(Embodiment 1)
In order to facilitate understanding, a case where the smartphone 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is applied to the information notification system 1000 shown in FIG. 1 will be described below as an example. The information notification system 1000 includes a smartphone 100 and an electronic timepiece 200, as shown in FIG. Then, the smartphone 100 and the electronic timepiece 200 perform near field communication by Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy (hereinafter referred to as BLE). BLE is a standard (mode) established for the purpose of low power consumption and low cost in Bluetooth (registered trademark) which is a short-range wireless communication standard. In addition, the smartphone 100 can communicate with the server 300 via the network 400. As the network 400, any network such as the Internet and LTE (registered trademark) (Long Term Evolution) can be used.

  The smartphone 100 acquires log data indicating various states and operation history of the electronic timepiece 200 from the electronic timepiece 200, and determines the battery status, power generation status, and hand position correction status of the electronic timepiece 200 from the log data. Then, the smartphone 100 notifies the user of necessary information based on these various situations determined from the log data. In addition, the smartphone 100 can upload the log data to the server 300 via the network 400. Therefore, the server 300 can collect log data from a large number of electronic timepieces 200 via the plurality of smartphones 100.

  Hereinafter, the functional configuration of the smartphone 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. The smartphone 100 is an information notification device that notifies information about the electronic timepiece 200. As shown in FIG. 2, the smartphone 100 includes a control unit 110, a storage unit 120, a display unit 131, an operation unit 132, a first communication unit 133, and a second communication unit 134, and these are They are electrically connected to each other via a bus line BL.

  The control unit 110 includes a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and controls the operation of the smartphone 100 by reading and executing a program stored in the storage unit 120.

  The storage unit 120 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory), and stores a program executed by the control unit 110 and necessary data. The storage unit 120 also functionally includes a log storage unit 121.

  The log storage unit 121 stores the log data acquired from the electronic timepiece 200, as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 shows that the types of log data stored in the log storage unit 121 include "battery output voltage", "solar cell generated current", "hand position automatic correction", and "time adjustment process". However, the type of log data is an example. The log data whose type of log data is “battery output voltage” is log data in which the output voltage of the battery of the electronic timepiece 200 is stored for the past one year. The most recent log data is stored every 10 minutes, the log data is thinned out as it goes back in the past, and the log data for one year ago is stored for each day. Then, the log data of one year or more ago is deleted from the log storage unit 121.

  The “battery output voltage” does not have to be the voltage value itself. For example, the battery output voltage at full charge is defined as battery level 1, the battery level value is increased by 1 for smaller voltage values, and the battery output voltage that becomes empty soon is defined as battery level 7. Then, this battery level value may be used as log data corresponding to the “battery output voltage”.

  The log data whose type of log data is “generated current from solar cell” is log data in which the output current from the solar cell (solar cell) mounted on the electronic timepiece 200 is stored for the past one year. Similar to the "battery output voltage" described above, the latest log data is stored every 10 minutes, and the log data is thinned out as it goes back in the past. Remembered Then, the log data of one year or more ago is deleted from the log storage unit 121.

  Note that the “current generated from the solar cell” does not have to be the current value itself, like the “battery output voltage”. For example, the maximum output current in the solar cell is the power generation level 10, the power generation level is reduced by 1 for smaller current values, 0 mA is defined as the power generation level 0, and this power generation level value is defined as "solar cell". The log data corresponding to the "current generated from" can be used.

  The log data in which the type of log data is “hand position automatic correction” is log data that stores the date and time when the hand position automatic correction function of the electronic timepiece 200 is executed and the hands and the correction amount corrected at that time. Is. When the number of times of needle position correction storage is exceeded (for example, 20 times), old log data is deleted from the log storage unit 121.

  The log data whose type of log data is “time adjustment processing” is log data in which the content of the time adjustment processing for the past one year of the electronic timepiece 200 is stored. The time adjustment process may succeed (obtain the correct time and correct it) or fail (cannot acquire the correct time and cannot correct the time). If the time adjustment process succeeds once or more during one day, the first successful time adjustment process time is stored. If all the time adjustments made within one day have failed, the last time adjustment failure time is stored. This log data is not stored on the day when the time adjustment process is not performed. Then, the log data of one year or more ago is deleted from the log storage unit 121. Moreover, not only the success or failure of the time adjustment process but also any means (GPS (Global Positioning System), standard radio wave, connection with a smartphone by BLE) were used for this log data for the time adjustment process. It is also remembered. When multiple methods are used, all the methods used are remembered.

  The display unit 131 includes an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, and the like, and displays information notified to the user.

  The operation unit 132 is an input interface that includes a touch panel, operation buttons, and the like, and that receives an operation input from a user.

  The first communication unit 133 is a BLE wireless module including an antenna for communicating with the electronic timepiece 200. The first communication unit 133 transmits / receives information to / from the electronic timepiece 200 under the control of the control unit 110.

  The second communication unit 134 is a wireless module including an antenna for communicating with the server 300. The second communication unit 134 is a wireless module for performing wireless communication based on, for example, LTE (registered trademark) or wireless LAN (Local Area Network), and transmits and receives information to and from the server 300 under the control of the control unit 110. ..

  Next, the functional configuration of the control unit 110 of the smartphone 100 will be described. By executing the program stored in the storage unit 120, the control unit 110 functions as the log acquisition unit 111, the determination unit 112, the information notification unit 113, the log transmission unit 114, the sundial clock unit 115, and the date / time transmission unit 116. Operate.

  The log acquisition unit 111 acquires log data from the electronic timepiece 200 and stores it in the log storage unit 121. The log acquisition unit 111 acquires the log data from the electronic timepiece 200 when the smartphone 100 is connected to the electronic timepiece 200 by the BLE via the first communication unit 133. There are two types: when the user manually connects to the electronic timepiece 200 and the smartphone 100, and when the electronic timepiece 200 automatically connects to the smartphone 100 for automatic time adjustment.

  The determination unit 112 determines the status of the battery, the solar cell, the hand position correction, etc. of the electronic timepiece 200 based on the log data stored in the log storage unit 121. Details of the process of the determination unit 112 determining these situations will be described later.

  The information notification unit 113 displays the information to be notified to the user on the display unit 131 based on the situation of the electronic timepiece 200 determined by the determination unit 112.

  The log transmission unit 114 transmits the log data stored in the log storage unit 121 to the server 300 via the second communication unit 134.

  The sundial time section 115 measures the current date and time. Although not shown, the smartphone 100 has at least one of a communication function with an LTE (registered trademark) base station, a GPS radio wave reception function, and a standard radio wave reception function. I get the exact date and time on a regular basis. Then, the sundial timekeeping unit 115 uses the accurate date and time acquired by these functions to measure the current date and time with less error.

  The date / time transmitting unit 116 transmits the date and time measured by the sundial timekeeping unit 115 to the electronic timepiece 200 via the first communication unit 133 when the electronic timepiece 200 is connected to the smartphone 100 for time adjustment. To do.

  The configuration of the smartphone 100 according to the first embodiment has been described above.

  Subsequently, a functional configuration of the electronic timepiece 200 according to the first embodiment will be described. The electronic timepiece 200 is a battery-powered wristwatch and can communicate with the smartphone 100 by BLE. However, the electronic timepiece 200 is not limited to a wristwatch, and may be any device as long as it is a device having a function of displaying time and is a battery-driven device (time display device). As shown in FIG. 4, the electronic timepiece 200 includes a control unit 210, a storage unit 220, a time display unit 231, a timepiece operation unit 232, a short-range communication unit 233, a GPS reception unit 234, and standard radio wave reception. The unit 235, the clock unit 241, the needle position monitoring unit 242, the battery 243, the voltage measuring unit 244, the solar cell 245, and the power generation amount measuring unit 246 are provided, and these are electrically connected via the bus line BL. Connected to each other.

  The control unit 210 includes a processor such as a CPU, and controls the operation of the electronic timepiece 200 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 220.

  The storage unit 220 includes a ROM and a RAM, and stores a program executed by the control unit 210 and necessary data. The storage unit 220 functionally includes a clock log storage unit 221.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the timepiece log storage unit 221 stores the log data of the electronic timepiece 200 by the timepiece log recording unit 211 described later. Specifically, the log data includes the output voltage of the battery 243, the power generation current from the solar cell 245, the presence / absence of automatic needle position correction processing, the presence / absence of time correction processing, and the like. Among these, regarding the log data of the output voltage of the battery 243 and the power generation current from the solar cell 245, the latest log data is stored every 10 minutes, and the log data of one day or more before is recorded every 8 hours. It is drawn and remembered. When the log data is thinned out, the log data having the maximum value recorded during the 8 hours is thinned out.

  Then, the log data of one week or more before is deleted from the clock log storage unit 221. These log data may not be the voltage value and the current value themselves, as described above in the log storage unit 121. For example, the battery level value may be used instead of the voltage value, and the power generation level value may be used instead of the current value as the log data.

  In addition, the log data indicating the presence / absence of the needle position automatic correction processing is the date and time when the needle position correction processing is performed by the needle position correction unit 214, which will be described later, and the needle and the correction amount corrected at that time (the number of stored needle position corrections). For example, the log data is stored for 5 pieces. When the number of stored hand position corrections is exceeded, old log data is deleted from the clock log storage unit 221.

  The log data of the time adjustment process is log data that stores the contents of the time adjustment process of the electronic timepiece 200 in the past week. The time adjustment process may succeed (obtain the correct time and correct it) or fail (cannot acquire the correct time and cannot correct the time). If the time adjustment process succeeds once or more during one day, the first successful time adjustment process time is stored. If all the time adjustments made within one day have failed, the last time adjustment failure time is stored. This log data is not stored on the day when the time adjustment process is not performed. Then, the log data of one week or more before is deleted from the clock log storage unit 221. In addition to the success or failure, the log data also stores which means (GPS, standard radio wave, connection with a smartphone by BLE) used for the time adjustment processing. When multiple methods are used, all the methods used are remembered.

  The time display unit 231 includes a motor driver, a motor, a train wheel mechanism, hands (second hand, minute hand, hour hand), date indicator and display driver and display (LCD or organic EL display), and displays the current time and date.

  The timepiece operation unit 232 includes a crown, a push button switch, and the like. The electronic timepiece 200 performs time adjustment, connection with the smartphone 100, and the like by the user operating these.

  The short-range communication unit 233 is a BLE wireless module including an antenna for communicating with the smartphone 100. The short-range communication unit 233 transmits / receives information to / from the smartphone 100 under the control of the control unit 210. The electronic timepiece 200 can transmit log data to the smartphone 100 via the short-range communication unit 233 and also receive date and time information measured by the smartphone 100 to correct the time.

  The GPS receiving unit 234 receives the radio wave transmitted from the GPS satellite. The electronic timepiece 200 can acquire the information on the position and time of the current location by receiving the radio wave by the GPS receiving unit 234.

  The standard wave receiver 235 receives the standard wave. The electronic timepiece 200 can acquire the current time by receiving the standard time signal with the standard time signal receiving unit 235.

  The clock unit 241 includes a clock circuit, clocks the current date and time, and outputs the clocked result to the control unit 210. The control unit 210 performs a timekeeping process for updating the information of the current time stored in the storage unit 220 based on the timekeeping result input from the timekeeping unit 241, and causes the time display unit 231 to display the current time. The function of the clock unit 241 may be realized by the control unit 210.

  The hand position monitoring unit 242 monitors whether or not there is a deviation between the time indicated by each hand (second hand, minute hand, hour hand) provided in the time display unit 231 and the current time measured by the time measuring unit 241. If there is a deviation, the needle position correction unit 214, which will be described later, is notified. This monitoring does not need to be continuously performed, and may be performed regularly. For example, the second hand is once a minute, the minute hand is once an hour, and the hour hand is once a day at regular intervals. Monitor the difference between the hour, minute, and second of the time.

  The battery 243 is a rechargeable secondary battery that supplies electric power to the electronic timepiece 200.

  The voltage measuring unit 244 measures the output voltage of the battery 243. The voltage value measured by the voltage measuring unit 244 is output to the clock log recording unit 211 described later.

  The solar cell 245 is a solar battery that supplies electric power for charging the battery 243 by applying light.

  The power generation amount measuring unit 246 measures the power generation amount (power generation current) generated by the solar cell 245. Since the current generated by the solar cell 245 is used to charge the battery 243, the amount of power generation is the same as the value of the charging current when charging the battery 243. The current value measured by the power generation amount measuring unit 246 is output to the clock log recording unit 211 described later.

  Next, the functional configuration of the control unit 210 of the electronic timepiece 200 will be described. The control unit 210 functionally includes a clock log recording unit 211, a clock log transmission unit 212, a time correction unit 213, and a hand position correction unit 214.

  The clock log recording unit 211 has a value of the output voltage of the battery 243 measured by the voltage measuring unit 244, a value of a generated current from the solar cell 245 measured by the power generation amount measuring unit 246, a time correction result by the time correction unit 213, and a hand. The time log storage unit 221 stores the result of hand position correction by the position correction unit 214 and the like.

  The watch log transmission unit 212 sends the log data stored in the watch log storage unit 221 to the smartphone 100 via the short-range communication unit 233.

  The time adjustment unit 213 performs a manual time adjustment process according to a user's instruction from the clock operation unit 232 and a periodic automatic time adjustment process (for example, by starting the time adjustment process at a fixed time every day). The time correction process is performed by performing any one of GPS radio wave reception, standard radio wave reception, and connection with the smartphone 100 to acquire the current accurate date and time, regardless of whether it is manual or automatic.

  When the needle position correction unit 214 receives notification from the needle position monitoring unit 242 that the position of the needle has shifted, it corrects the position of the needle to the correct position for displaying the current time.

  The configuration of the electronic timepiece 200 according to the first embodiment has been described above.

  Subsequently, a functional configuration of the server 300 according to the first embodiment will be described. The server 300 is a computer that can connect to the smartphone 100 via the network 400 and receive and store log data from the smartphone 100. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the server 300 includes a control unit 310, a storage unit 320, an output unit 331, an input unit 332, and a communication unit 333, which are electrically connected via the bus line BL. It is connected.

  The control unit 310 includes a processor such as a CPU, and executes a program stored in the storage unit 320 to control the operation of the server 300.

  The storage unit 320 includes a ROM and a RAM, and stores a program executed by the control unit 310 and necessary data. Further, the storage unit 320 is functionally provided with a clock log storage unit 321.

  The timepiece log storage unit 321 stores log data of the electronic timepiece 200 acquired by the timepiece log acquisition unit 311 described later. Since the server 300 can communicate with the plurality of smartphones 100, the server 300 can receive the log data of the plurality of electronic timepieces 200. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the watch log storage unit 321 stores log data for each ID (Identifier) of the electronic watch 200. The content of the log data is the same as that of the log storage unit 121 of the smartphone 100, except that it is stored for each ID of the electronic timepiece 200. However, since the storage capacity of the storage unit 320 of the server 300 is usually larger than the storage capacity of the storage unit 120 of the smartphone 100, the storage period may be set longer than that of the log storage unit 121 to store the log data. For example, the "battery output voltage" and the "generated current from the solar cell" may be stored for the past several years.

  The output unit 331 is an output device such as an LCD or an EL display. The input unit 332 is an input device such as a keyboard, a mouse and a touch panel. The communication unit 333 is a communication device for communicating with the smartphone 100. The communication unit 333 can use any communication device as long as it can communicate with the smartphone 100.

  Next, the functional configuration of the control unit 310 of the server 300 will be described. The control unit 310 operates as the clock log acquisition unit 311 and the clock determination unit 312 by executing the programs stored in the storage unit 320.

  The timepiece log acquisition unit 311 acquires the ID and log data of the electronic timepiece 200 from the smartphone 100 and causes the timepiece log storage unit 321 to store the ID and log data.

  The timepiece determination unit 312 determines, for each electronic timepiece 200, the status of the battery, solar cell, hand position correction, etc. of the electronic timepiece 200 based on the log data stored in the timepiece log storage unit 321. The process by which the determination unit 312 for each clock determines these situations is the same as the process by the determination unit 112 of the smartphone 100, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  The configuration of the server 300 according to the first embodiment has been described above. Next, a process in which the smartphone 100 determines the status of the electronic timepiece 200 and notifies the user of information as necessary will be described step by step.

(Initialization process)
First, an initialization process for connecting the smartphone 100 and the electronic timepiece 200 by BLE so that the smartphone 100 can grasp the situation of the electronic timepiece 200 will be described with reference to FIG. 8. This process is performed only once as a task of registering the electronic timepiece 200 in the smartphone 100 when the user purchases the electronic timepiece 200. The initialization process is provided as, for example, application software of a smartphone, and the initialization process is started when the user activates the application software.

  First, the control unit 110 determines whether the smartphone 100 and the electronic timepiece 200 have been paired (step S101). Pairing is to connect devices that communicate by Bluetooth (registered trademark). If the smartphone 100 and the electronic timepiece 200 have already been paired in the past, they can be automatically connected based on the information at the time of the pairing in the past, and thus the pairing has been completed based on this. It can be determined whether or not. If pairing has been completed (step S101; Yes), the process proceeds to step S103.

  If the smartphone 100 and the electronic timepiece 200 have not been paired (step S101; No), the control unit 110 performs pairing with the electronic timepiece 200 (step S102).

  When the pairing is completed, the control unit 110 acquires the ID of the electronic timepiece 200 and stores it in the storage unit 120 (step S103).

  Next, the control unit 110 clears the variable "battery flag" stored in the storage unit 120 to 0 (step S104). Then, the control unit 110 also clears the variable "power generation flag" stored in the storage unit 120 to 0 (step S105). Further, the control unit 110 also clears the entire log storage unit 121 to 0 (step S106), and ends the initialization process. The variable “battery flag” is a flag indicating whether or not the battery of the electronic timepiece 200 may be deteriorated. If the determination unit 112 determines that the battery of the electronic timepiece 200 may not be deteriorated, the variable “battery flag” is cleared to 0, and if it is determined that the battery may be deteriorated, the variable “battery flag” is set. 1 is set. The variable "power generation flag" is a flag indicating whether or not the solar cell of the electronic timepiece 200 may be deteriorated. If the determination unit 112 determines that the solar cell of the electronic timepiece 200 is not likely to be deteriorated, the variable "power generation flag" is cleared to 0, and if it is determined that the solar cell is possibly deteriorated, the variable "power generation flag" is set. Is set to 1. Although the variable "battery flag" is cleared to 0 in step S104, the variable "battery flag" may be set to 1 in step S104. By setting the variable "battery flag" to 1 from the beginning, it becomes easier for the smartphone 100 to notify information regarding charging, which will be described later. Similarly, the variable "power generation flag" may be set to 1 in step S105.

  By the above initialization processing, preparations are made for the smartphone 100 to determine various situations of the electronic timepiece 200 based on the future usage tendency of the electronic timepiece 200.

(Log acquisition process)
The above-described initialization processing only prepares for the smartphone 100 to make a determination of various situations of the electronic timepiece 200, and in order to make the determination, the smartphone 100 needs to acquire log data from the electronic timepiece 200. is there. Therefore, next, this log data acquisition processing will be described with reference to FIG. The log data acquisition process is started when the electronic timepiece 200 connects to the smartphone 100. For example, when the user connects the electronic timepiece 200 to the smartphone 100 in order to adjust the time of the electronic timepiece 200, the log data acquisition process is also performed together with the time adjustment process. At this time, the smartphone 100 may simultaneously execute the time adjustment process and the log data acquisition process in different threads, or may execute either one first and then the other process.

  First, the log acquisition unit 111 of the smartphone 100 acquires log data from the electronic timepiece 200 via the first communication unit 133 (step S111). Step S111 is also called a log acquisition step. When the smartphone 100 is performing step S111, the clock log transmission unit 212 of the electronic timepiece 200 transmits the log data stored in the clock log storage unit 221 to the smartphone 100 via the short-range communication unit 233. is doing.

  Next, the log acquisition unit 111 of the smartphone 100 stores the acquired log data in the log storage unit 121 (step S112), and ends the log data acquisition process. In step S112, the log acquisition unit 111 deletes old log data (for example, “battery output voltage” of one year or more) stored in the log storage unit 121 or log data to be thinned out. For example, for the "battery output voltage" from 7 days ago to 1 day ago, the log data for every 8 hours is transmitted from the electronic timepiece 200, but this is thinned out to the log data for every day. When the log acquisition unit 111 thins out the log data of the “battery output voltage” and the “power generation current from the solar cell”, the log data recording the maximum value of the day is thinned out.

  Through the above log data acquisition process, the log data acquired from the electronic timepiece 200 is accumulated in the log storage unit 121, and the smartphone 100 can determine various situations of the electronic timepiece 200.

(Information notification process)
Next, an information notification process in which the smartphone 100 determines various situations of the electronic timepiece 200 and notifies the user of necessary information will be described with reference to FIG. 10.

  The information notification process is started when the log data acquisition process described above is completed. The execution is also started when the user activates the application software for starting the information notification process.

  When the information notification process is started, the smartphone 100 sequentially performs the battery status determination process (step S201), the power generation status determination process (step S202), and the needle position status determination process (step S203) before performing the information notification process. finish. In each of these determination processes, when it is determined that the notification to the user is necessary, the smartphone 100 notifies the user of the information. Therefore, the details of each of these processes will be described in order.

  In order to facilitate understanding, in the following description of each process, the log data of “battery output voltage” is treated as battery levels 1 to 7, and the log data of “power generation current from the solar cell” is power generation level. It will be treated as 10-0. Here, the battery level 1 corresponds to the output voltage when the battery 243 is fully charged, and the battery level 7 corresponds to the output voltage when the battery 243 is almost empty (empty). The power generation level 10 corresponds to the power generation current when sunlight is applied to the solar cell 245 outdoors on a sunny day, and the power generation level 0 corresponds to the power generation current when no light is applied. Further, the power generation level 5 corresponds to a power generation current that is approximately the same as the consumption current when the electronic timepiece 200 is normally operating, and the power generation level 7 corresponds to a power generation current in the environment directly below the fluorescent lamp. Further, in the following description, the lowest voltage that will be the battery level 5 will be the voltage reference value, the lowest current that will be the power generation level 5 will be the balanced power generation reference value, and the lowest current that will be the power generation level 7 will be the normal power generation reference value. However, the above level values and reference values are examples, and may be changed to more appropriate values as appropriate.

  Further, in order to facilitate understanding, in the following description of each processing, the period for determining the situation is described as “1 month”, but this period (situation determination reference period) is limited to 1 month. It does not mean that

  First, the battery status determination process executed in step S201 of FIG. 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the battery status determination process, first, the determination unit 112 of the smartphone 100 refers to the log storage unit 121 and determines whether or not the latest (most recent) log data value of the “battery output voltage” is less than the voltage reference value. Is determined (step S301). Step S301 is also called a determination step. The value of the log data of the “battery output voltage” being less than the voltage reference value means that the battery level recorded as the log data is 6 or 7.

  If the value of the latest log data of the "battery output voltage" is greater than or equal to the voltage reference value (step S301; No), the control unit 110 clears the variable "battery flag" to 0 (step S302), and the battery status The determination process ends. When the value of the latest log data of "battery output voltage" is less than the voltage reference value (step S301; Yes), the determination unit 112 determines whether the value of the variable "battery flag" is 1 (step S303). ).

  If the value of the variable "battery flag" is not 1 (step S303; No), the determination unit 112 refers to the log storage unit 121 and determines that the highest value of the log data of "battery output voltage" in the past one month. It is determined whether it is less than the voltage reference value (step S304). Step S304 is also called a determination step.

  If the maximum value of the log data of the "battery output voltage" in the past month is less than the voltage reference value (step S304; Yes), the information notification unit 113 displays the charging guidance on the display unit 131 (step S305). ). Step S305 is also called a notification step. As shown in FIG. 12, the charging guidance is a screen for notifying that the amount of charge is insufficient and advice (first notification) for good charging. Then, the control unit 110 sets 1 to the variable "battery flag" and sets today to the variable "battery determination date" (the date when the electronic timepiece 200 is connected to the smartphone 100) (step S306), and the battery status determination process is performed. To finish.

  On the other hand, in step S304, if the highest value of the log data of the “battery output voltage” in the past month is equal to or higher than the voltage reference value (step S304; No), the information notification unit 113 causes the “battery output voltage”. The notification center display is performed according to the latest log data value of (step S307), and the battery status determination process ends. The notification center display is to display a message at the top of the screen of the smartphone 100, as shown in FIG. Note that FIG. 13 shows an example in which the message “please charge” corresponding to the battery level 7 is displayed. When the latest log data value of "battery output voltage" is battery level 6, the content of the message in the notification center display is "please charge now".

  On the other hand, if the value of the variable "battery flag" is 1 in step S303 (step S303; Yes), the determination unit 112 passes one month or more from the date set in the variable "battery determination date" to today. It is determined whether or not (step S308). Step S308 is also called a determination step. If one month or more has not elapsed (step S308; No), the information notification unit 113 displays the notification center according to the value of the latest log data of “battery output voltage” (step S307), and the control unit 110. Ends the battery status determination process.

  If one month or more has passed from the date set in the variable “battery determination date” to today (step S308; Yes), the determination unit 112 refers to the log storage unit 121 and “battery output voltage”. It is determined whether or not the maximum value of the log data in the past one month is less than the voltage reference value (step S309). Step S309 is also called a determination step. If the highest value of the log data in the past month is equal to or higher than the voltage reference value (step S309; No), the control unit 110 clears the variable "battery flag" to 0 (step S310), and the information notification unit 113 sets " The notification center is displayed according to the value of the latest log data of "battery output voltage" (step S307), and the battery status determination process ends.

  If the maximum value of the log data in the past month is less than the voltage reference value (step S309; Yes), the determination unit 112 refers to the log storage unit 121 and refers to the power generation current from the solar cell for the past month. It is determined whether or not the highest value of the log data during the period is equal to or greater than the equilibrium power generation reference value (step S311). Step S311 is also called a determination step. The value of the log data of “power generation current from the solar cell” being equal to or higher than the balanced power generation reference value means that the power generation level stored as the log data is 5 or higher. That is, when the maximum value of the log data of the "current generated from the solar cell" in the past month is less than the equilibrium power generation reference value, it means that the solar cell cannot generate the normal power consumption of the electronic timepiece 200. Means

  When the maximum value of the log data of the “current generated from the solar cell” in the past month is less than the equilibrium power generation reference value (step S311; No), the information notification unit 113 displays the charging guidance on the display unit 131. (Step S313). Step S313 is also called a notification step. Then, the control unit 110 sets today (the date when the electronic timepiece 200 is connected to the smartphone 100) to the variable “battery determination date” (step S314), and ends the battery status determination process.

  On the other hand, in step S311, if the highest value of the log data of the “generated current from the solar cell” in the past month is equal to or greater than the equilibrium power generation reference value (step S311; Yes), the determination unit 112 causes the log storage unit 121. With reference to, it is determined whether the average of the number of GPS and standard radio waves used in the time adjustment process in the past month and the number of communications with the smartphone 100 by BLE is equal to or higher than the use reference value (step S312). Step S312 is also called a determination step. The average of the number of times of reception of GPS and standard wave and communication with the smartphone 100 by BLE is equal to or higher than the use reference value, here, in the past one month of the number of times of reception of GPS and standard wave and communication with the smartphone 100 by BLE. This means that the average value is at least once every two days.

  If the average of the number of times GPS and standard radio waves used in the time adjustment process in the past one month and the communication with the smartphone 100 by BLE is equal to or higher than the use reference value (step S312; Yes), the information notification unit 113 displays The charging guidance is displayed on the unit 131 (step S313). Then, the control unit 110 sets today (the date when the electronic timepiece 200 is connected to the smartphone 100) to the variable “battery determination date” (step S314), and ends the battery status determination process.

  If the average of the number of times GPS and standard radio waves used in the time adjustment process for the past month and the communication with the smartphone 100 by BLE is less than the use reference value (step S312; No), the information notification unit 113 displays The charging guidance with the confirmation of improvement is displayed on the section 131 (step S315), and the input (the touch of "here" or "OK") from the user regarding the presence or absence of the improvement is waited. Step S315 is also called a notification step. The input can be acquired by the touch panel included in the operation unit 132. The charging guidance with improvement confirmation is, as shown in FIG. 14, a screen for notifying advice for good charging and confirming whether or not the shortage of the amount of charge has been improved.

  Then, the control unit 110 determines whether or not the input from the user is "not improved" (touch of "here") (step S316). If the input from the user is not “not improved” (that is, “OK”) (step S316; No), the control unit 110 ends the battery status determination process.

  If the input from the user is “not improved” (that is, “here”) (step S316; Yes), the control unit 110 clears the variable “battery flag” to 0 (step S317), and the information notification unit 113 displays As shown in FIG. 15, a support center display (second notification) indicating the possibility of battery deterioration is displayed on the unit 131 (step S318), and the battery status determination process ends.

  This is the end of the description of the battery state determination process. By the battery state determination process, the smartphone 100 can notify the advice information for good charging when the charge amount of the electronic timepiece 200 is insufficient for a long period of time. Further, if the charge amount of the electronic timepiece 200 is still insufficient for a long time after the advice information is notified, the smartphone 100 outputs a message confirming whether or not the insufficient charge amount is improved, and the fact that the charge amount is not improved is indicated. If the answer is obtained, it is possible to notify that there is a possibility of battery deterioration.

  In addition, when the smartphone 100 has not acquired the log data of the electronic timepiece 200 for one month (situation determination reference period) or more (when the previous log acquisition date was one month (situation determination reference period) or more), There is a high possibility that the battery status of the electronic timepiece 200 cannot be correctly determined. Therefore, in this case, the entire battery condition determination process may be skipped (the battery condition determination process may be terminated without any processing). Next, the power generation state determination processing executed in step S202 of FIG. 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the power generation status determination process, first, the determination unit 112 of the smartphone 100 refers to the log storage unit 121 and determines whether or not the latest (most recent) log data value of the “battery output voltage” is less than the voltage reference value. Is determined (step S401). Step S401 is also called a determination step. The value of the log data of the “battery output voltage” being less than the voltage reference value means that the battery level recorded as the log data is 6 or 7.

  If the value of the latest log data of the "battery output voltage" is equal to or higher than the voltage reference value (step S401; No), the control unit 110 clears the variable "power generation flag" to 0 (step S402), and the power generation status. The determination process ends. If the latest log data value of the "battery output voltage" is less than the voltage reference value (step S401; Yes), the determination unit 112 determines whether the value of the variable "power generation flag" is 1 (step S403). ).

  If the value of the variable "power generation flag" is not 1 (step S403; No), the determination unit 112 refers to the log storage unit 121 and determines the highest log data of "power generation current from the solar cell" in the past month. It is determined whether the value is less than the normal power generation reference value (step S404). Step S404 is also called a determination step. The value of the log data of the "power generation current from the solar cell" being less than the normal power generation reference value means that the power generation level stored as the log data is less than 7 here. That is, the maximum value of the log data of the "power generation current from the solar cell" in the past month is less than the normal power generation reference value, which means that the solar cell 245 has always generated power even in the environment directly under the fluorescent lamp for the past month. It means that it cannot generate electricity.

  If the maximum value of the log data of the "current generated from the solar cell" in the past month is equal to or higher than the normal power generation reference value (step S404; No), the control unit 110 ends the power generation status determination process.

  If the maximum value of the log data of “power generation current from the solar cell” in the past month is less than the normal power generation reference value (step S404; Yes), the information notification unit 113 displays the display unit 131 as shown in FIG. The charging guidance is displayed (step S405). Step S405 is also called a notification step. Then, the control unit 110 sets 1 to the variable “power generation flag” and today (the date when the electronic timepiece 200 is connected to the smartphone 100) to the variable “power generation determination date” (step S406), and the power generation status determination process is performed. To finish.

  On the other hand, in step S403, if the value of the variable "power generation flag" is 1 (step S403; Yes), the determination unit 112 passes one month or more from the date set in the variable "power generation determination date" until today. It is determined whether or not (step S407). Step S407 is also called a determination step. If one month or more has not elapsed (step S407; No), the control unit 110 ends the power generation state determination process.

  If more than one month has passed from the date set in the variable "power generation determination date" to today (step S407; Yes), the determination unit 112 refers to the log storage unit 121 and refers to "power generation from the solar cell. It is determined whether or not the maximum value of the log data of "current" in the past one month is less than the normal power generation reference value (step S408). Step S408 is also called a determination step. If the maximum value of the log data of the "current generated from the solar cell" in the past one month is equal to or higher than the normal power generation reference value (step S408; No), the control unit 110 clears the variable "power generation flag" to 0 ( In step S409), the power generation status determination process ends.

  If the highest value of the log data of the “current generated from the solar cell” in the past one month is less than the normal power generation reference value (step S408; Yes), the information notification unit 113 causes the display unit 131 to display as shown in FIG. The charging guidance with the improvement confirmation is displayed (step S410), and the input of the user regarding the presence or absence of the improvement (touch of "here" or "OK") is waited for. Step S410 is also called a notification step. The input can be acquired by the touch panel included in the operation unit 132.

  Then, the control unit 110 determines whether or not the input from the user is "not improved" (touch of "here") (step S411). If the input from the user is not “not improved” (that is, “OK”) (step S411; No), the control unit 110 ends the power generation status determination process.

  If the input from the user is “not improved” (that is, “here”) (step S411; Yes), the control unit 110 clears the variable “power generation flag” to 0 (step S412), and the information notification unit 113 displays As shown in FIG. 17, a support center display (third notification) indicating the possibility of solar cell deterioration is displayed on the unit 131 (step S413), and the power generation state determination processing ends.

  This is the end of the description of the power generation state determination process. By this power generation state determination processing, the smartphone 100 can notify advice information for good charging when the charge amount of the electronic timepiece 200 is insufficient for a long period of time. Further, if the charge amount of the electronic timepiece 200 is still insufficient for a long time after the advice information is notified, the smartphone 100 outputs a message confirming whether or not the insufficient charge amount is improved, and the fact that the charge amount is not improved is indicated. When the answer is obtained, it is possible to notify that there is a possibility of solar cell deterioration.

  In addition, when the smartphone 100 has not acquired the log data of the electronic timepiece 200 for one month (situation determination reference period) or more (when the previous log acquisition date was one month (situation determination reference period) or more), There is a high possibility that the condition of the solar cell of the electronic timepiece 200 cannot be correctly determined. Therefore, in this case, the entire power generation status determination process may be skipped (the power generation status determination process may be terminated without any processing). Next, the needle position condition determination processing executed in step S203 of FIG. 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the needle position status determination process, first, the determination unit 112 of the smartphone 100 refers to the log storage unit 121 and identifies the log data of the past needle correction determination period (for example, one week) of “automatic needle position correction”. It is determined whether or not automatic correction of the needle position has been performed for more than the needle correction reference day (for example, 5 days) with the hands (second hand, minute hand, hour hand) (step S501). Step S501 is also called a determination step. If the needle position automatic correction for the specific needle has not been performed for the needle correction reference date or more (step S501; No), the control unit 110 ends the needle position condition determination process.

  If the automatic needle position correction has been performed on the specific needle for more than the needle correction reference date (step S501; Yes), the information notification unit 113 indicates the “needle position automatic correction” stored in the log storage unit 121. Based on the log data of the past needle correction determination period, the information on the date and time when the automatic needle position correction is performed is acquired (step S502). At that time, if there is a characteristic (occurring in the morning, occurring on weekdays, etc.) in the date and time of occurrence, it is desirable to also acquire the characteristic.

  Then, the information notification unit 113 displays the needle position correction guidance on the display unit 131 (step S503). Step S503 is also called a notification step. As shown in FIG. 19, the needle position correction guidance is a screen for notifying that the needle is displaced and advice (fourth notification) for preventing the needle from being displaced. Then, the control unit 110 ends the needle position situation determination process. In the display of the needle position correction guidance in step S503, it is desirable to display the information of the date and time of occurrence of the automatic needle position correction acquired in step S502 or the information of the characteristic of the date and time of occurrence. FIG. 19 is a display example when the occurrence dates and times of the automatic needle position correction are concentrated in the morning.

  This is the end of the description of the needle position condition determination processing. By this hand position status determination process, the smartphone 100 can notify the advice information for preventing the hands from being displaced when the hands of the electronic timepiece 200 are frequently displaced.

  With the above, the description of each situation determination process executed in each step of the information notification process illustrated in FIG. 10 is completed. As described above, the information notification process allows the smartphone 100 to determine the usage status of the electronic timepiece 200 and notify the user of appropriate information according to the usage status.

(Modification of Embodiment 1)
In the information notification process shown in FIG. 10, the user is notified of the guidance regarding charging and the guidance regarding magnetism. However, the guidance to be notified need not be limited to these. Therefore, a modified example of the first embodiment in which guidance regarding time adjustment is also described.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the information notification processing according to the modified example of the first embodiment has processing contents in which the time correction status determination processing (step S204) is added to the information notification processing (FIG. 10) of the first embodiment. There is no other difference than this.

  Therefore, the time correction status determination process will be described with reference to FIG. First, the determination unit 112 of the smartphone 100 refers to the log storage unit 121, and determines from the log data of the “time adjustment process” that the date for which the time adjustment has failed continues for the time adjustment reference number of days (for example, one week) or more. It is determined whether or not there is (step S601). Step S601 is also called a determination step. If the time has been successfully adjusted within the past time adjustment reference days (step S601; No), the control unit 110 ends the time adjustment status determination process.

  If the days for which the time adjustment has failed have continued for the time adjustment reference days or more (step S601; Yes), the information notification unit 113 displays the time adjustment guidance on the display unit 131 (step S602). Step S602 is also called a notification step. The time adjustment guidance is, as shown in FIG. 22, a screen for giving advice (fifth notification) for correct time adjustment. Then, the control unit 110 ends the time adjustment status determination process.

  By the time adjustment status determination process described above, the smartphone 100 can notify the advice information for correct time adjustment when the time adjustment process of the electronic timepiece 200 frequently fails.

(Embodiment 2)
The smartphone 100 according to the first embodiment described above can notify the user of necessary information by the information notification process. Next, a second embodiment in which not only the user but also the electronic timepiece 200 can be notified of necessary information will be described. The information notification system 1001 according to the second embodiment is obtained by replacing the smartphone 100 with the smartphone 101 in the information notification system 1000 according to the first embodiment, and as shown in FIG. 1, the smartphone 101, the electronic timepiece 200, Equipped with.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the smartphone 101 according to the second embodiment has a configuration in which a clock notification unit 117 is added to the smartphone 100 (FIG. 2) according to the first embodiment. The clock notification unit 117 transmits information to be notified to the electronic timepiece 200 to the electronic timepiece 200 via the first communication unit 133 based on the situation of the electronic timepiece 200 determined by the determination unit 112.

  Further, the smartphone 101 also performs the initialization process (FIG. 8), the log data acquisition process (FIG. 9), and the information notification process (FIG. 10) similarly to the smartphone 100, but in addition to these, it is necessary for the electronic timepiece 200. Performs clock notification processing to notify information. This clock notification process will be described with reference to FIG. Similar to the information notification process, the clock notification process is started when the log data acquisition process described above is completed. In reality, it may be considered that a process of notifying the electronic timepiece 200 is performed at the time of displaying the guidance on the display unit 131 in each determination process of the information notifying process described above.

  In the timepiece notification process, first, the control unit 110 of the smartphone 101 refers to the log storage unit 121 and analyzes the usage status of the electronic timepiece 200 (step S701). The processing of this analysis is the same as the various determination processing in each determination processing of the information notification processing described above.

  Then, the determination unit 112 determines whether or not the analysis result by the control unit 110 in step S701 is “there is an abnormality in the electronic timepiece” (step S702). Step S702 is also called a determination step. For example, in the battery status determination process (FIG. 11), the power generation status determination process (FIG. 16), the hand position status determination process (FIG. 18), and the time correction status determination process (FIG. 21) described above, the determination of the determination unit 112 When the information notification unit 113 performs a process of displaying various guidances, it means that the determination unit 112 has determined that “the electronic timepiece has an abnormality”.

  If the analysis result is not "there is an abnormality in the electronic timepiece" (step S702; No), the control unit 110 ends the timepiece notification process. If the analysis result is “the electronic timepiece has an abnormality” (step S702; Yes), the timepiece notification unit 117 notifies the electronic timepiece 200 of the abnormality via the first communication unit 133 (step S703). Step S703 is also called a time display device notification step. Then, the control unit 110 ends the clock notification process. The notification of the abnormality is, for example, a notification such as "the charge is chronically insufficient", "the needle is misaligned frequently", or "the time adjustment is not successful for one week or more". is there. The electronic timepiece 200 receives the notification of the abnormality from the smartphone 101 via the short-range communication unit 233 and displays it on the display included in the time display unit 231. This allows the user to know the problem occurring in the electronic timepiece 200 by looking at the electronic timepiece 200 without looking at the smartphone 101.

  In step S703, the timepiece notifying unit 117 may transmit not only the abnormality notification but also correction data for correcting various reference values stored in the electronic timepiece 200 to detect the abnormality. The various reference values are, for example, a reference value of a battery level value, a reference value of a power generation level, a reference value of a sensor that detects a needle deviation, and the like. For example, when abnormality notifications are frequently made with the current various reference values, the frequency of abnormality notifications can be reduced by transmitting correction data for correcting the various reference values in step S703.

  Although the description of the embodiment has been completed, the above embodiment is merely an example, and thus the configurations and processing contents of the information notification systems 1000 and 1001 are not limited to those described in the above embodiment. For example, the message displayed in the guidance display may be changed appropriately. Regarding the storage time intervals of the log data stored in the log storage unit 121, the clock log storage unit 221, and the clock log storage unit 321, the values described above and the values described in FIGS. 3, 5, and 7 are It is just an example and can be changed as appropriate. Further, as log data, whether or not the time signal function of the electronic timepiece 200 is used, whether or not the alarm function is used, the output time of the alarm sound when the alarm is used, the time and the lighting time of turning on the light, the use of the stopwatch function, etc. are recorded. You may. Then, using these log data, the process of further analyzing the usage tendency of the user may be reflected in various determination processes of the information notification process. By doing so, the information on the guidance display when notifying the information to the user can be made more detailed or easy to understand. Further, the information notification systems 1000 and 1001 may include an arbitrary battery-driven device instead of the electronic timepiece 200. Also in this case, the smartphones 100 and 101 can display charging guidance and the like regarding the device, and can change the log data and the guidance display according to the function of the device.

  Further, in the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the control units 110, 210, 310 perform control operations by the CPU. However, the control operation is not limited to software control by the CPU. Part or all of the control operation may be performed by using a dedicated hardware configuration such as a wired logic. Further, each of the control units 110, 210 and 310 may operate as each unit of the functional configuration described above by a single CPU, or the operation of each unit of the functional configuration may be performed by a plurality of CPUs. ..

  Further, in the above embodiment, the programs executed by the control units 110, 210, 310 are described as being stored in advance in the ROMs of the storage units 120, 220, 320. However, the program is stored in a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, a flexible disk, a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory), an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), and an MO (Magneto-Disc). A computer capable of realizing the above-described functions may be configured by storing the program in a computer-readable recording medium, distributing the program, loading the program into the computer, and installing the program. Then, in the case where each function is realized by sharing of the OS (Operating System) and the application or by cooperation between the OS and the application, only the part other than the OS may be stored in the recording medium.
