Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sealed portable object that can be in the air or in the water and comprising a sound generator.
  • the present invention relates to a diving watch comprising a sound generating device such as an electro-acoustic transducer.
  • the human being does not perceive the sounds in the same way according to whether he is in the air or under water.
  • Dive watches are known from Japanese patent documents JP 60-001588 and JP 07-333359 on behalf of Seiko and JP 57-101786 in the name of Casio.
  • the electronic watch described in the document JP 60-001588 is able to generate a time acoustic alarm and an acoustic depth alarm.
  • the audible signal frequency is the same for both alarms.
  • the characteristics of the alarm are different depending on whether it is the time alarm or the depth alarm.
  • the electronic watch described in the document JP 57-101786 includes a device that indicates the depth reached and generates an acoustic signal when this depth reaches a predetermined value.
  • the electronic watch described in the document JP 07-333359 comprises means which detect that the depth measurement has been established at a predetermined value. An acoustic alarm is then generated and a needle is actuated.
  • the sound perceived by the user is only very slightly attenuated by the perception filter in a wide frequency range between 1 and 10 kHz.
  • the sound transmission seems optimal at a frequency of the order of 800-1000Hz with an attenuation of the order of 40 dB.
  • the attenuation is greater than 60 dB.
  • the present invention therefore aims to provide a portable object such as a diving watch comprising a sound generating device that provides the user optimal perception of sound regardless of the environment in which the user is.
  • the present invention relates to a sealed portable object as defined in claim 1.
  • the present invention provides a portable object such as a diving watch that is able to alert its user optimally regardless of the environment in which the user is.
  • the frequency of the sound emitted when the user performs a scuba dive is chosen in order to ensure the user hearing comfort as satisfactory as possible. It is the same when the user is in the air.
  • the portable object comprises a manual switch operated by the user to indicate to a microprocessor that the watch is in the air, respectively under water.
  • the portable object comprises means for detecting the medium in which it is located and which provides a signal to indicate to a microprocessor that said portable object is in the air, respectively under water.
  • a detection means may be a humidity sensor or a pressure sensor which, depending on the measured pressure, indicates to the microprocessor that the portable object, for example the watch, is in the air, respectively under water.
  • the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea of providing a portable object such as a diving watch capable of emitting an alarm signal according to two different frequencies depending on whether the user is in the air, respectively Underwater, these two frequencies are chosen to ensure that, regardless of the environment in which the user is, it will be alerted optimally.
  • the watch according to the invention therefore makes it possible to considerably increase the security of its user.
  • the figure 1 is a graph that illustrates the differences in human acoustic perception in the air and underwater. This graph indicates, for a given frequency expressed in hertz and placed on the abscissa, the attenuation expressed in decibels and placed on the ordinate between the acoustic power emitted and the sound power perceived by its user.
  • Curve A illustrates the attenuation of sound as it propagates through the air. It is thus noted that in the air, the sound perceived by a human being is only very slightly attenuated in a wide frequency range of between 1 and 10 kHz. This is explained by the fact that the medium, in this case the air, in which the sound and the auditory apparatus of the human being spreads only weakly attenuate the sounds emitted.
  • the transmission of sound is optimal at a frequency of the order of 800-1000 Hz, with an attenuation of the order of 40 dB.
  • the figure 2 is a block diagram showing the various electronic circuits of the watch involved by the present invention.
  • the watch essentially comprises a microprocessor 1 with an input from which is connected either a manual switch 2 or a means of detecting the medium in which the watch is located, such as a pressure sensor 4.
  • a pressure sensor 4 a means of detecting the medium in which the watch is located.
  • the wearer of the watch actuates the manual switch 2 between two stable states to indicate to the microprocessor 1 of the watch that it is in the air, respectively under water.
  • the detection of the medium (air or water) in which the user is located is provided by the pressure sensor 4 which detects pressure variations related to the change of medium.
  • the actuation of the manual switch 2 or the pressure change detected by the pressure sensor 4 generates an electrical signal which is applied to the input of a state controller circuit 6.
  • This electrical signal will have either a high level or a low level depending on whether the manual switch 2 or the pressure sensor 4 indicate that the watch is in the air, respectively under water.
  • the state controller circuit 6 will apply a control signal to the input of a frequency selector circuit 8. the effect of this control signal, the frequency selector circuit 8 will select that of the two frequencies f 1 or f 2 available at the output of a frequency generating circuit 10 which is adapted to the medium, air or water, in which is located the user.
  • the selected frequency signal f 1 or f 2 is applied to an acoustic transducer 12 such as a piezoelectric element.
  • the present invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described, and that various modifications and simple variants can be envisaged by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention such as defined by the appended claims.
  • the amphibious toy may emit a melody that will be as easily noticeable by its user in the air as underwater.
  • a waterproof camera it can emit two different sounds depending on whether it is in the air or under water, for example to indicate to the user that the focus is achieved.
  • the depth gauge will indicate to the diver that he has reached the maximum diving threshold and will be able to perform another function in the air.
  • the beeper will alert a person who is on call as effectively regardless of the environment, air or water, in which the person is.
