 2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, when a certain time (for example, 0 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, etc.) is reached, a device that informs the time signal with a constant melody (time signal melody) is used for wall clocks, table clocks, etc. ing. In particular, table clocks are often used that emit a time signal melody in terms of fashionability and interior decoration. These wall clocks, table clocks, etc. are sometimes placed at storefronts, entrances, etc. when they become fashionable. At business partners that display and sell expensive products in windows, expensive surveillance cameras are installed in order to prevent theft, and buzzers, etc. are installed with sensors that notify customers when people enter the store. It is common to ring to notify. Moreover, even in general dwellings, it is rare to leave the front door open, especially during the midsummer daytime, and it may not be clear even if there are visitors. For this reason, there is an increasing need for sensors that notify visitors even in ordinary residences.

Furthermore, if a signal for outputting an alarm melody or a signal for outputting a time signal melody is input while the signal for outputting a time signal melody or the signal for outputting an alarm melody is being output from the melody circuit 9, it will always be output later. The input signal is prioritized, the melody currently being sounded ends midway, and the melody (alarm melody or time signal melody) of the currently input signal is sounded.

3 to 5 show another embodiment of the alarm timepiece according to the invention.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 20 denotes a transmitter, and three transmitters are provided in this embodiment. The three transmitters 20 have the same circuit configuration. That is, reference numeral 21 is an optical sensor, which is a detector that reacts when a human or the like passes and detects the human or the like. Reference numeral 22 is a pulse generation circuit, and 23 is a pulse control unit. The pulse control unit 23 is provided with switches S1 to S4, and the pulse signal can be arbitrarily set by turning the switches S1 to S4 ON and OFF.
