Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wristwatch, in particular an electronic wristwatch having a high-resolution display screen.
  • Wristwatches can be classified into two main families depending on the type of movement used.
  • Electronic watches most often regulated by a quartz, have the advantage of high precision and moderate cost thanks to industrial manufacturing techniques.
  • the time calculated by electronic watches is most often displayed digitally on a liquid crystal segment display, or sometimes by means of hands driven by a step-by-step motor whose operation is regulated by the quartz.
  • Liquid crystal segment displays have the disadvantage of limited contrast making reading the digital symbols formed by the segments uncomfortable, especially in low ambient light. Stepper motors generally cause the needles to move jerkily, judged not to be very quiet and not very representative of the continuous flow of time.
  • GB2425370 describes a table clock comprising a video screen for displaying a looped film with representations of humans. This solution is not suitable for a wristwatch.
  • US20050278757 describes a system for downloading watch faces displayed on a device.
  • US20030214885 describes a watch whose dial is replaced by a screen allowing the time to be represented in different ways. None of these solutions of the prior art makes it possible to display the movement of the watch. These solutions do not offer the curiosity of beautiful mechanical watches, and are intended for lovers of electronic watches.
  • WO2011000893 which comes under Art 54 (3) EPC, discloses a wristwatch comprising a microcontroller arranged to reproduce on an electronic display the simulation of a mechanical watch movement.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a wristwatch combining the advantages of watches with mechanical movements and those of electronic watches.
  • independent claim 13 defines a corresponding method of displaying information in an electronic watch.
  • dependent claims 14 and 15 define particular embodiments of this process.
  • This watch thus makes it possible to display a simulated mechanical movement as complex as desired while avoiding the costs of manufacturing a real, physical and tangible mechanical movement.
  • the precision of this watch can be as high as that of an electronic watch while offering the animations of a higher category mechanical watch.
  • the invention starts in particular from the observation that modern electronic displays allow sufficient realism to display a credible simulation of a complex mechanical movement; the necessary resolution would have been impossible to obtain a few years ago, or would have required power consumption incompatible with integration into a wristwatch.
  • the invention also starts from the observation that the computing power of current watchmaking microcontrollers (that is to say microcontrollers of size and consumption compatible with a watchmaking application) makes it possible to calculate and display in real time a realistic simulation. of a complex mechanical movement.
  • the simulated mechanical movement is advantageously displayed over the entire surface of the electronic display, which is mounted edge to edge against the internal face of the flange or the bezel. In this way, the simulated mechanical movement occupies the position and dimensions of an actual mechanical movement. Indicating members, for example needles, discs, cylinders etc. can be displayed on the display. Control means make it possible to modify the display and to select a mechanical movement from among several available movements. It is also possible to display a simulated dial, or a real dial, totally or partially covering the simulated mechanical movement.
  • the display is a display associated with a touch sensor, for example a display associated with a multi-touch or single-touch touch sensor.
  • a touch sensor for example a display associated with a multi-touch or single-touch touch sensor.
  • This increases the realism of the representation; the user can for example influence the position or displacement of a component of the movement by pressing or moving the representation of this component.
  • the watch comprises a crown outside the case and a representation of the virtual and simulated crown stem displayed on the screen opposite this crown.
  • the position of the crown stem is modified by the microcontroller of the watch when this microcontroller detects an actuation of the crown, so as to simulate a direct action of the crown on the simulated crown stem.
  • This crown can also be used for setting the time or for winding the simulated mechanical movement; this movement can for example stop after some time if it is not wound up by the physical crown.
  • the action of the physical push buttons on the movement can be simulated by displaying a simulated organ next to the push button, the position of which is modified when the push button is actuated, so as to simulate a direct action. on said member simulated by said push-button.
  • the wristwatch further comprises an accelerometer used for example to increase the realism of the representation, by making it dependent on the accelerations undergone by the watch.
  • the position of at least one element of the movement depends on an output signal from the accelerometer. It is so possible to simulate the displacement of an oscillating weight for winding the simulated movement according to the watch, to visualize the deformations of the hairspring or the displacements of a tourbillon or of the balance according to gravity, or to show the oscillations of the train gear or other components when the watch is shaken.
  • the microcontroller calculates the forces and the displacement undergone by these elements as a function of the measured acceleration, for example gravity or a shock, and displays these displacements or deformations.
  • At least some elements, for example the springs or the hairspring also have virtual rigidity and deform as a function of the measured accelerations or the displacements of other components of the simulated movement.
  • the acceleration can for example be measured along 3 axes. It is also possible to measure rotations along one or more axes with a gyroscope.
  • the rate of movement depends on the measured accelerations. For example, it is possible to take into account the effect of gravity and of shocks on the regulating member in order to affect the rate of this regulating member or the position of a tourbillon.
  • a simulated barrel can discharge if the accelerometer does not detect any acceleration to move the oscillating mass, and mechanical motion can slow down and then stop if discharged.
  • the time displayed by the displayed movement therefore preferably depends on the results of the simulation, taking into account the rigidity of the parts or the measured accelerations.
  • the time of the simulated movement is synchronized with the time determined by the quartz movement, in order to reset the simulated mechanical movement. This synchronization can be performed automatically, for example periodically or in the event of a variation. exceeding a predetermined threshold, and / or at the request of the user by an appropriate command.
  • One advantage of the present solution is that it makes it possible to simulate and display mechanical movements which would be impossible or very expensive to manufacture in practice. For example, it is possible to display virtual mechanical movements, simulated with a regulating organ oscillating at a much higher frequency than in a classical movement, and with organs which rotate much faster, producing a more interesting animation.
  • oscillating masses or balances are simulated with a very high density, and other moving parts with a density that is on the contrary lower than that permitted by ordinary materials.
  • barrel or hairspring springs can be simulated with much greater return stresses than in the prior art.
  • the simulation is however always a “realistic” simulation, calculated taking into account correct physical laws even if it is based on properties of non-existent materials.
  • the display does not reproduce a simple animated image or a video previously recorded and displayed in a loop, but a calculated simulation of the position of the elements displayed taking into account for example the shape and the simulated mass. of these elements and of the environment (for example buttons, acceleration, etc.). Each successive image is therefore calculated in real time by the microcontroller and generated dynamically taking into account external parameters. This increases the realism.
  • the display is preferably a display associated with a two-dimensional touch sensor making it possible to detect the movements of at least one finger in at least two different directions
  • the watch comprising a processing circuit specifically designed to interpret signals from the touch sensor, to select a screen from among several screens available as a function of these signals, and to display this screen over the whole of said display.
  • the processing circuit is specifically designed so as to cause scrolling of screens in order to permanently replace the map initially displayed by another screen, the direction and the direction of scrolling depending on the direction and direction of said displacement.
  • Each screen displayed can be associated with an application determining the animated image displayed.
  • the wristwatch also has the advantage of switching from one screen to another very simply, by simple horizontal or vertical movements of the finger on the crystal, taking into account the direction and direction of movement of the finger on the screen.
  • Scrolling from one screen to another can for example correspond to a change of watch mode.

  • the applications executed by the microcontroller can be updated for example through a wireless interface not shown, or a micro-USB type connector for example, in order to load other portions of codes making it possible to display other indications or the same indications in a different way.
  • the watch can also include several microcontrollers, for example a microcontroller to control the matrix display, another microcontroller to control the touch interface, and a general microcontroller to determine the indications to be displayed at each moment, according to the selected card. These different microcontrollers can also be grouped together differently.
  • the display 4 is preferably a display associated with a touch sensor, for example a display associated with a single touch or multitouch touch sensor.
  • multi-touch sensor is meant in the present application a touch sensor capable of detecting several simultaneous contact points, for example the simultaneous movements of several fingers on the touch surface. It is surprising to use a multitouch screen on the small surface of a wristwatch, despite all expectations this technology is however effective in entering complex commands more quickly than with a single touch screen.
