Indeed, if the electronic device spends an extended period of time under a tunnel or under a sleeve or if the user carrying the said device falls asleep so that the device detects a lack of movement, the energy saving mode can trigger without it being necessary. The functions are then deactivated and the user no longer has immediate access to this information and must reactivate the normal mode for this. This becomes a source of inconvenience to the user.

  • the electronic apparatus 100 may also include a light sensor 9 such as a photodiode or a solar cell.
  • the photodiode may, for example, allow the illumination of a backlight if the ambient light falls too much while the solar cell can recharge the battery and serve as a light sensor for switching on a backlight on the backlight.

  • the electronic device 100 also comprises means of action 13 such as pushers or tactile or other areas allowing the user to act on said electronic device 100 .
  • This electronic apparatus 100 may be a portable apparatus such as a watch or a portable navigation apparatus or a portable communication apparatus. In the following description, it will be taken as an example that the electronic apparatus 100 is a watch.
  • the magnetic sensor 11 and the light sensor 9 are used to determine the passage of the electronic device 100 in the different modes of operation.
  • a first so-called normal operating mode, called step a) or A), is a mode of operation in which the consumption of electrical energy is not limited and in which the information provided by the time base and / or the sensor 11 and / or the light sensor 9 are displayed via the means analog display 7a and the digital display means 7b.
  • the information provided by the time base 5 is displayed by the analog display means 7a and the information provided by the magnetic sensor 11 and / or the light sensor 9 is displayed by the digital display means 7b.
  • the electronic apparatus 100 is arranged to operate in different modes of standby operation. In order to activate the various modes of operation in standby, criteria must be fulfilled in all cases, a certain number of criteria are common to the different mode of operation in standby.
  • a first criterion is a criterion related to a temporal information. Indeed, for the microcontroller 1 to establish that the watch 100 is in a state indicating that a standby is possible, a time criterion is necessary. This criterion can be precise hourly information, an interval of time, the fact that a criterion is repeated in time or others.
  • a second criterion is a criterion related to a movement information. Indeed, this is an important criterion because if the microcontroller detects that said watch 100 moves, that is to say it is worn. However, if it is worn, a standby is not possible.
  • the electronic apparatus 100 is arranged so that the standby is activated by using a third criterion representative of a physical or temporal quantity so that if the three criteria are fulfilled, the standby mode of operation are activated.
  • the electronic apparatus is thus arranged to operate in two modes of standby operation, a short standby mode of operation and a long standby mode of operation.
  • the mode of operation in standby of short duration a diagram is visible at the figure 2 , is arranged to engage when the watch 100 is no longer worn for a period of a few hours.
  • this mode of short-time standby operation engages at night when the user no longer wears his watch 100.
  • criteria must be met. These criteria are intended to allow the microcontroller to know that the watch 100 is in a state in which it can be put on standby.
  • activation by the microcontroller 1 is done when three criteria are met, are met. These three criteria make it possible to reliably define that the watch 100 must be placed in a short-time standby mode.
  • a first criterion is tested.
  • the first criterion is linked to a time information. This criterion consists in respecting a first time interval. It will be understood that the watch 100 will consider that the first criterion is validated if, at a given moment, the measured time is included in said first interval. For example, a first interval chosen is the interval 22h to 0h. This means that each day, the microcontroller 1 compares the time information provided by the time base 3 to the first defined interval is the interval 22h to 0h. The time criterion will be validated when the current time will be in said first interval 22h - 0h. We choose such an interval example because we assume that the majority of users sleep during this interval. It is therefore a good time to get into a mode of operation that saves energy.
  • the microcontroller 1 tests the different criteria. If this first criterion is fulfilled, the following steps are performed otherwise this first criterion is tested again in step b).
  • a step, called step c), consists in testing the second criterion is linked to a movement or orientation information.
  • the magnetic sensor 11 with two or three axes is used. This magnetic sensor 11 is used to provide, at regular intervals, measurements representative of the orientation of the watch 100 and to compare them. If the microcontroller 1 detects that the orientation of the watch 100 at a time Ti is identical to the orientation of the watch 100 at a time Ti-1 stored in a memory element, it deduces that the watch 100 is not carried by the user. Now, by associating this result with the results of the first and second criteria, the microcontroller 1 deduces that the watch 100 is at a late moment of the night: between 22h and 0h, in a dark environment and that it moves not. Therefore, the probability that the watch 100 is placed, for example on the bedside table of the user, is high.
  • the orientation information of the watch 100 at the instant Ti is saved in a memory element and becomes the time Ti-1 for a subsequent measurement.
  • step d consists in testing the third criterion which is linked to a brightness information.
  • This criterion consists of a brightness information measured by the brightness sensor 9 and then compared to a first predetermined brightness threshold.
  • the microcontroller 1 considers that the watch 100 is in a dark environment. The brightness criterion is therefore fulfilled and the short standby mode of operation can be activated.
  • the microcontroller 1 deduces that the watch 100 is, between 22h and 0h, in a dark environment.
  • the first criterion, the second criterion and the third criterion can be tested one after the other.
  • the order of the tests may be that the first criterion is tested first, the second criterion tested in the second and the third criterion tested last. But it is conceivable that the first criterion is tested first and that the second criterion and the third criterion are tested simultaneously when the first criterion is fulfilled.
  • step e that is to say activate the change of operating mode of the watch 100 so that it changes from one mode said normal to a short standby mode of operation.
  • This mode of operation in short standby is characterized by the deactivation of digital display means 7b. This deactivation limits the power consumption by not using the digital display means 7b which consumes a large amount of energy.
  • This combination of three criteria has the advantage of avoiding a tripping of the mode of operation in short standby when the user works at night in a dark environment or when the user makes exceptionally a night trip.
  • the various values for the first time interval of the first criterion, the first brightness threshold value of the third criterion and the time interval between two orientation measurements are imposed, configured by the user.
  • the brightness threshold it is set by the manufacturer to 30 lux, this threshold can be adapted to environmental conditions.
  • the time interval of the first criterion it is fixed by the manufacturer at 22h - 0h. The user can modify it according to the desires and habits. Indeed, a person with schedules Offset will adjust the brightness threshold and time interval to accommodate these times.
  • this time interval can be set so that the measurements enabling the setting to standby mode of short duration consume the minimum energy. Indeed, performing brightness measurements or orientation measurements consumes electrical energy so that the power source 3 discharges. It is therefore necessary that these measures are not too frequent not to empty the power source unnecessarily 3.
  • this time interval is set to eight minutes. This eight-minute interval is chosen because it offers a good compromise of measurement frequency and electrical energy consumption. Indeed, if in the time interval of 22h to 0h that is to say in a two-hour interval, measurements are applied with a frequency of eight minutes, it is found that the magnetic sensor 11 and the microcontroller 1 will have to measure and process fifteen measures.
  • this eight minute interval has the advantage of not disturbing the measurements.
  • the motors driving the hour and minute hands are composed of magnetic elements so that a magnetic influence on the magnetic sensor 11 is present. Now, every eight minutes, the engine rotors of the hour and minute hands are in the same position. The influence of these rotors is therefore identical from one magnetic measurement to another. If the time interval had been shorter or longer than eight minutes, the motor rotors would have had a different influence which could have modified the magnetic measurements.
  • a step is provided f) in which a first event is tested and makes it possible to switch from the short-time standby mode of operation to the so-called normal operating mode.
  • the first event can be in the form of several solutions.
  • one solution is to return to normal operating mode when the user acts on the means of action 13.
  • a user action on a pusher informs the microcontroller 1 that the watch 100 is worn by the user or at least that it is used which requires the transition from a standby mode of operation to a normal operating mode.
  • a support on the means of action 13 implies a change of electrical state which causes the detection of this support by the microcontroller 1. The latter, in response, will make the watch 100 in a normal operation.
  • the microcontroller 1 then triggers the reactivation of the digital display means 7b which display again a time information.
  • one solution is to return to normal operation when an event occurs.
  • an event can be the comparison of a measured physical quantity with respect to a reference value of said physical quantity.
  • this physical quantity is linked to a watch event such as triggering a time alarm.
  • said event can be linked to one of the functions of the watch 100.
  • the user can set his watch 100 for an audible alarm to sound at 7:00. This activation of the audible alarm then causes activation by the microcontroller 1 of the normal operating mode. It is then understood that the measured physical quantity, which is temporal information, is compared with a third time value.
  • the physical quantity can be related to the sensors.
  • the audible alarm can be coupled to one of the sensors such as the brightness sensor 9 so that if the brightness reaches a value greater than one certain threshold, the watch 100 returns to normal operating mode.
  • the threshold used may be the brightness threshold used for the second criterion related to a brightness information. However, the normal operating mode will only activate if the brightness exceeds this threshold and not the other way around. It will be understood that the measured physical quantity of brightness is compared with a second brightness threshold
  • the microcontroller 1 when it receives a movement information from the magnetic sensor, considers that the normal operating mode must be activated and active.
  • one solution is to return to normal operating mode at a fixed time, that is to say when the time reaches a third time information.
  • This solution consists in programming, in the microcontroller 1, information representative of a moment composed of a time information, a minute information and a second information. The information provided by the time base 5 is compared to this representative information of a moment. Thus, as long as the information provided by the time base 5 does not correspond to the information representative of a moment, the watch 100 remains in a mode of operation in short standby. In the opposite case, the microcontroller 1 activates the transition from the short-time standby operation mode to the normal operating world by activating the digital display means 7b.

  • criteria must be completed. These criteria are intended to inform the microcontroller 1 that the watch 100 is in a situation in which it can be put on standby.
  • the activation by the microcontroller 1 is done when different criteria are met. These two criteria make it possible to reliably define that the watch 100 must be placed in a long standby mode. These criteria are to ensure that the tests allowing the long-term operation is done at regular intervals. Indeed, the long standby mode of operation is set to activate when, during a predefined period, the conditions indicating that a long-time standby is possible, are fulfilled.
  • the step, called step b), concerning the first criterion then consists of monitoring, checking the time information provided by the time base 5, for example the current time provided to the user. .

  • step d the step, called step d) is performed, in which a counter is incremented.
  • the incrementation of this counter means that between two instants allowing the first criterion to be validated, the watch has not changed position. Using the example previously described, this means that between a day 1 at 22h and a day 2 at 22h, the watch has not changed position. Thus, if between a day 2 at 22h and a day 3 at 22h, the watch has not changed position, the meter will increment again.
  • the third criterion between a time Ti and a time Ti-1 is not verified then the counter is reset so that the entire sequence is redone. Indeed, the fact that the third criterion is not filled indicates that the watch has changed position and therefore the user uses it. Setting to standby mode of long standby is not useful.
  • the value of the counter is, at each incrementation, compared with a first counter value, which may be predefined or entered by the user.
  • This criterion can be likened to a temporal criterion because the counter is incremented when between a time Ti and a time Ti-1, the microcontroller 1 finds that the position of the watch has not changed. This criterion is fulfilled when the absence of movement of the watch between a moment Ti and a moment Ti-1 is verified several times in succession.

For this, every night, at a fixed time, such as for example at 22h, the magnetic sensor 11 measures a motion information. If, for seven days, no significant difference in motion has been measured, then the long standby mode is activated.
