Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electronic timepiece, of the wristwatch type, for providing information related to an event comprising a plurality of planned events, such as the Olympic Games, the World Cup soccer , or holidays in the world.
  • the telescope 102 is divided into 12 parts, in each of which there is an indication of one of the months.
  • the indication of the month of January is placed between 11 and 12 hours
  • the indication of the month of February is placed between 10 and 11 hours
  • the additional needle 110 is driven by the clock movement of the watch so as to perform a dial revolution 104 in one year through 52 positions, which corresponds to about a shift of one step per week.
  • the 17 dates corresponding to the 17 Grand Prix of the Formula 1 season of the year 1999 are represented, as well as the country in which the Grand Prix takes place.
  • the various indications concerning the countries are inscribed radially at the periphery of the dial 104 opposite dates, the indications relating to the dates being inscribed in boxes also represented at the periphery of the dial.
  • the additional hand 110 indicates the country and the date
  • the user can thus check if the date of the day corresponds with the indicated date and therefore know if the Grand Prix takes place the day in question, the Formula 1 Grand Prix always taking place on Sunday, the user can also check the day of the week.
  • the indication of the additional needle 110 to a week is just sufficient.
  • the box 101 of the watch comprises a ring 111 arranged at 3 o'clock, in particular for setting the time, and a push button 112 arranged at 2 o'clock, for the adjustment of the additional needle 110 to the correct date.
  • the additional needle provides first a temporal indication, which is in correspondence with inscriptions concerning for example the place of the event.
  • the position of the additional needle depends solely on the date, and more precisely, on the current week.
  • the additional needle can indicate only one inscription, for example a country, in a certain way. It therefore neither allows to indicate several simultaneous events, nor to indicate several indications of the same nature concerning an event in progress.
  • the additional hand indicates only the arrival of an event within a week.
  • the user is subsequently obliged to compare the date indicated by the additional hand with that of the current day to check the actual arrival of the event indicated. That being so, if the user wants to know the start time of the event indicated in order to be able to follow, for example, a live television broadcast, he must know the start time of the event in question. where he is. This requires knowing the start time of the event in the country where it takes place and the time difference between the location of the event and the location of the user. It is therefore not very easy to use this watch to obtain accurate information about the arrival of an event.
  • Such a watch can only be used for a Formula 1 season.
  • the dates change for each Grand Prix, and the order of the calendar can undergo some modifications, as well as the addition or the suppression of some Grand Prix.
  • the invention is therefore particularly intended to provide a timepiece that is capable of indicating a plurality of simultaneous events accurately.
  • the electronic timepiece according to the invention is remarkable in that it overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the present invention relates to an electronic timepiece according to claim 1.
  • the electronic timepiece is characterized in that said time base delivers a second time information independent of the time zones, and in that said plurality of events is scheduled according to this second time information.
  • the electronic timepiece is characterized in that it furthermore comprises means for receiving external signals for loading said data relating to the planning of said plurality of events from a specific site of an extensive computer network.
  • FIG. 2 represents a schematic diagram of an electronic timepiece according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the timepiece comprises in particular a time base 1 comprising in particular a crystal oscillator 2 and a frequency division chain associated with a time signal generator forming an assembly 3 for delivering first IH1 and second IH2 time information.
  • the first time information IH1 corresponds to the local time for the user of the timepiece.
  • the second time information IH2 is a universal time information such as GMT ("Greenwich Meridian Time”), or a time of the type "Internet Time”.
  • the first time information IH1 is provided to display means which may be a liquid crystal display 4 (LCD) and / or an analog display 5 by means of hands indicating the hours, minutes and possibly seconds.
  • display means which may be a liquid crystal display 4 (LCD) and / or an analog display 5 by means of hands indicating the hours, minutes and possibly seconds.
  • the timepiece also comprises a control circuit 6 including in particular a memory 7 capable of containing data relating to a plurality of scheduled events and comparison means 8 receiving as input the second time information IH2 compared to the data stored in memory .
  • the data relating to a plurality of scheduled events stored in memory 7 include for each event, the arrival time of this event in a universal time system, GMT or Internet Time, as well as the indications relating to this event.
  • the stored data can be preprogrammed in the memory 7, but preferably they are downloaded by means of a receiver 9 acoustic, or a conventional radio frequency or infra-red receiver, from a site of an extended computer network.
  • the data relating to a plurality of scheduled events are grouped together in the form of a downloadable file in the memory 7, this file being available on the partner site or sites linked to the plurality of events.
  • the comparison means 8 make it possible to compare the second time information item IH2 with the arrival time of each event stored in memory, and in the case of a match to activate indicator means 10 arranged in correspondence with indications / symbols 11 (D1 ... D6) placed on the dial of the timepiece. It is also possible to provide a warning to a user in case of correspondence to indicate the arrival of one or more events, by the activation by the comparison means 8 of warning means, formed for example by a piezoelectric crystal 12.
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B represent first and second variants according to a first embodiment of the invention, where the plurality of planned events relates to the different events played during an Olympiad grouped by disciplines.
  • the data relating to this plurality of events are either pre-programmed or downloaded into the memory of the timepiece.
  • the timepiece 21 comprises time indicator means comprising analog display means 22 and / or digital display means 23, for example of the LCD type ("Liquid Crystal Display”). ").
  • the dial 24 of the timepiece comprises in particular non-hourly symbols of the same nature relating to the plurality of events, these symbols being preferably arranged at the periphery of the dial 24. In this first embodiment these symbols represent the various sports disciplines of the Olympic Games.
  • the dial 24 also comprises indicator means 26 preferably fixed and annularly placed opposite the symbols representing the disciplines.
  • These indicator means may be for example LEDs or LEDs, represented in the form of white or black pellets. A white dot indicates that the corresponding LED is off or on, but a black dot indicates that the corresponding LED is on or off.
  • the dial 24 may furthermore comprise digital display means 27 capable of providing information such as the date and the time remaining before the beginning or the end of the plurality of scheduled events, this plurality of events being linked. between them, as part of a larger event such as the Olympic Games.
  • the timepiece is provided with an RF antenna and means for processing the signals received by this antenna, the additional digital display means 27 then being used to display the information obtained by radiofrequency transmission, such as for example the site (s) on which the event (s) take place, or the evolution of the score of the current event (s).
  • the indicator means 26 corresponding to the symbols 25 of the current disciplines are activated - black pellets - , regardless of the local time of the user's geographical position.
  • the data relating to the plurality of scheduled events stored in the memory include, as information, the arrival of each of the events as a function of a universal time, for example the Internet Time, and the piece of Horlogerie includes a time base to generate a universal time information of the same type as that used to define the arrival of events.
  • the comparison between the two pieces of information does not depend on the local time of the user's geographical position.
  • the timepiece 21 comprises digital time display means 23.
  • the dial 24 has, unlike the symbols of the first variant of FIG. non-hourly indications of the same nature, relating to the plurality of events. These indications 25 are preferably placed on the periphery of the dial 24. These indications represent in this example the different disciplines of the Olympic Games. We find otherwise the same elements, especially indicator means 26 preferably stationary and placed along a circle opposite indications representing the disciplines.
  • FIG. 4 represents a second embodiment according to the invention, where the plurality of planned events concerns the different countries participating in an international competition of the World Cup type. All matches of such a competition being known well in advance, it is planned either to pre-program or to download from a site of an extensive computer network, the information concerning all the matches, namely, the the universal schedule of each match, the names of the teams playing against each other and possibly other information such as the venue of the match. As for the matches after elimination of certain team, it is also planned to download, or introduce the result of previous matches to know the remaining matches to be played.
