Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display method for a user to intuitively recognize time, order or the like of a plurality of events such as a train time.SOLUTION: A display method displays at once time of a plurality of events by arranging and displaying digital or analog display devices on a dial plate of an analog clock so that a user can intuitively recognize time, order or the like of a plurality of events such as a train departure time or the like.

Description

  The present invention relates to a display device.

  When displaying an event such as when displaying the time of a train, in recent years, digital display is generally performed at a traffic station such as a train. Thus, the passenger can recognize the next or next train time in advance.

  However, if trains arrive frequently, for example, every 5 minutes, it is convenient to display as many times as possible, but the number of displays is limited. Moreover, it is difficult to see if it is displayed too much, or there is a limit to how intuitively the target train will arrive.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a display method that can intuitively recognize the time or order of a plurality of events such as train times.

  The present invention is a display device that displays a time or order of a plurality of events at a time by arranging a display device that lights up every minute or the like on an analog display device such as an analog clock.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily and intuitively recognize the time or order of a plurality of events.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[Event display analog clock]

  FIG. 1 shows an example in which the time of a train is displayed on an analog clock. This clock displays the current time 10:11, and the black dot indicates the departure time of the train. As a result, the departure times of all trains within one hour from 10:11 indicated by the analog display time can be recognized at a glance. It is also possible to easily recognize the time from the current time to the target train, such as the next train or the next train. In addition, it becomes easy to recognize a train in a target time zone such as a train that departs after about 30 minutes.

  If a plurality of displays are arranged at one time as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of states can be displayed at the same time. For example, the up and down trains can be displayed simultaneously. In FIG. 2, for example, the round display indicates climbing and the square display indicates descending. It is also useful to color the display. The climb is blue and the descent is red.

  Furthermore, if a digital or analog display device is added inside the analog display device, the events and states that can be displayed can be greatly increased. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the date and time are displayed. Thus, if a plurality of data having different dates and times can be stored and displayed by, for example, a microcomputer equipped with a memory, it is possible to display a desired date, time, for example, a time within one hour at a time. . For example, it is possible to display events within one hour in a desired time zone of a target date and time, such as a target date of 10:00 to 11:00 or 12:00.

  In addition, if a station name, a route name, or the like is used for display contents as shown in FIG. 4, it becomes easy to recognize the display of a desired station.

  This type of usage is useful not only at stations but also at shops and homes near a large number of stations, and if it is used for a wristwatch and set to the desired station, it can easily recognize the train to ride. It is useful.

  It is also useful to realize functions equivalent to those described so far with an electronic device such as a smart phone.

      It is a figure of the event display analog timepiece which is embodiment of this invention.       It is a figure of the event display analog timepiece which displays the some state which is embodiment of this invention.       It is a figure of the event display analog timepiece which added the date display which is embodiment of this invention.       It is a figure of the event display analog clock which added the display of the station name and route which are embodiment of this invention.

Claims (5)
