Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of function selection devices represented by patterns, for example logos.
  • a device can in particular be integrated with a timepiece of the wristwatch type, and for example be used in the context of bank payments.
  • Payment watches have recently appeared on the market, opening a new era for credit payments, making the payment of small purchases faster and more convenient than searching through the pockets for money.
  • a watch is conventionally equipped with a device for selecting a combination of payment options, each option being for example represented by a pattern (or logo). It is for example possible to select and display a type of credit card (Visa, Mastercard %), a type of bank account (account for household expenses, account for personal expenses ...), etc. .
  • LCDs liquid crystal displays
  • OLED organic light-emitting diode
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a pattern selection device, having no display screen, simple and inexpensive to achieve.
  • the device according to the invention is a coaxial counter with two disks, inspired by the operating principle of a hours and minutes counter.
  • the external disk rotates more slowly than the internal disk, it is comparable to an hour wheel.
  • the internal disk is, in turn, comparable to a minute wheel.
  • the reduction ratio between the internal disk and the external disk is not necessarily as 12 as is the case of a conventional hour / minute counter. The reduction ratio depends on the number of patterns on the disks and the location of these patterns.
  • a complete rotation of the internal disk causes a rotation of the outer disk dependent on the reduction ratio. If the reduction ratio is 2, then a complete rotation of the inner disk causes a half rotation of the outer disk. If the reduction ratio is 4, then a complete rotation of the inner disk causes a quarter-turn rotation of the outer disk.
  • a reduction ratio of M means that a 360 ° rotation of the driving disk (here, the internal disk) causes a rotation of 360 / M ° of the driven disk (here, the outer disk).
  • the driving disk is the outer disk and the driven disk is the inner disk, the gear ratio between the driving disk and the driven disk is no longer a ratio of reduction but a multiplication report.
  • the actuating means and the gear means make it possible to rotate the internal and external disks together.
  • the actuating means are for example actuated by an electric motor.
  • it avoids using multiple motors to rotate the external and internal disks separately.
  • space and weight gain are obtained by reducing the number of motors required to operate the display device. These gains are particularly advantageous for a timepiece.
  • the device according to the first aspect or the second aspect may comprise the following additional features, taken alone or in any technically possible combination.
  • N is at most 5, preferably two or three.
  • M is at most 5, preferably two or three.
  • the N symbols of the inner disk and the M symbols of the outer disk are all different.
  • the symbols of the inner disk and the symbols of the outer disk each form a half-image, a symbol of the inner disk facing a symbol of the outer disk forming a complete image.
  • the device according to the first aspect or the second aspect comprises a single motor for operating together the internal and external disks via the gear means and the actuating means.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, in particular a payment watch, comprising such a device for selecting patterns.
  • an annular peripheral portion HE of the outer disk DE is next to the dial CD. On this portion, patterns are represented. Similarly, on an annular peripheral portion HI of the inner disk DI, patterns are shown.
  • Each DI, DE disc has at least two different patterns.
  • a "pattern” or a patternless space (also called a vacuum) is called a "symbol”. Each angular sector thus bears a symbol.
  • the GC desk is arranged to be next to a symbol of the internal disk DI and a symbol of the external disk DE to match them. Through the GC window, we can see a combination of two symbols.
  • the internal disk DI of the selection device is connected, via a chain comprising disks and pinions, to a rotor RT of an electric motor.
  • the chain comprises, for example, a disk D3 integral in rotation with the inner disk DI, a pinion P3 meshing with the disk D3, a disk D4 integral in rotation with the pinion P3, a pinion P4 meshing with the disk D4, and a disk D5 integral with rotation of pinion P4.
  • the motor thus makes it possible to rotate the internal and external disks together. Only one engine is enough to operate both drives.
  • the internal disk DI has N symbols distributed over N angular sectors of the same size of its peripheral portion HI, each angular sector carrying a symbol.
  • the outer disk DE meanwhile, carries M symbols distributed on M * N angular sectors of the same size of its peripheral portion HE. Each of the M symbols is repeated over N consecutive angular sectors.
  • the reduction ratio between the driving disk (the inner disk DI) and the driven disk (the outer disk DE) is M.
  • a complete revolution of the inner disk DI causes a third of a revolution of the outer disk DE.
  • the symbol of the internal disk DI displayed in the GC window remains the same, but the symbol of the external disk DE displayed in the GC window changes.
  • the symbol of the external disk DE is modified visible through the window GC.
  • one Nth of a turn of the internal disk DI makes it possible to cause a change in the symbol of the internal disk DI displayed in the GC window without modifying the symbol of the external disk DE displayed in the GC window. This is true of course in the case where the angular sector of the outer disk DE visible through the window GC is the last of a series of N angular sectors bearing the same symbol. In this case, the visible symbol of the internal disk DI and the visible symbol of the external disk DE change both.
  • the internal disk DI carries 4 symbols A, B, C, D; the external disk DE carries 2 symbols E, F. Naturally, nothing prevents that one or more of these symbols is a vacuum ⁇ .
  • the AE combination is displayed in the GC window.
  • the DI internal disk rotates, the following combinations are displayed: BE - EC - DE - AF - BF - CF - DF - AE again, etc.
  • the internal disk DI carries 4 symbols A, B, C, D; the external disk DE carries 4 symbols E, F, G, H. Again, nothing prevents that one or more of these symbols is a vacuum ⁇ .
  • the AE combination is displayed in the window.
  • the following combinations are displayed: BE - EC - DE - AF - BF - CF - DF - AG - BG - CG - DG - AH - BH - CH - DH - AE again, etc.
  • the actuating means drive the outer disk DE instead of driving the inner disk DI.
  • the actuating means of the inner disk DI then comprise, for example, an actuable rod (not shown), a disk D6 that can be driven by the rod, and a pinion P6 meshing with the disk D6 and integral in rotation with the outer disk DE.
  • the gear means comprise for example the pinion P6, the disk D6, a pinion P7 integral in rotation with the disk D6, and a disk D7 meshing with the pinion P7 and integral in rotation with the inner disk DI.
  • the external disk DE of the selection device is connected, via a chain comprising disks and pinions, to the rotor RT.
  • the chain includes, for example, the pinion P6, a disk D8 integral in rotation with the pinion P6, a pinion P8 meshing with the disk D8, a disk D9 integral with the pinion P8, a pinion P9 meshing with the disk D9, and a disk D10 in rotation with the pinion P9.
  • the invention also relates to a timepiece, not shown in the figures, the part comprising a selection device of patterns as described above, and which can operate according to the first aspect or the second aspect of the invention.
  • the timepiece may be a payment watch in which the selection device makes it possible to select means of payment.
  • the reasons are for example reasons of the type of credit card (Visa, Mastercard or other), worn for example by the internal disk, and reasons for bank accounts, type of purchase or currency in which the payment is made, worn for example by the outer disk.
  • the wearer of the watch selects the card and the account or the currency with which he wants to pay, matching the corresponding patterns of each disc in the window of the dial.
  • the selection device is, for example, connected to a payment system integrated with the payment watch, the system not being shown in the drawings.
  • a payment system integrated with the payment watch, the system not being shown in the drawings.
  • the wearer of the watch selects patterns through the selection device and operates the payment via the integrated payment system, which transmits banking data, for example to a bank payment terminal.
  • the selection device comprises coding means arranged under the internal and external disks for transmitting the selection information to the payment system.
  • the encoding means are for example optical or capacitive means configured to determine the position of the discs, and therefore the patterns selected by the user.
  • the selection device comprises a processing unit, for example equipped with software, configured to count the rotation commands transmitted to the selection device, when the user actuates the selection device.
  • the processing unit is able to deduce the positions of the disks, and therefore the patterns selected by the user.
  • the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example, but is susceptible of various variations and modifications that will occur to those skilled in the art.
  • the selection device can be used in other areas, the payment watch being only one possible example of use.
