Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic timepiece and a pointer control method.

  In recent years, analog electronic timepieces that display a high degree of change have become widespread. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an electronic timepiece having an ascending rate mode for displaying the amount of change in altitude and a mode for displaying an altitude value by calculating the difference between two altitude values per unit time. ing.

Special table 2007-526467

  However, since the above-described conventional analog electronic timepiece displays only one of the change in altitude or the altitude per unit time, it is difficult for the user to check how much the altitude has changed from the starting point. It was.

  An object of the present invention is to display a change amount of altitude per unit time in an analog timepiece and to display a change in altitude from the first position to the current position.

  An electronic timepiece according to a preferred aspect (first aspect) of the present invention includes a display unit including a first hand and a second hand, and the display unit has an altitude change amount per unit time. A first scale indicated by the first pointer and a second scale indicated by the second pointer according to an altitude difference from the first position to the current position are provided.

  In the above aspect, the electronic timepiece displays the amount of change per unit time of the altitude by the first hand, and displays the difference in altitude from the first position to the current position of the electronic timepiece by the second hand. Therefore, according to the above aspect, the electronic timepiece can display the change amount per unit time of the altitude and also display the altitude difference as the altitude change from the first position to the current position. The electronic timepiece may display an altitude difference only when the value obtained by subtracting the first position from the current position is positive, or only when the value obtained by subtracting the first position from the current position is negative. The altitude difference may be displayed, or the absolute value of the altitude difference from the first position to the current position may be displayed.

  In a preferred example of the first aspect (second aspect), the pointer axis of the first pointer and the pointer axis of the second pointer are different from each other.

  Generally, if the pointer axis indicating the amount of change in altitude and the pointer axis indicating the altitude are the same, the user may misread the value indicated by the pointer. According to the above aspect, since the pointer axis of the first pointer and the pointer axis of the second pointer are different from each other, the user can change the amount of change per unit time indicated by the first pointer and the second pointer indicates The altitude difference from the first position to the current position can be easily determined.

  In a preferred example (third aspect) of the first aspect or the second aspect, the atmospheric pressure sensor, the first atmospheric pressure at the first position measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor, and the atmospheric pressure at the current position measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor. And a calculation unit for calculating the difference in altitude.

In the above aspect, when converting from atmospheric pressure to altitude, it can be obtained by substituting the first atmospheric pressure measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor and the atmospheric pressure at the current position into a conversion equation for converting atmospheric pressure to altitude. As another method for calculating the altitude difference, for example, there are the following two methods. In the first method, the electronic timepiece calculates a first position and a current position from a satellite signal obtained from a position information satellite such as a GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite, and calculates the height-wise distance between the calculated positions. Calculate as the difference. In the second method, the electronic timepiece extracts the acceleration in the height direction from the acceleration in the three-axis direction obtained from the three-axis acceleration sensor, and calculates the height difference by performing second-order integration on the extracted acceleration.
In the first method, in order to calculate the position, satellite signals are received from at least four satellites, and values of four variables such as latitude, longitude, altitude, and time must be obtained. More processing load than method. In the second method, since it is necessary to continuously measure acceleration from the first position to the current position, the processing load is higher than the method according to the third aspect. As described above, according to the third aspect, it is possible to reduce the processing load on the electronic timepiece as compared with the first method and the second method.

Furthermore, since the user can confirm the sign of the altitude difference, it is possible to confirm whether the current position is higher or lower than the first position.

  In a preferred example (fifth aspect) of the first to fourth aspects, the number of the second pointers is two or more.

  In order to display a value of a plurality of digits with one pointer, a large scale with numbers indicating the values of the plurality of digits is required. For example, if a two-digit value is displayed, a scale indicating “0” to “99” is required. On the other hand, according to the above-described aspect, since each of the two or more second pointers indicates the value of each digit of the altitude difference, a scale indicating “0” to “9” may be used. , The scale size can be reduced as compared with the case where “0” to “99” are indicated. Therefore, in the above-described aspect, it is possible to display values of a plurality of digits of altitude difference while reducing the size of the scale.

In the example of FIG. 1, the 10 o'clock side information display unit 40 indicates that the elevation is −3 m / sec.

  In the lift display mode, in addition to the lift, the altitude difference from the measurement start point (example of “first position”) to the current position of the electronic timepiece W (hereinafter simply referred to as “current position”) is displayed. Can do. The measurement start point may be any position, but is, for example, a departure point. The altitude difference between the measurement start point and the current position can be restated as the altitude at the current position when the measurement start point is 0 m. When the operation mode is set to the elevation setting mode, the center pointer 13 instructs the altitude difference from the measurement start point to the current position using the scale 14c. In general, if the pointer indicating the change in altitude and the pointer indicating the altitude are the same pointer axis, the user may misread the value indicated by the pointer. However, as shown in FIG. 1, since the pointer axis of the center pointer 13 and the pointer axis of the small second hand 41 are different from each other, the user can change the altitude difference from the measurement start point indicated by the center pointer 13 to the current position and the small second hand. It is possible to easily determine the degree of elevation indicated by 41.

When the operation button A is pressed several times by the user and the mode pointer 21 indicates the character string 23c, the electronic timepiece W sets the operation mode to the compass mode.

  When the operation mode is set to the compass mode, the display unit 10 is arranged so that the center pointer 13 faces true north based on the magnetic north direction measured by the three-axis magnetic sensor 3 (see FIG. 7). The pointer 13 is controlled. Since the magnetic north orientation is deviated from the true north by a declination, the electronic timepiece W is preferably corrected so as to remove the declination deviation from the magnetic north orientation.

  In the compass mode, when the crown D is pulled out by one step, the deflection angle can be set. Specifically, when the one-step pull-out operation of the crown D is performed, the small second hand 41 indicates the positive sign 43p if the current deflection angle is the east deviation, and the negative sign 43m if the current deflection angle is the west deviation. Instruct. Further, the numerical display long hand 33 indicates the value of the hundredth digit of the current deflection angle, and the center pointer 13 is used as the value of the tens digit and the value of the first digit of the current deflection angle. The When the rotation operation of the crown D is received after the crown D is pulled out, the small second hand 41, the numerical display long hand 33, and the center pointer 13 are rotated according to the rotation operation of the crown D.

The frequency of the clock signal is divided, and the clock signal having a frequency of 1 Hz is input to the control unit 6. The GPS receiver 2 receives a satellite signal from a GPS satellite that is one of position information satellites. The triaxial magnetic sensor 3 measures magnetic north. The atmospheric pressure sensor 4 measures the atmospheric pressure around the electronic timepiece W.

  The storage unit 5 is a readable / writable nonvolatile recording medium. The storage unit 5 is, for example, a flash memory. The storage unit 5 is not limited to the flash memory and can be changed as appropriate. The storage unit 5 stores, for example, a program executed by the control unit 6.

  The control unit 6 is, for example, a computer such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The control unit 6 controls the entire electronic timepiece W. The configuration of the control unit 6 will be described with reference to FIG.

A. 2. Configuration of Control Unit 6 According to First Embodiment FIG. 8 shows a configuration diagram of the control unit 6. The control unit 6 reads and executes the program stored in the storage unit 5, thereby causing the display control unit 61, the elevation calculation unit 62, the atmospheric pressure tendency calculation unit 63, and the altitude difference calculation unit 64 (“calculation unit”). And the azimuth calculation unit 65 are realized. Hereinafter, the configuration of the control unit 6 will be described for each of the elevation display mode, the compass mode, and the atmospheric pressure display mode.

A. 2.1. Configuration of the Control Unit 6 in the Elevation Level Display Mode In the elevation level display mode, the elevation level calculation unit 62 acquires the atmospheric pressure measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor 4 every second in order to display the elevation level. The elevation calculation unit 62 calculates the altitude from the acquired atmospheric pressure according to the equation (1).

  ALT = 153.8 × (t0 + 273.2) × (1- (acquired atmospheric pressure / P0) ^ 0.1902) + manual offset value (1)

  t0 is a reference temperature, which is 15 degrees. P0 is a reference atmospheric pressure and is 101.25 hPa. ALT indicates altitude. The calculated altitude unit is m (meters). The manual offset value is a value that can be set by the user. The reason why the manual offset value is provided is that the accuracy of the calculated altitude may be deteriorated because only the first term on the right side of the equation (1) becomes a high pressure or a low pressure depending on the season or climate. Therefore, before setting the coordinates of the destination Dst, the electronic timepiece W calculates the altitude at a position where the actual altitude is known by setting the manual offset value of the equation (1) to 0. Thereafter, the user sets a value obtained by subtracting the calculated altitude from the actual altitude as the manual offset value. As a result, the electronic timepiece W can obtain a more accurate altitude as compared with the case where the manual offset value is zero.

  The elevation calculation unit 62 stores the calculated altitude in the storage unit 5. Furthermore, the elevation calculation unit 62 calculates a value obtained by subtracting the one-second previous altitude stored in the storage unit 5 from the calculated altitude. The unit of elevation is m / second. The elevation calculation unit 62 outputs the calculated elevation to the display control unit 61. The display control unit 61 controls the small second hand 41 so as to display the acquired elevation degree.

  Further, in order to display the altitude difference from the measurement start point to the current position in the elevation display mode, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 includes the atmospheric pressure at the measurement start point (example of “first atmospheric pressure”) and the atmospheric pressure sensor 4. The altitude difference from the measurement start point to the current position is calculated based on the measured atmospheric pressure at the current position of the electronic timepiece W. There are, for example, the following two methods for calculating the altitude difference from the measurement start point to the current position. As a first method, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 stores the atmospheric pressure at the measurement start point acquired from the atmospheric pressure sensor 4 in the storage unit 5 at the measurement start point. Next, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 acquires the atmospheric pressure at the current position from the atmospheric pressure sensor 4 at the current position, and calculates the altitude difference from the measurement start point to the current position according to the following equation (2).

  ΔALT = 153.8 × (t0 + 273.2) × ((1− (atmospheric pressure at current position / P0) ^ 0.1902) − (1− (atmospheric pressure at measurement start point / P0) ^ 0.1902)) (2 )

  ΔALT is the altitude difference from the measurement start point to the current position.

  In the second method, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 calculates the altitude at the measurement start point from the atmospheric pressure at the measurement start point acquired from the atmospheric pressure sensor 4 using the equation (1) at the measurement start point, and calculates the measurement. The altitude at the start point is stored in the storage unit 5. Next, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 acquires the atmospheric pressure at the current position from the atmospheric pressure sensor 4 at the current position, and calculates the altitude at the current position using the equation (1). Then, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 calculates a value obtained by subtracting the altitude at the measurement start point stored in the storage unit 5 from the calculated altitude at the current position as an altitude difference from the measurement start point to the current position. Below, it demonstrates using the example from which the height difference calculation part 64 calculates a height difference by a 1st method. The altitude difference calculation unit 64 outputs the calculated altitude difference to the display control unit 61. The display control unit 61 controls the center pointer 13 so as to display the acquired altitude difference.

  There are the following three methods for displaying the altitude difference. In the first method, the display control unit 61 displays the altitude difference only when the value obtained by subtracting the measurement start position from the current position, that is, when the altitude difference is positive. When the altitude difference is 0 or less, the display control unit 61 displays the altitude difference as 0. In the second method, the display control unit 61 displays the altitude difference when the altitude difference is negative. When the altitude difference is 0 or more, the display control unit 61 displays the altitude difference as 0. In the third method, the display control unit 61 displays the absolute value of the altitude difference.

A. 2.2. Configuration of Control Unit 6 in Compass Mode In the compass mode, the azimuth calculation unit 65 acquires the azimuth of magnetic north measured by the three-axis magnetic sensor 3. The bearing calculation unit 65 calculates the bearing of true north based on the acquired magnetic north. The direction calculation unit 65 outputs the calculated true north direction to the display control unit 61. The display control unit 61 controls the center pointer 13 so that the center pointer 13 faces the acquired true north direction.

A. 2.3. Configuration of the control unit 6 in the atmospheric pressure display mode In the atmospheric pressure display mode, the atmospheric pressure tendency calculation unit 63 acquires the atmospheric pressure measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor 4 every second. The atmospheric pressure tendency calculation unit 63 stores the acquired atmospheric pressure in the storage unit 5. Further, the atmospheric pressure tendency calculation unit 63 outputs the acquired atmospheric pressure to the display control unit 61. Furthermore, the atmospheric pressure tendency calculation unit 63 calculates a value obtained by subtracting the atmospheric pressure one second before stored in the storage unit 5 from the acquired atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric pressure tendency calculation unit 63 calculates that the atmospheric pressure tendency is positive if the calculated value is positive, and calculates that the atmospheric pressure tendency is negative if the calculated value is negative. The atmospheric pressure trend calculation unit 63 outputs the calculated atmospheric pressure trend to the display control unit 61.

  The display control unit 61 controls the numerical display short hand 32, the numerical display long hand 33, and the center pointer 13 so as to indicate the acquired atmospheric pressure. Further, the display control unit 61 controls the small second hand 41 so as to indicate the calculated atmospheric pressure tendency.

A. 3. Flowchart of each operation mode Each of the elevation display mode and the atmospheric pressure display mode will be described using specific flowcharts.

A. 3.1. FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of the elevation display mode. When the operation button A is pressed several times by the user and the mode pointer 21 indicates the character string 23b, the electronic timepiece W sets the operation mode to the elevation display mode. In the elevation display mode, the control unit 6 controls the hour hand 11 and the minute hand 12 to display the current time, controls the center pointer 13 to stop at the 12 o'clock position, and instructs “0”. The numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 are controlled.

  When the operation mode is set to the elevation display mode, the control unit 6 detects a pressing operation of the operation button B for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) or more (step S1). The predetermined time is not limited to 3 seconds and can be changed as appropriate. When the pressing operation for a predetermined time or longer is detected, the lift calculation unit 62 starts calculating the lift. Next, the elevation calculation unit 62 acquires the atmospheric pressure measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor 4, and calculates the elevation according to the equation (1) (step S2). Then, the display control unit 61 controls the small second hand 41 so as to indicate the calculated elevation degree (step S3). In addition, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 calculates the altitude difference of the current position from the measurement start position according to the equation (2) (step S4). And the display control part 61 controls the center pointer | guide 13 so that the calculated height difference may be instruct | indicated (step S5).

  Next, the control unit 6 determines whether one minute has elapsed since the operation mode was set to the elevation display mode or whether a pressing operation of the operation button B was detected (step S6). If one minute has not elapsed and the pressing operation of the operation button B has not been detected (step S6: No), the elevation calculation unit 62 performs the process of step S2 one second after the previous execution. Run. On the other hand, when one minute has passed or the pressing operation of the operation button B is detected (step S6: Yes), the control unit 6 ends the series of processes.

A. 3.2. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the atmospheric pressure display mode. When the user presses the operation button A several times and the mode pointer 21 indicates the character string 23d, the electronic timepiece W sets the operation mode to the atmospheric pressure display mode. When the operation mode is set to the atmospheric pressure display mode, the control unit 6 detects a pressing operation of the operation button B for a predetermined time or longer (step S11). When a pressing operation for a predetermined time or longer is detected, the atmospheric pressure tendency calculation unit 63 starts calculating atmospheric pressure and atmospheric pressure tendency. Next, the atmospheric pressure tendency calculation unit 63 calculates the atmospheric pressure and the atmospheric pressure tendency (step S12). Then, the display control unit 61 controls the numerical display short hand 32, the numerical display long hand 33, and the center pointer 13 so as to indicate the calculated atmospheric pressure (step S13). Further, the display control unit 61 controls the small second hand 41 so as to indicate the calculated atmospheric pressure tendency (step S14).

  Then, the control unit 6 determines whether one minute has elapsed since the operation mode was set to the atmospheric pressure display mode, or whether the pressing operation of the operation button B has been detected (step S15). When one minute has not elapsed and the pressing operation of the operation button B has not been detected (step S15: No), the atmospheric pressure tendency calculation unit 63 performs the process of step S12 one second after the previous execution. Run. On the other hand, when one minute has elapsed or when the pressing operation of the operation button B is detected (step S15: Yes), the control unit 6 ends the series of processes.

A. 4). Effects of the First Embodiment As described above, the electronic timepiece W displays the elevation degree by the small second hand 41 and the altitude difference from the measurement start point to the current position by the center pointer 13. Therefore, the user can check the altitude difference from the measurement start point to the current position along with the elevation. For example, a glider, which is a type of air sports, generally needs to return to the starting point. When the user is on the glider and returns to the departure point, it is possible to check how high the current position is from the departure point by viewing the center pointer 13.
For example, when the user is performing air sports such as paragliding or hang gliding, it is important to obtain the elevation. An important reason is that the user can use the ascending / descending degree determined to search for an updraft or to avoid a downdraft. Even users who do not perform air sports may be interested in knowing the degree of elevation when they are on a high-speed elevator. In this case, the electronic timepiece W can notify the user of the elevation degree.

Further, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 calculates the altitude difference by substituting the atmospheric pressure measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor 4 into the equation (1) or (2). As other methods for calculating the altitude difference other than Equation (1) or Equation (2), for example, there are the following two methods. In the first method, the electronic timepiece W calculates a measurement start position and a current position from a satellite signal obtained from a position information satellite such as a GPS satellite, and calculates a height direction distance between the calculated positions as an altitude difference. . In the second method, the electronic timepiece W calculates the height difference by extracting the acceleration in the height direction from the acceleration in the three-axis direction obtained from the three-axis acceleration sensor, and performing second-order integration on the extracted acceleration.
In the first method, in order to calculate a position, satellite signals are received from at least four satellites, and values of four variables such as latitude, longitude, altitude, and time must be obtained. More processing load than method. In the second method, since it is necessary to continuously measure acceleration from the measurement start position to the current position, the processing load is higher than the method according to the present embodiment. As described above, the electronic timepiece W can reduce the processing load on the electronic timepiece W as compared with the first method and the second method.

  Further, as described in FIG. 1, the numerical color of the measurement result is white. On the other hand, the time symbol color is orange. The symbol background color is black. Thus, the brightness difference between the measurement result numeral color and the symbol background color is larger than the brightness difference between the time symbol color and the symbol background color. In general, the greater the difference in brightness between the foreground color and the background color, the easier it is to see the foreground color. Comparing the measurement result with the time, the measurement result is more important information. Therefore, the electronic timepiece W can make it easier to see the numbers indicating at least a part of the measurement result more important than the time. The lightness is an index representing the brightness of the color, and can be represented by a numerical value from 0 to 10 with whiteness having a reflectance of 100% as lightness 10. The brightness can be measured with a colorimeter or a spectrocolorimeter.

  Further, the color difference between the measurement result numeral color and the symbol background color is larger than the color difference between the time symbol color and the symbol background color. Here, the color difference between the first color and the second color is obtained by, for example, the following equation (3).

  Color difference = ((R2-R1) ^ 2 + (G2-G1) ^ 2 + (B2-B1) ^ 2) ^ 0.5 (3)

  R1, G1, and B1 are a red element of the first color, a green element of the first color, and a blue element of the first color, respectively. Similarly, R2, G2, and B2 are a red element of the second color, a green element of the second color, and a blue element of the second color, respectively. The color difference can be calculated from the values of R1, G1, B1, R2, G2, and B2 measured with a spectrocolorimeter or a color difference meter.

  Generally, the greater the color difference between the foreground color and the background color, the easier it is to distinguish the foreground color from the background color, and the foreground color becomes easier to see. Therefore, the electronic timepiece W can make it easier to see the numbers indicating at least a part of the measurement result more important than the time.

  In addition, as described in FIG. 1, the measurement result pointer color is white. On the other hand, the time indicator color is orange. Thus, the brightness difference between the measurement result indicator color and the symbol background color is larger than the brightness difference between the time indicator color and the symbol background color. Therefore, the electronic timepiece W can make the tip of the pointer related to the measurement result more important than the time easier to see.

  Further, the color difference between the measurement result indicator color and the symbol background color is larger than the color difference between the time indicator color and the symbol background color. Therefore, the electronic timepiece W can make the tip of the pointer related to the measurement result more important than the time easier to see.

B. Second Embodiment In the elevation display mode in the second embodiment, instead of the altitude difference from the current position from the measurement start point, the accumulated altitude change amount from the measurement start point is displayed. The cumulative altitude change amount includes a cumulative value of the altitude increase amount (hereinafter referred to as “cumulative increase amount”) and a cumulative value of the altitude decrease amount (hereinafter referred to as “cumulative decrease amount”). Hereinafter, a second embodiment will be described. In addition, about the element which an effect | action and function are the same as 1st Embodiment in each form and each modification illustrated below, the detailed description of each is abbreviate | omitted suitably using the code | symbol used in 1st Embodiment. To do. Furthermore, the following elements are assumed to be elements relating to the second embodiment, unless otherwise specified, for the sake of omitting the description.

B. 1. Configuration of Control Unit 6 in Elevation Level Display Mode In the elevation level display mode, the accumulated altitude change amount at the current position from the measurement start point can be displayed in addition to the elevation level. An example of the cumulative altitude change amount is shown using FIG.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of the accumulated altitude change amount. In FIG. 11, the accumulated altitude change amount from the departure point Dep, which is a measurement start point, to the destination Dst as the current position is shown. As shown in FIG. 11, it is assumed that the user has reached the destination Dst from the departure point Dep via the point P1, the point P2, the point P3, and the point P4. The user rises from the departure point Dep to the point P1. Similarly, the user descends from point P1 to point P2, the user rises from point P2 to point P3, the user descends from point P3 to point P4, and from point P4 to destination Up to Dst, the users are rising.

  The altitude difference calculation unit 64 calculates a cumulative increase amount and a cumulative decrease amount as the cumulative altitude change amount. In the case of FIG. 11, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 calculates ΔALTI1 + ΔALTI2 + ΔALTI3 as the cumulative increase amount. In addition, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 calculates ΔALTD1 + ΔALTD2 as the cumulative descending amount. Then, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 outputs the calculated cumulative increase amount and cumulative decrease amount to the display control unit 61. The display control unit 61 controls the center pointer 13 to instruct the scale 14c according to the acquired cumulative increase amount. Further, the display control unit 61 controls the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 so as to instruct the scale 31a according to the acquired cumulative descending amount. At this time, since the position of the pointer shaft of the center pointer 13 and the position of the pointer shaft of the small second hand 41 are different from each other, the user can calculate the accumulated altitude change indicated by the center pointer 13 and the elevation degree indicated by the small second hand 41. It can be easily distinguished.

B. 2. Operation Mode Flowchart The elevation display mode will be described using a specific flowchart.

B. 2.1. FIG. 12 shows a flowchart of the elevation display mode. When the operation button A is pressed several times by the user and the mode pointer 21 indicates the character string 23b, the electronic timepiece W sets the operation mode to the elevation display mode. In the elevation display mode, the control unit 6 controls the hour hand 11 and the minute hand 12 to display the current time, controls the center pointer 13 to stop at the 12 o'clock position, and instructs “0”. The numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 are controlled.

  When the operation mode is set to the elevation display mode, the control unit 6 detects the pressing operation of the operation button B for a predetermined time (step S21). When the pressing operation for a predetermined time or longer is detected, the lift calculation unit 62 starts calculating the lift. Next, the elevation calculation unit 62 acquires the atmospheric pressure measured by the atmospheric pressure sensor 4, and calculates the elevation according to the equation (1) (step S22). Then, the display control unit 61 controls the small second hand 41 so as to indicate the calculated elevation degree (step S23). Also, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 calculates the altitude difference of the current position from the measurement start position (step S24). Then, the display control unit 61 controls the center pointer 13 so as to instruct the calculated cumulative elevation degree (step S25). Further, the display control unit 61 controls the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 so as to indicate the calculated cumulative lowering degree (step S26).

  Next, the control unit 6 determines whether one minute has elapsed since the operation mode was set to the elevation display mode or whether a pressing operation of the operation button B was detected (step S27). When one minute has not elapsed and the pressing operation of the operation button B has not been detected (step S27: No), the elevation calculation unit 62 performs the process of step S2 one second after the previous execution. Run. On the other hand, when one minute has elapsed or the pressing operation of the operation button B is detected (step S27: Yes), the control unit 6 ends the series of processes.

B. 3. Effects of Second Embodiment As described above, the small second hand 41 indicates the scale 42m, the scale 42p, or the scale 42z according to the degree of elevation, and the center pointer 13 indicates the scale 14c according to the cumulative amount of increase. The numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 indicate the scale 31a according to the cumulative descending amount. As described above, the user can confirm the cumulative increase amount and the cumulative decrease amount together with the elevation degree. For example, when the user is on the glider, the user can confirm whether the user is currently climbing or descending by confirming the degree of elevation. Further, by confirming the cumulative amount of increase, the user can confirm how much the ascending airflow was captured and increased from the start of measurement to the present.

C. Third Embodiment In the third embodiment, an altitude difference from the current position to the target altitude can be displayed. Hereinafter, the third embodiment will be described. In addition, about the element which an effect | action and function are the same as 1st Embodiment in each form and each modification illustrated below, the detailed description of each is abbreviate | omitted suitably using the code | symbol used in 1st Embodiment. To do.

  FIG. 13 shows a plan view of an electronic timepiece W according to the third embodiment. Compared to the electronic timepiece W in the first embodiment, the electronic timepiece W in the third embodiment has no compass mode, and displays a target altitude setting mode in which the target altitude is set, and an altitude difference from the current position to the target altitude. Altitude difference display mode. The following elements are assumed to be elements relating to the third embodiment unless otherwise specified for the sake of brevity.

  The scale 22 includes a character string 23a “TIME” representing a time display mode, a character string 23b “ALT” representing an elevation display mode, a character string 23d “BAR” representing an atmospheric pressure display mode, and an altitude difference display mode. A character string 23e “ΔALT” representing the character string and a character string 23f “DEST” representing the target altitude setting mode are arranged.

C. 1.1. Overview of Target Altitude Setting Mode In the target altitude setting mode, the electronic timepiece W can set the target altitude. When the operation button A is pressed several times by the user and the mode pointer 21 indicates the character string 23f, the electronic timepiece W sets the operation mode to the target altitude setting mode.

  When the operation mode is set to the target altitude setting mode and the operation button B is continuously pressed for a predetermined time or more, the electronic timepiece W receives a numerical value of the target altitude from the user. The electronic timepiece W stores the numerical value of the target altitude in the storage unit 5.

C. 1.2. Overview of Altitude Difference Display Mode In the altitude difference display mode, the electronic timepiece W displays the altitude difference. When the operation button A is pressed several times by the user and the mode pointer 21 indicates the character string 23e, the electronic timepiece W sets the operation mode to the altitude difference display mode.

  When the operation mode is set to the target altitude setting mode, the electronic timepiece W displays the altitude difference from the current position to the target altitude. More specifically, the center indicator 13 indicates the value of the thousandth and hundredths of the height difference, the numerical display short hand 32 indicates the value of the tens of the height difference, and the numerical display long hand. 33 indicates the most significant value of the altitude difference. Further, the small second hand 41 uses the scale 43 to indicate the sign of the altitude difference. Thus, the elevation display mode and the target altitude setting mode share the positive sign 43p and the negative sign 43m.

C. 2. Flowchart of Each Operation Mode The target altitude setting mode and altitude difference display mode will be described using specific flowcharts.

C. 2.1. Flowchart of Target Altitude Setting Mode FIG. 14 shows a flowchart of the target altitude setting mode. When the operation mode is set to the target altitude setting mode, the display control unit 61 controls the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 so that the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 indicate “0” on the scale 31a. . When the operation mode is set to the target altitude setting mode, the control unit 6 detects a pressing operation of the operation button B for a predetermined time or longer (step S31). When the pressing operation for a predetermined time or more is detected, the display control unit 61 turns the center pointer 13 toward the 12 o'clock direction to notify the user of the start of the destination setting operation, and then the center pointer 13 turns toward the 12 o'clock direction again. The center pointer 13 is rotated until the center pointer 13 is rotated.

  The control unit 6 accepts a one-step drawer operation of the crown D (step S32). The input of the target altitude is started by accepting the one-step pull-out operation of the crown D.

  The control unit 6 receives a rotation operation of the crown D (step S33). The display control unit 61 controls the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 so as to indicate the target altitude according to the rotation operation by the scale 31 a indicated by the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33. The 2 o'clock side information display unit 30 represents the target altitude in units of 100 m, for example. In the example of FIG. 13, the target altitude is 600 m. When the user rotates the crown D according to the target altitude, the user pushes the crown D.

  The control unit 6 accepts a pushing operation of the crown D (step S34). When the pushing operation of the crown D is received, the control unit 6 sets a value based on the amount of rotation of the crown D from the time when the first pulling operation of the crown D is accepted to the time when the pushing operation of the crown D is accepted as the target altitude. Obtain (step S35). The control unit 6 stores the acquired target altitude in the storage unit 5 (step S36). After the process of step S36 ends, the control unit 6 ends a series of processes.

C. 2.2. Flow chart of altitude difference display mode FIG. 15 shows a flowchart of the altitude difference display mode. When the operation mode is set to the altitude difference display mode, the control unit 6 calculates the altitude from the atmospheric pressure acquired from the atmospheric pressure sensor 4 using the equation (1) (step S41). The control unit 6 calculates an altitude difference obtained by subtracting the calculated altitude from the target altitude stored in the storage unit 5 (step S42). The display control unit 61 controls the center pointer 13, the numerical display short hand 32, and the numerical display long hand 33 so as to indicate the absolute value of the calculated altitude difference (step S43). In addition, the display control unit 61 controls the small second hand 41 so as to indicate the sign of the calculated altitude difference (step S44). After the process of step S44 ends, the control unit 6 ends the series of processes.

D. Modifications The above embodiments can be variously modified. Specific modifications are exemplified below. Two or more aspects arbitrarily selected from the following examples can be appropriately combined within a range that does not contradict each other. In addition, about the element which an effect | action and a function are equivalent to embodiment in the modification illustrated below, the code | symbol referred by the above description is diverted and each detailed description is abbreviate | omitted suitably.

D. 1. First Modification In the compass mode in each of the above embodiments, a true north direction could be indicated. On the other hand, in the compass mode in the first modified example, in addition to indicating the direction of true north, it is possible to indicate the azimuth of the waypoint Wpt (see FIG. 19) and the distance from the current position to the waypoint Wpt. The waypoint Wpt is point information on a route in navigation, and is, for example, a position registered in advance in the storage unit 5. For example, when the user makes a business trip, the electronic timepiece W registers the location of the hotel serving as the user's accommodation in the waypoint Wpt by the user's operation. When the user goes out of the hotel and returns to the hotel, the electronic timepiece W indicates the azimuth of the hotel position as the waypoint Wpt and the distance from the current position to the hotel position by the compass mode. Can do.
Furthermore, in the first modification, it is possible to set a displayable range of the distance from the current position to the waypoint Wpt. The displayable range is hereinafter referred to as “range”. More specifically, in the first modified example, the electronic timepiece W has a distance range to the waypoint Wpt, a first range of 0 m or more and less than 10 km, a second range of 0 m or more and less than 100 km, and a range of 0 m to less than 1000 km. It can be set to any of the third ranges.

  FIG. 16 is a plan view of an electronic timepiece W according to the first modification. The following elements are assumed to be elements relating to the first modification unless otherwise specified, for the sake of brevity. FIG. 16 shows an enlarged region EnReg1 obtained by enlarging the region Reg1.

  As shown in the enlarged region EnReg1, the display unit 10 includes a 7 o'clock side information display unit 70. The 7 o'clock side information display unit 70 includes a part of the dial 10a.

The 7 o'clock side information display unit 70 has a scale 71. The scale 71 shows a plurality of powers of 10 that can be instructed by the center pointer 13. Specifically, a number “100”, a number “1000”, and a number “10000” are arranged on the scale 71 as numbers indicating a plurality of powers of 10. Hereinafter, the power of 10 indicated on the scale 71 is referred to as “range value”. When the center pointer 13 indicates the first range value “100”, the 7 o'clock side information display unit 70 indicates that the current range is the first range. When the center pointer 13 indicates the second range value “1000”, the 7 o'clock side information display unit 70 indicates that the current range is the second range. When the center pointer 13 indicates the third range value “10000”, the 7 o'clock side information display unit 70 indicates that the current range is the third range.
In the following, for simplification of description, the next range after the first range is the second range, the next range after the second range is the third range, and the next range after the third range is the first range.

  Since the numbers in the scale 71 are used for setting the range, they are not used for indicating the measurement result and are not related to the time. Therefore, the number in the scale 71 can be either white or orange. In the first modification, the number in the scale 71 is orange.

  In the example of FIG. 16, since the center pointer 13 indicates the number “100”, it indicates that the current range is the first range. When the current range is the first range, each number on the scale 31 a is used as the value of the first digit of “km” with respect to the numerical display short hand 32, and “m” with respect to the numerical display long hand 33. Used as the value of hundreds of digits. Similarly, when the current range is the second range, each number on the scale 31 a is used as the value of the tenth digit of “km” with respect to the numerical display short hand 32, and to the numerical display long hand 33. Used as the value of the first digit of “km”. Similarly, when the current range is the third range, each number on the scale 31 a is used as the value of the hundreds digit of “km” with respect to the numerical display short hand 32, and Used as the decimal place value of “km”.

D. 1.1. Outline of Compass Mode In the compass mode, the electronic timepiece W can indicate the direction of true north as well as the direction and distance to the waypoint Wpt. When the operation mode is set to the compass mode, the display unit 10 controls the center pointer 13 so that the center pointer 13 faces true north based on the magnetic north direction measured by the three-axis magnetic sensor 3. .

  Further, the display unit 10 indicates the direction of the waypoint Wpt according to the direction of the small second hand 41. Further, the display unit 10 indicates the distance of the waypoint Wpt by the numerical values indicated by the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33.

D. 1.2. Configuration of Control Unit 6 According to First Modification FIG. 17 shows a configuration diagram of the control unit 6. The control unit 6 reads and executes the program stored in the storage unit 5, thereby causing the display control unit 61, the elevation calculation unit 62, the atmospheric pressure trend calculation unit 63, the azimuth calculation unit 65, and the range setting unit 66. And the present position calculation part 67 is implement | achieved. Hereinafter, the configuration of the control unit 6 will be described for the compass mode.

D. 1.2.1. Configuration of Control Unit 6 in Compass Mode In the compass mode, the range setting unit 66 sets a range. Specifically, the range setting unit 66 acquires the current range from the storage unit 5. When the current range is not set, the range setting unit 66 acquires the initial value of the range stored in the storage unit 5. The range setting unit 66 outputs the acquired range to the display control unit 61. The display control unit 61 controls the center pointer 13 so as to indicate the range value of the acquired range.
Next, the range setting unit 66 sets a range according to the number of pressing operations of the operation button A for a predetermined time or more. For example, when the operation button A is pressed once for a predetermined time or longer, the range setting unit 66 sets the range to the next range after the current range. When the range is set, the range setting unit 66 outputs the set range to the display control unit 61. The display control unit 61 controls the center pointer 13 so as to indicate the range value of the set range.

  The current position calculation unit 67 acquires a satellite signal from the GPS receiver 2 and calculates the coordinates of the current position based on the acquired satellite signal. The current position calculation unit 67 outputs the calculated coordinates of the current position to the display control unit 61.

  The display control unit 61 calculates the distance from the current position to the waypoint Wpt and the azimuth angle of the waypoint Wpt from the coordinates of the position registered in advance in the storage unit 5 and the coordinates of the current position calculated by the current position calculation unit 67. Is calculated.

The display control unit 61 instructs the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 to indicate the value of the scale 31a according to the first value obtained by dividing the distance from the current position to the waypoint Wpt by the current range value. Control. Under the control of the display control unit 61, the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 indicate the numerical value of the scale 31a according to the first value. Specifically, the display control unit 61 indicates the tenth digit value of the first value with the numerical value display short hand 32 and indicates the first digit value with the numerical value display long hand 33. For example, it is assumed that the calculated distance is 1200 m and the current range value is “100”. In this case, since the first value obtained by dividing 1200 by 100 is 12, the display control unit 61 controls the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 so that the numerical display short hand 32 indicates “1”. The numerical display long hand 33 indicates “2”.
The calculated azimuth angle is the azimuth angle of the waypoint Wpt in the global coordinate system. Therefore, the display control unit 61 converts the true north calculated by the azimuth calculation unit 65 into the azimuth angle of the waypoint Wpt in the local coordinate system of the electronic timepiece W. The display control unit 61 controls the small second hand 41 according to the direction of the small second hand 41 so as to indicate the converted azimuth angle.

D. 1.3. Operation Mode Flowchart The compass mode will be described using a specific flowchart.

D. 1.3.1. Compass Mode Flowchart FIG. 18 shows a compass mode flowchart. When the operation button A is pressed several times by the user and the mode pointer 21 indicates the character string 23c, the electronic timepiece W sets the operation mode to the compass mode. When the operation mode is set to the compass mode, the control unit 6 accepts the one-step pull-out operation of the crown D (step S51). When the display control unit 61 receives the operation of pulling out the crown D, the display control unit 61 controls the center pointer 13 so as to instruct the range value of the current range (step S52).

  The control unit 6 determines whether or not a pressing operation of the operation button A for a predetermined time or longer is detected (step S53). When the pressing operation of the operation button A for a predetermined time or longer is detected (step S53: Yes), the display control unit 61 controls the center pointer 13 so as to indicate the range value of the next range (step S54). After the process of step S54, or when the pressing operation of the operation button A for a predetermined time or longer is not detected (step S53: No), the control unit 6 determines whether or not the operation of pushing the crown D is detected. (Step S55). When the pushing operation of the crown D is not detected (step S55: No), the control unit 6 returns the process to step S53.

  On the other hand, when the pushing operation of the crown D is detected (step S55: Yes), the range setting unit 66 sets the range of the range value currently instructed by the center pointer 13 as the current range (step S56). Next, the control unit 6 accepts a pressing operation for a predetermined time or more of the operation button B (step S57). When a pressing operation of the operation button B for a predetermined time or more is accepted, the current position calculation unit 67 starts calculating the coordinates of the current position, and the direction calculation unit 65 starts calculating the true north direction. Then, the current position calculation unit 67 calculates the coordinates of the current position (step S58). Further, the azimuth calculating unit 65 calculates the true north azimuth based on the geomagnetic direction measured by the triaxial magnetic sensor 3 (step S59). The display control unit 61 controls the center pointer 13 to indicate the true north direction (step S60).

  Then, the display control unit 61 calculates the distance from the current position to the waypoint Wpt based on the coordinates of the current position and the coordinates of the waypoint Wpt stored in the storage unit 5 (step S61). Further, the display control unit 61 calculates the azimuth angle of the waypoint Wpt in the local coordinate system of the electronic timepiece W based on the coordinates of the current position, the coordinates of the waypoint Wpt, and the true north azimuth (step S62). The display control unit 61 controls the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 so as to indicate the calculated distance according to the set range (step S63). Further, the display control unit 61 controls the small second hand 41 so as to indicate the azimuth angle of the waypoint Wpt (step S64). After the process of step S64 ends, the control unit 6 ends the series of processes. The directions of the numerical display short hand 32, the numerical display long hand 33, the center pointer 13 and the small second hand 41 in the compass mode will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 19 shows an example of the direction of the pointer in the compass mode. Through the processing in step S59, the center pointer 13 indicates the true north direction. In addition, the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 indicate the calculated distance L by the process of step S62. In addition, the small second hand 41 indicates the calculated azimuth angle ψ by the process of step S64.

D. 1.4. Effect of First Modification As described above, the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 indicate the numerical value of the scale 31a according to the value obtained by dividing the distance from the current position to the waypoint Wpt by the current range value. Instruct. Thereby, the electronic timepiece W can increase the numerical value that can be displayed by using the scale 31a by appropriately changing the range as compared with the case where the range is not changed. For example, it is assumed that the distance from the current position to the waypoint Wpt is 10 km or more and less than 100 km, and the range value is set to “100”. In this assumption, since the range value is “100” and exceeds the displayable numerical value, the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 indicate the number “0” on the scale 31a and indicate the correct distance. I can't. Therefore, the electronic timepiece W sets the range value to “10000” by the user's operation, so that the numerical value display short hand 32 and the numerical value display long hand 33 have the appropriate scale 31a corresponding to the distance from the current position to the waypoint Wpt. It becomes possible to indicate a correct number.
The user can browse the numerical values indicated by the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 and appropriately determine, for example, whether to walk to the waypoint Wpt or move by taxi.

D. 2. Second Modification FIG. 20 is a plan view of an electronic timepiece W according to a second modification. The electronic timepiece W in the second modification is a combination quartz (CQ) timepiece. The electronic timepiece W in the second modified example does not have the 2 o'clock side information display unit 30, and the 6 o'clock side information display unit 20 is replaced with an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) 29. The following elements are assumed to be elements relating to the second modification unless otherwise specified, for the sake of brevity. The LCD 29 displays an image indicating a character string indicating the current operation mode and an image indicating a character string relating to the current operation mode.

  Specifically, the LCD 29 shown in FIG. 20 displays an image 29a and an image 29b. The image 29a shows a character string “MODE” indicating the operation mode and a character string “ΔALT” in which the current operation mode indicates the altitude difference display mode. The image 29b shows an altitude difference “999m” from the current position to the target altitude as a character string related to the altitude difference display mode.

  FIG. 21 shows a configuration diagram of the electronic timepiece W. In FIG. 21, the same components as those shown in FIG.

  The electronic timepiece W includes an LCD 29 and an LCD driver 501 as a configuration related to the 6 o'clock side information display unit 20. The LCD driver 501 drives the LCD 29.

D. 3. Other Modifications In the first embodiment, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 calculates the altitude difference based on the atmospheric pressure. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and there are, for example, the following two methods. As a first method, the altitude difference calculation unit 64 calculates the coordinates of the measurement start position and the coordinates of the current position from the satellite signal obtained by the GPS receiver 2, and calculates the distance in the height direction between the calculated positions. Calculate as As a second method, when the electronic timepiece W has an acceleration sensor, the distance moved is calculated by applying a second-order integration to the acceleration obtained from the acceleration sensor, and the height direction of the calculated distance is set to an altitude difference. Calculate as

  In the first embodiment, the example of the second pointer is the center pointer 13, but is not limited thereto. For example, the second pointer may be two or more pointers such as the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33. When the second pointer is the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33, the numerical display short hand 32 indicates the value of the tenth digit of the altitude difference, and the numerical display long hand 33 indicates the value of the one digit of the altitude difference. Instruct.

The second pointer is two or more pointers, and each of the two or more pointers indicates the value of each digit of the altitude difference, thereby displaying the values of multiple digits of the altitude difference while reducing the scale. It becomes possible to do. Specifically, when the second pointer is one pointer, specifically, when the second pointer is the center pointer 13, if a two-digit value is displayed, “0” to “99” are indicated. The graduated scale 14c is required. On the other hand, when the second pointer is two pointers, specifically, when the second pointer is the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33, the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 each have an altitude difference. In order to indicate the value of the digit, the scale 31a indicating “0” to “9” may be used. As shown in FIG. 1, the scale 31a is smaller than the scale 14c. As described above, the second pointer is two or more pointers, and each of the two or more pointers indicates the value of each digit of the height difference, thereby reducing the scale and reducing the plurality of digits of the height difference. The value can be displayed.
Furthermore, although the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 are used as an example of the second pointer, the second pointer may be one pointer or three or more pointers.

  In the second embodiment, the cumulative increase amount and the cumulative decrease amount are displayed, but only the cumulative increase amount may be displayed, or only the cumulative decrease amount may be displayed. In the second embodiment, the center pointer 13 indicates the cumulative increase amount, and the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 indicate the cumulative decrease amount. However, the center pointer 13 indicates the cumulative decrease amount and displays the numerical value. The short hand 32 and the numerical value display long hand 33 may indicate the cumulative increase amount.

In the third embodiment, the small second hand 41 uses the scale 43 to indicate the sign of the difference in altitude. However, a pointer different from the small second hand 41 (an example of the “third pointer”) has a positive / negative altitude difference. A sign may be indicated. For example, the numerical display short hand 32 and the numerical display long hand 33 may indicate the absolute value of the altitude difference, the center pointer 13 may indicate the positive / negative sign of the altitude difference, and the small second hand 41 may display the elevation. . In this case, the display unit 10 is provided with a third scale on which the positive code 43p and the negative code 43m are arranged. The placement position of the third scale may be any place, for example, 1 o'clock position, 5 o'clock position, 7 o'clock position, 8 o'clock position, or 11 o'clock position.
As a result, the user can check the absolute value of the height difference from the measurement start position to the current position, so that it is possible to check how much the height difference is from the measurement start position to the current position. Furthermore, since the user can confirm the sign of the altitude difference, it is possible to confirm whether the current position is high or low from the measurement start position.

  In the first modified example, numbers “100”, “1000”, and “10000” are arranged in the 7 o'clock side information display unit 70 as powers of 10 that can be indicated by the center pointer 13. It is not limited to numbers. For example, the power of 10 may be a number “1” that is 10 to the 0th power, or may be a number “0.1” that is a power of −1. In addition, in the 7 o'clock side information display unit 70, a number expressed as an index such as a number “105” or “1.0E5” may be arranged instead of the number “10000”.

  The 6 o'clock side information display unit 20 in the second modified example includes the LCD 29, but may include an organic EL (ElectroLuminescence) display instead of the LCD 29.

  In each of the above embodiments, the scale 42p, the scale 42m, and the scale 42z are used to display the elevation degree, but may be used to display other numerical values. For example, the scale 42p, the scale 42m, and the scale 42z may display altitude, temperature, or ultraviolet intensity. When displaying the altitude, the 10 o'clock side information display unit 40 may use the scale 42p, the scale 42m, and the scale 42z as logarithmic scales. For example, in FIG. 1, the number “1” on the scale 42 p indicates 10 m, the number “2” on the scale 42 p indicates 100 m, the number “3” on the scale 42 p indicates 1000 m, and the number “ “4” may indicate 10,000 m, and the number “5” on the scale 42p may indicate 100,000 m. Similarly, the number “1” on the scale 42m may indicate −10 m, and the number “2” on the scale 42m may indicate −100 m. Further, when the temperature or ultraviolet intensity is displayed, the small second hand 41 indicates a positive sign 43p if the tendency of the temperature or the ultraviolet intensity is positive, and indicates a negative sign 43m if the tendency of the temperature or the ultraviolet intensity is negative. May be. The user can easily read the tendency of the temperature or ultraviolet intensity indicated by the positive sign 43p and the negative sign 43m.

  In each of the above embodiments, the unit of elevation is m / second, but may be foot / second.

  In each of the above embodiments, Arabic numerals such as the numeral “1” are arranged on the scale 42p, the scale 42m, and the scale 42z. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, Roman numerals or Chinese numerals may be arranged on the scale 42p, the scale 42m, and the scale 42z.

  In each of the above embodiments, the number “0” indicating that it is 0 is arranged on the scale 42z, but a symbol other than the number “0” may be arranged. For example, the scale 42z may be a symbol “·” indicating zero.

In each of the above embodiments, the measurement result numeral color and the measurement result indicator color are white, the time symbol color and the time indicator color are orange, and the symbol background color is black. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Specifically, the measurement result numeral color and time symbol color may be any color as long as the brightness difference between the measurement result numeral color and the symbol background color is larger than the brightness difference between the time symbol color and the symbol background color. . Alternatively, the measurement result numeral color and the time symbol color may be any color as long as the color difference between the measurement result numeral color and the symbol background color is larger than the color difference between the time symbol color and the symbol background color. Similarly, the measurement result pointer color and the time pointer color may be any color as long as the brightness difference between the measurement result pointer color and the symbol background color is larger than the lightness difference between the time pointer color and the symbol background color. Alternatively, the measurement result indicator color and the time indicator color may be any color as long as the color difference between the measurement result indicator color and the symbol background color is larger than the color difference between the time indicator color and the symbol background color.
For example, if the brightness of the measurement result numeric color and the brightness of the symbol background color are the same, the brightness difference between the measurement result numeric color and the symbol background color and the brightness difference between the time symbol color and the symbol background color are the same. Become. However, even if the brightness of the measurement result numeric color and the brightness of the symbol background color are the same, if the color difference between the measurement result numeric color and the symbol background color is greater than the color difference between the time symbol color and the symbol background color, The watch W can make it easier for the user to see numbers indicating at least part of the measurement results that are more important than the time.

  In each of the above embodiments, the shape of the display unit 10 is a circle, but is not limited to a circle. For example, the shape of the display unit 10 may be a rectangle.

  In each of the above forms, the number of operation buttons of the electronic timepiece W is not limited to three in each form described above, and may be less than three or more than three. Further, the arrangement of the operation buttons of the electronic timepiece W is not limited to the positions in the above-described embodiments.

  In each form mentioned above, the position of 6 o'clock side information display part 20, 10 o'clock side information display part 40, 2 o'clock side information display part 30, and date display part 50 is not restricted to the position in each form mentioned above. Moreover, in each form mentioned above, at least 1 of the 6 o'clock side information display part 20 and the date display part 50 may not be present.

In each of the above embodiments, the current position calculation unit 67 acquires a satellite signal from the GPS receiver 2, but the current position calculation unit 67 performs positioning of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) other than GPS. Satellite signals may be acquired from positioning satellites other than satellites and GNSS. For example, the current position calculation unit 67 is a WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (European
Geostationary-Satellite Navigation Overlay Service), QZSS (Quasi Zenith Satellite System), GLONASS (GLObal
NAvigation Satellite System), GALILEO, BeiDou (BeiDou
