relates to a method of control of an electronic function of the aforementioned kind.
  • Numerous data entry devices in electronic means intended to process this data are already known. These devices can include, for example a keyboard formed by a plurality of keys, each of these keys being associated with an underlying sensitive range of a sensor which controls the input of data associated with the key in response to the affixing of a finger on this touch.
  • a keyboard of this kind is for example described in the patent application European EP-A-0 674 247 in the name of the Applicant in which it is associated with a watch to control various functions such as setting the time or starting and starting a stopwatch. When he equips a watch, such a keyboard advantageously makes it possible to replace the usual push buttons.
  • the keys of the keyboards incorporated in watches consist of touch sensors of different types, for example piezosensitive, photosensitive, resistive or even capacitive.
  • the sensitive range of each sensor can consist of a transparent electrode formed on the face interior of the ice.
  • keyboards touchscreen when fitted to portable objects small dimensions such as, in particular, a wristwatch, allow get rid of the push buttons with which watches are usually fitted. This allows, it will be easily understood, to significantly reduce manufacturing costs such watches, and to guarantee an excellent water resistance of the latter.
  • a watch comprising control means formed by an assembly touch sensors has several drawbacks, however.
  • One of these disadvantages is that the touch keys are very sensitive to to touch. It is sufficient for the user of the watch to inadvertently touch one of the keyboard keys so that immediately the character or the operation corresponding to this key is selected and activated by the electronic data processing circuit.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the problems and drawbacks above as well as to others by proposing a portable object comprising means making it possible in particular to select the electronic function sought without risk of being mistaken or inadvertently activating an electronic function not desired.
  • the present invention relates to a portable object such as, in particular, a timepiece, comprising means for controlling at least minus an electronic function such as a watch function, these means of command comprising at least one touch key for selecting the electronic function sought, an electronic data processing circuit identifying the touch key in play and deducing a character or an operation thus selected, characterized in that the control means include in addition to a strain gauge to confirm the selection of the function electronics sought and / or activate this electronic function, confirmation and / or the activation of said electronic function being carried out by application of a pressure on the portable object under the effect of which the strain gauge generates a control signal which will be applied to the electronic circuit for processing data, said portable object can also include means capable of beep to indicate to a user that the desired function is has been properly engaged.
  • the user places a finger on one of the keyboard touch sensors corresponding to the desired character or operation perform, he weighs simultaneously with his finger on the portable object. detecting applying pressure to the portable object, the strain gauge generates conventionally an electrical signal which will be applied to an electronic circuit of processing of data corresponding to the different functions of the portable object. This control circuit will then turn on the touch keys of the keyboard, identify that of the tactile keys brought into play by affixing the user's finger, and deduce the character or operation selected for one or other of the applications that he can manage.
  • This latter arrangement is particularly advantageous, in particular in the particular case where the user wishes to use the timing function. Having previously placed his finger on that of the tactile keys which will allow him to start the stopwatch, the user can watch the event carefully, for example sportsman, that he wants to time, then exert a pressure on the object portable to start counting at the right time, without leaving the event eyes.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for controlling at least minus an electronic function such as a watch function of a portable object of the genre described above, including the step of selecting the function electronics sought by applying a finger on the touch key associated with said function, characterized in that it further comprises the step which consists in exert mechanical stress on the portable object to confirm the selection of said electronic function sought and / or activate this function and, where appropriate, to produce an audible signal to indicate to a user that the desired function has has been properly engaged.
  • an electronic function such as a watch function of a portable object of the genre described above
  • the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea which consists in associate with first control means comprising a keypad touchscreen by which a user can select any of the electronic functions of a portable object such as, in particular, a watch, second control means comprising a strain gauge making it possible to confirm the selection of the electronic function sought and / or activate this last by applying mechanical pressure to the portable object.
  • first control means comprising a keypad touchscreen by which a user can select any of the electronic functions of a portable object such as, in particular, a watch
  • second control means comprising a strain gauge making it possible to confirm the selection of the electronic function sought and / or activate this last by applying mechanical pressure to the portable object.
  • Such a combination of means makes it possible to overcome the problems generally linked to the use of touch-sensitive keyboards for the introduction of data in electronic means of processing these data which are, in particular, the great sensitivity of the keys to the affixing of a finger, and the fact that the user is forced to look at which key he is pressing to ensure that the function sought has been properly selected.
  • the strain gauge realizes, in accordance with this invention, the function of a push button.
  • watches jointly comprising a keyboard with tactile keys and one or more push-buttons, the keypad allowing the user to select the function desired electronics, while the pushbuttons enable or disable to trigger said function.
  • This solution avoids some of the problems described above, but has the main disadvantage that the pushbuttons which the watch is equipped with are expensive to manufacture and affect the water resistance of the case of said watch.
  • the present invention is not not limited to such a timepiece and can easily be applied to any other portable object in which a keyboard with tactile keys is arranged for selection and activation of a plurality of electronic functions.
  • FIG. 1 is represented a timepiece according to the invention, generally designated by the reference general digital 1.
  • the timepiece 1 conventionally comprises a case provided with a middle part 4 and a bottom 6 which delimits the case 2 in its part lower.
  • the box 2 includes a bottom 6 which is separate middle part 4.
  • the housing 2 can be made, for example, of a plastic material according to well known injection techniques. The present invention is not limited however not the choice of such a material and the housing 2 can be made in all type of material adapted to the needs of the watch industry such as, in particular, steel.
  • the housing 2 is delimited by a glass 8 covering means 10 for displaying hourly or other information.
  • these display means 10 consist of a cell liquid crystal matrix display 12. So these are digital means data display.
  • means analog time display including an hour hand, a hand minutes and a seconds hand that would move over a dial formed by a liquid crystal display cell which can also display different types of information or data.
  • the hands can move over a conventional dial.
  • the symbols representing the characters or functions that can be selected by the wearers of the watch are then printed, engraved or transferred onto the glass, the bezel or watch face.
  • the housing 2 has at its upper periphery a bezel 14 which can ensure, if necessary, the fixing of the glass 8 to the housing 2.
  • the bezel 14 is fixed mounted on the housing 2 for example by gluing or by ultrasonic welding.
  • Another solution which will be examined below in connection with FIG. 2 consists in fix the bezel 14 on the housing 2 by screwing.
  • the timepiece 1 comprises means for controlling electronic functions such as a watch function.
  • these control means are formed by a plurality of touch sensors 16, in this case twenty-five, arranged according to a matrix defining five rows and five columns of ranges sensitive to touch which are generally square in shape. All sensitive areas 16 is supported by the glass 8 and extends over most of this glass 8. According to a variant, it is also possible to provide that part of the sensitive ranges touch sensors 16 is located on the bezel 14 of the housing 2 of the room watchmaking 1.
  • FIG 2 is a sectional view of the part timepiece 1 shown in Figure 1.
  • the middle part 4 of the timepiece 1 defines a central cavity in which takes place, conventionally, a electronic watch movement 18 carried by a printed circuit 20.
  • This electronic movement 18 comprises, inter alia, a time base circuit, a frequency divider circuit powered by the time base, a control circuit and data processing connected to the divider circuit and the display cell liquid crystal matrix 12 controlled by the control circuit.
  • the control and data processing circuit performs functions varied. It maintains in particular the oscillations of the crystal oscillator of the base circuit time, divides the frequency of the quartz, corrects the running of the watch and powers the if applicable, motors and liquid crystal displays. He commands also, in conjunction with the touch sensors 16 and a strain gauge 22 of which the description will follow, special functions such as the date, the chronograph, alarm, time zones, and corrects certain indications and set the time. It goes without saying that for the selection and switching on or off of the aforementioned electronic functions at by means of the tactile keys 16, an electronic circuit for processing the data distinct from the electronic movement 18 for controlling the progress of the part watchmaking 1 can be envisaged.
  • the control and data processing circuit is supplied with current by an accumulator 24 intended to be recharged after exhaustion.
  • the accumulator 24 is charged by induction.
  • a first coil constitutes the primary of the charger (not shown), while a second coil 26, placed in the charging circuit of the accumulator 24, constitutes the secondary of said charger.
  • the accumulator 24 equips a timepiece, we prefer to recharge it by induction rather than using contacts ohmic to connect it to the charger, this in order to avoid altering the tightness of the box 2 of timepiece 1. It will nevertheless be understood that the correct operation of the timepiece 1 according to the invention is guaranteed whatever the method of charging the accumulator 24 chosen. It will also be understood that the control and data processing circuit could be powered by a battery not rechargeable.
  • the middle part 4 of the timepiece 1 is fixedly mounted on the bottom 6 by means of screws 28.
  • the printed circuit is fixed on the middle part 4 by means of screws 30.
  • the bezel 14 is made integral with the middle 4 by screws 32.
  • the matrix display cell 12 is connected electrically to the printed circuit 20 by a flexible connector 34.
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged detail view of the section represented in FIG. 2 in which the sensitive areas of the tactile sensors 16.
  • the tactile sensors are of the capacitive type, their sensitive areas 16 being formed by transparent electrodes 36 deposited on the underside of the glass 8.
  • Each electrode 36 is electrically connected to the control circuit of the electronic clockwork movement 18 via a plurality of ranges contact 37 located on the periphery of the glass 8 and two connectors 38 each formed of a succession of vertical conductive and insulating strips, by example in elastomer, which carry the electrical contacts from the face bottom of the glass 8 on the upper face of the printed circuit 20 (see FIG. 5).
  • Those skilled in the art know how to form transparent electrodes on the surface a glass and how to connect a plurality of capacitive touch sensors to a electronic control unit located inside a watch case.
  • Each of the capacitive sensors is connected in parallel between ground and a input of the electronic data processing circuit.
  • the electronic circuit of data processing includes a series of voltage controlled oscillators, the frequency of each of these oscillators varying according to the total capacity present between its input and the ground. If the watch wearer's finger is not placed on the glass in front of a particular electrode, one of the armatures of the sensor corresponding capacitive is therefore not formed. In this case, the capacity total present between the input and the mass of the oscillator is equivalent to the capacity of the parasitic capacitor associated with this capacitive sensor. However, when the is placed on the glass opposite this electrode, the two armatures of the sensor correspondent are formed.
  • the total capacity between the input and the mass of the oscillator is now equivalent to the sum of the capacitance of the capacitive sensor and the capacity of the parasitic sensor. So the frequency of oscillation of each of the voltage controlled oscillators varies depending on presence or absence finger on the part of the glass which is opposite the electrode associated with this oscillator. This change in frequency is detected by the frequency detector associated with the voltage controlled oscillator.
  • the touch sensors 16 are associated with the gauge stress 22 mentioned above. It is thus possible, by means of tactile sensors 16, select an electronic function such as a watch function identified by a character transcribed on the glass 8 of the timepiece 1 or displayed by the cell display 12, then confirm this selection and activate or deactivate the function selected by exerting pressure on the case 2 of said timepiece 1.

  • a cavity 40 is provided in the bottom 6 of the box 2 of the watch 1 to receive, rigidly, the piezoelectric transducer 22.
  • This consists of an element made, for example, of a piezoelectric ceramic, and can have, so nonlimiting, a circular shape, its diameter typically being between ten and fifteen millimeters, and its thickness being of the order of a few tenths of millimeter.
  • the piezoelectric transducer 22 is bonded between two electrodes upper and lower metal (not shown), the lower electrode being rigidly connected to the bottom 6 of the housing 2 by any suitable means such as, for example, by collage.
  • the piezoelectric transducer 22 can be made by evaporation of a ceramic on the metal bottom of the box 2 of the timepiece 1.
  • the transducer 22 is formed by an element made of a piezoelectric ceramic evaporated on a metal chip which is itself glued to the bottom of the box. It is obvious that the piezoelectric transducer 22 could be rigidly fixed at another location that the bottom of the case 2, for example against the middle part 4.
  • the piezoelectric transducer 22 which equips the watch 1 according to the invention is used both as a sound generator for the watch alarm device 1, and as a means to activate or deactivate a electronic function such as a watch function by mechanical pressure on the case 2 of said watch 1. It goes without saying, however, that this transducer 22 can be used for the sole purpose of confirming the selection of the electronic function sought.
  • the other advantage of a piezoelectric sensor used as strain gauge in the context of the present invention resides in the fact that said piezoelectric sensor is capable of emitting a sound signal at the same time as the user presses the case of the timepiece, this audible signal indicating to user that the desired watch function has been triggered.

  • the electrical circuit 42 comprises a capacitor C 1 mounted between the coil L 1 and the transducer 22.
  • the electrical circuit 42 is completed by a passive filter 44 mounted in parallel at the terminals of the piezoelectric transducer 22.
  • This filter 44 is conventionally composed of a resistor R 1 and a capacitor C 2 .
  • the filter 40 serves to filter the high frequency signal present at the terminals of the transducer 22 when the latter operates as a sound generator at a frequency of the order of 1 kHz, and to prevent this signal from being propagates towards the amplification and conversion stages which will be described below.
