Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a timepiece, and more particularly, to a timepiece dial having a function of displaying information other than time, such as life rhythm, and a timepiece having the same.

BACKGROUND ART In various tradition medicines, it is known that a human has a life rhythm according to time. As an example, according to the Indian tradition medicine “Ayurveda”, if the sunrise time is 6:00 am and the sunset time is 6:00 pm, the human rhythm of life is as follows.

First, 6:00 am to 10:00 pm and 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm are time zones suitable for thinking, and represent the quality of the body's stability and calmness and are called Kapha (K). It is preferable to exercise lightly in order to exercise during this time, and it is also preferable to exercise lightly in daily work. It is not appropriate to eat and drink during this time. Kapha (K) is symbolized by "green".

In addition, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm and from 10:00 pm to 2:00 am the next day are digestion and conversion time zones, which are referred to as pitta (P), which indicates the quality of activity. That is, in the daytime, it is a time zone suitable for eating, and digestive and metabolic activities are suitable. At night, what is digested and absorbed is converted into the body, especially the peripheral body. Pitta (P) is symbolized by "red".

Also, 2:00 am to 6:00 pm and 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm are time zones for behavior and exercise, and are called vata (V) because they represent the quality of freshness and lightness. That is, in the daytime Vata (V), it is preferable to move the body including relatively strong exercise. In addition, early morning Vata (V)
In, there are phenomena such as a better awakening caused by the quality of freshness and lightness. Sleep states include REM sleep and non-REM sleep. REM sleep is a sleep state that involves movement of the body such as eye movements, but it has been clinically shown that REM sleep is prolonged from 2:00 to 6:00 Vata. Vata (V), Pitta (P), Kapha (K), the quality of everyday body
It indicates the quality of the behavior and the quality of the season. Sleep is taken from 10pm to 6am, Pitta (P), Vata (V)
During the time of day, the body's balance, Dosha's collapse, is returned.
For example, the phenomenon of turning over is considered to be one of the manifestations.

The above timetable is called "Ayurveda time". The above-described example is for a case where the sunrise time is 6:00 am and the sunset time is 6:00 pm. In general, from the sunrise time to the sunset time, and from the sunset time to the sunrise time. The time zone up to is divided into three equal parts, and the capa (K), pitta (P) and vata (V) are determined. The “time” mentioned here does not indicate the standard time, but is the time when the time at which the sun is located just south of the area where the target human lives is noon. Therefore, it can be seen that the Ayurvedic time varies depending on the region, season and day / night.

In addition to Ayurveda, various reports have been made on human living rhythms. For example,
At present, sudden death has become a hot topic, but the probability of sudden death also fluctuates periodically with one cycle per day, and there are times when the probability of death is high and times when it is low. It has been reported.

If anyone can easily find information on Ayurvedic time and other human rhythms, it would be helpful for each person to take actions in line with their rhythms. However, heretofore, there has been no simple means suitable for such significance.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION First Embodiment Next, a wristwatch according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a dial of a wristwatch, and an annular color LCD display 2 is provided at the center thereof. Under the control of the LCD control circuit 3, the LCD display 2 can appropriately emit red, green, or blue light, and can be color-coded using the radius direction as a boundary. In addition, a needle shaft is inserted into the through hole 2a of the LCD display 2, and thereby a needle (not shown) provided above the dial 1 is driven.

Next, 6 is a storage device, latitude information indicating latitude,
Longitude information indicating longitude and standard time deviation are stored. Here, the standard time deviation is information indicating a difference between noon of the standard time and a time when the sun is actually located at a southern point. A date mechanism 4 outputs date information.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an arithmetic circuit, which includes the above-described date information, latitude information,
When the longitude information and the standard time deviation are supplied, the sunrise time and the sunset time are calculated based on the information, and the time zone from the sunrise time to the sunset time (hereinafter, referred to as daytime) and the sunset time are calculated. The time period up to the sunrise time (hereinafter referred to as night) is divided into three equal parts to calculate Kapa (K), Pitta (P) and Vata (V). Then, the arithmetic circuit 5 supplies a control signal to the LCD control circuit 3 according to the current time so that a display like the one on the LCD display 2 is made.

That is, the current time is the first predetermined time (for example, 0 am
If it is within the range from the hour) to the second predetermined time (for example, noon), the positions corresponding to daylight Ka (K), Pitta (P) and Vata (V) become green, red and blue, respectively. The control signal is supplied from the arithmetic circuit 5 to the LCD control circuit 3. On the other hand, if the current time is within the range from the second predetermined time to the first predetermined time, the nighttime cap (K),
Control signals such that the positions corresponding to the pitta (P) and the vata (V) become green, red and blue, respectively,
It is supplied from the arithmetic circuit 5 to the LCD control circuit 3.

Next, reference numeral 7 denotes an input device. When the latitude information, the longitude information and the standard time deviation are input, the contents are written into the storage device 6. Further, when the first and second predetermined times are input from the input device 7, the contents are supplied to the arithmetic circuit 5. Reference numeral 8 denotes an area-specific data memory, which stores various area names, latitude information, longitude information, and standard time deviation in these areas in association with each other. Here, the region names stored in the region-specific data memory 8 are, for example, names of prefectures in Japan, names of major cities in Japan and foreign countries, and the like.

The input device 7 can specify a region name stored in the region-specific data memory 8. When a region name is specified, the latitude information, the longitude information, and the standard time deviation corresponding to the region name are displayed in the region. The data is transferred from the separate data memory 8 to the storage device 6.

In the above configuration, when the latitude information or the like is directly input from the input device 7, the input data is stored in the storage device 6. Alternatively, when a region name is designated by the input device 7, latitude information and the like corresponding to the region name are transferred from the regional data memory 8 to the storage device 6. Further, in the standard setting state, the first predetermined time is noon and the second predetermined time is midnight, but when the user appropriately changes them, the contents are stored in the arithmetic circuit 5.

Then, when the latitude information and the like stored in the storage device 6 and the date information output from the date mechanism 4 are supplied to the arithmetic circuit 5, the display surface of the LCD display 2 is divided and displayed in three colors. Therefore, the user can easily know the Ayurvedic time by visually determining which of the three color-coded areas has the hour hand (not shown) of the clock.

In a clock used only in a certain area, the latitude information and the longitude information in the storage device 6 may be fixed to predetermined values.

Second Embodiment Next, a wristwatch according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a coaxial needle shaft through which a fixed plate 12, movable plates 13, 14, 15, a transparent plate 16, a short hand 17, a long hand 18, and a second hand 19 are sequentially inserted. Here, the fixed plate 12 and the transparent plate 16 are fixed to a wristwatch main body (not shown), and the movable plates 13, 14, 15,
The short hand 17, the long hand 18 and the second hand 19 are driven by rotation of each part of the hand shaft 11.

Further, the wristwatch of this embodiment is provided with each of the constituent elements 4 to 8 shown in FIG.
Instead of the control circuit 3, a movable plate drive mechanism 20 that drives the movable plates 13, 14, 15 via the needle shaft 11 is provided.

The fixed plate 12 is formed by dividing a circular plate into three equal parts in the circumferential direction and separately painting red, blue, and green, and the movable plates 13, 14, and 15 are arranged on the divided boundaries. Movable plate
Reference numerals 13, 14, and 15 are thin plates formed in a substantially fan shape, each of which is painted in red and blue, blue and green, and green and red with each center line as a boundary.

The movable plates 13, 14, and 15 are positioned by the arithmetic circuit 5 and the movable plate drive mechanism 20 such that the center lines of the movable plates are located at the boundary times of the vata (V), the capa (K), and the pitta (P). Is controlled as follows.

In the above configuration, when the fixed plate 12 and the like are viewed through the transparent plate 16, the movement of the movable plates 13, 14, and 15 moves the color-coded boundary position. Therefore, similarly to the first embodiment, the Ayurvedic time can be easily known according to the position of the short hand 17.

(Modifications) The first and second embodiments described above can be variously modified as follows, for example.

The LCD display 2 in the embodiment does not necessarily need to be color-coded into three colors, and may be one that displays one color (red, blue or green) symbolizing the Ayurvedic time corresponding to the current time on the entire surface.

In this case, the LCD display 2 may be provided at any position other than the center of the dial 1.

In the embodiment, the entire dial 1 may be constituted by an LCD display.

When the present invention is used for a digital timepiece, a double liquid crystal may be used. That is, when the time and the like are displayed in black in the first layer of the double liquid crystal and the color symbolizing the Ayurvedic time is displayed in the second layer, the Ayurvedic time can be displayed as the background color of the character.

<Third Embodiment> In the first and second embodiments, the display of the Ayurvedic time has been described as an example. However, the displayed life rhythm is not limited to the Ayurvedic time. An embodiment of the present invention for displaying a time other than the Ayurvedic time will be described below.

Recently, sudden death has become a topic, but the probability of occurrence of sudden death also fluctuates periodically with one cycle as one day, and it is known that there are time zones where the probability of death occurrence is high and low. I have. FIG. 3 illustrates the daily fluctuation of the number of sudden deaths. FIG. 4 illustrates the daily fluctuation of the number of occurrences of acute myocardial infarction. In addition, these data, the literature Muller JE, et al: Circulation. 79: 733-734,19
It is published in 89.

In addition, the inventors of the present application have confirmed the fact that the circulatory dynamic parameters representing the state of the circulatory system also periodically fluctuate every day as a result of the research activities accumulated so far. Hereinafter, the circadian fluctuation of the circulatory system confirmed by the present inventors will be described.

First, the present inventors assume that the circulatory dynamic parameters constitute the four-element lumped parameter model shown in FIG.
It was determined how each element of the four-element lumped parameter model changes over time. This four-element lumped parameter model is based on the circulatory parameters that determine the behavior of the circulatory system of the human body, including the inertia of blood in the central part of the arterial system, the vascular resistance (viscous resistance) due to blood viscosity in the central part, and the vascular resistance in the central part. Focusing on four parameters of blood vessel compliance (viscoelasticity) and peripheral blood vessel resistance (viscous resistance), these are modeled as an electric circuit. The correspondence between each element constituting the four-element lumped parameter model and each of the above parameters is as follows.

Inductance L: inertia of blood in the central part of the arterial system (dy
n · s ³ / cm ⁵ ] Capacitance C: compliance (viscoelasticity) of blood vessels in the central part of the arterial system [cm ⁵ / dyn] Note that compliance is an amount representing the softness of blood vessels, That is.

Electric resistance R _c : vascular resistance due to blood viscosity at the central part of the arterial system [dyns / cm ⁵ ] Electric resistance R _p : vascular resistance due to blood viscosity at the peripheral part of the arterial system [dyns / cm ⁵ ] The current i, i _P , i flowing through each part in this electric circuit
_c corresponds to the blood flow [cm ³ / s] flowing through each corresponding part. The input voltage e applied to this electric circuit corresponds to the pressure [dyn / cm ² ] at the aortic root. The terminal voltage v _P of the capacitance C is the pressure [dyn / c
m ² ].

In general, the pressure waveform at the aortic root is as shown in FIG. 6, but this pressure waveform is approximated by a triangular wave shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, E _o is the diastolic blood pressure (diastolic blood pressure), E _o + E _m is the systolic blood pressure (systolic blood pressure),
t _P is the time of one beat, t _P1 is the time from the rise of the aortic pressure until the pressure becomes the minimum blood pressure value.

Then, the present inventors measured radial artery waves and stroke volume every two hours from 13 male subjects with normotensive blood pressure, and determined circulatory dynamic parameters corresponding to each radial artery waveform, that is, FIG. When the triangular wave shown in FIG. 4 is given to the four-element lumped parameter model, the same waveform as the radial artery wave
The values of the elements L, C, R _c , and R _p of the four-element lumped parameter model as conditions for obtaining the values at both ends of were obtained. Each element L four-element lumped model from the radial artery waveform, and stroke volume, C, R _c, a technique of determining the value of R _p mathematically is JP that has already been filed by the present applicant No. 5-1431.

Figure 8-Figure 11, the value L of the elements obtained in this manner, C, R _c, and shows the diurnal variation of R _p, in the figures 1
The average value of L, C, R _c , and R _p values and the range of variation (standard deviation) are shown for three subjects. In each figure, broken lines represent basic waveforms obtained by performing rhythm analysis of changes in L, C, R _c , and R _p values. From these figures, it can be seen that the circulatory dynamic parameters of the human body also fluctuate according to a periodic waveform with one position as one period.

The diurnal variation in the number of sudden deaths and diurnal variations in body circulatory parameters as described above, along with the Ayurvedic time described above, are living rhythms that are worthy of reference when each person lives. . This is because if it is possible to know a time zone in which sudden death is likely to occur and a time body in which the circulatory dynamic parameters are likely to be unfavorable values, it is possible to try not to overdo it in such a time zone.

In the present embodiment, the above-described daily variation in the number of occurrences of sudden death is also regarded as one life rhythm, and this life rhythm is displayed on a timepiece dial.

For example, the following method can be considered to display the number of sudden deaths on a clock face.

(1) The number of sudden deaths in each time zone in FIG. 8 is classified into, for example, three levels of large, medium, and small. And the first
In the embodiment (FIG. 1), risk information indicating whether the number of sudden deaths is large, medium, or small in each time zone is stored in the storage device 6 in advance.

(2) When the current time is a time between midnight and noon, the arithmetic circuit 5 outputs the risk information corresponding to each time zone in the first half of the previous day, while the current time is from noon to morning. If the time is before midnight, the risk information corresponding to each time zone in the latter half of this day is read out from the storage device 6, and the display color for each time zone is determined based on these.
For example, the display color in a time zone where the number of sudden deaths is small is blue, the time zone where the number of sudden deaths is medium is green, and the time zone where the number of sudden deaths is large is red and so on.

(3) Then, the arithmetic circuit 5 sends a control signal to the LCD control circuit 3 so that the area corresponding to each time zone of the LCD display 2 is displayed with the display color determined as described above. As a result of such control, the time zone where the number of sudden deaths is small, the time zone where the number of sudden deaths is occurring, and the time zone where the number of sudden deaths is large are displayed in different colors on the LCD display unit 2 of the timepiece dial 1.

<Fourth Embodiment> There is known a world clock, that is, a clock that displays the time in a main area of the world when the name is specified. The present embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to a world clock in which a hand position is changed to a position corresponding to a region, instead of a type in which a region is changed by a bezel ring.

Since the basic configuration is the same as that shown in the first embodiment, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

In the present embodiment, when the user designates an area in the clock display, the pointer position is changed to a position corresponding to the designated area. Then, the latitude information, the longitude information and the standard time deviation corresponding to the area designation are read from the area-specific data memory 8 and stored in the storage device 6.

Then, the latitude information, the longitude information, and the standard time deviation in the storage device 6 are referred to by the arithmetic circuit 5, and the first
The display of the Ayurvedic time as in the embodiment is performed.

<Fifth Embodiment> By the way, if a long-distance travel is carried out by an aircraft or the like, for example, it takes 4 hours or more from the country A to travel to the country B,
The situation where the person who moved is already in Ayurveda time is already kappa, but the time in Ayurveda in country B is still Vata, or the person who moved from country A to country C in a short time and moved, Time may still be in Vada, but Ayurveda time in Country B is already kappa.

These are known as phenomena in which the life rhythm does not follow changes in the time zone, ie, jet lag.

The world timepiece disclosed in the fourth embodiment is also easy to use if consideration is given to this jet lag. In other words, it is considered that it takes time for the user of the world clock to follow the Ayurvedic time at the destination, and in this embodiment, the display control of the Ayurvedic time is performed in consideration of the following. Specifically, it is as follows.

First, in addition to the areas for storing the latitude information, the longitude information, and the standard time deviation described in the first embodiment, the latitude information, the longitude information, and the standard time deviation are also stored in each area.
An evacuation area for storing individual items is prepared in the storage device 6. When the area is designated, prior to storing the latitude information, longitude information, and standard time deviation corresponding to the new area in the storage device 6, the previously stored latitude information, longitude information, and standard time are stored. The deviation is saved in the save area.

The arithmetic circuit 5 obtains a latitude line (hereinafter, a first boundary line) for color-coded display of Ayurvedic time corresponding to the latitude information, the longitude information, and the standard time deviation in the evacuation area, and obtains new latitude information. , A boundary line for color-coded display of Ayurvedic time corresponding to the longitude information and the standard time difference (hereinafter referred to as a second boundary line), and first, a color-coded display of Ayurvedic time according to the first boundary line. A control signal is sent to the LCD control circuit 3 so as to be performed.

Thereafter, the first boundary line is rotated by a predetermined angle at predetermined time intervals, and the boundary line of the color-coded display of the Ayurvedic time is sequentially approached to the second boundary line.

In this way, the Ayurvedic time is displayed in different colors in consideration of the transition time until the life rhythm of the moved person is synchronized with the Ayurvedic time at the destination.

By the way, there is a case where a region is designated merely for the purpose of knowing the current time in another region, and in such a case, if the color-coded boundary line moves, it becomes extremely inconvenient. Therefore, in the present embodiment, if the current area specification is changed to another area specification and then returned to the current area specification within a predetermined time, the above-described “first boundary at a predetermined angle every predetermined time” is used. The process of rotating the line so that the boundary line of the color-coded display of the Ayurvedic time sequentially approaches the second boundary line is not performed.
