Description

The present invention relates to a technique for grasping a time and a time.

Conventionally, for example, a combination of numbers carried at regular intervals of 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and 12 hours starting from 0 o'clock, 0 minutes, and 0 seconds of standard time is generally used for indicating the time by a clock. be.
Further, as in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-297114), when displaying a time numerically on a display device capable of color display, colors are arranged on the character itself or the background of the character, and the time from the set time. A technique has also been developed that makes it possible to grasp the passage of time by sequentially changing the hue of a color or the like according to the passage of time. Further, as in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-343475), a display device having three color display zones of "hour", "minute" and "second" is used, and each color display zone is predetermined. There is also a technique for displaying colors sequentially over time.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-297114 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-343475

However, all of the above techniques ignore the relationship between the colors naturally acquired by humans and the passage of time. For example, red represents 1 o'clock and blue represents 2 o'clock. It is only related to time by arrangement.
For this reason, in a timekeeping device that uses colors according to the prior art, a person who perceives the color light of the light emitting unit draws a predetermined agreement between colors and numbers from memory, translates the colors into numbers, and then translates the colors into numbers. Therefore, it is forced to perform a detour recognition process of recognizing time or elapsed time. Therefore, it cannot be said that both of the above-mentioned techniques actually intuitively grasp the passage of time.
The present invention discloses a technique that makes it easy to intuitively grasp the time and time even with colored light alone.

Basic principle of color light timekeeping device:
The color-light type measuring device of the present invention has 12 basic colors of red-purple, red, yellow-red, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, blue-purple, purple, pink, and white, and the 12 basic colors of light. A light emitting unit capable of selectively emitting 12 colored lights included in the 12 basic colors and a control unit for controlling the light emission of the light emitting unit are provided.
The unit time of 4 to 12 is set as a fixed cycle.
Of the 12 basic colors, white and pink are designated as the white group (FIG. 1, reference numeral GW), and the rest are designated as 10 basic color lights (FIG. 1, reference numeral G10).
Of the 10 basic colors, purple and magenta are grouped in purple.
In the order of color light selection from the 10 basic colors surrounding the white group,
One color in the purple group, red, yellow-red, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, bluish-purple, and a counterclockwise order that turns in the direction of the other color in the purple group, and
Assuming that there is a clockwise order that turns in the direction of one color of the purple group, bluish purple, blue, bluish green, green, yellowish green, yellow, yellowish red, red, and the other one color of the purple group.
In the fixed cycle, the control unit emits the color light GW of the white group in one or both unit times of the first unit time and the last unit time, and in the counterclockwise order or in each remaining unit time. It has an embodiment in which colored light is selected in the clockwise order and emitted from the light emitting unit.
For the 12 basic colors, the chromaticity diagram shown in Reference Appendix 1 of Japanese Industrial Standards Z8110: 1995 is used as a JIS chromaticity diagram, and the chromaticity classification is defined in the JIS chromaticity diagram.

Colored timekeeping device (colored clock):
Further, the color-light type measuring device of the present invention has 12 basic colors of red-purple, red, yellow-red, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, blue-purple, purple, pink, and white, and the 12 basic colors. A light emitting unit capable of selectively emitting 6 to 12 colored lights included in the 12 basic colors and a control unit for controlling the light emission of the light emitting unit are provided.
With 12 unit times as a fixed cycle
Of the fixed cycles, the first half is the first half cycle and the second half is the second half cycle.
The color light of the first unit time in the first half cycle and the second half cycle is used as the starting light.
The colored light of the last unit time in the first half cycle and the second half cycle is defined as the end light.
Of the 12 basic colors, white and pink are the white group, and the rest are the 10 basic color lights.
Of the 10 basic colors, purple and magenta are grouped in purple.
In the order of color light selection from the 10 basic colors surrounding the white group,
One color of the purple group, red, yellow-red, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, bluish-purple, and a counterclockwise order (FIG. 1, reference numeral R1) that turns in the direction of the other colors of the purple group. and,
One color of the purple group, bluish purple, blue, bluish green, green, yellowish green, yellow, yellowish red, red, and a clockwise order (FIG. 1, reference numeral R2) that turns in the direction of the other colors of the purple group. If there is,
The control unit is in the fixed cycle.
One of the start light of the first half cycle and the end light of the second half cycle becomes the color light of the white group.
When the start light of the first half cycle is the color light of the white group, the start light of the second half cycle becomes the color light of the white group or the purple group.
When the end light of the latter half cycle is the color light of the white group, the end light of the first half cycle becomes the color light of the white group or the purple group.
In the remaining 5 unit times of the first and second half cycles, there is no overlap of each color light and the purple group light in each lap, and in the unit time of the same order of the first and second half cycles, the above The light emitting unit selects each of the five color lights among the ten basic colors so that the two color lights corresponding to the left or right turn order become adjacent chromaticity-classified lights adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction or the same chromaticity-classified light. It has an aspect of making it emit more light.
For the 12 basic colors, the chromaticity diagram shown in Reference Appendix 1 of Japanese Industrial Standards Z8110: 1995 is used as a JIS chromaticity diagram, and the chromaticity classification is defined in the JIS chromaticity diagram.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a technique that makes it easy to intuitively grasp the time and time only with colored light.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. The following embodiments exemplify the present invention, and not all of them are indispensable for the means for solving the invention. In each explanation, color and light are treated as synonymous terms, but originally, light is an electromagnetic wave (physical quantity) in a certain wavelength band, and color is affected by light in various main wavelength bands and stimulus purity. It is a color sense (psychological quantity).
For this reason, here, both psychophysical quantities "colored light" and "basic color" are used properly, the former as a psychological quantity and the latter as a word with a strong meaning as a physical quantity, and the latter is the color on the chromaticity classification on the JIS chromaticity diagram. It is assumed that it can be represented by the x and y values of the degree point coordinates. In addition, items related to time on color light display, which are not described in the means for solving the problem, are summarized below.

Colored light clock and new unit time colored light unit system:
In this color light type time measuring device (color light clock), the minutes m and seconds s in each time consisting of the conventional hours h, minutes m and seconds s are multiplied by 5, or 60 minutes m and 60 seconds s, respectively. Define a new unit time called 5 minutes (mb) and 5 seconds (s _b ), which are divided into 12 equal parts; Ray ( _mb ) and Sum; Wa (s _{b )} .
Starting from 0 o'clock (0h, 0m, 0s) in standard time with a fixed cycle ( _1dn ) 43200 (s) of 12 hours for half a day, the second (s) of the SI basic unit is 5 and the sum (s _b ) 5s. , The sum (s _b ) is 12 to the minute (m) 60 (s), the minute (m) is 5 to the dawn ( _{mb) 300 (s), and the dawn (m b )} is 12. The unit system is represented as a unit system in which the carry and the return to the starting point 0 are repeated at the time (h) 3600 (s) and at the time (h) 12 at 43200 (s) for half a day. It is called a unit system.
In addition, () is attached to the unit name of the color light unit system, and 1 is added before the symbol XX of each unit time for a fixed period constituting a plurality of unit times (1 XX). ) Is displayed.
Further, in the color light unit system, the unit time of the three types of units, each of which is carried by 12, is the hour (h) in the hour (h) dawn ( _{mb) sum (s b )} . ) Is called the first unit time and the fixed cycle formed by it is called the half day (1 _dh ) of the first fixed cycle, and the dawn ( _mb ) of the unit time is called the second unit time and the fixed cycle formed by it. The time of two fixed cycles (1h) is called, and the sum of unit times (s _b ) is called the third unit time and the fixed cycle formed by it is called the minute of the third fixed cycle (1 m).
Further, the control unit is
In the unit time of 12 unit times of the three types of units constituting each of the first to third fixed periods (h) in the same order of unit time in the sum ( _{mb) sum (s b )} , the colored light is emitted. In the case of the color group light, the same color group light is emitted, and in the case of the 10 basic color light excluding the quasi-reset light, the same chromaticity classification light or adjacent chromaticity classification light adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction is emitted. The color light of the same color group, the same chromaticity classification, or the adjacent chromaticity classification is called an identity color light. The "same chromaticity-divided light" here is light that is classified in a region having the same color in the chromaticity coordinates, and the "adjacent chromaticity-divided light" surrounds the white group in the chromaticity coordinates. It is a region adjacent to this region in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction (circumferential direction) when the region of a predetermined color arranged so as to be used is used as a reference.
In this display method using the same color light, a monochromatic light component common to both color lights exists near both sides of the boundary line of two adjacent lights in the ten basic colors, and the common monochromatic light component is present. The existence depends on the fact that any adjacent light can be used.
In addition, the light emitting part is arranged for each unit of each unit time (time), and the difference in properties depending on the shape, size, position, etc. complements the intuition for the unit of the unit time. ..

Small unit time display (small mark, attribute value change):
In this color light type timekeeping device (color light clock), ( _{mb) and (s b )} of each unit time (time) of the color light unit system displayed by the color light clock are divided into five equal parts (sub-unit time minutes). When displaying m) and seconds (s),
Every hour of minutes (m) and seconds (s) of five small unit times, respectively, in which the control unit passes through the dawn (mb) and the sum (sb) of the unit time of the first to third fixed cycles. In addition, an instruction mark that changes its properties in five stages is displayed on the instruction mark part of the small unit time, and if further intuition is required, each unit time dawn ( _mb ) and sum. Within the range of the chromaticity classification of each colored light corresponding to ( _sb ), the attribute value including at least one of the brightness and the stimulus purity (chromaticity) of the colored light is changed in 5 stages, and the strength and weak color brought about by each colored light is changed. The order of appearance of stimuli is unified among the unit times of each unit, a sense of rhythm is created, and the distinctiveness between each small unit time display is improved.

(1) Changes over time in the direct light component (background that came to mind):
Since ancient times, humans have lived surrounded by "color changes of natural light" that are repeated every day, and in particular, changes in the sunshine at sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening have become established in people's a priori sense of time. There is. That is, the change in the direct achievement of sunlight from the morning to the daytime causes the peak value of the monochromatic light spectrum to appear in the order of red, yellow-red, yellow, green, and blue, and purple (monochromatic light iris).・ The shift to white in the daylight, which also includes indigo), gives people a sense of time through the order of changes in the sunshine. The change in sunshine from midday to evening is a change in which the peak value disappears in the reverse order of the morning.

Transition of peak main wavelength value of morning and evening sunshine:
Table 1 shows that the composition ratio of each monochromatic light wavelength band of red (R) yellow-red (O) yellow (Y) green (G) blue (B) purple (P) of direct light from the sky changes with the passage of time. It shows an example of doing. It is the observation value at the Japan Meteorological Agency High-Rise Weather Station (Tsukuba City) on December 15, 2013 (Direct report on the solar spectrum using the Japan Meteorological Agency High-Rise Weather Station No. 72 2017 "Scattering All-Sunlight Meter (MS-710)". The percentage value of each direct light energy calculated from Fig. 8) published in "Test observation of components and scattering components" is shown. In addition, although the data before 6:40 am, when there is no direct light from the sun, is not shown in Table 1, the reflected light arrives from the sky at this time, and the sunrise is mainly composed of purple, which is a complex color. Colored light is often observed. In addition, green, blue, or purple of monochromatic light is hardly recognized in the actual color sense, but these are scattered in the sky and the opposite color ratio remains high in the sunlight, which is the amount directly achieved on the ground, and its chromaticity. This is because the points are near the white chromaticity division.

People's sense of time:
From Table 1 above, with the passage of time from early morning to midday, the "peak wavelength band" of the direct light surrounding people is red (R) yellow-red (YR) yellow (Y) green (G) blue (B). It can be read that the transition is in order, and the transition is to white (W), which is a composite color including purple (P) of monochromatic light. Although not shown in the table, in the afternoon, the color light in the peak wavelength band disappears in the reverse order of the morning from 14:00 to the evening. In addition, the L (red), M (green), and S (blue) pyramidal cells of people are strongly stimulated in the order of appearance of the peak wavelength band, and the color light change in these orders over many generations is Unconsciously, it brings a sense of time as a priori intuition of people.

数字は各ピーク色光のエネルギー（ワット）値の比％である、～6:40の朝焼けの紫［Ｐ、ＲＰ］等は天空からの反射光（回折光や散乱光）である、叉、経時感覚と体内時計の概日リズムには単位時間の時（ｈ）の推移が関係している。

The number is the ratio% of the energy (watt) value of each peak color light, purple [P, RP] of the sunrise at ~ 6:40 is the reflected light (diffracted light or scattered light) from the sky, or over time The transition of time (h) per unit time is related to the sensation and the circadian rhythm of the biological clock.

Fixed-direction increase / decrease light and reset light of the main wavelength value In addition, at midnight or midnight, which is the division of the morning and afternoon of the day, the natural light becomes white or pink of the composite light having no main wavelength value. That is, at midnight or midday, the fixed direction increase / decrease of the main wavelength value is reset by white or pink light, and the resumption of the fixed direction increase / decrease of the main wavelength value in the next cycle is conscious, and the sense of time is renewed. To. The purple group light on the chromaticity diagram is a composite light consisting of reddish purple and purple, which does not have a main wavelength value, but it includes the direct achievement of monochromatic light purple and has its own peak value (self-peak value). It is not the peak of all monochromatic light). For this reason, purple is treated as colored light having both the characteristics of composite light in which the main wavelength value does not exist and the characteristics of monochromatic light that increases or decreases the main wavelength value in a fixed direction. The present invention has focused on the fact that these color changes of natural light bring about a sense of time, and have come up with a new technique.
The pink is positioned as a color group light (composite light) that can replace white.

(2) Concept of time and time:
In order to explain the technique included in the present invention in an easy-to-understand manner, the concept of unit time (time) and time in the present technique will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 (a) to 19 (c). The lower part of FIGS. 19A to 19C shows an example of the color of the colored light emitted from the light emitting unit.

Time means the length between two points in the flow of time. This method uses "unit time" as the unit of time division. In this method, in FIG. 19, each new unit time of h (1 hour) (b) dawn (mb) of (a) and the sum (s _b ) of ( _c ) is defined, and the unit time is defined. Time means a certain amount of time. Therefore, the time can be said to be the number of unit times that elapse a certain cycle constituting the fixed number of unit times, and the time can be said to be the order of the unit times that elapse a certain cycle. "Time" means, for example, a time point or a division of time in a day, and is a concept having a range in the passage of time. Further, "unit time" is a concept representing the length (division) of time that is the basis of discussion. When a plurality of unit times included in a fixed cycle conform to the "hour system", the unit time can be treated as a time.
Both the above concepts are included in the dawn ( _{mb) and sum (s b )} of the new unit time (time) defined by this method, but the new unit time (time) defined by this method is , The predetermined color light to be displayed has a strong meaning as a corresponding "time division". Therefore, here, except when the concept represents a time point or when the time in a broad sense of the color light unit system is represented, it is referred to as "unit time".
According to the concept of time with this width in the flow of time, 1 o'clock (h) refers to the first unit time in a half day as a fixed cycle, and when expressed in seconds, it is from 1:00:00 to 1. It refers to hours 59 minutes 59 seconds.
In the clock terminology (January 2017) shown on the official website of the Japan Clock Association (JCWA) (address is shown below), "time measuring device" means "time indication or time measurement". Is defined as "a device that performs individually or simultaneously", and "clock" is defined as "a time measuring device that indicates a time".
https: //www.jcwa.or.jp/pdf/jcwa_t006.pdf

This technique has a feature of selectively emitting four or more colored lights (reset light and three primary colors) included in the 12 basic colors whose chromaticity classification is defined in the JIS chromaticity diagram. The JIS chromaticity diagram is a chromaticity diagram shown in Reference Appendix 1 of Japanese Industrial Standards Z8110: 1995 (color display method-color name of light source color), and is shown in FIG. 1 of the present application. In FIG. 1, x and y indicate the chromaticity coordinates of the XYZ color system according to JISZ8781-3: 2016 (color measurement-part 3: CIE tristimulation value). The "chromaticity classification" is a region where the chromaticity points of each basic color light exist on the JIS chromaticity diagram. The 12 basic colors are red (R), yellow-red (YR), yellow (Y), yellow-green (GY), green (G), and blue-green (BG) whose chromaticity classification is defined in the JIS chromaticity diagram. ), Blue (B), Blue-purple (PB), Purple (P), Red-purple (RP), Pink (Pk), and White (W). Here, yellow-red is sometimes called daidai (orange). When 4 or more colored lights are selected from the 12 basic colors, the unique color (red, yellow, green, blue) and its complementary colors (blue-green, bluish-purple, red-purple, yellow-red (or yellow-orange)) are selected. Or, it is conceivable to target a plurality of colored lights in which other colors are added to these.
Here, as the above-mentioned 12 basic colors, those determined based on a chromaticity diagram or a color system other than the JIS chromaticity diagram (FIG. 1) may be used.

Here, 1 hour is 60 minutes and 1 minute is 60 seconds. 60 unit times are required to make a fixed cycle 1 hour with 1 minute as a unit time, and 60 unit times are required to make a fixed cycle 1 minute with 1 second as a unit time. On the other hand, the basic colors of the JIS chromaticity diagram are 12 colors.
Therefore, in this technology, according to the time method that divides one day and sets the time, continuous time is divided into one day or a fixed cycle that repeats in half-day units, and the half day ( _dh ) is divided into 12 equal parts. A new _{composition consisting of the conventional 1 hour (h), the 5 minutes dawn (mb) obtained by dividing this 1 hour into 12 equal parts, and the sum of 5 seconds (s b )} obtained by dividing 1 minute (m) into 12 equal parts. -The unit time is defined, and-the unit time (time) of each unit is unified to 12 or 5, and the unit system that repeats the carry is formed with a small number of bases, and the time and time are displayed by a few colored lights. Further, here, this unit system is called a color light unit system.
In addition, unit time and time are different concepts in terms of time points, but they are also common concepts in terms of time division. Therefore, in this specification, when the explanation as a common concept should be noted, the explanation is described as "unit time (time)".
Here, the unit time (time) of each unit of the color light unit system of (h) (m _b ) (m) (s _b ) (s) has elapsed, and 12, 12, 5, 12, 5 respectively. Each time the carry is carried out, the unit time (time) of each unit is associated with a colored light or mark that changes in a predetermined color order, and the unit time (time) or time of any of the units is displayed.
In addition, the new unit times named Rei ( _{mb) and Sum (s b )} are gradual time flows that elapse at one-fifth the speed of the conventional minutes m and seconds s, respectively. And the parallel display of those minutes m and seconds s and dawn (mb) and sum (s _b ) is the number of _{dawn (mb) and sum (s b ) and} 5 Minutes and seconds are represented as minutes m and seconds s in the conventional unit system consisting of the product with the product and the sum of the minutes (m) and seconds (s) of the fractions. It is easy to imagine, and it is a method that makes the conventional time of minutes m and seconds s perceive in an integrated manner. The subscript "b" is an acronym for Big.

Each unit time (time) and color light unit system:

表２は、上述の色光単位系に則った桁上がりを示している。
ここで、変数ｋは０又は１であり、ｋ＝０は午前を示し、ｋ＝１は午後を示す。変数ｊは、０～１１の整数であり、一定周期に含まれる１２の単位時間(時刻)の内、どの順の単位時間を指すかを示す。変数ｉは、０～４の整数であり、単位時間に含まれる５の「小単位時間」の内、どの順の「小単位時間」を指すのかを示す。「小単位時間」は図２０に示すように単位時間を５等分した概念であり、単位時間が５分であれば「小単位時間」は１分であり、単位時間が５秒であれば「小単位時間」は１秒である。又、（Ｔ）は本・色光単位系の周期（1ｄ_ｈ)を示し、ｄは日、ｄ_ｈの添字_ｈは半日のhalfを示す、尚、各時間や時刻は、各単位の時刻（上記記数）の総和により取決められ、その精度も定まる。

Table 2 shows the carry according to the above-mentioned color light unit system.
Here, the variable k is 0 or 1, k = 0 indicates the morning, and k = 1 indicates the afternoon. The variable j is an integer from 0 to 11, and indicates in which order of the 12 unit times (time) included in the fixed cycle. The variable i is an integer from 0 to 4, and indicates in which order the "small unit time" is pointed out among the 5 "small unit times" included in the unit time. As shown in FIG. 20, "small unit time" is a concept in which a unit time is divided into five equal parts. If the unit time is 5 minutes, the "small unit time" is 1 minute, and if the unit time is 5 seconds. The "small unit time" is 1 second. Further, (T) indicates the period (1 d _h ) of the book / color light unit system, d indicates a day, and the subscript _h of d _h indicates a half day, and each time and time is the time of each unit (above). It is agreed by the sum of the numbers), and its accuracy is also determined.

Character classification of colored light and its functions:
The above is an outline of the time and time display method in the present technology, but the main role of this method is the colored light corresponding to the unit time (time). Below, the characteristics and functions of each color light applied to this method are summarized by their names. Further, this description is for facilitating the preferred embodiment, and does not limit the technical scope of each claim.
Color light term a. Monochromatic light: Colored light of a single wavelength, which consists of eight basic color lights of red, yellow-red, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, and bluish-purple, in which a spectral locus exists in the chromaticity division.
(Function: Increases or decreases the main wavelength value in a fixed direction according to the elapsed unit time (time))
b. Composite light: White, pink, purple, and reddish purple light that does not include the spectral locus in the chromaticity classification.
(The white group light is the reset light for the first or last unit time of a fixed period or one or two laps. The purple group light is a quasi-reset light instead of white, but cannot be a reset light with a fixed period.)
c. White group light: Composite light in which there is no main wavelength value or complementary main wavelength value in the chromaticity classification. At least one white group light exists as reset light during a fixed period.
(Function; only the start light and / or the end light. Also, no duplicate selection is made within one cycle except when all 12 or 11 color lights are selected).
d. Purple group light: Composite light consisting of purple and reddish purple, the main wavelength value does not exist in the chromaticity division, and a pure purple locus exists. However, although the purple group light other than the quasi-reset light is a composite light, it also contains purple monochromatic light components (菫, Akane), and is also 10 basic color lights whose main wavelength value is increased or decreased in a fixed direction.
(Function: In the two-lap method, it is also a quasi-reset light that serves as a substitute for the white group light. In addition, there is no duplicate selection of the color group light in the same round. )
e. Reset light: The white group light that becomes the start light or the end light of a fixed cycle or both is called the reset light, and in the two-lap method, the purple group that becomes the start light or the end light of the first and second laps excluding the reset light of the fixed cycle. Light is called quasi-reset light. Further, both are collectively referred to as reset light or the like.
(Function; The constant direction increase / decrease of the main wavelength value is reset by the disappearance of the main wavelength value of the corresponding color group light. In the two-lap method, the reset light of each round is 1 including the quasi-reset light. In the 1-circle method, 2 reset lights also exist under the condition of securing 3 primary colors.)
f. 10 basic color light: 10 color light having a chromaticity division around the chromaticity classification of the white group in 12 basic colors, and color light excluding the purple group light is called 8 basic color light. Further, the colored light selected from the 10 or 8 basic colors is the fixed-direction increasing / decreasing light of the main wavelength value.
(Function; the remaining color light after selection of start or end light is arranged from 10 basic colors)
g. Unique color equal light: Red, yellow, green, and blue are four unique colors plus purple. It should be noted that the sunlight consists of colored light in which the neutral color orange is added to the above.
(Function: Both are the colored light of the basic orbit pattern of color light selection in the two-lap method)
h. Same chromaticity light; same chromaticity-classified light in 10 basic colors other than quasi-reset light corresponding to each unit time in the same order in 3 types of fixed period or first and second half period, or adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. A general term for adjacent chromaticity-divided light and group light of the same color.
(Function; same color light corresponding to each unit time in the same order brings the same color sensation)

(3) Outline of the technique included in the present invention:
First, an outline of the technique included in the present invention will be described with reference to the examples shown in FIGS. 1 to 30.
It should be noted that the figures of the present application are diagrams schematically showing examples, and there are differences in the development status in each direction shown in these figures, and the application to the present technology is accompanied by diversity. Therefore, the consistency of each figure is uneven, and each element of the present technique is not limited to the specific example indicated by the reference numeral.

[Aspect 1] One-lap method, sensation of time and reset function The color-light type timekeeping device 100 according to one aspect of this technique is included in the 12 basic colors whose chromaticity classification is defined in Reference Appendix 1 of Japanese Industrial Standards Z8110: 1995. A light emitting unit 7 capable of selectively emitting 12 colored lights and a control unit 5 for controlling the light emission of the light emitting unit 7 are provided (see FIGS. 1 and 3). Here, a cycle composed of 4 to 12 unit times is set as a constant cycle, and among the 12 basic colors, white and pink are set as the white group (FIG. 1, reference numeral GW), and the rest are set as 10 basic colors (FIG. 1, 1. With reference numeral G10), purple and reddish purple among the 10 basic colors are designated as the purple group, and the order of color light selection from the 10 basic colors surrounding the white group is as follows.
(A) One color of the purple group (one of the colors in the purple group), red, yellow-red, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, bluish-purple, and the other color of the purple group (a). A counterclockwise order R1 that turns in the direction of (one of the other colors in the purple group), and (b) one color in the purple group, bluish purple, blue, bluish green, green, yellowish green, yellow, yellowish red, red, and. It is assumed that there is a clockwise order R2 that turns in the direction of the other one color of the purple group.
In the fixed cycle, the control unit 5 emits the colored light of the white group in at least one unit time of the first unit time and the last unit time, and the counterclockwise order R1 or the right in each of the remaining unit times. The light emitting unit 7 selectively emits 4 to 12 colored lights including the three primary colors so that the colored lights of the 10 basic colors having no overlap in the rotation order R2 are emitted.
(Action and effect)
In the above aspect 1, the colored light of 10 basic colors changing in the counterclockwise order R1 or the clockwise order R2 orbiting around the white group in each unit time excluding at least one unit time of the first and the last in a fixed period. Brings a sense of time, and the color light of the white group resets the sense of time in at least one unit time of the first and last of a fixed cycle. Therefore, the first aspect can provide a color light type time measuring device that makes it easy to intuitively grasp the time and time even with only the color light.

(Supplement 1) Various characteristics of purple In addition, the "one color of the purple group" in the order of both sides of R1 and R2 refers to either purple or reddish purple. In R1 and R2, purple and reddish purple can be exchanged because purple and reddish purple light before dawn and after sunset are reflected light from the sky. This is because the appearance situation varies depending on the situation of molecules, water vapor, aerosol, and the like.
Further, the first 10 basic colors of the counterclockwise order R1 in a fixed cycle are not limited to one color in the purple group (one of the colors in the purple group), and may be any of red, yellow-red, and the like, and the last. The 10 basic colors are not limited to the other one color in the purple group, and may be any of bluish purple, blue, and the like. This also applies to the case of clockwise order R2 in a fixed period, and the purple group light in the case of this orbital light is treated as monochromatic light whose main wavelength value is increased or decreased in a fixed direction.
However, the order of change of the colored light in each fixed cycle is the same in the fixed cycle of any unit, and the circumferential directions R1 and R2 of the colored light do not change in each fixed cycle.
(Supplement 2) Sense of time and reset In the above, the number of unit hours included in a fixed cycle is set to "4 or more" because the three-color light excluding the reset light of the white group that always exists is the three primary color light or its It can be an intermediate color light that replaces any of them, and it is set so that the loci of the chromaticity points of the three color lights form a surface surrounding the chromaticity division of the white group and provide a sense of time.
Further, the white group light is set as the start light or the end light in the 12 basic color lights, but these are composite lights having no main wavelength value, and the fixed direction increase / decrease of the main wavelength value formed by the constant direction circumferential light. This is because it can play a role of interrupting and restarting the next fixed-direction increase / decrease of the main wavelength value. It should be noted that this reset light always has one color light (interruption / restart) during a fixed period (two separate lights are possible in the one-circle method), and the white group light is selected only for the reset light.
(Supplement 3) Application example of Aspect 1 The colored light of Aspect 1 displays the time in the lapse order of the unit time (time) starting from 0 o'clock, 0 minute, and 0 second of the standard time and the time which is the elapsed time. It is also used as a clock. As an example of this, a Japanese clock that expresses the time when the day and night of the spring equinox and the autumn equinox with the unit time of 2 hours are the same length by the fixed time method, switching the fixed cycle of each 12 hours between the morning and the afternoon and whitening only the reset light There is a one-lap type color light clock that does not require identification by blinking or blinking in the first and second half cycles for 24 hours, which is displayed in a pattern with different colors of pink and pink. In addition, as the display of the unit time exceeding one day, there are a color light calendar showing the day of the week, a color light day turning, and a color light display of the month when one year and 12 months have passed. Further, in the one-lap method, a color light stopwatch that displays the time as the elapsed number of unit times (time) from the operation time (reference time) to the end time, or a color light advance that indicates the process progress of work or a meeting, etc. There are a wide range of applications such as totals.

(Supplement 4) Example of 1-lap method FIG. 22 schematically shows an example of the emission order of the 12 basic colors of the 1-lap method. The reference numerals shown in FIG. 22 correspond to the reference numerals of the present application, reference numeral “9-1” indicates a modification of FIG. 9, reference numeral “10-1” indicates a modification of FIG. 10, and reference numeral “11-”. 1 ”to“ 11-3 ”indicate a modified example of FIG. In addition, "/" indicates "or", and the downward arrow indicates that it is the same as the upper color.
The orbit of each color light of the one-circle method of FIG. 22 is classified into the following (A1) to (A4).
(A1) All 12-color light display;
Figures 9 and 10 are examples of making full use of 12-color light. In FIG. 9, all color groups of color group light and 10 basic color lights correspond clockwise in 12 unit times, and the emission order is white group light in the first and last unit times with respect to 12 unit times of one fixed cycle. Corresponds to each remaining unit time, starting from purple in clockwise order R2, bluish purple, blue, bluish green, green, yellowish green, yellow, yellowish red, and red to reddish purple in all 12 Colored light corresponds, and this order is the order that makes you feel the light and dark of the day in a Japanese clock (24-hour clock) with 2 hours ticking (toki). In FIG. 22, the first unit time may be white and the last unit time may be pink as shown in FIG. 9, or the first unit time may be pink and the last unit time may be white as shown by the reference numeral “9-1”. .. In these examples, the purple color of the ox tick may be changed to magenta, and at the same time the red purple of the dog tick may be changed to purple.
Further, FIG. 10 shows an example in which the orbit changes counterclockwise, and the emission order of the reference numerals “10-1” in FIGS. 10 and 22 is that the first unit time is white group light (white or pink). Yes, from R1 in counterclockwise order for each remaining unit time, reddish purple to red, yellowish red, yellow, yellowish green, green, bluish green, blue, and bluish purple, and other purple group light from one color light of the purple group. All 12 colors of light, including other white group lights, correspond to this order, and this order is suitable for those that make you feel the temperature difference between spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
(A2) Partial color light display;
FIG. 11 shows an example in which 7 colors of 12 basic colors are adopted, and intermediate colors of yellowish green and yellowish red are also adopted. This emission order indicates the emission order of the day of the week, and here, a fixed cycle is formed from the 7th day (unit time), the first day is white group light (pink), and the remaining days are on the left. The color light that circulates around R1 and ends in purple is associated with it. In the light emission order of the reference numeral "11-1" in FIG. 22, the first day of the week is magenta (reddish) in the fixed cycle, and the colored light of the clockwise order R2 starting from blue is emitted on each of the remaining days. Correspondingly, white (purple) is used as the end light. Further, the light emission order of the reference numerals “11-2” and “11-3” in FIG. 22 is also possible.
(A3) Minimum color light display;
As a typical example of the minimum color light display, as shown in FIGS. 27 and 30, four-color light representing four seasons and quarters is used as yellow-green (YG) in spring, blue (B) in summer, and red-purple (RP) in autumn. In winter, it is white (W), and the images of young grass, blue sky, autumn leaves, and snow are represented by a single color of the calendar.
(A4) Selective display of 4 to 12 color lights;
As shown in FIG. 17, in a progress meter or the like indicating the progress of a scheduled time (constant cycle) with each process as a unit time, the progress of various numbers of processes can be selected from 4 to 12 unit times of colored light. It may be displayed and the progress in each step process may be displayed by an element different from the colored light (such as the phase of the moon).

[Aspect 2] Two-lap method The color-light type timekeeping device 100 according to another aspect of the present technology also includes a light emitting unit 7 and a control unit 5. Here, a cycle composed of 12 unit times is defined as a constant cycle, the first half of the constant cycle is defined as the first half cycle, the latter half is defined as the second half cycle, and the colored light of the first unit time in the first half cycle and the second half cycle is defined. The start light is the start light, the color light of the last unit time in the first half cycle and the second half cycle is the end light, white and pink among the 12 basic colors are the white group (reference numeral GW shown in FIG. 1), and the rest are 10 basics. It is assumed that the color (reference numeral G10 shown in FIG. 1) is defined as purple and reddish purple among the 10 basic colors, and R1 and R2 are present in the order of color light selection from the 10 basic colors surrounding the white group. ..
The control unit 5 has the control unit 5 in the fixed period.
One of the start light of the first half cycle and the end light of the second half cycle becomes the color light of the white group.
When the start light of the first half cycle is the color light of the white group, the start light of the second half cycle becomes the color light of the white group or the purple group.
When the end light of the latter half cycle is the color light of the white group, the end light of the first half cycle becomes the color light of the white group or the purple group.
During the remaining 5 unit times of the first and second half cycles, the overlap of each color light and the purple group light within each lap should not occur, and the left or right lap of the first and second laps should be the same. Each of the five color lights of the ten basic colors is selectively emitted so that the two-color light corresponding to the unit time of the order becomes the adjacent chromaticity-classified light or the same chromaticity-classified light that are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. It has an aspect of emitting light from a part.
(Action and effect)
In the above aspect 2, the number of basic colors orbiting around the white group can be reduced in the counterclockwise order R1 or the clockwise order R2 to obtain colored light having high mutual distinctiveness. It is also reset by the white group light at the first or last unit time of a fixed period. Therefore, in the above aspect 2, it is easy to detect the time and time of the two-lap system by the sense of time. The fact that the colored light of the purple group does not overlap in the first and second half cycles means that if one of purple and reddish purple is contained in any of the half cycles, purple and reddish purple are included in the remaining unit time of the half cycle. It means that neither of them can be entered. The preferred supplement 1 of the above aspect 2 is shown below.

(Supplement 1) Same color light during two rounds When selecting the color group light of each half cycle in the above aspect 2 and the subsequent selection of the remaining 5 color lights from the 10 basic colors, the unit time is 1 , If the color light is color group light, they are the same color group light, and if the color light is 10 basic color light, the color light is in the same order during the two rounds. These are the same chromaticity-divided light without duplication of color light or duplication of purple group light in the orbit, or adjacent chromaticity-divided light adjacent to each other in the orbital direction. The same chromaticity classification light or the adjacent chromaticity classification light and the same color group light adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction are referred to as identity color light.
FIG. 8 is a representative example in which the same color light is applied to the first and second half cycles. At each unit time of the first half cycle, one of the white group lights and the unique of the 10 basic colors are shown. The color equal light corresponds to the other white group light adjacent to each color light in the same unit time as the former of the latter half cycle, and the unique color adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. -Each neutral color light corresponds. However, the color light selection in FIG. 8 includes the purpose of ensuring the distinctiveness of the first and second half cycles that do not depend on blinking / blinking, which is different from ensuring mutual distinctiveness.

(Supplement 2) Semi-reset light of purple group light The purple group light is treated as 10 basic color lights including monochromatic light having a discontinuous maximum or minimum main wavelength value, and resets the fixed direction increase / decrease of the main wavelength value. It is also a quasi-reset light of compound light. However, in the two-circle method, the purple group light adjacent to the front and back of the white group light in the circuit is not regarded as quasi-reset light, and the main wavelength value is set in a fixed direction as purple treated as monochromatic light among the above 10 basic colors. Increase or decrease. Further, the purple group light as the adjacent light is not compatible with other purple group lights. Here, the reset function of the white group light is stronger than that of the purple group light. It is the ratio of the monochromatic light of the purple group that constitutes the quasi-reset light and the purple components of the red (16) and blue (20) of the compound light that complements it even if they have high energy (44% in Table 1). This is because the visual sensitivity is low, so it is not sensed as strongly as the reset light of the bright white group. The discontinuous maximum or minimum main wavelength value light is a color light in which the main wavelength value of the monochromatic light component itself is the maximum or the minimum in the circumferential light even if the composition ratio of the component is not the maximum or the minimum value. Point to.
(Supplement 3) Time-lapse sensation of each color light The white and pink of the compound light at midnight and midnight, which are the breaks between the morning and afternoon of the day, are the beginning or end of each fixed cycle of the above 12 hours. The constant direction increase / decrease of the main wavelength value is reset according to the time of. Further, the purple group light having both characteristics of composite light and monochromatic light is suitable for either morning or evening quasi-reset light composed of purple and reddish purple, and is a fixed-direction increase / decrease light of the main wavelength value as monochromatic light. The function is exhibited.

Basic pattern of two-lap method:
FIG. 23 schematically shows an example of the emission order of the 12 basic colors of the two-lap system. “FIGS. 4 to 8” shown in FIGS. 23 and 23 correspond to FIGS. 4 to 8 of the present application, reference numerals “4-1” to “4-3” indicate modifications of FIG. 4, and reference numerals “7-1” are used. A modified example of FIG. 7 is shown, and reference numerals “8-1” to “8-3” indicate a modified example of FIG. The "/" shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 indicates "or", and the downward arrow indicates that the color is the same as the upper color.
The colored light of the 1st and 2nd laps of the 2nd lap method is classified into the following (A5) to (A8).
(A5) Same color light for 1 and 2 laps;
FIGS. 5 and 6 show an example in which the 1st and 2nd laps have the same path for both the color group light and the 10 basic color lights, which can be positioned as the laps representing 6 unit times. Here, after each color light selects the start light of the first and second half cycles from the white group light, each of the five color lights in the same order of the counterclockwise order R1 is selected from the ten basic color lights in the order of making two orbits around the white group. There is. Although FIG. 6 avoids the adoption of reddish colors, the reference numeral “6-1” in FIG. 23 avoids greenish colors, and both are methods for dealing with color-blind people.
(A6) Only the start light is replaced (W and P are swapped);
FIG. 4 shows an example closest to the change in color light in the morning. In this example, the five-color light of each counterclockwise order R1 in which the start light of the first half cycle is the white group light and the start light of the second half cycle is the purple group light is 10 It orbits around the white group twice from the basic color, and is selected in the order in which the basic color light is the same.
(A7) Only the end light is replaced (W and P are swapped);
Reference numeral "7-1" in FIGS. 7 and 23 is an example in which the end light is reset light and quasi-reset light. Five-color light in the order of reaching the white group in order R1 is selected from the ten basic colors.
(A8) All color light is replaced;
FIG. 8 utilizes the adjacent light in the orbital direction in the first and second orbits, and displays the pre- and second-half cycles of the orbit only by the colored light. This case is a case in which the 10.basic color light of the first half cycle and the second half cycle is replaced with each intermediate color light of the adjacent chromaticity division in the circumferential direction from the unique color equal light. Further, in the reference numeral "8-1" in FIG. 23, the end light of the first and second half cycles is set as the reset light, and the first half lap is from red to one white group light via the unique color of R1 in the counterclockwise order, and the second half lap is. Five-color light in the order from yellow-red to four intermediate colors in the counterclockwise order R1 via red-purple to the other white group (Pk) is selected from the ten basic colors, and the ten basic color lights in the first and second half cycles are different. In addition, since adjacent light is used here, purple and reddish purple cannot be freely exchanged in each half cycle. In the example of the reference numeral "8-2" in FIG. 23, the start light and the end light, the intermediate color light in the first half cycle, and the unique color equal light in the second half cycle are interchanged. Further, in the example of the reference numeral "8-3" in FIG. 23, the five-color light in the order of turning clockwise R2 in both the first and second laps to reach the one white group and the other white group light is a unique color from the ten basic colors. It is selected according to its neutral color.
It should be noted that 10 basic color lights are selected so that the purple group lights other than 11 or 12 when all color lights are selected do not overlap in the same orbit. Further, as shown in FIG. 23, in the examples of FIGS. 5, 6 and 8, there is white group light in the first and second half cycles, and in the example of FIG. 7, one of the white group lights is replaced with the purple group light. However, if the color light of the first and second half cycles is exactly the same color light and it is not necessary to distinguish between the first and second half cycles and their identification, the orbit of the color light may be positioned as a orbit of a fixed cycle consisting of 6 unit times.

[Aspect 3] Blinking / blinking The control unit 5 has a first half cycle and a second half in the light emitting unit 7, as shown by the reference numerals “5-1” to “5-4” and the reference numerals “10-1” in FIG. The colored light of one half cycle of the cycle is blinked or blinks, and the colored light is continuously turned on in the other half cycle to distinguish the colored light of the first half cycle and the second half cycle. In addition, "blinking", "blinking", or "continuous" thereof in FIG. 22 means a lighting state of colored light. Aspect 3 makes it easy to identify whether the changing colored light is in the first half cycle or the second half cycle, so that it is easier to detect the time and time.
Blinking and blinking can be performed in FIGS. 22 and 23 for a large number of unit-time color-light changes except for FIGS. 11 and the reference numerals “11-1” to “11-3”. It is desirable that the number of blinks is about several Hz for blinking, and the change in brightness is accompanied by a comfortable rhythm such as 1 / f fluctuation for blinking.
In addition, the timing and necessity of application of the distinction between the first and second half cycles are likely to be influenced by the unit time to which this display method is applied, the fixed cycle, or the object or field equipped.
For example, in the unit time of 1 hour, the identification of the first half and the latter half is self-evident, and it is desired to study the application method for each unit time. There are various suitability for blinking and blinking on the equipped colored light accessory clock. For these purposes, it is appropriate to change the angle of incidence of colored light into the field of view or to switch between unique colors and colored light of intermediate colors in each of the first and second half cycles. In addition, blinking / blinking on a color light advance meter or the like also serves as a warning that the scheduled time has passed. In this way, blinking / blinking is not always applied to various unit times. However, in order to maintain the intuition of many colored optical clocks, the addition of blinking blinking, which is a periodic element, is the most powerful identification method. The blinking blinking is performed to identify the colored light in the first and second half unit times of a fixed cycle consisting of even-numbered unit times in FIGS. 22 and 23, and one lap consisting of even-numbered unit times as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. It can also be applied to identify the period before and after the method.

[Aspect 4] Identity of color light unit system Time display by color light This method is 60 of the conventional unit system consisting of each unit time (time) of 12 hours h, 60 minutes m, and 60 seconds s. A new unit time dawn (mb) and sum (s _b ) are defined by dividing the minute m and the second s to be carried by, and a fixed cycle of 12 hours for half a day (1 _dh ) is defined as (1 _dh ). s) is 5 to (s _b ), (s _b ) is 12 to (m), (m) is 5 to ( _mb ), ( _mb ) is 12 to (h), (h) Consists of a unit system in which the carry is repeated to the origin (s = 0) of half a day ( _dh ) at 12, and the unit system is called a color light unit system, and the carry is carried by 5 each. s) is called a small unit time. In addition, when each consists of 12, (h), (m _b ), (1 _h ), and (1 m) of each fixed cycle constituting the unit time of three types of units (s _b ) are elapsed in the same order. In each unit time, the same color light common to the three types of unit time is emitted, and each of the five small unit times (m) (s) constitutes (1 _{mb) (1 s b )} . In each of the small unit times (m) (s) in which each fixed period of the above is passed in the same order, the same element consisting of various attribute values and display marks of colored light having the same change in five stages is used as a unit. It is displayed from the display unit arranged for each unit of time, and the elapsed unit time and each sub-unit time are displayed.
The subscript _b in (m _b ) and (s _b ) means big, d in ( _{dh) represents day, and the subscript h represents} half.
The control unit 5 in the fourth aspect is
In the first fixed cycle of half a day ( _1dh ), the color light of the basic color is selectively selected in the order including the counterclockwise order R1 or the clockwise order R2 at each first unit time (h). 7 is made to emit light, and in the second fixed cycle of 1 hour (1 h), the colored light of the basic color is emitted in the order including the counterclockwise order R1 or the clockwise order R2 at each second unit time dawn ( _mb ). The light emitting unit 7 is selectively caused to emit light, and the counterclockwise order R1 or the clockwise order R2 is included in each third unit time sum ( _sb ) in the third fixed cycle of 1 minute (1 m). The color light of the basic color is selectively emitted to the light emitting unit 7.
In particular, the control unit 5 emits colored light in each first unit time ( _h ) in the first fixed cycle of (1 dh), and colored light emitted in each second unit time (1 _mb ). The color light emitted in each of the third unit times ( _sb ) may be changed not only to the same chromaticity classification light but also to the color light of the adjacent chromaticity classification in which the three parties are adjacent to each other.
In this case, the color light changes in the order of W, R, YR, Y, G, B, P, R, YR, Y, G, and B in the first fixed period of (1 d _h ) (1 h). W, R, YR, Y, G, B, P, R, YR, Y, G, and B In order, crossing the border of the blank part (marked with ◯) in FIG. 4 to YG, BG, BP, RP, and _Pk is allowed without causing reverse order or duplication in the lap. In addition, this technique also has an aspect of a timekeeping method corresponding to the above-mentioned aspect.

(Supplement 1) Selection of display unit In the fourth aspect, the control unit 5 elapses each fixed period of (1 _{dh) (1 h) (1 m) and (1 mb) (1 s b ) in} the same order, 12 each. In the unit time of (h) ( _{mb) (s b )} of (h) and the small unit time of (m) (s) of 5 each, the same color light is applied to the former and the same display element is applied to the latter. Is displayed from the light emitting unit arranged for each unit such as each unit time, and each unit time or the like that has elapsed and the unit thereof are displayed. In this case, the user of the present device / apparatus needs to intuitively or know in advance the arrangement between the display unit and the unit of the unit time.

[Aspect 5] Identification method of three types of units In the unit time of the color light unit system described above, 1 hour is the first unit time (h), and 1 hour is divided into 12 equal parts and 5 minutes is the second unit time (m). _b ) and 5 seconds obtained by dividing 1 minute into 12 equal parts are defined as the third unit time (s _b ), and the cycle composed of the first unit time ( _h ) of 12 is the first fixed cycle (1 dh). The cycle composed of the second unit time ( _mb ) of 12 is defined as the second fixed cycle (1h), and the cycle composed of the third unit time ( _sb ) of 12 is defined as the third fixed cycle (1 m). The light emitting unit 7 in FIG. 12 is a first light emitting unit 21 arranged as a unique light emitting unit that emits colored light for the first unit time ( _h ) in the first fixed period (1 dh), and a second light emitting unit 7. The second light emitting unit 22 arranged as a unique light emitting unit that emits colored light for each second unit time ( _mb ) in a fixed period (1 h), and each third in a third fixed period (1 m). A third light emitting unit 23, which is arranged as a unique light emitting unit that emits colored light for a unit time (s _b ) of the above, may be included.
Further, the control unit 5 in FIG. 3 may perform the following controls (B1) to (B5).
(B1) The first to third unit times in the same order including the counterclockwise order R1 or the clockwise order R2 in each first unit time ( _h ) elapsed in the first fixed cycle (1dh). To selectively emit the same color light unified among the light emitting units 7.
(B2) The first to third unit times in the same order including the counterclockwise order R1 or the clockwise order R2 in each second unit time ( _mb ) that elapses in the second fixed cycle (1h). Selectively emit the same color light unified between the light emitting units 7 from the light emitting unit 7.
(B3) The light emitting unit emits the same change of the display elements in the same order unified between the two small unit times when the small unit time (m) having the second unit time (1 _mb ) as a fixed cycle elapses. To be realized in a part of or in the vicinity of 7.
(B4) The first to third unit times in the same order including the counterclockwise order R1 or the clockwise order R2 in each third unit time (s _b ) elapsed in the third fixed cycle (1 m). To selectively emit the same color light unified among the light emitting units 7.
(B5) The light emitting unit emits the same change of the display elements in the same order unified between the two small unit times when the small unit time (s) having the third unit time (1 s _b ) as a fixed cycle elapses. To be realized in a part of or in the vicinity of 7.

(Supplement 1) Three types of unit time unit identification method In this display method, the unit time unit is identified by the agreement between the unit time unit and the light emitting part that emits colored light. Must know the arrangement. Therefore, the clarity of the arrangement greatly influences the intuition of the perception. For this reason, here, emphasis is placed on differences in properties such as the size, shape, and position of the light emitting section, and the light emitting sections having different properties are associated with each unit of time, and the intuition of the agreement is achieved. Is being improved.

[Aspect 6] Display of small unit time The hour (h) of the hour (h) dawn ( _{mb) minute (m) sum (s b )} second (s) of each unit time of the color light unit system. The color light display method is specified as the unit time for both the sum ( _{mb) and the sum (s b )} to be carried by 12. Also, the minutes (m) and seconds (s) of the small unit time are carried up to dawn (1 _mb ) and sum (1 s _b ) at 5, respectively, but the display is the applicable color-light timekeeping device. It varies depending on the type and the handling policy of the small unit time.
First, there is not a high need for a small unit time display in a WLB clock having an analog display or a digital display function. In the former, the position of the hour hand on the five indexes (scales on the dial) to which the position of the minute hand or second hand belongs represents the small unit time, and in the latter, the remainder obtained by dividing the number indicating the minute or second by 5 is the small unit. This is because it represents time. However, if there is a demand for further intuition, the mark FIG. 15 that secures the display unit of each display element is used for display.
Further, as shown in the small unit time marks 60a and 60b in FIG. 12, there are five stages for both small unit times in which the fixed period of the fixed period of dawn (1 _{mb) or sum (1 s b )} elapses in the same order. The same changing display element is expressed to ensure the distinctiveness between the small unit times of each unit.
Further, when the intuition of the color light display is emphasized, the color light emitted in each unit time can be changed in a unified manner, and the rhythmic feeling generated there can be complemented to ensure the distinctiveness.

(Supplement 1) Relationship with Kelly chromaticity diagram In order to apply the Kelly chromaticity diagram to this method instead of the JIS chromaticity diagram, it is necessary to take measures against the difference between it and the JIS chromaticity diagram. In the Kelly chromaticity diagram, (1) all the intermediate colors of the 10 basic colors are clearly shown, (2) the chromaticity division of bluish purple is reduced to the boundary line with the two intermediate colors, and (3) the chromaticity of white. There are differences from the JIS chromaticity diagram, such as the relatively large classification, and many of these differences can be resolved by applying the conditions of the same color light.
That is, in (1), red, red-yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, bluish-purple, purple, and red-purple among the 10 basic colors have each intermediate color portion marked with ○○ is △△. It is effective to treat the above-mentioned identical color light, and in (2), treat blue-purple as the basic color light and treat the two intermediate colors sandwiching the region line of the boundary of the chromaticity division as the adjacent light of the basic color. In the problem of white in (3), the white group area of the JIS chromaticity diagram is drawn by the outline of the dotted line on the Kelly diagram, and the gap between the Kelly diagram and the JIS diagram is treated as "light color" in the JIS diagram. For the light color region, it is effective to allow the chromaticity point of either the outer edge color light or the white group light to cross the border. In addition, depending on the alternative chromaticity diagram, it may be necessary to divide the functions of reset light and constant-direction orbiting light, and to take measures against excess or deficiency of the number of colored lights and the number of achromatic colors. It can be said that the alternative by the figure depends on the success or failure of this.
The Kelly diagram is a diagram with chromaticity classification shown in FIG. 2 with explanation of Japanese Industrial Standards Z8110.

WLB clock WLB clock is the hour (h) dawn ( _{mb) sum (s b )} of the color light unit system, the minute (m) second (s) of the small unit time, and the hour h, minute m of the conventional unit system. , Seconds s, and a color optical analog with a function to display the unit time (time) of each unit system consisting of the composite unit system including both and the unit systems, and a switching function to select the unit system to be adopted. Clocks and colored optical digital clocks.
In addition, the time set to be displayed by the WLB clock has the accuracy of the physical time on the spot if it is the time of the conventional unit system (C2), and it is the time of the color light unit system (C1). In the case of, there is a place of slow time flow of human time in which the psychophysical quantity of colored light is added to the former, and it is the case of the complex unit system (C3) time in which the former two are included. Is equipped with the flexibility of sharpening time on the spot.
Table 3 below shows the relationship between the clock and the unit system as seen from the character classification of time.

表３に示すように、人間的時間を表示する色光時計は、色光表示のみを行う時計であり、時黎和の各単位時間と小単位時間よりなる色光単位系が採用されている。ただし、色光時計は、時と黎の単位のみの表示も可能である。又、物理的時間を表示する従来時計には、時分秒に基づいた従来単位系が採用され、叉、メリハリ時間をも表示する複合時計には、色光単位系と従来単位系の両方が独自に又は並行して採用される。尚、ＷＬＢ時計では、小単位時間の（ｍ）（ｓ）と従来単位系の分ｍと秒ｓは桁上がりが異なる別種の単位として並列に表現されている。又、前記表示時間を２種類に統合する場合もあり、その場合は前記人間的時間とメリハリ時間が統合された時間（これも人間的時間と呼ぶ）と物理的時間が使い分けされる。

As shown in Table 3, the color light clock that displays human time is a clock that displays only color light, and a color light unit system consisting of each unit time of time and sum and a small unit time is adopted. However, the colored optical clock can also display only the unit of time and dawn. In addition, the conventional clock that displays the physical time adopts the conventional unit system based on the hour, minute, and second, and the compound clock that also displays the sharp time has its own color light unit system and the conventional unit system. Adopted in or in parallel. In the WLB clock, the small unit time (m) (s) and the minute m and the second s of the conventional unit system are expressed in parallel as different types of units having different carry. Further, the display time may be integrated into two types, and in that case, the time in which the human time and the sharp time are integrated (also referred to as human time) and the physical time are used properly.

The book-WLB clock shown in Table 3 and FIGS. 13, 16 and 28 includes a display unit 2 including a light emitting unit 7 and a control unit 5. The control unit 5 accepts the selection of any one of the following display methods (C1) to (C3), and controls the display unit 2 by the accepted display method.
(C1) In a fixed cycle, the unit time of hour (h) dawn ( _{mb) sum (s b )} and each unit time consisting of each small unit time (m) and second (s) are counterclockwise. The colored light of the basic color is displayed in the order of R1 or clockwise R2, and the display element such as a mark that changes in five stages is selectively displayed on the light emitting unit 7 or its vicinity in the latter small unit time to display the hour hand. Color light display setting to erase numbers and numbers.
(C2) A conventional display setting for displaying at least one of a number indicating the time and a hand in units of hours h, minutes m, and seconds s on the display unit 2.
(C3) The counterclockwise order R1 or right in the unit time of hour (h) dawn ( _{mb) sum (s b )} and each unit time of minutes (m) or seconds (s) of small unit time in a fixed cycle. The color light of the basic color is selectively emitted to the light emitting unit 7 in the order including the rotation order R2, and at least one of the numerical value indicating the time and the hand in units of hour h, minute m, and second s is displayed on the display unit 2. Composite display settings to be displayed.

(Supplement 1) Realization method of color light display method C1 in color light analog clocks Color light single display C1 that requires erasure of the actual hour hand cannot be realized in the original color light analog clock, and there are two display method options, C2 and C3. Will be. However, as shown in FIG. 13, a smartphone method is adopted, and the light emitting portion is a rear back portion 71 (7) of the dial number, a ring-shaped light emitting portion 72 (7) in the center of the dial surface, or a point. A clock-shaped or rod-shaped index 73 (7) is used, and these are moved in synchronization with the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand to form a light emitting part of 12 display color lights, and the hour (h) clock ( _mb ) sum is used for each. The C1 pattern is realized by displaying (s _b ) and erasing the hour hand 70 (7) entirely. The elapsed time of the 5 small unit times of each unit constituting the dawn (1 _{mb) and the sum (1 s b )} is in the index of the small unit times 1 to 5 in which the hands form a fixed cycle of the unit time. It is naturally indicated by what number it refers to. It is also obvious in the index of the compound timepiece, and in the color light display system, the small unit time is clearly indicated by the number of the display mark.

[Aspect 7] Various display methods for various lifestyles:
By this technique including the above-mentioned aspects 1 to 6, the "mode of change" of various colored lights makes the passage of time more intuitive. Further, unlike the conventional display using numbers and hour hands, the time can be sensed without the person directly looking at the light emitting unit while performing the original work.
Furthermore, this method makes it possible to apply different types of time display settings according to changes in the lifestyle during the time of attachment to SNS, self-improvement time, etc., and each person can choose to apply this display method. Foster the autonomy of. In addition, notifying the status of this display setting in telework, etc., which is expected to become widespread in the future, not only confirms the labor contract requirements, but also deepens mutual understanding and trust among the group members. It will contribute to the formation of a highly sexual group.
However, the essence of these effects exerted by this color light type timekeeping device is that the nature of the time displayed there is mechanically added by the addition of the psychophysical quantity of color light to the conventional physical time. The traditional physical time that has been engraved can be transformed into human time that slowly flows from the past to the future, and this resurrection of human time alleviates the stress and exhaustion caused by the super-networked society. There is something in it.

[Aspect 8] Control method, program:
This technology utilizes the control method of the color light timekeeping device using the color light timekeeping device, the program of the color light type timekeeping device that makes the computer function as the color light timekeeping device, the computer readable medium on which the program is recorded, and the like. Control is done through.
In conventional clocks, time is perceived by the changing shape of numbers and changes in the image formation on the retina at the position of the hour hand, but in addition to this, this method makes time sense by the color stimulus itself. For this reason, not only the control targets are diversified, but also many control targets, setting of criteria for determining the quality thereof, timing thereof, and the like are diversified. Therefore, it is effective to construct a control system centered on the computer.

(4) Specific example of this technology:
Hereinafter, detailed examples of this technique will be described below.

<Embodiment 1> Colored light type timekeeping device (control system, block diagram)
Embodiment 1 describes an application example of the present technique to a color light type timekeeping device with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, and FIG. 2 is an external view of a color light irradiation clock.
FIG. 2 is a kind of the color light type time measuring device 100, and includes a main body box 1 having a flat box shape and a transparent crystal block 8 installed on the upper portion thereof, and the inside thereof is a unit of selection. An irradiated body 8a for indicating the time by the reflected light is installed. The irradiated body 8a is composed of a group of small dots engraved with 3D (three-dimensional) leather that reflects colored light from the light emitting unit 7, and has a design that gives an aesthetic impression. On the front surface of the main body box 1, a digital clock display unit 2a that displays hours, minutes, and seconds as before, and an operation unit 3 such as a touch panel that accepts operations such as time adjustment and wake-up time setting are juxtaposed. .. The display unit 2 is a general term for the light emitting unit 7, the irradiated body 8a, and the digital clock display unit 2a. The light emitting unit 7 in the main body box 1 can irradiate upward colored light toward the irradiated body 8a. The colored light from the light emitting unit 7 in this irradiation is reflected by the irradiated body 8a, and the time is displayed by the reflected light. Further, the light emitting unit 7 includes a backlight of different types of light sources, a floodlight, and the like, and also serves as a backlight for the digital clock display unit 2a.
In addition, when waking up set by the setting switch of 3, the unit time of various units is sequentially switched, and a warning display of high-intensity light to which another white light source is added can be displayed. The image of the small dot group processed by 3D leather illustrated here is an example of a characteristic light emitting part, which is a white wall, a translucent image with a hollow inside, a paper-cutting lantern, and a hole. It may be reflected light from a certain lantern, transmitted light, or leaked light, and displays the unit time of the agreed unit. Further, the display unit 2 may be pluralized, or the unit time of a plurality of units may be displayed as a selection display.

Control system (block diagram):
FIG. 3 schematically shows an example of the electric system of the color light type timekeeping device 100. The color light type time measuring device 100 shown in FIG. 3 includes a control unit 5 and a display unit 2, and operates by electric power from a power source. The display unit 2 has a light emitting unit 7, an irradiated body 8a, and a liquid crystal panel 2b constituting a digital clock display unit 2a. The control unit 5 includes an operation unit 3, a time reception unit 141, a program input unit 142, and the like.

Each function of the control system:
The control unit 5 includes an RTC (RealTimeClock) 101, a CPU (CentralProcessingUnit) 102, a semiconductor memory ROM (ReadOnlyMemory) 103, a semiconductor memory RAM (RandomAccessMemory) 104, a storage device 105, and an I / F (interface) 106, 107. , Etc. Since these units 101 to 107 are electrically connected to each other, information can be input and output from each other. The RTC101 is a clock circuit built in a computer, and is a circuit that constantly operates as a clock with a battery or the like. A basic program for executing the color-light type timekeeping program 110 is written in the ROM 103. The storage device 105 stores a color light type timekeeping program 110, a light emission order data group 121 indicating the light emission order of color light, a set value group 122, and the like. The emission order data group 121 includes emission order data indicating the emission order shown in FIGS. 22 and 23. The color light type timekeeping program 110 causes the control unit 5, which is a kind of computer, to function as a function control unit 111, a clock control unit 112, a color light control unit 113, and the like. The function control unit 111 reads a new color-light type timekeeping program from the program input unit 142 via the I / F 107, and makes various settings. The clock control unit 112 manages the time in cooperation with the RTC 101. The color light control unit 113 causes the light emitting unit 7 to emit color light of the chromaticity classification set according to the light emission order data from the light emission order data group 121 of the color light. A rewritable non-volatile semiconductor memory such as a flash memory can be used as the storage device 105. The CPU 102 appropriately reads the information stored in the storage device 105 into the RAM 104, and executes various processes by executing the read program.

Each function of the light emitting part:
The light emitting unit 7 and the liquid crystal panel 2b are connected to the I / F 106. The light emitting unit 7 can selectively emit a plurality of colored lights and illuminates the irradiated body 8a and the liquid crystal panel 2b. As shown in FIG. 2, the liquid crystal panel 2b displays the hours, minutes, and seconds of the conventional display method in the digital clock display unit 2a. The light emitting unit 7 that illuminates the liquid crystal panel 2b from behind the liquid crystal panel 2b also functions as a backlight for the digital clock display unit 2a.

Switching function:
The operation unit 3, the time reception unit 141, the program input unit 142, and the like are connected to the I / F 107. The operation unit 3 has switches such as an operation switch 131, a setting switch 132, and a changeover switch 133. The clock operation switch 131 is a switch for adjusting the time. When the control unit 5 receives the operation of the operation switch 131 of the clock, the control unit 5 adjusts the time of the RTC 101, changes the colored light emitted from the light emitting unit 7 at an accurate time, and displays the accurate time on the display unit 2a of the digital clock. Let me. The emission order setting switch 132 determines the emission order data to be used from the emission order data group 121 of colored light. When the control unit 5 receives the setting of the light emission order setting switch 132, the control unit 5 selects the light emission order data according to the setting from the light emission order data group 121, and holds the selected data in the storage device 105. do.
Further, the display type changeover switch 133 selects whether the fixed cycle for changing the color light is 12 hours, 1 hour (12 _mb ), 1 minute (12 _mb ), or another fixed cycle. It is a changeover switch to do. The control unit 5 holds data representing the selection of the individual display method changeover switch 133 in the storage device 105, and changes the colored light emitted by the light emitting unit 7 at a selected fixed cycle. The time receiving unit 141 receives radio waves of date / time information transmitted from a standard radio wave transmitting station. The control unit 5 adjusts the time of the RTC 101 based on the received date / time information. As a result, the time elapses starting from 0:00:00 in standard time. The program input unit 142 can read a new color-light type timekeeping program from the outside.

Light source PWM control:
24 (a) and 24 (b) schematically show a configuration example of the light emitting unit 7, and the light emitting unit 7 shown in FIGS. 24 (a) and 24 (b) has a plurality of light sources 150 and PWM. (PulseWidthModulation) It has a control unit 160. The plurality of light sources 150 shown in FIG. 24 (a) are composed of red, yellow-red, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, blue-purple, purple, red-purple, pink, and white in the JIS chromaticity diagram. It is possible to emit colored light (for example, colored light having a chromaticity marked with a circle (circle) or ◇ (diamond) shown in FIG. 1) that is included in the chromaticity classification of each of the 12 color lights. The plurality of light sources 150 shown in FIG. 24B can emit colored light included in the red, green, and blue chromaticity categories in the JIS chromaticity diagram. An LED, an OLED (organic LED), or the like can be used for each of the light sources 150 shown in FIGS. 24 (a) and 24 (b).
The PWM control unit 160 makes it possible to change the ratio of the time for turning on the current supplied to each light source 150, and repeats the on / off of the current in a short cycle that is invisible to the eye, and turns on / off the on time. The ratio of time is turned on within the allowable on-time of each light source to change the apparent brightness of the LED or the like. At the same time, the combination of the three primary color light sources is changed to emit colored light of each chromaticity category.

Lighting method of 12-color and 3-primary-color light sources:
When the 12-color light is selectively emitted, the light emitting unit 7 shown in FIG. 24A turns on only the light source corresponding to the emitted color light and turns off the remaining 11 light sources. For example, when the current unit time corresponds to red, the light emitting unit 7 may turn on only the red light source and turn off the remaining 11 light sources.
The light emitting unit 7 shown in FIG. 24 (b) selectively emits the three primary color lights. When color light other than the three primary color lights is required, the light emitting unit 7 turns on two or more light sources and performs PWM control so as to have the corresponding chromaticity classification.

<Embodiment 2>"One-lapmethod"
The one-circle method includes a 12-color all-color light emission method without color light selection and a method of selectively emitting four or more minority-colored lights. The former allows duplication of white group light and purple group light. The color difference between the colored lights at each unit time is reduced. However, this method is a powerful method for realizing a colored optical clock that does not depend on blinking or blinking. In addition, the latter has a wide range of unit time, and has various characteristics as a timekeeping device, such as those whose fixed cycle exceeds one day and those whose width fluctuates around the average value. There is.
If this one-lap method is classified by application, color clocks, stopwatches, calendars (day-turning), alarm clocks, progress meters, switching of display methods and transmission of their selection status, recording of display results (WLB meter), etc. Yes, its functions are diverse.

"Specific example" of "use classification of one-lap method"
Display by colored light in units of "month" In the case of the "white start purple via clockwise one lap" method, the control unit 5 controls the light emission of the light emitting unit 7 so as to start from white and be in the clockwise order R2. is doing. Since this example is suitable for the warmth of the season of one year with January as the unit time, it is suitable for the periodic display of one year with one month as the unit time, for example, the month display in the color light calendar. be.

Japanese clock In the case of the "white start red-purple via all area counterclockwise one round" method, the control unit 5 controls the light emission of the light emitting unit 7 so as to start from white and be in the counterclockwise order R1. This example is suitable for displaying a colored light Japanese clock that displays the time of the spring equinox and the autumn equinox in which two hours divided into 12 equal parts of a day (24 hours) are used as the unit time. Further, the light emitting unit 7 of this colored light Japanese clock may be a light emitting unit of a symbol clock that expresses characters and symbols representing the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac.

Colored light day turning and calendar (Fig. 27);
Day-turning clearly indicates what day and day of the week the day is, but the calendar does not have a function to specify the day and day. However, the calendar is convenient for taking a bird's-eye view of nearby days and scheduling and taking notes of each day's schedule. However, I often forget to read the memo.
In order to ensure the utilization of the book / colored light day turning and calendar, the day of the week output from the calendar control is turned and the day of the week is displayed on the calendar day display 7-a. It is displayed in, and the month, day, and day of the week can be specified by bright colored lights and numbers, and it has a function to clearly display the event schedule 3 and its presence or absence.

FIG. 27 shows the display of hours 02, minutes 34, and seconds 56 of the segment control method, the day of the week display of the dot matrix method (Saturday and Sunday of 18 days), and the input device and display device of the touch panel method 4 (year and display device). Various screens composed of a month, a day of the week table, a small unit time) and an LCD display (background image) are described (actually, they may be aggregated into either method).
Alternatively, in the memo writing function, the memo contents input from the touch panel 4 may be recalled and confirmed by the numbers on the day of the seven-day table. Further, the background image 2 of the calendar may be a color light display of an LCD type photographic image, or may be a one-color positive photograph representing a day.
It should be noted that the start / stop / reset of the book / color light calendar, the input of memos, the switching of images, etc. are made to function by the operation of the prepared changeover switch 133 and various controls by the control unit 5 in accordance with FIG. 28. However, the operation switches 131 may be a switch 4 installed by a touch panel method. Further, a memo of each daily schedule may be input and stored 105, and automatically displayed on the display unit 3 at the start of the day of the week, and the memo content of the day may be recalled and displayed by the touch panel 4 only when necessary. However, the displayed contents shall be reset every time the day elapses. The date 7-b is displayed as necessary.

"Color light step progress meter"
Activities such as meetings, lectures, and presentations often have a structure in which various steps (s), that is, divisions of activities such as kishōtenketsu, kishōtenketsu, kishōtenketsu, and kishōtenketsu are connected. This color light advance meter simultaneously sets the progress of the step _{s in the order of the step in the scheduled time (Σt s ) consisting} of the step time (ts) of 4 to 12 and the progress of the step time ts. I tried to display it.
In this method, the average step time ta ( _{Σt s} / s) is obtained from all the input step times, the constant period T is composed of s _tas , and each t of 4 to 12 elapses after the start of measurement. The emission time of the colored light corresponding to _a is delayed or advanced by the correction time ± Δt (= t _s − t _a ) for each step, and the emission time of each step light is matched with t _s . The progress within the step time, which progresses after the start of the step, is calculated as the ratio of the count value t of each step time to the step time value t _s , and the step progress is calculated as the ebb and flow ratio of the lunar surface of the symbol clock. It is displayed for each step as such.
Further, at the end of the fixed cycle T, which is the scheduled time, the next fixed cycle is started or the count is ended (temporary suspension and resumption are also possible). If there is an advance to the scheduled time, it may emit a blinking / blinking or warning sound to prompt the step before or after or assistance to the related process (warning in case of lagging). When matching _ta with the step time t _s by the above ± Δt ( ₌ t _s − ta), the counters 4 to 12 in the clock control unit 112 in FIG. 28 are set as preset counters, and the counters are used as preset counters before the start of input. Each of the calculated correction times (± Δt) is input to each counter, the first counter is started to be counted when the progress meter is started, and the total of the count value t of the counter and the preset value (t ± Δt _s ). The time when the step time _ts is reached is defined as the count-up time of the _preset counter, and at the time of the count-up, the preset counter is reset and the count of the next counter is started. The colored lights in the specified order are emitted, and the same counts are sequentially continued to display the progress of each step time _ts . Further, the inward progress (t / t _s ) of each step is displayed by an element other than the colored light such as the fullness of the lunar surface.

<Embodiment 3>"Two-lapmethod", specific example of AM / PM clock two-lap method (white / purple start light, AM / PM clock):
FIG. 4 “white and purple alternating start 2 laps” shows a specific example of the color light change in the color light instruction. When the color of the colored light is changed every hour, the color of the colored light changes as shown in Table 4, and a repetitive operation with a fixed cycle of 12 hours is performed. It shows how the chromaticity of the chromaticity of the chromaticity category defined as the color name in the JIS chromaticity diagram of FIG. 1 is emitted during a unit time. The 12-hour color light change from 0:00 pm to the end of 11:00 pm (immediately before 0:00 pm), which continues from 0:00 am to 11:00 pm shown in Table 4, is also assumed to be repeated in the same manner as in Table 4.

但し、ＡＭ・ＰＭ時計（24時間）の場合は、前記ＡＭとＰＭを記憶し（表２の桁上がり表におけるｋが０か１かの記憶）、ＡＭ周期とＰＭ周期の各開始時期毎に周回のパターンの切替えを行うことができる。このパターンは午前０時と午後０時を其々家庭色の暖かなピンクと仕事色の高い白、午前６時と午後６時を其々夜明け色の紫と夕焼け色の赤紫とし他の各時刻は上記と同一順色光として人々の生活感覚に近い色光変化を採用することもできる。
尚、このＡＭ・ＰＭ時計では前記単位時間の（時）又は、それを組合せた各時間帯毎にそれに対応する色光の輝度レベルを切替えて色光表時させれば、この方式の自然光の輝度の反映は、1日の色光変化をよりリアルに表示したものとなる。
尚、前記時間帯毎の輝度のレベルの高、中、低の差異の事例を以下に示す。
1日２４時間の輝度のレベル、高；昼（am8時～pm４時）、中；朝・夕（pm４時～７時とam４時～７時）、低；夜（pm８時～am４時）の各８時間乃至はそれが季節変化した時間帯に区分される。又、前記時間帯の区切りやその組合せは、全単位時間（時）の総和が２４のであれば自由となる。

However, in the case of the AM / PM clock (24 hours), the AM and PM are stored (memory of whether k is 0 or 1 in the carry table of Table 2), and each start time of the AM cycle and PM cycle is stored. It is possible to switch the lap pattern. This pattern consists of warm pink and work-colored white at midnight and midnight, respectively, and dawn-colored purple and sunset-colored red-purple at 6 am and 6 pm, respectively. As for the time, it is also possible to adopt a color light change that is close to people's sense of life as the same forward color light as above.
In this AM / PM clock, if the brightness level of the color light corresponding to the unit time (hours) or each time zone in which the unit time is combined is switched and the color light is expressed, the brightness of the natural light of this method can be obtained. The reflection is a more realistic display of the change in color and light of the day.
An example of the difference between high, medium, and low luminance levels for each time zone is shown below.
Brightness level for 24 hours a day, high; noon (8:00 am to 4:00 pm), medium; morning / evening (4:00 pm to 7:00 and 4:00 am to 7:00 am), low; night (8:00 pm to 4:00 am) Each is divided into 8 hours or a time zone in which it changes seasonally. Further, the division of the time zone and its combination are free as long as the total of all unit times (hours) is 24.

Two-lap method color light change:
The transition of the color light change shown in Table 4 is shown in the order of appearance in a fixed cycle from midnight to the end of 11:00 am (until just before midnight) on the chromaticity diagram, for example, (0), (1), (2), ..., (11) is shown in FIG. The control unit 5 starts from white at midnight and passes through five unique colors such as red, yellow, green, blue, and purple (up to this point in the first half cycle) every time one hour, which is a unit time, elapses. The light emission of the light emitting unit 7 is selectively controlled so as to reach.
In this case, each color light of the two-circle system has a configuration in which the color light of the composite light including the reset light of the white group light is arranged in a series of the above-mentioned five unique color equal light and any of the light before and after it, and the start light is white. (Pink is also possible as shown by reference numeral 4-1 in FIG. 23) Or, in the morning counterclockwise, the second lap is purple of the quasi-reset light (reddish purple is also possible as shown by reference numeral 4-1 in FIG. 23). It becomes a change in color light.
From the above, the change in the color light that goes around the white group in the counterclockwise order R1 brings about the sensation of time, and the sensation of time is reset by the white group light of the first unit time of a fixed cycle and the start light purple of the second lap. Therefore, the color light type time measuring device 100 can easily grasp the time and time intuitively even with only the color light.

Another two-lap method example:
In the case of FIG. 5 “white start same route 2 laps”, the control unit 5 starts from white in both the first half cycle and the second half cycle, surrounds the white group, and is in the counterclockwise order R1 with red, yellow, green, blue, and , The light emission of the light emitting unit 7 is selectively controlled so as to change to purple. As a result, one or two laps become a common lap of colored light.
Further, although not shown, _FIG . 5 is applied to the second (mb) and third ( _sb ) unit times to ensure the distinctiveness by blinking / blinking, and the display in which the same color light is developed. There is also a method of applying FIG. 8 as a method to the first unit time (h) to omit blinking / blinking.
In the case of FIG. 6 “white start red color lack 2 laps”, the control unit 5 starts from white in the first half cycle and pink in the second half cycle, and yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue, and bluish-purple in the counterclockwise order R1. The light emission of the light emitting unit 7 is selectively controlled so as to change. The example shown in FIG. 6 is aimed at providing distinctiveness to red-green color-blind persons, who account for 80% of color-blind persons. In this case, the color light from the light emitting unit 7 is composed of monochromatic light having a low spectrum half width, white, and pink via polarized glass, and red color light does not exist and it is not necessary to distinguish it from green. ..
In the case of FIG. 7 “red start white & purple end 2 laps”, the control unit 5 changes the color light of the light emitting unit 7 to red, yellow-red, yellow, green, and blue in the counterclockwise order R1 in the first half cycle to purple. It is controlled to selectively emit light so that it changes to red, yellow-red, yellow, green, and blue in the counterclockwise order R1 in the latter half cycle and ends in white. In this example, the end light, which is the purple quasi-reset light and the white reset light in the first and second laps, makes the observer distinguish between the first half cycle and the second half cycle, respectively.
In the case of FIG. 8 “white-pink start full chromaticity classification 2 laps”, the control unit 5 selects to start from white in the first half cycle and change to red, yellow, green, blue, and purple in the counterclockwise order R1. The light emission of the light emitting unit 7 is controlled so as to start from pink in the latter half cycle and change in the order of yellow-red, yellow-green, blue-green, and bluish-purple, red-purple in the counterclockwise R1 order. To control. As a result, the light emission of the light emitting unit 7 starts from white in the first half cycle and emits the unique color or the like in the counterclockwise R1 order, and starts from pink in the second half cycle and emits light in the first half cycle of the center of the intermediate color in the counterclockwise R1 order. It emits colored light that is adjacent to the colored light. In this example, colored lights having different color feelings in the first lap and the second lap discriminate between the first half cycle and the second half cycle, and it is possible to discriminate without blinking or blinking.

<Embodiment 4> Color light unit system / display of a color light clock This display method displays a fixed cycle of half a day (dh) 12 hours _h consisting of the unit time (time) of each unit of 12 and 60, respectively. The maximum number of each display color light is reduced from 60 to 12, and it is possible to specify the time and time by a small number of color lights. The content is that each fixed period ( _1dh ) (1h) (1m) constituting each new unit time of each 12 time ( _h ) dawn (mb) sum ( _sb ) of the color light unit system is in the same order. The same color light is emitted at the unit time in the same order of the three types of units that elapse, and each unit time is displayed, and the unit corresponds to the unit of each unit time and the light emitting unit that emits the color light. It is identified by the agreement.
In order to introduce the color light unit system, it is important to enable integrated operation between the color light unit system and the conventional conventional unit system to deepen the familiarity between them.

Coexistence of old and new units (integrated operation):
In this color optical clock, a color light unit system consisting of each unit time (time) of hour (h) dawn ( _{mb) minute (m) sum (s b )} second (s) is adopted, and the unit of each unit. The aspect in which the time (time) repeats the carry with the base of 12 or 5 in the order of the arrangement is displayed.
Of these, the dawn ( _{mb) and sum (s b )} of the new unit time (time) are written as "○○ (mb), ○○ (s _b )", but this ( _{mb )} ) And (s _b ) are abbreviations and their names are called "Ray" and "Wa", and the names "Rei ( _{mb)" and "Wa (s b )} " are each unit time (time) and It is important to improve the practicality of displaying the time. That is, in the color light unit system in which the new unit time (time) dawn ( _{mb) and sum (s b )} and the minute (m) and second (s) of the small unit time carried by 5 coexist, the integration is performed. The new operation brings familiarity with the new unit time display.
For example, the dawn ( _{mb) and sum (s b )} of each new unit time (time) that coexists with the minutes m and seconds s of the conventional unit system are "○○ dawn ( _mb ) and (: +) △ minutes. If you call "(m)" or "○○ sum (s _b ) and (: +) △ seconds (s)", m or s of each unit time (time) of the coexisting conventional unit system is "○○ (m)". The concept integrated into the conventional unit system, "the sum of the product of _b ) and 5 and △ (m), or the sum of the product of ○○ (s _b ) and 5 and △ (s)" was born. The unit time (time) and each time in the unit of minutes m and seconds s of the conventional unit are perceived in an integrated manner.
On the contrary, the time of the new color light unit system of "43 minutes m21 seconds s" of the conventional conventional unit system is the unit time (time) of the quotient obtained by dividing the 43 minutes m or 21 seconds s by 5 respectively. It is 8 dawn (mb) and the remainder of 3 minutes (m), and the unit time of the quotient is 4 sums (s _{b )} and the remainder is 1 second (s). And since the multiplication table in the 5th stage is a highly intuitive operation, this mutual relationship deepens the familiarity with the new unit time (time) and naturally realizes the integrated perception.
It should be noted that the dawn ( _{mb) and sum (s b )} of the color light unit system is the time that flows slowly at a speed of one-fifth of the conventional minutes m and seconds s, and the conventional perception of minutes m and seconds s is It should be used only when strict time management is required, and the realization of this relaxed time is also considered to be the effect of applying the new complex unit system (hour) (re) (sum), (m) (s). In particular, the WLB clock, which is composed of a color-light analog clock or a color-light digital clock, has an integrated small unit time (time) display, so that the familiarity can be easily deepened.

<Embodiment 5> Arrangement of light emitting unit indicating various units In the first embodiment, the light emitting unit 7 is defined without specifying the light emitting unit that emits colored light for each unit time. (H), 5 minutes ( _{mb), 5 seconds (s b )} , the same color light is emitted in the same unit time of each selected unit, and the color light is emitted in the unit time of each unit. The unit time elapsed and the unit thereof are displayed by emitting light from the light emitting unit unique to the light emitting unit or the light emitting unit arranged as the selected light emitting unit. In addition, the small unit time of the unit of minutes (m) and seconds (s) in the same order is also displayed by the mark common to both units and the common strong and weak color stimulating light within the chromaticity classification of each unit time. The unit is displayed according to the agreement with the light emitting unit.

"Colored Light Painting Clock":
FIG. 12 shows an example of the arrangement of the first to third light emitting units 21, 22, 23 of the color light painting clock, which is an example of the color light type timekeeping device 100. The display unit 2 of this colored light painting clock has a light emitting unit 7 embedded in a painting-like opaque panel 25 housed in a frame 24.
The light emitting portion 7 has a first light emitting portion 21 having a flower pattern having the largest area, a second light emitting portion 22 having a butterfly pattern on the left side having the next largest area, and a frog pattern on the lower right having the smallest area. The third light emitting unit 23 is included. The three types of light emitting units 21, 22, and 23 are light emitting units having different properties from each other, and emit colored light that changes for each unit time (time) from the light emitting unit arranged for each unit.
For example, the first light emitting unit 21 of the flower pattern changes the color light every unit time of time ( _h ), and the change of the predetermined color order is changed for 12 hours and a half day (1 dh) or 6 hours (1 / 2 d). It repeats in the cycle of _h ).
The second light emitting unit 22 having a butterfly pattern changes the color light every unit time of the dawn ( _mb ), and repeats the change in the predetermined color order in a cycle of time (1h).
Further, the third light emitting unit 23 having a frog pattern changes the color light every unit time of the sum ( _sb ), and repeats the change in the predetermined color order in a cycle of minutes (1 m).
The color lights in the same order from the light emitting units 21 to 23 change in a common color order among the units.
The specific pattern of change may be the same as that of FIGS. 4 to 11 of the first embodiment. Further, the marks 60a and 60b for the small unit time may be displayed near the butterfly and the frog, or the third light emitting unit 23 corresponding to the unit time of the sum ( _sb ) may be omitted. Further, a WLB clock may be configured by adding a conventional digital number or an image of an hour hand to this device.

Unit display function:
The colored light painting clock shown in FIG. 12 is merely a feature painting as an appreciation object, but as described above, it is equipped with a "unit display function" of the colored light clock. The unit of the unit time displayed by this color light clock is represented by an agreement based on the type of the display object displayed by the light emitting unit and its properties, that is, differences in its size, shape, and the like. However, a third party who does not know this agreement does not understand the meaning of the color light display and it does not function as a color light clock. This point is a big difference between the instruction method of the conventional timepiece and that of the color light timepiece. That is, in the conventional clock, the unit of each time of hour, minute, and second and the type of each hour hand and the indicating surface that represent the unit naturally correspond to one-to-one, but in the color light clock, there are various agreements between the two. It has become.
The colored light painting clock shown in FIG. 12 is arranged so that elements having different differences in the uniqueness of the type of light emitting unit, that is, the type of living thing and its properties (large, medium, small), etc. can be identified. However, it is quite difficult to intuitively perceive the unit of unit time by this arrangement.
The type of light emitting unit that specifies these units includes articles such as devices, figurines, dials, hour hands, cases, etc. in which they are installed, reflective objects and transmissive objects to be irradiated with colored light, or , There is a display that the light emitting part projects. Further, the properties of the latter light emitting portion include elements such as the number, size, shape, position, and angle of incidence on the visual field. For example, in each unit of time (h) dawn ( _{mb) sum (s b )} , each light emitting part has a planar shape (; maximum area), a linear shape (: major axis or long side, ring, etc.). Then, it is assumed that each condition of the circumference length / the average width of the orthogonal line to the former is the maximum) and the point shape (; the area is the minimum) is satisfied. If the suitability of the above conditions is unknown, it is supplemented by combining with other properties.

PWM control for each light source and unit:
FIGS. 12 and 25 schematically show a configuration example of the first light emitting unit 21, the second light emitting unit 22, and the third light emitting unit 23. The first light emitting unit 21 is the colored light of the basic color in the order including the counterclockwise order R1 or the clockwise order R2 every hour (each first unit time _h ) in 12 hours (first fixed period 1 dh). It has a plurality of light sources 151 and a PWM control unit 161 for selectively emitting light. Further, the first light emitting unit 21 emits colored light in the order of emission shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 by any one of the plurality of light sources 151 by current control by the PWM control unit 161 according to the instruction from the control unit 5 in FIG. It is possible to emit light from. The second light emitting unit 22 is the colored light of the basic color in the order including the counterclockwise order R1 or the clockwise order R2 every 5 minutes (each second unit time _mb ) in 1 hour (second fixed cycle 1h). It has a plurality of light sources 152 for selectively emitting light, and a PWM control unit 162.
Further, the second light emitting unit 22 can emit colored light in the order of light emission shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 from any of the plurality of light sources 152 by current control by the PWM control unit 162 according to the instruction from the control unit 5. Is. The third light emitting unit 23 is the colored light of the basic color in the order including the counterclockwise order R1 or the clockwise order R2 every 5 seconds (each third unit time s _b ) in 1 minute (third fixed cycle 1 m). It has a plurality of light sources 153 and a PWM control unit 163 for selectively emitting light. The third light emitting unit 23 can emit colored light in the order of light emission shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 from any of the light sources 151 to 153 by current control by the PWM control unit 163 according to the instruction from the control unit 5. ..
However, a large number of light sources 151 to 153 are not always prepared, and may be shared among the units by time division by PWM control. However, in color light display utilizing reflected light and transmitted light, it is desired to use a monochromatic light source having a large spectrum half width (FWHM) as much as possible.

<Embodiment 6> Display of small unit time As shown in FIG. 20, the control unit 5 is divided into five equal parts of the unit time (1 _{mb) and the sum (s b )} as the small unit time (m) (s). Is the 5 small unit time minutes (m) and seconds (s) that elapse with the dawn (1 _{mb) sum (1 s b )} of the unit time as each fixed cycle, and the changing display mark and the attribute of colored light described later. Displayed by changing the value.
However, in the WLB clock, the display of these small unit times (m) and (s) is the display necessary for ensuring the display accuracy at the time of color light display (when the color light display method is selected) (omission of small unit time display). (There is also), so it shall be displayed according to the request.

Small unit time mark display:
Further, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15E, the color light type time measuring device 100 has a mark indicating unit 60 capable of displaying the time corresponding to each small unit time in the unit time by a mark for the small unit time. Further may be provided (see FIGS. 12 and 27). The mark indicating unit 60 can display different marks on the light emitting unit 7, and may be configured by, for example, a light source different from the light sources 150 to 153 (see FIGS. 24 and 25) of the light emitting unit 7.
The control unit 5 changes the mark to be displayed on the mark indicating unit 60 in five stages without changing the color light when a small unit time elapses in the unit time. Of course, the marks for each small unit time shown in FIGS. 15 (a) to 15 (e) are the colored light emitted by the light emitting unit 7 shown in FIGS. 2, 12, 24, 25, and 27 in addition to the change in shape. It is also possible to display the small unit time by changing the attribute value in five stages in each combined chromaticity category.

Specific example of mark display for small unit time:
The display unit 2 of FIG. 15 switches its properties in five stages in the light emitting unit 7, and displays a mark indicating the elapsed small unit time. Further, the mark is displayed on the indicator unit 60 throughout the elapse of the small unit time.
Since the methods of FIGS. 15 (a) to 15 (e) are instructions that require gaze of the light emitting unit 7, when intuition is required, the display of the small unit market value by colored light described later or its parallel display is performed. Desired.
FIG. 15A shows numbers that change into five types, 0 to 4, which represent five steps. In addition, other characters and ideographic marks such as playing card marks also fall into this category. In FIG. 15B, the number of small circles shown in the lower right is changed from 0 to 4. In FIG. 15C, the position of the small circle mark indicating the small unit time rotates in the light emitting portion in the order of top, right, bottom, and left from 0. In FIG. 15D, the number and position of the round marks in the light emitting portion are switched every small unit time and finally changed to form a rhombus.
In FIG. 15 (e), the number of vertices of the figure changes in 5 steps of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and represents the progress of 5 steps of the small unit time, but the zero is zero representing the reset. Yes, it is a mark that the small unit time is reset and started. Therefore, this mark may be a star shape having five vertices of the mark to be reset and terminated (abbreviated in FIG. 15).

Display by color light rhythm (regularity) of small unit time It is difficult to display time or unit time (time) only by the color difference of color light (c below) within the same chromaticity classification. Therefore, here, various high-color stimulating light sources a. And low color stimulus light source b. The method is adopted to create a step change "Table 5" that unifies the order of generation of strong and weak color stimulating light during each unit time, and to perceive the order of passage of small unit time by the sense of rhythm that occurs there. ..
Specifically, the strong / weak color stimulating light is classified into the following a, b, and c, and the strong color stimulating light is classified into high-intensity light (diamond 1, rhombus 2) and high-spectrum half-value light (FWHM) (diamond) other than the former. 3), the weak color stimulus light is low brightness light (circle 1, circle 2) and the low brightness low stimulus purity OLED light (circle 3), and the weak color stimulus light of 10 basic color light is in the circumferential direction (+). The low-intensity light with the chromaticity point shifted toward the low stimulus purity direction compared to the former (diamond 1 to rhombus 2) is used, and the start light in the chromaticity category is set as high stimulus purity as possible in the reset light (white group light) in the circumferential direction. To secure the color difference by shifting in the same direction (+) order as. Further, in Table 5, the strength and weakness of the luminance level is shown as a numerical model according to the duty value of PWM control. The light source of the rhombus 3 is high-color stimulating leather light, fluorescence, etc., whichever is used depending on the situation.

Here, the parentheses after the luminance indicate the luminance level, and CD1 <CD2 <CD3 <CD4 <CD5.

Small unit time display due to changes in intense and weak color stimulus light:
Further, as shown in Table 5, the control unit 5 combines the color light from a plurality of light sources for each type of color light (reset light, 10 basic color light) to obtain strong and weak colors of the color light mainly having the luminance. The order of generation of stimuli is unified, and the rhythmic feeling generated there complements the distinctiveness of colored light that displays a small unit time. However, since the sense of rhythm cannot be too early or too late, it can be applied only to minutes (m) or seconds (s).

"Backlight of different light sources":
To display the small unit time (1 minute, 1 second) that constitutes each unit time of 5 minutes and 5 seconds by the attribute value of colored light, a wide range of attribute values (brightness / Y value, stimulation purity, main wavelength value, spectrum) Half-value width, etc.) must be expressed as a change in the five-color light within the same chromaticity category. As a method for enhancing this change in the attribute value, there is a backlight of a different kind of illuminant (see FIG. 18).
This backlight includes an organic EL light source 93 of three primary colors and a plurality of LEDs (light emitting diodes) 92. Each LED 92 has a relatively narrow spectral full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the spectral radiation intensity distribution, and is suitable for emitting strongly stimulating light. For the plurality of LEDs 92, for example, LEDs having 5 unique colors or fluorescent white glitter can be used. The organic EL light source 93 has a broader spectral radiation intensity distribution than the LED, and is suitable for weak stimulation light. In the backlight of FIG. 18, the LED light source in the JIS chromaticity diagram shown in FIG. ₁ is the white (fluorescence) w and r, o, y, g (for color range expanding light source), g1, b, of glittering light. Arranged in p, the organic EL light sources of the three primary colors are R ₁ , G ₁ , B ₁ , and the green organic EL light source G is provided at the chromaticity position of g so that it can be switched to G ₁ and the color range of both light sources. It is being expanded. Therefore, the strong stimulus light can also be composed of two-color light composed of a color light obtained by partially mixing a glittering LED light with a dynamically controlled high-luminance organic EL light. As shown in Table 5, a total of five color light intensity stimulus patterns (for example, strong, weak, weak, strong, weak) are configured in each small unit time within a unit time, and these strong / weak stimulus patterns are used for each. When unified between unit times, a sense of rhythm according to the pattern is created, and the distinctiveness between the colored lights indicating each small unit time is strengthened. For colored light (weak) other than the strong stimulus light, the white group light and the 10 basic color lights are used to add color and whiteness (+ of the hue in Table 5) to enhance the distinctiveness.

<Embodiment 7>"Colored light analog clock"
The color light analog clock (see FIG. 14) and the mechanical color light analog clock (see FIG. 26), which are examples of the color light timekeeping device 100, incorporate this technique into a conventional traditional analog clock, and the color light clocks thereof. It will be equipped with the intuition of.

Optical path (mechanism) of colored light analog clock:
As shown in FIG. 14, a step motor 42 is provided on the base plate 41, and a gear 43 is attached to the drive shaft thereof. The driving force of the gear 43 is transmitted to the minute hand drive gear 45 via the reduction gear 44. The minute hand drive gear 45 is integrated with a hollow shaft 47 made of a transparent functional resin supported by a support shaft 46, and further, a minute hand 48 is integrated with the hollow shaft 47 to block light except for the light guide portion. It is covered with a material and a reflective material that guides colored light to the hour hand surface, and the rotation of the step motor 42 causes the minute hand 48 to rotate once in one hour around the support shaft 46. On the other hand, the minute hand drive gear 45 meshes with the reduction gear 49 on the opposite side of the reduction gear 44, and the rotation of the minute hand drive gear 45 and thus the minute hand 48 is reduced to 1/12 and transmitted to the minute hand drive gear 50. .. The short hand drive gear 50 is integrated with a hollow shaft 51 fitted to the outside of the hollow shaft 47 integrated with the long hand 48, and the short hand 52 is integrated at the end of the hollow shaft 51. The short hand drive gear 50, the hollow shaft 51, and the short hand 52 are integrated with a transparent functional resin, and have the same coating as the hollow shaft 47 and the long hand 48. A housing 53 that covers the gear group is fixed to the base plate 41, and a clock face 54 is fixed to the base plate 41 between the housing 53 and the short hand 52 and the long hand 48. Although not shown on the clock face 54, numbers 1 to 12 and points (indexes) are equiangular on the outer circumference of the rotation locus at the tip of the minute hand 48, as in a conventional general timepiece. They are arranged at intervals. This index can be a luminous body that replaces any hour hand.

Color light analog clock Each element of the optical path (example):
A lamp house 53A having a reflective surface inside the housing 53 is formed in a bulging manner. An LED (light emitting diode) 55, which is a light source, is provided inside each lamp house 53A so that the light from the LED (light emitting diode) 55 can be focused on the center side of the housing 53. Each LED 55 corresponding to the light sources 150 to 153 shown in "FIGS. 24 and 25" can emit colored light of each main wavelength or composite light of the three primary colors by dynamic control. At a position near the center of the housing 53, liquid crystal shutters 56A and 56B are provided so as to face the LED 55 in a two-stage ring shape.
A disk-shaped light-shielding plate 57 is provided between the gears 50 and 45 on the center side of the housing 53. The light-shielding plate 57 divides the color light region division including the short hand drive gear 50 and the color light region division including the long hand drive gear 45 into left and right in FIG. As a result, an optical path from the LED 55 to the long hand drive gear 45 via the liquid crystal shutter 56A and an optical path from the LED 56 to the short hand drive gear 50 via the liquid crystal shutter 56B are independently formed. Each of the liquid crystal shutters 56A and 56B releases the time-division color light to the long hand 48 or the short hand 52 while the LED 55 is emitting light, and opens each optical path to the LED 55 side. As a result, the colored light configured by the dynamic control from the LED 55 is selectively guided to the optical path of each hour hand 48, 52 on the side of the short hand drive gear 50 or the long hand drive gear 45.

<Embodiment 10>"WLB and the character of time" (physical time and human time)
The "WLB meter" included in the color-light type timekeeping device is configured by a touch panel system, and includes an input unit, a display unit, an integration unit for each display time, an integration value calculation unit, and a communication input / output unit.
In addition, it is the difference in the sense of flow of time caused by the length of the unit time constituting each unit system, that is, the accurate time that is finely chopped in the conventional display system, the gentle time in large increments of the color light display system, and the composite display. The time expressed by each unit system, which is divided into the free and slow-moving time of the system, is the time of the unit system that each person judges to be the most suitable for each living time, and the time is defined as each of the time. Select and display in your life time. In addition, each display time is integrated, and numerical values such as mutual comparison of the integrated values and comparison with a separately input reference value are displayed on the display unit.
In addition, among the groups that carry out telework, etc. and their members, the correspondence method between various living times in the group and the unit system that displays them is decided, and the selection status of the display time of each person is described above. A color-light type timekeeping device (WLB meter) that transmits and displays via the communication input / output unit and promotes cooperation and reliability among group members by allowing each person to know the selection status of the display method time.

Time type:
In time, the "physical time", which is accurately engraved with a certain frequency of electromagnetic waves emitted by cesium atoms as the basic unit (SI unit) of 1 second, and the "human time (sharp time)" that flows from the past to the future. Including) ”. People's places of life are often based on the above-mentioned human time and sharp time, but at present, such time is rarely considered.
As shown in Table 3, the place of our lives is the place of human time brought about by the slowly flowing color light unit system in which people naturally exist as "individual life forms", and the responsibility of people as "members of the group". It can be roughly divided into the physical time field brought about by the conventional unit system that is accurately engraved and the sharp time field brought about by the slow-moving composite unit system in which people act autonomously as "individual human beings". .. However, in the actual place of life, the above classification cannot be applied accurately, but the personality classification of the time that each individual or group divides according to their own will considerably reflects the actual situation of their lives. Can be. The following is an example of the division of each person's place of life.
Specific examples of "field division" and its application effect:
In the place of time when people live, there is a place of slowly flowing human time such as sleep, meal, childcare, long-term care, grouping, exercise, etc. that naturally lives as an "individual life form", and there is colored light. The unit system display method is suitable. In addition, there is a place for time that accurately flows, such as work, lessons, housework, telework, etc., which are responsible as "members of the group", and there is a display method of the conventional unit system, which is physical time. suitable. In addition, there is a place for free and creative activity as an "individual human being", such as art, hobbies, play, religion, change, etc. The method is suitable, and the setting of the accurate table time suitable for each of these places leads to a high-quality place of life.
In addition, there is a concept of WLB (work-life balance), but this is a story that puts a strain on public and private activities, and for that purpose, the selection switching of the display time in the book / WLB clock is greatly changed. It will be useful. In addition, time management for that purpose is also a story related to the validity of the ratio of the various times, and the problems that arise there often appear as matters related to the ratio of the accumulated values of the various times. For example, problems such as attachment to the net and games can be clarified by the accumulated value of the related time and a solution can be approached. If the type of display time selected by a person is notified to the other party via the communication function, the position of each person can be known through the selection status of each time. This contributes not only to the confirmation of working conditions but also to the formation of a compassionate group.
The display of each of these items in FIGS. 16 and 28 is displayed as the calculated integrated value of the selection time and its ratio 76. For example, the selection status C2 of each other's color light display at the time of net communication is selected. The selection time here is displayed on the incidental section 77 as an upward mark Δ, the selection and approval of the other party as a downward mark ▽, etc. via the contact section 109.

<Other embodiments: Approximate day cycle>
The above-mentioned color-light type timekeeping device has a fixed period whose main unit is a unit time in (hours) units. Also, a day consists of day and night, but this does not divide the day into two, and four light and dark time zones of night, morning, noon, and evening are more suitable. Therefore, if 24 unit hours (hours) are divided into four time zones and the level of each brightness (luminance) is determined, the light-dark cycle of one day is determined.
Then, assuming that the brightness of the unit time in this (hour) unit is the reference brightness and the brightness of the unit time in the time zone of the lower unit also conforms to this reference brightness, the chromatic timekeeping device is in addition to the change in chromaticity. The brightness will also match the natural color light. It should be noted that such a one-day cycle of time is called an circadian cycle in the biological clock in physiology, and is treated as a color light unit system in a broad sense in this paper.
As a configuration for this purpose, in the color light timekeeping device as described above, each unit consists of (hours) according to the living time such as sleep and work and the brightness of the natural environment such as morning and evening, daytime, and night. It is conceivable to determine a desirable level of color light brightness for each time zone and do as follows.
For example, in the control unit, the half day (dh) of AM and PM consisting of 12 unit times (hours) is carried up to 1 day (d) with 2 as the bottom (k), and various times of the unit system constituting 24 hours. The brightness of the colored light corresponding to the unit time of the unit time of each time the band elapses is defined as the reference brightness that the colored light of the unit time of another unit should comply with, and the unit time of the (hour) unit time (hour) The brightness of the colored light in the unit time of each unit during the lapse of time is controlled to be at a predetermined level to improve the sense of time.
The time zone is, for example, 24 hours each of 8 hours in the morning and evening (4:00 pm to 7:00 and 4:00 am to 7:00 am), noon (8:00 am to 4:00 pm), and night (8:00 pm to 4:00 am). It refers to each time (hour) of a division, or a time division in which the division is changed to 2 to 8 divisions.
