Here, the operation modes include a clock mode in which the display unit 90 mainly displays the current time, day of the week, date, and the like, and a wind information display mode in which the display unit 90 displays wind information. For example, when the third button 43 is operated, the main control unit 70 switches the operation mode of the timepiece 1 from the timepiece mode to the wind information display mode. Further, the main control unit 70 switches the operation mode of the timepiece 1 from the wind information display mode to the timepiece mode, for example, when the fourth button 44 is operated or when the input unit 40 is not operated for a predetermined time. Further, in the wind information display mode, for example, when the first button 41 is operated, the display control unit 72 sequentially switches the display of the wind information stored in the storage unit 80 for each time point.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a timepiece control method according to the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the operation mode of the timepiece 1 is switched from the timepiece mode to the wind information display mode, the main control unit 70 determines whether or not the wind direction information and the wind speed information are stored in the storage unit 80 ( Step S10). When the wind direction information and the wind speed information are stored in the storage unit 80 (S10: Yes), the process proceeds to step S20. When the wind direction information and the wind speed information are not stored in the storage unit 80 (S10: No), the display control unit 72 controls the display unit 90 to display an error display (step S30), and then ends the process. Thus, the operation mode of the watch 1 is switched to the watch mode.

  In step S20, the display control unit 72 controls the display unit 90 so that the display unit 90 displays the wind speed information. A display example of the wind speed information will be described later. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S40.

  In step S <b> 40, the azimuth acquisition unit 60 acquires azimuth information and outputs it to the information processing unit 74. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S50.

  In step S <b> 50, the information processing unit 74 calculates the angle of the corrected wind direction information described above based on the direction information output from the direction acquisition unit 60 and the wind direction information stored in the storage unit 80. Next, the information processing unit 74 outputs information about the angle of the corrected wind direction information to the display control unit 72. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S60.

  In step S60, the display control unit 72 controls the display unit 90 so that the display unit 90 displays the corrected wind direction information based on the angle information of the corrected wind direction information output from the information processing unit 74. A display example of the corrected wind direction information will be described later. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S70.

  In step S70, the main control unit 70 determines whether or not to continue the wind information display mode. Specifically, as described above, the main control unit 70 determines not to continue the wind information display mode when the user operates the fourth button 44 or when the input unit 40 is not operated for a predetermined time. To do. When continuing a wind information display mode (S70: Yes), it transfers to step S40 again. When the wind information display mode is not continued (S70: No), the process is terminated and the operation mode of the timepiece 1 is switched to the timepiece mode.

Subsequently, a display example of the timepiece 1 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the timepiece mode, the display control unit 72 displays the hour and minute of the current time on the center of the main display unit 91. In addition, the display control unit 72 displays the day of the week in an area corresponding to the twelve o'clock side from the center of the main display unit 91 (hereinafter referred to as an upper area). In addition, the display control unit 72 displays the date in an area (hereinafter referred to as a lower area) corresponding to the 6 o'clock side from the central part of the main display unit 91. In addition, the display control unit 72 displays the second of the current time on the sub display unit 92. For example, the display control unit 72 displays the first dot at a position corresponding to 1 second among the plurality of dots 93 when the second of the current time is 1 second, and the plurality of dots 93 when the second of the current time is 15 seconds. The first dot at the position corresponding to 1 second to the 15th dot at the position corresponding to 15 seconds are displayed. In this way, the display control unit 72 controls the display unit 90 so that the display area of the dots 93 displayed on the sub display unit 92 becomes wider as the second of the current time advances.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the wind information display mode in the timepiece according to the first embodiment. FIG. 6 shows a case where the wind information at the time of 9 o'clock shown in FIG. 4 is displayed with the timepiece 1 facing northeast. That is, the angle of the corrected wind direction information is 45 °.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the wind information display mode, the display control unit 72 displays a number of wind speed information at the center of the main display unit 91. In addition, the display control unit 72 displays the unit of wind speed information in the upper area of the main display unit 91. In addition, the display control unit 72 displays the time corresponding to the wind information in the lower area of the main display unit 91. In addition, the display control unit 72 displays the corrected wind direction information by displaying the dots 93 of the sub display unit 92 in an animation.

Here, the display of the corrected wind direction information on the sub display unit 92 will be described in detail.
The sub display unit 92 displays the dots 93 such that the display state of the dots 93 changes along the wind direction based on the corrected wind direction information according to the display elapsed time. That is, the display control unit 72 sets the position where the angle of the corrected wind direction information is shifted in the clockwise direction from the position corresponding to 12:00 in the circumferential direction as the windward, and further sets the position shifted by 180 ° as the leeward. The sub display unit 92 is controlled so that the display state of the dots 93 changes along the imaginary straight line L. Hereinafter, the above-mentioned upwind is referred to as the upwind of the corrected wind direction information, and the above-described downwind is referred to as the downwind of the corrected wind direction information. The angle of the corrected wind direction information is calculated according to the direction information (the direction in which the timepiece 1 is directed). The upwind of the corrected wind direction information always matches the wind direction information regardless of the direction in which the timepiece 1 is directed. For example, when the position corresponding to 12:00 in the circumferential direction in the timepiece 1 coincides with the northeast, and the wind direction information is east, the angle of the corrected wind direction information is 45 °. The upwind of the corrected wind direction information is a position shifted by 45 ° in the clockwise direction from the position corresponding to 12:00 in the circumferential direction, and is east. Thereby, the upwind of the corrected wind direction information coincides with the wind direction information.

  The display control unit 72 includes a plurality of (in this embodiment, five) dots 93 (hereinafter referred to as a windward dot group) within a predetermined range in the circumferential direction centered on the windward of the corrected wind direction information, and the corrected wind direction. While one dot 93 (hereinafter referred to as leeward dot) in the information leeward is always displayed, the display state of the other dots 93 is changed. First, the display control unit 72 displays all the dots 93. Subsequently, the display control unit 72 keeps the windward dot group displayed, hides the dots 93 in order from the windward dot group, and displays only the windward dot group and the leeward dot. Thereby, the display state of the dot 93 changes along the wind direction based on the corrected wind direction information according to the display elapsed time. The dots 93 are desirably displayed so as to be symmetrical with respect to the virtual straight line L (direction along the wind direction) connecting the upwind and the downwind of the corrected wind direction information in a plan view of the timepiece 1. Thus, the display control unit 72 has at least one of a state in which the number of the plurality of dots 93 (display elements) increases with the elapsed time and decreases with the elapsed time along the wind direction based on the corrected wind direction information. The display state is changed so that the state becomes.

  The sub display unit 92 changes the behavior of the change in the display state of the dots 93 according to the magnitude of the wind speed based on the wind speed information. The display control unit 72 controls the sub display unit 92 so that the change in the display state of the dots 93 becomes faster as the magnitude of the wind speed based on the wind speed information increases.

  As described above, the timepiece 1 of the present embodiment displays the azimuth acquisition unit 60 that acquires the azimuth information, the wind information acquisition unit 73 that acquires the wind direction information, and the corrected wind direction information obtained by correcting the wind direction information with the azimuth information. A display control unit 72 for controlling the display. According to this configuration, the corrected wind direction information is corrected by the azimuth information acquired by the azimuth acquisition unit 60. Therefore, when the wind direction is instructed on the timepiece 1, the display controller 72 displays the corrected wind direction information. Thus, regardless of the direction of the timepiece 1, it is possible to instruct a direction that always matches the wind direction information as the wind direction. Thereby, a user can identify a wind direction intuitively. Moreover, by letting the wind information acquisition unit 73 acquire future wind direction information (ie, wind direction forecast), the user can intuitively identify the future wind direction corresponding to the current direction of the watch 1. . Therefore, convenience when the user uses the wind direction information is improved.

  In addition, since the wind direction can be intuitively identified for the user only by the sub display unit 92 of the display unit 90, the correction is made in comparison with the configuration in which the corrected wind direction information is displayed using the entire surface of the display unit. The power consumption required for displaying the wind direction information can be reduced.

  In addition, the display control unit 72 controls to display the corrected wind direction information based on the difference between the direction information with respect to the reference direction and the wind direction information with respect to the reference direction. As a result, the corrected wind direction information based on the angle formed by the direction information and the wind direction information is displayed, so that it is possible to always indicate the direction that matches the wind direction information as the wind direction regardless of the direction of the timepiece 1.

  In addition, the display unit 90 displays the dots 93 such that the display state of the dots 93 changes along the wind direction based on the corrected wind direction information according to the display elapsed time, and thus the display state of the dots 93 does not change. In comparison, the user can more intuitively identify the wind direction.

  Further, the display unit 90 displays the dots 93 such that the number of displayed dots 93 is increased or decreased according to the display elapsed time along the wind direction based on the corrected wind direction information. Compared with a configuration in which the number of dots 93 to be changed does not change according to the display elapsed time, the user can more intuitively identify the wind direction.

  Moreover, since the display unit 90 includes the sub display unit 92 that displays the corrected wind direction information and the main display unit 91 that displays the wind speed information, the user can be notified of the wind speed information in addition to the wind direction. . Therefore, convenience when the user uses the wind direction information is further improved.

  Further, since the azimuth acquisition unit 60 detects the azimuth, the azimuth that the timepiece 1 faces can be easily acquired as azimuth information. Moreover, since the wind information acquisition part 73 acquires wind direction information by the communication part 50, it can utilize the wind direction information which the information provider etc. which transmit weather information transmit. Thereby, accurate wind direction information including a forecast can be acquired. Therefore, the corrected wind direction information can be displayed more accurately as the wind direction. Therefore, convenience when the user uses the wind direction information is further improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the corrected wind direction information is displayed on the sub display unit 92, the dots 93 that are close to the windward dot group are hidden in order, but this is not a limitation, and the dots 93 that are close to the leeward dots are not displayed. May be hidden in order.

  The windward dot group is composed of a plurality of dots 93, and the leeward dot is composed of a single dot. However, the number of the windward dot group and the number of dots 93 constituting the leeward dot is not limited to this. . That is, it is only necessary to identify the upwind and the downwind of the corrected wind direction information in combination with the change in the display state of the dots 93.
