FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of an electronic timepiece 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The electronic timepiece 1 includes a CPU 41 (Central Processing Unit) (local time acquisition means, setting selection means, movement determination means, daylight saving time implementation information switching means), a ROM 42 (Read Only Memory) (storage means), and a RAM 43 (Random Access Memory). ), An oscillation circuit 44, a frequency dividing circuit 45, a time measuring circuit 46 (time measuring means), a display section 47 (display means), a display driver 48, an operation section 49 (operation means), and a power supply section 50 , A GPS reception processing unit 51 (positioning means) and a reception antenna 52 thereof.

  The CPU 41 performs various arithmetic processes and controls the overall operation of the electronic timepiece 1. The CPU 41 loads the control program read from the ROM 42 into the RAM 43 and performs various operation processes such as date and time display and arithmetic control and display related to various functions. In addition, the CPU 41 operates the GPS reception processing unit 51 to acquire date / time information and position information obtained by receiving radio waves from the positioning satellite.

  The ROM 42 is a mask ROM, a rewritable nonvolatile memory, or the like, and stores a control program and initial setting data stored in advance. The control program includes a program 421 relating to control of various processes for acquiring various information from the positioning satellite. In addition, the initial setting data includes, for example, a time difference table 422 that stores information related to time zones to which each of the divided parts of the world belongs and information related to daylight saving time implementation rules. The time difference table 422 will be described later.

  The RAM 43 is a volatile memory such as SRAM or DRAM, and provides a working memory space to the CPU 41 to store temporary data and various setting data. The various setting data includes a home city setting of the electronic timepiece 1, a date / time counting, and a setting relating to whether or not daylight saving time is applicable for display.

  The oscillation circuit 44 generates and outputs a predetermined frequency signal determined in advance. For example, a crystal oscillator is used for the oscillation circuit 44.

  The frequency dividing circuit 45 divides the frequency signal input from the oscillation circuit 44 into a frequency signal used by the time measuring circuit 46 and the CPU 41 and outputs the frequency signal. The frequency of the output signal may be changeable based on the setting by the CPU 41. Further, the frequency of the oscillation circuit 44 may be output as it is.

  The timer circuit 46 counts the current date and time by counting the number of input signals and adding it to the initial value. As the time counting circuit 46, a value stored in the RAM may be changed by software, or a dedicated counter circuit may be provided. The date and time counted by the timing circuit 46 is not particularly limited, but is any of accumulated time from a predetermined timing, UTC date and time (Coordinated Universal Time), or preset date and time of the home city (local time). It is. Further, the date and time itself counted by the timer circuit 46 does not necessarily have to be held in the format of year / month / day, hour / minute / second.

  The display unit 47 includes, for example, a display screen such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescent) display, and digital display related to date and time and various functions by using either a dot matrix method or a segment method or a combination thereof. Perform the action. The display driver 48 outputs a drive signal corresponding to the type of the display screen to the display unit 47 based on the control signal from the CPU 41 to display on the display screen.

The operation unit 49 receives an input operation from the user and outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the input operation to the CPU 41 as an input signal. The operation unit 49 includes, for example, a push button switch crown switch.
Alternatively, a touch sensor is provided on the display screen of the display unit 47, and the display unit 47 functions as a touch panel that outputs an operation signal according to a contact position or a contact mode related to a user's contact operation with the touch sensor. The operation unit 49 may be provided integrally.

  The power supply unit 50 supplies power related to the operation of the electronic timepiece 1 to each unit at a predetermined voltage. Here, a solar battery and a secondary battery are used for the power supply unit 50. The solar battery generates electromotive force by light incident on the solar panel and supplies power to each unit such as the CPU 41. When surplus power is generated, the solar battery stores the secondary battery with the power. On the other hand, when the power that can be generated by the amount of incident light from the outside to the solar panel is insufficient with respect to the power consumption, power is supplied from the secondary battery.

  The GPS reception processing unit 51 receives the radio wave by identifying and capturing the C / A code in synchronization with the radio wave from the positioning satellite via the receiving antenna 52, and demodulates and decodes the navigation message transmitted by the positioning satellite. And get the information you need. In addition, when the positioning information is acquired, the GPS reception processing unit 51 demodulates and decodes the navigation message for a plurality of satellites, calculates the current position using the obtained data, and outputs the current position information. As the GPS reception processing unit 51, a module in which a dedicated processing circuit is formed as a single chip is usually used. A CPU that performs control separately from the CPU 41, the ROM 42, and the RAM 43, and predicted orbits of setting data and positioning satellites A storage unit for storing information and the like is provided. The GPS reception processing unit 51 is directly supplied with electric power from the power supply unit 50, and is turned on / off by a control signal of the CPU 41.

Next, the daylight saving time application operation to the display date and time in the electronic timepiece 1 of the present embodiment will be described.
In the electronic timepiece 1, the daylight saving time application setting can be switched to an automatic mode (AUTO), a manual application mode (DST), or a manual release mode (STD) based on an input operation by the user to the operation unit 49. ing. This setting is stored in the RAM 43. In the manual application mode (DST) and the manual release mode (STD), whether or not to perform daylight saving time is set (user setting) by a user input operation.

  When the daylight saving time application setting is switched or when date / time information is newly acquired, this daylight saving time application setting is referred to and the local time of the display target area (predetermined point) is set according to the setting. Daylight saving time implementation information is acquired, and if necessary, a shift from standard time to daylight saving time is performed and used as new date / time data or used for display.

FIG. 2 is a chart showing an example of a part of the contents of the time difference table 422.
Daylight saving time enforcement rules applied to date / time data as daylight saving time enforcement information in the automatic mode are stored in this time difference table 422. In this time difference table 422, the time difference and daylight saving time enforcement rules are set in advance for each area obtained by dividing each part of the world into a plurality of areas. The daylight saving time implementation rule includes a daylight saving time implementation period and a shift time. Further, in this time difference table 422, a region number unique to the region is assigned to each region set so that a point where at least one of the time zone and the daylight saving time enforcement rule differs is a different region. In addition to the time zone and daylight saving time enforcement rules, this region may be divided into predetermined administrative units such as countries and states.

Each area is divided and set, for example, in a geographically substantially equal range (that is, each is equally spaced according to geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude). Therefore, by dividing the world evenly in an area sufficiently smaller than the setting range of the time zone and daylight saving time enforcement rules, the boundaries of each area can be easily set, and the points of different time zones or daylight saving time enforcement rules can be set. It can be included in different areas within a minute error range.
Data indicating the range or boundary of each area in this case may be stored together in the time difference table 422, or separately obtained by converting geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) into areas and area numbers. (World map) may be provided to refer to information on time difference and daylight saving time implementation rules according to the acquired area.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of area division using a two-dimensional map.
Here, for example, an example is shown in which a part of the world is divided into 96 areas by an 8 × 12 matrix. One of 10 area numbers G11 to G20 shown in the lower part of each matrix element is assigned to these 96 areas. In this way, it is possible to easily acquire the area and area number from the geographical coordinates and refer to the time difference table 422 to acquire the time difference and daylight saving time implementation rule corresponding to the area. As the number of the divisions increases, the division along the application boundary of the time zone and daylight saving time enforcement rules becomes possible, while it leads to an increase in processing and memory capacity. Is set.

  FIG. 2 shows four settings in a zone with a time difference of +10 hours and two zones in a zone of +9.5 hours with respect to UTC date and time (GMT), and one setting in a zone of +9 hours ( Corresponds to the Japanese setting). Here, only the areas having different area numbers are illustrated, but a plurality of areas can belong to the same area.

  As the daylight saving time implementation period, a period number corresponding to the type of the implementation period is shown here. For example, a daylight saving time period of “0” indicates that daylight saving time is not being implemented. Further, when the daylight saving time period is “11”, for example, it indicates that the daylight saving time period is from 2:00 am on the first Sunday in October to 3:00 am on the first Sunday in April. In this case, a reference table (not shown) that associates the period number with the actual period is provided, and the implementation period corresponding to the period number is referred to. Alternatively, these periods may be directly stored in the time difference table 422.

  The shift time indicates the shift amount from the standard time during the daylight saving time implementation period. As this shift time, “0” is stored when daylight saving time is not implemented, and values other than “0” are stored when implemented. When the daylight saving time application setting is the manual application mode, if the area is originally a daylight saving time implementation area, only this shift time is read and used. On the other hand, when daylight saving time is applied manually in an area that is not originally implemented for daylight saving time, a predetermined initial value, for example, +1 hour is shifted. This initial value may be changeable by a user input operation to the operation unit 49.

  When the UTC date and time is acquired by receiving radio waves from a GPS satellite, the two-dimensional map and the time difference table 422 are referred to, and the position (city) set in advance by the electronic timepiece 1 and the reception of the radio waves are also combined. Based on the acquired current position, the time difference (TZ) and the shift amount (ST) related to daylight saving time are acquired. Then, the local time (LT) of the region to which the current position belongs is obtained by LT = UTC + TZ + ST.

Next, the date correction operation in the electronic timepiece 1 will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a control procedure by the CPU 41 of the GPS date and time acquisition process executed by the electronic timepiece 1 of this embodiment.

  This GPS date and time acquisition process is periodically executed, for example, once a day at a timing when a predetermined condition is initially satisfied, or is executed as needed based on an input operation to the operation unit 49. As this predetermined condition, it can be set as the timing when the generated electromotive force by the solar battery was obtained with the light quantity of intensity | strength equivalent to outdoor sunlight, for example.

  When the GPS date and time acquisition process is started, as shown in FIG. 4A, the CPU 41 operates the GPS reception processing unit 51 to cause the CPU of the GPS reception processing unit 51 to receive radio waves from positioning satellites such as GPS satellites. Reception is started to calculate the date and time, and information related to the calculated date and time is acquired (step S101). The CPU 41 acquires current position information (step S102). This position information is acquired from the GPS reception processing unit 51 when calculated by the GPS reception processing unit 51 by the positioning operation of the GPS reception processing unit 51, and is acquired when not acquired from the GPS reception processing unit 51. The city position set in the electronic timepiece 1 at the time and stored in the RAM 43 is acquired.

  CPU41 performs the local time conversion process mentioned later (step S103). Then, the CPU 41 corrects the date and time of the timing circuit 46 and corrects the date and time displayed on the display unit 47 (step S104). Then, the CPU 41 ends the GPS date and time acquisition process.

  When the local time conversion process is called in the process of step S103, as shown in FIG. 4B, the CPU 41 determines whether the current daylight saving time application setting is in the manual application mode (DST) or the manual cancellation mode (STD). It is determined whether or not there is (step S301). If it is determined that it is neither (“NO” in step S301), the CPU 41 remains in the automatic mode (AUTO) that is the current daylight saving time application setting and corresponds to the current position acquired in the process of step S102. The local time is calculated by applying the time difference and daylight saving time rules (step S304). Then, the CPU 41 ends the local time conversion process and returns the process to the GPS date and time acquisition process.

  When it is determined that the manual application mode (DST) or the manual release mode (STD) is selected (“YES” in step S301), the CPU 41 acquires the current position (new location) acquired in the process of step S102. ) Is within a predetermined range from the previously acquired position (previous point) (step S302). Here, the predetermined range can be, for example, within a region having the same region number.

  When it is determined that the current position and the previous position are not within the predetermined range (“NO” in step S302), the CPU 41 changes the daylight saving time application setting to the automatic mode (AUTO), and according to the current position. The local time is calculated by applying the time difference and daylight saving time rules (step S304).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the current position and the previous position are within the predetermined range (“YES” in step S302), the CPU 41 sets the daylight saving time application setting to the current setting, that is, the manual application mode (DST). Or it maintains with manual cancellation | release mode (STD), acquires the time difference according to the present position from the time difference table 422, and calculates the local time which reflected time difference and daylight saving time (step S303). Then, the CPU 41 ends the local time conversion process and returns the process to the GPS date and time acquisition process.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a control procedure by the CPU 41 of the current location setting process executed by the electronic timepiece 1 of the present embodiment.

  This current location setting process is the same as the GPS date and time acquisition process except that the process of step S101 of the GPS date and time acquisition process described above is omitted, and a description of the individual process contents is omitted.

  That is, this current location setting process is executed at the timing when the current location information is set in accordance with user operation, reception of position information from the outside, etc., regardless of the acquisition of date and time information from the positioning satellite. The local time is calculated according to the difference from the location.

As described above, the electronic timepiece 1 according to the present embodiment includes the clock circuit 46 that counts the current date and time, the ROM 42 that stores the daylight saving time implementation rules set for each region, and the CPU 41. The CPU 41 selects either the daylight saving time execution rule or the user setting that specifies whether or not to perform daylight saving time as the daylight saving time execution information (setting selection means), and acquires the local time at a predetermined point using the daylight saving time execution information. Yes (local time acquisition means). Further, when the user setting is selected as the daylight saving time implementation information, the CPU 41 counts at the local time counted at the previous point where the previous local time was acquired and at the new point where the local time was newly acquired. It is determined whether or not the previous point and the new point belong within a predetermined range equal to the local time (movement determination means), and if it is not within the predetermined range, the local time is acquired based on the daylight saving time enforcement rule. (Daylight saving time implementation information switching means).
With such a configuration, the daylight saving time enforcement rule is appropriately applied at the destination when the daylight saving time enforcement rule is changed locally and a setting related to whether or not daylight saving time is performed manually is made. In addition, even if the user temporarily cancels the daylight saving time setting, if the usage changes in the destination, etc., you can return to the normal display that applied the daylight saving time enforcement rule from the manual setting once, You can display the exact local time and avoid confusion. That is, it is possible to easily acquire date and time information considering daylight saving time at the destination regardless of the normal use state.

  Further, the GPS reception processing unit 51 that acquires the current position information is provided, and when the current position information is acquired by the GPS reception processing unit 51, the CPU 41 acquires the local time according to the current position information. Therefore, when the user moves, it is possible to immediately determine whether it is necessary to calculate the local time using daylight saving time enforcement rules, and if necessary, it can be switched, so an incorrect daylight saving time display at the destination Can be avoided.

  In addition, the daylight saving time enforcement information is applied when the local time is not changed because the predetermined range is a range to which the same daylight saving time enforcement rule as the previous point is applied and belongs to the same time zone as the previous point. However, when the local time is changed, it is possible to reliably display the daylight saving time by applying the daylight saving time execution rule as the daylight saving time execution information.

  In addition, the predetermined range is set so as to be within a predetermined administrative unit, so that it is easy to cope with cases where different daylight saving time enforcement rules can be set in the future in neighboring countries or the like. I can do it.

  Also, the daylight saving time enforcement rule is stored for each area that does not cross the predetermined range according to the geographic coordinates, and when the location information of the new point is acquired, the daylight saving time enforcement corresponding to the geographic coordinates of the location is performed. Since the rules are read out, the correspondence relationship between the position and the daylight saving time execution rules is not complicated, and the necessary daylight saving time execution rules can be read out by simple processing.

  Further, the display unit 47 is provided for displaying the acquired local time, and the CPU 41 acquires the local time every time the display by the display unit 47 is updated. Can be based.

  In addition, since the operation unit 49 for inputting the user setting related to whether or not to implement daylight saving time is provided, in addition to the case where the daylight saving time implementation rule is changed, the user wants to temporarily adjust the daylight saving time display at a predetermined location. In addition, when the current position is moved after such an operation, the local time can be easily and reliably counted and displayed.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made.
For example, in the above embodiment, information relating to the time difference and daylight saving time enforcement rules is set for all the areas and stored in the time difference table 422. However, only information relating to the time difference and daylight saving time enforcement rules for each region is stored. The information may be set and referred to based on the area number. In this case, that is, the area and the area may be set equal, the geographic coordinates may be directly converted into the area number, and information reference based on the area number may be performed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, each area is divided so as to be substantially equal. However, portions where the daylight saving time enforcement rules do not change widely in the country, the state, etc. may not be divided finely. Further, when an area or an area number is identified using a two-dimensional map, processing can be performed relatively easily even if the boundary is set not along a specific latitude line or longitude line.

  In the above embodiment, the setting for determining whether or not daylight saving time is to be performed is performed by the user's input operation to the operation unit 49. However, the setting is acquired from an external device via a communication unit such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). It may be possible.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it switched from the user setting which concerns on the presence or absence of daylight saving time implementation to a daylight saving time enforcement rule according to the change of an area number, it is not restricted to this. Even within the same area, switching may be performed according to movement over a predetermined distance or movement to another area.

  Moreover, although the case where the acquired local time was displayed was demonstrated in the said embodiment, since the acquired local time is used for various alerting | reporting operations, such as an alarm function, it may only be counted.

  In the above embodiment, a radio clock that receives radio waves from GPS satellites has been described as an example. However, a configuration that receives radio waves from positioning satellites is necessary if position information can be acquired and set. Without modification, the date and time may be corrected, for example, by reception of a long-wavelength standard radio wave or date / time information from a mobile base station.

In the above embodiment, the display unit 47 having a digital display function has been described. However, if the electronic timepiece is capable of displaying the date and time, an analog type that uses a pointer or the like to display according to the direction indicated by the pointer. An electronic watch may be used.
In addition, specific details such as the configuration, control contents, and procedures shown in the above embodiment can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes the scope of the invention described in the claims and equivalents thereof. .
