L'invention concerne une montre comportant au moins un tel dispositif.The invention relates to a watch comprising at least one such device.

L'invention concerne un ensemble portatif comportant une telle montre et un appareil de téléphonie mobile agencé pour fournir un signal ou une information de géolocalisation et/ou d'indication de l'hémisphère terrestre du lieu, et/ou de date à un tel dispositif que comporte ladite montre.The invention relates to a portable assembly comprising such a watch and a mobile telephone device arranged to provide a signal or information on geolocation and/or indication of the terrestrial hemisphere of the location, and/or date to such a device contained in said watch.

L'invention concerne le domaine des affichages de phase de lune pour montres.The invention relates to the field of moon phase displays for watches.

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

L'affichage des phases de lune sur une montre est une complication qui, quoiqu'ancienne et très prisée, fournit souvent un affichage très approximatif, conçu généralement pour des utilisateurs européens ou de régions proches du 45° parallèle nord. Les exécutions pour des utilisateurs de l'hémisphère sud, où l'apparence de la lune est inversée, sont spécifiques et de ce fait plus coûteuses, et des affichages polyvalents pour les deux hémisphères sont d'un coût prohibitif.The display of the moon phases on a watch is a complication which, although old and very popular, often provides a very approximate display, generally designed for European users or regions close to the 45° north parallel. Executions for users in the southern hemisphere, where the appearance of the moon is reversed, are specific and therefore more expensive, and general-purpose displays for both hemispheres are prohibitively expensive.

Les phases de lune apparaissent différemment dans l'hémisphère Nord, Sud ou à proximité de l'équateur.Moon phases appear differently in the northern hemisphere, southern hemisphere or near the equator.

La plupart des montres à affichage de lune proposent un affichage convenable pour les régions tempérées, mais cet affichage ne se révèle plus compatible avec l'aspect de la lune vu depuis les régions tropicales ou équatoriales.Most watches with a moon display offer a suitable display for temperate regions, but this display is no longer compatible with the aspect of the moon seen from tropical or equatorial regions.

Le document US2014/0247699A1 au nom de Sembritzki décrit un dispositif portable comprenant un dispositif d'affichage pour afficher des phases de lune. L'image de la ou des lunes est fournie dans le cadran, et un élément rotatif est prévu au-dessus du cadran pour fournir des images d'une lune pleine, décroissante, neuve et croissante. Le dispositif permet une rotation à la fois bidirectionnelle et unidirectionnelle de l'élément rotatif. Le dispositif peut afficher simultanément ou sélectivement des phases de lune compatibles avec des vues de l'hémisphère nord et / ou de l'hémisphère sud.The document US2014/0247699A1 in the name of Sembritzki describes a portable device comprising a display device for displaying moon phases. The image of the moon(s) is provided within the dial, and a rotating element is provided above the dial to provide images of a full, waning, new moon and growing. The device allows both bidirectional and unidirectional rotation of the rotating element. The device can simultaneously or selectively display moon phases compatible with Northern Hemisphere and/or Southern Hemisphere views.

Le document US540844 au nom de Kita décrit une pièce d'horlogerie électronique ayant une fonction de réception de signal, l'heure actuelle à un endroit où se trouve un utilisateur peut être affichée sans désigner de nom régional. Les données de quasi-distance entre les satellites et le point de réception du signal sont calculées sur la base des temps de retard des signaux transmis par les satellites. L'information de position sur le point de réception du signal est obtenue à partir de quatre données de quasi-distance. Par la suite, cette information de position est comparée aux données de longitude/latitude précédemment stockées dans la ROM, pour rechercher une ville située le plus près de ce point de réception de signal. En outre, il est décidé si la ville située le plus près du point de réception actuel coïncide ou non avec la ville située le plus près du point de réception précédent. Si ces villes coïncident, l'heure actuelle de la ville stockée dans le registre de comptage de temps est directement affichée. Si aucune coïncidence n'est établie, le temps compté par l'unité de comptage de temps est corrigé en fonction des données de différence de temps concernant la ville située le plus près du point de réception de signal actuel, et l'heure corrigée est associée au nom de cette ville.The document US540844 in the name of Kita describes an electronic timepiece having a signal receiving function, the current time at a place where a user is can be displayed without designating a regional name. The quasi-distance data between the satellites and the signal reception point is calculated based on the delay times of the signals transmitted by the satellites. The position information on the signal reception point is obtained from four quasi-distance data. Subsequently, this position information is compared with the longitude/latitude data previously stored in the ROM, to find a city located closest to this signal reception point. In addition, it is decided whether or not the city located closest to the current reception point coincides with the city located closest to the previous reception point. If these cities coincide, the current time of the city stored in the time count register is directly displayed. If no coincidence is established, the time counted by the time counting unit is corrected according to the time difference data of the city nearest to the current signal reception point, and the corrected time is associated with the name of this city.

Un dispositif de stockage de mémoire, un microprocesseur, des systèmes d'affichage graphique à commande mécanique et logicielle et une connectivité réseau facilitent la saisie des complications sélectionnées par l'utilisateur, des options d'affichage, des arguments géographiques et d'autres variables. La pièce d'horlogerie n'est pas limitée à une zone géographique préprogrammée ou à des complications prédéfinies.The document US2010/0226213A1 in the name of Drugge describes a timepiece or wristwatch, which displays celestial "complications" and weather events based on calculations and conditions relevant to the geographical location of the timepiece.

L'invention concerne ainsi un dispositif 10 d'affichage de phase de lune universel pour montre 1000.The invention thus relates to a universal moon phase display device 10 for watch 1000.

Ce dispositif 10 comporte des premiers moyens 1 de réception de la date du jour, et des deuxièmes moyens 2 de réception d'un signal de géolocalisation.This device 10 comprises first means 1 for receiving the current date, and second means 2 for receiving a geolocation signal.

Le dispositif 10 comporte classiquement au moins un premier afficheur 6, qui comporte au moins une représentation de lune normale 11. Le dispositif 10 comporte des premiers moyens d'entraînement 7 pour entraîner ce premier afficheur 6.The device 10 conventionally comprises at least one first display 6, which comprises at least one representation of a normal moon 11. The device 10 comprises first drive means 7 to drive this first display 6.

Ce dispositif 10 comporte des troisièmes moyens 3 de calcul ou de réception d'un calendrier lunaire 4, lequel comporte au moins la corrélation entre la date et la phase de lune.This device 10 includes third means 3 for calculating or receiving a lunar calendar 4, which includes at least the correlation between the date and the moon phase.

Ce dispositif 10 comporte encore des moyens de calcul de position 5, qui sont agencés pour transformer la phase de lune du jour en une première valeur de position angulaire αL du premier afficheur 6, qui est notamment mais non limitativement constitué par un disque de lune.This device 10 also comprises position calculating means 5, which are arranged to transform the moon phase of the day into a first value of angular position αL of the first display 6, which is in particular but not limited to constituted by a moon disk.

Selon l'invention, ces moyens de calcul de position 5 sont encore agencés pour déterminer l'hémisphère nord ou sud dans lequel est situé le dispositif 10, pour commander le sens de rotation des premiers moyens d'entraînement 7 pour entraîner le premier afficheur 6, dans un premier sens dans l'hémisphère nord ou dans un deuxième sens opposé dans l'hémisphère sud.According to the invention, these position calculation means 5 are further arranged to determine the northern or southern hemisphere in which the device 10 is located, to control the direction of rotation of the first drive means 7 to drive the first display 6 , in a first direction in the northern hemisphere or in a second opposite direction in the southern hemisphere.

Les figures 3N et 3S illustrent respectivement le sens de défilement de la lune dans l'hémisphère nord et dans l'hémisphère sud.THE figures 3N and 3S illustrate respectively the direction of the moon's movement in the northern hemisphere and in the southern hemisphere.

Les figures 4N et 4S illustrent de la même façon les représentations distinctes de la lune, au même instant, dans ces deux hémisphères.THE figures 4N and 4S illustrate in the same way the distinct representations of the moon, at the same instant, in these two hemispheres.

Plus particulièrement, les premiers moyens d'entraînement 7 comportent au moins un premier moteur électrique, qui est agencé pour tourner dans les deux sens de rotation, de façon à entraîner le premier afficheur 6 dans un premier sens entre une position de début de lunaison et une position de fin de lunaison de façon à effectuer une course complète en un mois lunaire, selon une course angulaire limitée et strictement inférieure à 360°, et de façon à entraîner le premier afficheur 6, en fin de lunaison, dans un deuxième sens contraire au premier sens entre la position de fin de lunaison et la position de début de lunaison dans un mouvement rétrograde rapide sensiblement instantané.More particularly, the first drive means 7 comprise at least one first electric motor, which is arranged to rotate in both directions of rotation, so as to drive the first display 6 in a first direction between a start of lunation position and an end of lunation position so as to perform a complete stroke in a lunar month, according to a limited angular stroke strictly less than 360°, and so as to drive the first display 6, at the end of the lunation, in a second opposite direction in the first direction between the end of lunation position and the beginning of lunation position in a substantially instantaneous rapid retrograde movement.

La figure 5 illustre un premier afficheur 6 qui comporte une représentation de lune unique qui est la représentation de lune normale 11.There figure 5 illustrates a first display 6 which comprises a single moon representation which is the normal moon representation 11.

Cet agencement particulier, avec un premier moteur électrique agencé pour tourner dans les deux sens de rotation, permet aussi d'utiliser un même premier afficheur 6 qui comporte plusieurs représentations de la lune, comme par exemple celui de la figure 7, qui comporte une représentation de lune normale 11 et une représentation de lune rousse 12, qui sont diamétralement opposées dans l'exemple particulier de cette figure 7. Pour évier d'afficher l'élément en opposition à la représentation appropriée de la lune, le premier afficheur 6 effectuer des aller-retour, ce que permettent les deux sens de rotation du premier moteur électrique.This particular arrangement, with a first electric motor arranged to rotate in both directions of rotation, also makes it possible to use the same first display 6 which comprises several representations of the moon, such as for example that of the figure 7 , which has a normal moon representation 11 and a red moon representation 12, which are diametrically opposed in the particular example of this figure 7 . In order to avoid displaying the element in opposition to the appropriate representation of the moon, the first display 6 perform round trips, which the two directions of rotation of the first electric motor allow.

Dans une variante particulière, le calendrier lunaire 4 comporte les dates des éclipses totales de lune et des journées de lune rousse, et le premier afficheur 6 comporte alors, selon des positions angulaires distinctes, au moins une représentation de lune normale 11 qui est affichée par défaut et au moins une représentation de lune rousse 12. Les moyens de calcul de position 5 sont agencés pour commander une rotation appropriée des premiers moyens d'entraînement 7 pour substituer une représentation de lune rousse 12 à une représentation de lune normale 11, quand la date du jour correspond à une date de lune rousse. Par exemple, la représentation de lune normale 11 est diamétralement opposée à la représentation de lune rousse 12 sur un même disque de lune, et les moyens de calcul de position 5 commandent une rotation décalée de 180° en cas de lune rousse, par rapport au calcul effectué pour une lune normale. La lune rousse est prédictible, après les éclipses totales de lune et après la pleine lune d'avril, et le calendrier lunaire 4 peut facilement en gérer les dates.Comme les éclipses et lunes rousses sont des événements prédictibles à long terme, il n'est pas indispensable de calculer la position du jour dans le mois lunaire, si cela a été fait au préalable une fois pour toutes. Pour les déterminer on peut recourir, ou à une ressource externe, ou à une mémoire interne.In a particular variant, the lunar calendar 4 comprises the dates of the total lunar eclipses and of the red moon days, and the first display 6 then comprises, according to distinct angular positions, at least one normal moon representation 11 which is displayed by defect and at least one red moon representation 12. The position calculation means 5 are arranged to control an appropriate rotation of the first drive means 7 to substitute a red moon representation 12 for a normal moon representation 11, when the today's date corresponds to a red moon date. For example, the representation of a normal moon 11 is diametrically opposed to the representation of a red moon 12 on the same moon disk, and the position calculation means 5 command a rotation shifted by 180° in the event of a moon redhead, compared to the calculation made for a normal moon. The red moon is predictable, after total lunar eclipses and after the April full moon, and Lunar Calendar 4 can easily handle the dates. It is not essential to calculate the position of the day in the lunar month, if this has been done beforehand once and for all. To determine them, one can have recourse either to an external resource or to an internal memory.

Selon l'invention telle que revendiquée, le dispositif 10 comporte un deuxième afficheur 8, lequel comporte au moins une représentation d'horizon par rapport à laquelle est mobile le premier afficheur 6. Plus particulièrement, ce deuxième afficheur 8 constitue un cache en superposition d'une partie du premier afficheur 6. Ce deuxième afficheur 8 peut constituer un masque statique classique. Plus particulièrement, ce deuxième afficheur 8 est mobile au moins dans une rotation concentrique avec le premier afficheur 6, pour permettre un rendu réaliste de la phase de lune. Plus particulièrement encore, ce deuxième afficheur 8 est mobile au moins dans une translation, notamment mais non limitativement radiale, par rapport au premier afficheur 6.According to the invention as claimed, the device 10 comprises a second display 8, which comprises at least one horizon representation with respect to which the first display 6 is movable. part of the first display 6. This second display 8 can constitute a conventional static mask. More particularly, this second display 8 is mobile at least in a concentric rotation with the first display 6, to allow a realistic rendering of the moon phase. More particularly still, this second display 8 is mobile at least in a translation, in particular but not limitingly radial, relative to the first display 6.

Les figures 3 et 4 montrent des profils classiques du deuxième afficheur 8, en usage sur les phases de lune usuelles pour les régions tempérées. La figure 6 illustre une autre variante de représentation. En effet, les régions tropicales, équatoriales, et polaires, nécessitent des caches de forme différente pour mieux matérialiser l'aspect réel de la lune dans ces régions, lors de ses différentes phases, comme le montrent notamment les figures 16 et 17 conçues pour les régions tropicales. La figure 18 illustre un exemple de masque sur un deuxième afficheur 8 conçu pour être manoeuvré en translation pour s'adapter au mieux à une plage de latitudes prédéfinies, et comporte successivement le masque des figures 3 et4, et ceux des figures 16 et 17. La figure 19 illustre un autre exemple de masque combiné qui comporte successivement le masque des figures 6 et 3.THE figures 3 and 4 show conventional profiles of the second display 8, in use on the usual moon phases for temperate regions. There figure 6 illustrates another variant of representation. Indeed, the tropical, equatorial and polar regions require caches of different shapes to better materialize the real appearance of the moon in these regions, during its different phases, as shown in particular by the figure 16 And 17 designed for tropical regions. There figure 18 illustrates an example of a mask on a second display 8 designed to be maneuvered in translation to best adapt to a range of predefined latitudes, and successively comprises the mask of the figure 3 and4, and those of figure 16 And 17 . There figure 19 illustrates another example of a combined mask which successively comprises the mask of figures 6 and 3 .

Les moyens de calcul de position 5 peuvent avantageusement utiliser les deuxièmes moyens 2 de réception d'un signal de géolocalisation, pour déterminer la latitude du lieu. L'utilisation de ce paramètre peut permettre un affichage avec un rendu beaucoup plus réaliste de l'aspect de la lune. Cet affichage réaliste peut être obtenu avec l'emploi, pour certaines latitudes, d'un deuxième afficheur 8 particulier, tel que visible sur les figures 16 ou 17 où ce deuxième afficheur 8 est immobile après son introduction en superposition avec le premier afficheur 6 qui seul est mobile, notamment en rotation.The position calculation means 5 can advantageously use the second means 2 for receiving a geolocation signal, to determine the latitude of the location. Using this setting can allow a display with a much more realistic rendering of the moon's appearance. This realistic display can be obtained with the use, for certain latitudes, of a second particular display 8, as visible on the figure 16 Or 17 where this second display 8 is stationary after its introduction superimposed with the first display 6 which alone is mobile, in particular in rotation.

Dans une variante particulière, le deuxième afficheur 8 est mobile par rapport au premier afficheur 6, en rotation ou/et en translation. Plus particulièrement, le deuxième afficheur 8 est mobile au moins selon une translation radiale par rapport au premier afficheur 6.In a particular variant, the second display 8 is movable relative to the first display 6, in rotation and/or in translation. More particularly, the second display 8 is movable at least according to a radial translation relative to the first display 6.

Ainsi, dans une variante avantageuse, les moyens de calcul de position 5 sont agencés pour calculer la latitude du lieu où est situé le dispositif 10, et pour commander des deuxièmes moyens d'entraînement 9 que comporte le dispositif 10 pour entraîner le deuxième afficheur 8 par rapport au premier afficheur 6.Thus, in an advantageous variant, the position calculation means 5 are arranged to calculate the latitude of the place where the device 10 is located, and to control second drive means 9 that the device 10 comprises to drive the second display 8 relative to the first display 6.

La figure 16, numérotée en séquence de 16.1 à 16.12, et 17, numérotée en séquence de 17.1 à 17.12, illustrent deux exemples non limitatifs de configurations particulières du deuxième afficheur 8.There figure 16 , numbered in sequence from 16.1 to 16.12, and 17, numbered in sequence from 17.1 to 17.12, illustrate two non-limiting examples of particular configurations of the second display 8.

De préférence, le dispositif 10 comporte ainsi un mécanisme électromécanique permettant de déplacer l'horizon. Dans une réalisation particulièrement simple, on entraîne une crémaillère à l'aide d'un pignon couplé au moteur. On peut aussi utiliser un autre principe avec uniquement des pivotements (sans translation), avec un simple pivotement de l'horizon, ou bien avec un système type pantographe.Preferably, the device 10 thus comprises an electromechanical mechanism making it possible to move the horizon. In a particularly simple embodiment, a rack is driven using a pinion coupled to the motor. It is also possible to use another principle with only pivoting (without translation), with a simple pivoting of the horizon, or even with a pantograph-type system.

La prise en compte de la latitude pour un affichage réaliste, avec un horizon mobile au moins en rotation par rapport au disque de lune, mais aussi dans une variante particulière en translation radiale par rapport à l'axe du disque de lune, permet d'offrir une fonctionnalité qui n'est en général pas bien traitée dans les affichages de phase de lune.Taking into account the latitude for a realistic display, with a mobile horizon at least in rotation with respect to the moon disk, but also in a particular variant in radial translation with respect to the axis of the moon disk, makes it possible to offer a feature that is generally not well covered in moon phase displays.

Dans une variante particulière, les premiers moyens d'entraînement 7 comportent au moins un premier moteur électrique qui est agencé pour tourner dans un unique sens de rotation. Et les moyens de calcul de position 5 sont alors agencés pour commander la vitesse des premiers moyens d'entraînement 7, de façon à entraîner le premier afficheur 6 à une première vitesse, dans une première course où la au moins une représentation de lune normale 11 est visible, entre une position de début de lunaison et une position de fin de lunaison de façon à effectuer une course complète en un mois lunaire, selon une course angulaire limitée et strictement inférieure à 360°, et de façon à entraîner le premier afficheur 6, dès la fin de lunaison, à une deuxième vitesse au moins trente fois supérieure à la première vitesse, dans une deuxième course où la au moins une représentation de lune normale 11 n'est pas visible, entre la position de fin de lunaison et la position de début de lunaison dans un mouvement de durée inférieure ou égale à une journée.In a particular variant, the first drive means 7 comprise at least one first electric motor which is arranged to rotate in a single direction of rotation. And the position calculation means 5 are then arranged to control the speed of the first drive means 7, so as to drive the first display 6 at a first speed, in a first race where the at least one normal moon representation 11 is visible, between a start of lunation position and an end of lunation position so as to perform a complete stroke in a lunar month, according to a limited angular stroke and strictly less than 360°, and so as to drive the first display 6 , from the end of the lunation, at a second speed at least thirty times greater than the first speed, in a second race where the at least one representation of the moon normal 11 is not visible, between the end of lunation position and the beginning of lunation position in a movement lasting less than or equal to one day.

La figure 8 illustre une telle configuration, avec un premier afficheur 6 comportant une seule représentation de lune normale 11, et qui tourne toujours dans le même sens. Dans l'hémisphère nord, tel que représenté, la représentation de lune normale 11 passe du cache A au cache B du deuxième afficheur 8, reste cachée sous la partie B en fin de lunaison, puis repasse directement sous le cache A pour recommencer une nouvelle période. Dans l'hémisphère sud, c'est l'inverse : la représentation de lune normale 11 passe du cache B au cache A du deuxième afficheur 8, reste cachée sous la partie A en fin de lunaison, puis repasse directement sous le cache B pour recommencer une nouvelle période.There figure 8 illustrates such a configuration, with a first display 6 comprising a single normal moon representation 11, and which always rotates in the same direction. In the northern hemisphere, as represented, the normal moon representation 11 goes from cache A to cache B of the second display 8, remains hidden under part B at the end of the lunation, then goes back directly under cache A to start a new period. In the southern hemisphere, it is the opposite: the normal moon representation 11 passes from cache B to cache A of the second display 8, remains hidden under part A at the end of the lunation, then returns directly under cache B to start a new period.

Dans une variante, les premiers moyens 1 de la réception de la date du jour sont des moyens de réception d'un signal émis par un satellite ou par un appareil de téléphonie mobile 100 agencé pour être porté par l'utilisateur de la montre 1000.In a variant, the first means 1 for receiving the current date are means for receiving a signal transmitted by a satellite or by a mobile telephone device 100 arranged to be worn by the user of the watch 1000.

Dans une variante, les deuxièmes moyens 2 de réception d'un signal de géolocalisation sont des moyens de réception d'un signal émis par un satellite ou par un appareil de téléphonie mobile 100 agencé pour être porté par l'utilisateur de la montre 100.In a variant, the second means 2 for receiving a geolocation signal are means for receiving a signal transmitted by a satellite or by a mobile telephone device 100 arranged to be worn by the user of the watch 100.

Dans une variante, les troisièmes moyens 3 de calcul ou de réception d'un calendrier lunaire 4 sont des moyens de réception d'un signal émis par un satellite ou par un appareil de téléphonie mobile 100 agencé pour être porté par l'utilisateur de la montre 1000.In a variant, the third means 3 for calculating or receiving a lunar calendar 4 are means for receiving a signal emitted by a satellite or by a mobile telephone device 100 arranged to be carried by the user of the shows 1000.

Un tel appareil de téléphonie mobile 100 peut consister en un « smartphone» ou similaire, avec lequel la montre 1000 peut échanger des informations, sans nécessairement impliquer une action de l'utilisateur.Such a mobile telephone device 100 can consist of a “smartphone” or the like, with which the watch 1000 can exchange information, without necessarily involving an action by the user.

Plus particulièrement, une méthode «WOP watch optical programming» de transmission entre un appareil de téléphonie mobile 100 et une montre 1000 rend possible la transmission de la localisation de l'utilisateur à la montre, et la modification de l'affichage des phases de lune, ou d'autres affichages, tels que lever et coucher de soleil, ou marées. D'autres protocoles tels « Bluetooth Low Energy » ou « NFC » peuvent être utilisés pour envoyer ces informations à la montre.More particularly, a “WOP watch optical programming” method of transmission between a mobile telephone device 100 and a watch 1000 makes it possible to transmit the location of the user to the watch, and to modify the display of the phases of the moon , or other displays, such as sunrise and sunset, or tides. Other protocols such as "Bluetooth Low Energy" or "NFC" can be used to send this information to the watch.

La localisation de l'utilisateur est connue de l'appareil de téléphonie mobile 100 par différentes techniques:

  • « GPS » qui donne la longitude et latitude ;
  • présence dans un pays qui est déterminé à la fois par le « GPS » et le réseau cellulaire auquel le téléphone est connecté.
The location of the user is known to the mobile telephone device 100 by various techniques:
  • "GPS" which gives the longitude and latitude;
  • presence in a country which is determined by both “GPS” and the cellular network to which the phone is connected.

L'appareil de téléphonie mobile 100 peut transmettre cette information dans différents formats:

  • latitude: positive dans l'hémisphère Nord - négative dans l'hémisphère Sud ;
  • quelques bits codant (2 bits): hémisphère Nord - Sud - Equateur - Pôle
  • code du pays utilisé pour déterminer si la correction d'heure d'été (DST ou Daylignt Saving Time) doit être faite.
The mobile phone device 100 can transmit this information in different formats:
  • latitude: positive in the northern hemisphere - negative in the southern hemisphere;
  • some coding bits (2 bits): North - South - Equator - Pole hemisphere
  • country code used to determine if daylight saving time (DST or Daylight Saving Time) correction should be made.

Pour le calcul des phases de lune, le protocole « WOP » transmet la date, de façon à ce que le disque de lune puisse indiquer la phase de lune correcte. La période de lune est de 29,53 jours, il est usuel de décrire l'apparence de la lune en jours lunaires numérotés de 1 à 29, le cycle lunaire est usuellement divisée en 8 phases, chacune durant environ 88 heures.For the calculation of the moon phases, the "WOP" protocol transmits the date, so that the moon disc can indicate the correct moon phase. The moon period is 29.53 days, it is usual to describe the appearance of the moon in lunar days numbered from 1 to 29, the lunar cycle is usually divided into 8 phases, each lasting approximately 88 hours.

Ces phases sont, dans l'hémisphère nord et dans cet ordre, visibles sur la figure 10: nouvelle lune 10.1, croissant du soir 10.2, premier quartier 10.3, lune gibbeuse croissante 10.4, pleine lune 10.5, lune gibbeuse décroissante 10.6, dernier quartier 10.7, croissant du matin 10.8.These phases are, in the northern hemisphere and in this order, visible on the figure 10 : new moon 10.1, evening crescent 10.2, first quarter 10.3, waxing gibbous moon 10.4, full moon 10.5, waning gibbous moon 10.6, last quarter 10.7, morning crescent 10.8.

Tandis que dans l'hémisphère sud, sur la même figure 10, on a, dans cet ordre : croissant du soir 10.8, premier quartier 10.7, lune gibbeuse croissante 10.6, pleine lune 10.5, lune gibbeuse décroissante 10.4, dernier quartier 10.3, croissant du matin 10.2, nouvelle lune 10.1.While in the southern hemisphere, on the same figure 10 , we have, in this order: evening crescent 10.8, first quarter 10.7, waxing gibbous moon 10.6, full moon 10.5, waning gibbous moon 10.4, last quarter 10.3, morning crescent 10.2, new moon 10.1.

Pour calculer le jour de lune à une certaine date, il est nécessaire de connaître le jour de lune à une date déterminée, de calculer le nombre de jours jusqu'à la date considérée, et d'effectuer une division modulo 29,53, dont le résultat représente l'ordre du jour de lune.To calculate the lunar day on a certain date, it is necessary to know the lunar day on a given date, to calculate the number of days until the date considered, and to carry out a division modulo 29.53, of which the result represents Moon's agenda.

L'invention concerne encore une montre 1000 comportant au moins un tel dispositif 10.The invention also relates to a watch 1000 comprising at least one such device 10.

L'invention concerne encore un ensemble portatif 2000, comportant une telle montre 1000, et un appareil de téléphonie mobile 100 agencé pour fournir un signal ou une information de géolocalisation et/ou d'indication de l'hémisphère terrestre du lieu, et/ou de date à un dispositif 10 que comporte la montre 1000.The invention also relates to a portable assembly 2000, comprising such a watch 1000, and a mobile telephone device 100 arranged to provide a signal or geolocation information and/or indication of the terrestrial hemisphere of the place, and/or date to a device 10 that includes the watch 1000.

La figure 11 illustre un exemple non limitatif d'algorithme de commande de l'affichage des phases de lune. Au niveau de la montre 1000, la fonction 110 est la gestion de l'heure de la montre, en 111 intervient le test effectué à minuit. Le calcul du jour lunaire est effectué en 112 en fonction des éléments reçus de l'appareil de téléphonie mobile 100 : 116 localisation « GPS » ou similaire ; 117 recours à une mémoire ou à un serveur pour la détermination des éclipses totales de lune et des lunes rousses ; 118 transfert à la montre. L'étape 113 est celle du calcul de la phase de lune, avec la prise en compte de la date et de la localisation, et en particulier de l'hémisphère, complétée le cas échéant de la survenue en 114 d'éclipse ou de lune rousse, pour l'affichage en 115 de la phase de lune, avec le type de lune adéquat (lune normale ou lune rousse).There figure 11 illustrates a non-limiting example of a moon phase display control algorithm. At the level of the watch 1000, the function 110 is the management of the time of the watch, in 111 the test carried out at midnight intervenes. The calculation of the lunar day is carried out at 112 according to the elements received from the mobile telephony device 100: 116 “GPS” location or similar; 117 using a memory or a server to determine total lunar eclipses and red moons; 118 transfer to watch. Step 113 is that of the calculation of the moon phase, taking into account the date and the location, and in particular the hemisphere, supplemented if necessary by the occurrence in 114 of an eclipse or of the moon red, for the display in 115 of the moon phase, with the appropriate type of moon (normal moon or red moon).

La figure 12 illustre un autre exemple non limitatif d'algorithme : 120 recherche de l'hémisphère ; 121 recours à la géolocalisation et/ou l'indication de l'hémisphère terrestre du lieu; 123 détermination de l'hémisphère ; 124 sens de rotation du moteur du premier afficheur ; 124 prise en compte de la latitude pour l'orientation de la lune en 125 ; recherche de la date en 126 avec calcul direct interne ou recours externe en 1260, pour détermination de la date en 127; recherche du calendrier lunaire en 128 ;: interne, ou recours externe en 1280, pour déterminer en 129 l'angle de rotation αL imposé au moteur 7.There figure 12 illustrates another non-limiting example of an algorithm: 120 search for the hemisphere; 121 use of geolocation and/or indication of the terrestrial hemisphere of the location; 123 determination of the hemisphere; 124 motor rotation direction of the first display; 124 taking into account the latitude for the orientation of the moon in 125; search for the date at 126 with direct internal calculation or external recourse at 1260, for determination of the date at 127; search for the lunar calendar at 128;: internal, or external recourse at 1280, to determine at 129 the angle of rotation αL imposed on the motor 7.

La figure 13 illustre un algorithme de gestion de lune rousse, avec en 130 la recherche de lune rousse, en interne ou recours externe en 1300, pour déterminer en 131 l'aspect de la lune, et choisir, en 132, de maintenir la commande angulaire du moteur en 133 en cas de lune blanche, ou de lui imprimer un déphasage angulaire en 134.There figure 13 illustrates a red moon management algorithm, with at 130 the red moon search, internally or external recourse at 1300, to determine at 131 the aspect of the moon, and to choose, at 132, to maintain the angular control of the motor at 133 in the event of a white moon, or to give it an angular phase shift at 134.

La figure 14 illustre un algorithme de translation du second afficheur 8 par rapport au premier afficheur 6, après la détermination de l'orientation et de la latitude, en 140 calcul du décalage, 141 couplage en rotation, et142 translation relative.There figure 14 illustrates an algorithm for translation of the second display 8 with respect to the first display 6, after determining the orientation and the latitude, by 140 calculating the offset, 141 coupling in rotation, and 142 relative translation.

La figure 15 illustre un algorithme de gestion de vitesse pour un afficheur à mouvement accéléré : en 150 test de fin de lunaison, en 151 accélération du moteur en 152 reprise de la vitesse normale.There figure 15 illustrates a speed management algorithm for a display with accelerated movement: in 150 end of lunation test, in 151 acceleration of the motor in 152 resumption of normal speed.

En somme, un algorithme permet de prédire précisément l'aspect de la phase de la lune selon la date. La géolocalisation et/ou indication de l'hémisphère terrestre du lieu permet de modifier l'apparence et le sens de rotation du premier afficheur 6, notamment un disque de lune.In short, an algorithm makes it possible to accurately predict the aspect of the phase of the moon according to the date. The geolocation and/or indication of the terrestrial hemisphere of the place makes it possible to modify the appearance and the direction of rotation of the first display 6, in particular a moon disk.

La liaison entre un appareil de téléphonie mobile 100 et une montre 1000 permet un réglage automatique, sans intervention de l'utilisateur.The connection between a mobile telephone device 100 and a watch 1000 allows automatic adjustment, without user intervention.

L'invention offre différents avantages:

  • l'affichage de la phase de lune est juste par rapport à la date du jour et à l'hémisphère du lieu où se situe la monter ;
  • le réglage est simplifié ;
  • il suffit d'un disque avec une seule lune, dans la variante simple où on ne gère pas l'affichage de la lune rousse ;
  • la variante où on gère l'affichage de la lune rousse ne nécessite que l'adaptation du disque de lune avec le rajout d'une représentation de la lune rousse ;
  • l'utilisation de la latitude du lieu transmise par géolocalisation permet d'affiner les affichages de phases de lune dans les régions équatoriale, tropicales, et polaires, ce qui n'était possible jusque-là qu'avec de rares pièces de haute horlogerie de cout très élevé,
  • l'affichage des marées peut avantageusement couplé à celui des lunes. Le lien avec une ressource externe est particulièrement intéressant puisqu'il permet de prendre en compte les spécificités des côtes. Il est possible, ou bien de transférer les heures pré-calculées de marées hautes, basses, et du marnage, ou bien de transmettre les valeurs pour le jour courant, et de recalculer les valeurs futures à l'aide d'un polynôme dont on envoie les coefficients à la montre;
  • la prise en compte d'une correction d'heure d'été peut être faite par la liaison entre un appareil de téléphonie mobile et la montre, et est nécessaire dans le cas de gestion d'horaire des marées.
The invention offers various advantages:
  • the display of the moon phase is correct in relation to the current date and the hemisphere of the place where the mount is located;
  • adjustment is simplified;
  • all you need is a disc with a single moon, in the simple variant where the display of the red moon is not managed;
  • the variant where the display of the red moon is managed only requires the adaptation of the moon disk with the addition of a representation of the red moon;
  • the use of the latitude of the place transmitted by geolocation makes it possible to refine the moon phase displays in the equatorial, tropical and polar regions, which was only possible until now with rare Haute Horlogerie pieces from very high cost,
  • the display of the tides can advantageously be coupled with that of the moons. The link with an external resource is particularly interesting since it makes it possible to take into account the specificities of the coasts. It is possible, either to transfer the pre-calculated times of high, low and tidal tides, or to transmit the values for the current day, and to recalculate the future values using a polynomial whose sends the coefficients to the watch;
  • taking into account a summer time correction can be made by the connection between a mobile telephone device and the watch, and is necessary in the case of tide schedule management.
