  • the watch also includes at least two analog display elements and digital display means, which are independently controlled by said control system.
  • the watch further comprises control means acting on said control system.
  • these watches have the disadvantage of having a very complex reading of information. Indeed, the LCD or screens of these watches display a multitude of information simultaneously so that this or these screens do not allow the user to know, intuitively, the function used. This then confuses the user in the use of the watch and in the choice of the function desired among the various functions proposed, and confusion in the reading of the various information displayed.
  • a watch comprising hands, an LCD screen and equipped with a touch watch crystal.
  • This watch is arranged to be able to perform several functions.
  • the hands are used to indicate time information by indications on the dial.
  • the user can choose one of the functions of the watch. For this, the user chooses the function by action of one of his fingers on the touch screen, the indications concerning the different functions available being located on the dial, the flange dial or the bezel.
  • a pressing on the ice at the indication of the desired function allows the selection of said function. This causes a movement of the hands to point the indication relative to said selected function.
  • the LCD displays the result associated with the selected function.
  • this watch or timepiece has the disadvantage of not allowing the simultaneous display of several different information. Indeed, it is not expected to be able to display information, such as temperature and at the same time pressure information. It is also not intended to simultaneously display different temperature information such as the average value, the instantaneous value or other information. Added to this is the fact of not allowing the display of hierarchical information that is to say, the function and the menu attached to said displayed information.
  • this timepiece also has the disadvantage of having only a limited number of functions. Indeed, the enumeration of the different functions is performed on the dial, the flange of the dial or the bezel of the timepiece. These elements have a limited surface and therefore the number of functions is therefore limited to this available surface on said elements.
  • the invention aims to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above by providing a watch whose display allows the user to have readable and intuitive knowledge of several information simultaneously.
  • the invention relates to a watch, cited above, characterized in that said watch is arranged in a first so-called normal operating mode, to provide the user with a time indication by at least the two elements analog display driven by the control system provided with the time base, and in that the watch is arranged in a second so-called special operating mode, to allow the user to select at least one of the functions by the means command, to display on the digital display means at least one value or a parameter associated with the at least one of the functions selected by the control means, and to move at least one of the analog display elements opposite the value or parameter associated with the selected function.
  • the watch is arranged in a second so-called special operating mode, to allow the user to select at least one of the functions by the control means, to display on the digital display means indications of the functions of the watch and at least one value or a parameter associated with the at least one of the functions selected by the control means, and for moving one of the analog display elements opposite the indication of the selected function and the other analog display element next to the value or parameter associated with the selected function.
  • the digital display means comprise several digital display sectors arranged on a dial or under a perforated or semi-transparent dial of said watch, each display sector being arranged in the second mode. of operation, to display an indication of one of the functions of said watch, or a value or a parameter associated with one of the selected functions.

  • An advantage of the present invention is to allow the user to view several information hierarchically, quickly and intuitively.
  • the combination of an analog display and a digital display makes it possible to use the flexibility of a digital display with the simplicity of information display thanks to the needles or the disks.
  • a watch with an analog display such as for example with hands, has the disadvantage of not allowing the display of a large number of different information because it would require too many needles and thus make the watch illegible.
  • a digital display makes it possible to display, sequentially, a lot of information, because the digital screens are completely flexible and therefore different scales can be used according to the desired function.
  • Another advantage is to allow to hierarchize the different information so that all the functions of the portable object are easy to access, readable and easily retrievable. Indeed, by prioritizing the different functions in different menus, it becomes easy for the user to find the desired function.
  • Another advantage of the watch according to the present invention is to improve its aesthetics. Indeed, it is possible to have LCD screens displaying information in a first color chosen on a background of a second color, for example identical to the color of the dial of said watch. For example, if the dial of the watch is black, the LCD or screens are arranged to have information visible in light color on a black background. This also makes it possible to hide as much as possible the presence of these LCD screens, the number of which can be high.
  • An advantage of this method is to allow the user to have a watch of simple appearance, but allowing the display of several information quickly and easily readable.
  • the two modes of operation allow on the one hand said watch to indicate the time in normal time as a conventional watch, but also on the other hand, in a second mode of operation, to use various functions .

  • this needle 54 can be used to allow the indication of a submenu [s-menu] or a function [fonc]. It will be understood by sub-menu, the distribution of the functions [fonc] of the same group in smaller group, each group having its own criteria. It is possible that the functions of the timepiece are classified into menus [menu] and sub-menus [s-menu] in order to allow a more complete hierarchy. There is therefore need three needles 51, 52, 53 to indicate the menu [menu], the submenu [s-menu] and function [dark] and a hand 54 to indicate the value [val] associated to the function. In this configuration, the principle of erasing or turning off unnecessary displays 41 can be used and can display new information while improving readability.
  • the timepiece is arranged to display, first, the various menus [menu].
  • the user selects a menu [menu] causing the display of submenus [s-menu] associated with said menu [menu] selected.
  • the displays 41 displaying information that is not the selected menu [menu] or submenu [s-menu] are cleared.
  • the display is changed so that this information about the selected menu [menu] and submenu [s-menu] is displayed on neighboring displays 41.
  • the [func] functions associated with the selected submenu [s-menu] are automatically displayed.
  • the user selects the desired [func] function causing the display to change.
  • This automatic modification consists in erasing the useless displays 41, that is to say the displays 41 displaying the functions [fonc] which are not chosen.
  • the display of the selected [func] function is transferred to a display 41 adjacent to that displaying the selected menu [menu] or that displaying the selected submenu [s-menu].
  • This modification of the display makes it possible to have free displays 41 for displaying the interval of values [val].
  • the last available needle 54 makes it possible to indicate to the user the value associated with the selected function.
  • this fourth hand 54 makes it possible to display additional information and thus makes it possible to increase the number of possible functions. Likewise, this fourth hand 54 makes it possible to display two functions [fonc] each having a value. For example, the watch 1 can display the instantaneous temperature of one color and the average temperature of another color so as to read the information distinctly.
  • the timepiece can be arranged to display at least two information of value [val] of two different functions [fonc].
  • the dial 7 comprises two displays 41 used to display a first function [func1] and a second function [fonc2].
  • the other displays 41 are then separated into two groups each forming an interval of value [val] each linked to a function [fonc].
  • Each of the needles 51, 52 is pointed at one of the displays 41 displaying a function [fonc].
  • the needles 53 and 54 are then each automatically pointed to a value of a value interval [val] to display the result related to the function [fonc].
  • the display of the indication of the hour and minutes is preserved.
  • the hands of hours 51 and minutes 52 are therefore used to indicate the hours and minutes.
  • the user can then select a function and the second hand 53 then moves automatically to indicate the measured value [val].
  • This value [val] is included in an interval of value [val] displayed by the displays 41.
  • the displays 41 which display the time circle in the first operating mode are deleted when the activation of the second operating mode to display the various functions [fonc]. Once a function is selected, the displays 41 then display the value interval [val].
  • the digital display means 4 comprises two sets of displays 41: a first series to display the hour turn and a second to display the value interval [val].
  • the timepiece can comprise more than 12 digital displays 41. It can therefore be expected that the timepiece comprises for example 16 displays 41, 12 of which serve as a time lapse and 4 others distributed over an inner circle at the turn of the hour.
  • the radius of the circle is equal to the radius of said hour hand 51. It will be understood that it is possible to have different displays 41 arranged in different circles. Each display circle has a radius equal to one of the rays of the hands.
  • the displays 41 may be arranged differently than in one hour. It is indeed possible that the displays 41 are arranged in the form of a circle but eccentric to the center of the dial.
  • the displays 41 are arranged in the form of an eccentric circle with respect to the center of the dial but that the hands 51, 52 and 53 are not arranged in the center of the dial but elsewhere.
  • the needles 51, 52 and 53 are arranged at the center of the circle formed by the displays 41, the radius of the display circle 41 being equal to the length of one of the needles 51, 52 and 53.
  • the time indication is stored in the memory.
  • the time indication is displayed again. This time indication is preferably updated automatically by the processor 31.
  • the background color of the displays may vary from one display to another and the various information may be represented by symbols and / or colors.
  • the activation of the control means 6 to switch from the first operating mode in the second mode of operation can change the language of the information on the displays 41.
