The stepping motor 75 rotates the first long small needle 55 via the gear train mechanism 65 and rotates the first short small needle 54 via the gear train mechanism 64 linked to the gear train mechanism 65. The stepping motor 77 rotates the second long small needle 57 via the gear train mechanism 67 and rotates the second short small needle 56 via the gear train mechanism 66 interlocked with the gear train mechanism 67. The stepping motor 78 rotates the function hand 58 via the train wheel mechanism 68, and the stepping motor 79 rotates the date wheel 59 via the train wheel mechanism 69. Among these, the stepping motors 71 to 73, 75, 77 constitute a pointer driving means, and the stepping motor 78 constitutes a function display driving means.

  The stepping motors 71 to 73, 75, and 77 to 79 are driven by drive pulses output from the motor drive circuit 39 and rotate stepwise by a predetermined angle (for example, 180 degrees). Each of the gear train mechanisms 61 to 69 has a configuration in which a plurality of gears mesh with each other and rotate at a predetermined gear ratio, and the last gear in each of the gear train mechanisms 61 to 63, 65, and 67 to 69 is a stepping motor 71. ..., 73, 75, 77 to 79 are rotated at predetermined angles in accordance with the step rotations of the hour hand 51, the minute hand 52, the second hand 53, the first long small hand 55, the second long small hand 57, the functional hand 58, and the date.

  The CPU 31 performs various arithmetic processes and controls the overall operation of the analog electronic timepiece 100. The ROM 32 stores a control program and setting data related to the operation of the analog electronic timepiece 100. The RAM 33 is a volatile memory that provides a working memory space to the CPU 31 and stores setting data that can be updated by temporary data or user input. This updatable setting data includes display settings relating to the function types of contents to be displayed in the three display areas. The setting data that can be updated by the user may be provided with a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory in addition to the RAM 33 so as to be readable and writable.

  The motor drive circuit 39 outputs drive pulses for driving the stepping motors 71 to 73, 75, and 77 to 79 at appropriate timings according to the control signal input from the CPU 31.

  The oscillation circuit 34 is a circuit that generates a predetermined frequency signal. Here, for example, a crystal oscillation circuit is used. The frequency dividing circuit 35 divides the signal input from the oscillation circuit 34 into signals of various frequencies used in the analog electronic timepiece 100 and outputs the signals to the CPU 31 and the time counting circuit 36. The time counting circuit 36 counts the signal input from the frequency dividing circuit 35 and counts the current time by adding it to the initial time.

As this power supply part 37, it is a combination of a solar cell and a secondary battery, for example, supplies the electric power generated using the solar panel not shown provided in the display panel 3, to each part, or a secondary battery To store electricity.

  The operation unit 38 includes a crown 381 and push button switches 382 and 383. The operation of the crown 381 and the push button switches 382 and 383 by the user is converted into an electrical signal and output to the CPU 31. The push button switches 382 and 383 are used, for example, for operations such as start, end and reset of time measurement related to the stopwatch function. Further, in the analog electronic timepiece 100 of this embodiment, the crown 381 can be pulled out in two stages. The pulling stage, the rotating operation, and the pressing operation of the push button switches 382 and 383 By the combination, for example, an operation of switching the display target city related to the world clock display is performed.

  Next, function display in the analog electronic timepiece 100 of the present embodiment will be described.

  In the analog electronic timepiece 100 of the present embodiment, the current time display, the world clock display, and the stopwatch display 3 set in advance in a home city at three locations of the center display area, the display area 4, and the display area 5. The display related to the function is performed simultaneously in parallel. In the display area 6, the day of the week is normally displayed. When the display contents of the center display, the display area 4, and the display area 5 are confirmed, or when the display contents (display position) are switched, the function hand is used. Reference numeral 58 designates a sign indicating each function in turn.

  The display area where the display related to the three functions of the current time display, the world clock display, and the stopwatch display is performed is switched according to a predetermined input operation to the operation unit 38 by the user.

  FIG. 3 is a chart showing display modes that can be switched in the analog electronic timepiece 100. FIG. 4 is a plan view of the analog electronic timepiece 100 showing examples of display states in each display mode.

  In the analog electronic timepiece 100, as shown in FIG. 3, switching is sequentially performed between display states of mode A, mode B, or mode C. In the normal state, as shown in FIG. 4A, the mode A, that is, the current time display is performed in the center display, the world clock display is performed in the display area 4, and the stopwatch display is performed in the display area 5. It is like that. Here, the current time 15:37:52 in Tokyo, which is set as the home city, is indicated in the center display, and the time is 1:37 in New York (the time difference from Tokyo is -14 hours) as the world clock. 50 seconds to 59 seconds) is indicated in the display area 4, and 0 minute 0 seconds indicating the reset state of the stopwatch is indicated in the display area 5.

  Next, when the display mode is switched once by a predetermined input operation to the operation unit 38, the display mode is changed to the mode B display state, and as shown in FIG. 4B, the world clock display is performed in the center display. The stopwatch display is performed in the display area 4, and the current time display is performed in the display area 5. When the display mode is switched again by a predetermined input operation to the operation unit 38, the display mode is changed to the mode C display state, as shown in FIG. 4C, the stopwatch display is performed in the center display, and the current time display. Is displayed in the display area 4 and the world time is displayed in the display area 5. Further, when a predetermined input operation to the operation unit 38 is performed once again and the display mode is switched, the mode A display state is restored.

  In this way, when the display contents in each display area are switched, especially when a certain time has passed since switching or when switching due to an erroneous operation is performed, which display area is displayed. It becomes difficult for the user to recognize whether Therefore, in the analog electronic timepiece 100 of the present embodiment, display indicating the function type of the display content of each display area can be performed by a predetermined input operation (predetermined condition) by the user to the operation unit 38.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a control procedure of the function display position confirmation process executed by the CPU 31.

This function display position confirmation processing is started by a predetermined input operation to the operation unit 38 by the user, for example, an operation of pulling out the crown 381 in one step.
When the function display position confirmation process is started, the CPU 31 first acquires information relating to the function type of the display content currently displayed in each display area (step S101).

  Next, the CPU 31 outputs a control signal to the motor drive circuit 39 to move the function hand 58 from the day of the week display position to the position of the sign “STW” (step S105). The CPU 31 outputs a control signal to the motor drive circuit 39 to cause the pointer in the display area where the display related to the stopwatch function is performed to perform a predetermined notification operation (step S106). Specifically, as a predetermined notification operation, the CPU 31 fast-forwards the operation target pointer several steps (for example, 5 steps) in the forward rotation direction (clockwise direction) from the current position, and then returns the pointer to the original position. After moving forward several steps in the reverse direction (counterclockwise direction), the original position is restored. At this time, for the center display, any one of the hour hand 51, the minute hand 52, and the second hand 53, which are independently rotated, may be moved to the fast hand movement, for example, the second hand 53.

  The CPU 31 outputs a control signal to the motor drive circuit 39 to move the function hand 58 to the position of the mark “TM” (step S107). The CPU 31 outputs a control signal to the motor drive circuit 39, moves the pointer in the display area displaying the current time in a forward direction in several steps from the current position, and then returns it to the original position. After moving forward several steps in the direction, the original position is restored (step S108).

  Further, the CPU 31 outputs a control signal to the motor drive circuit 39 to move the functional hand 58 to the position of the mark “WT” (step S109). The CPU 31 outputs a control signal to the motor drive circuit 39, moves the pointer of the display area displaying the world clock display in the forward direction in several steps from the current position, returns it to the original position, and further reverses the rotation. After moving forward several steps in the direction, the original position is restored (step S110).

  The CPU 31 outputs a control signal to the motor drive circuit 39 to move the function hand 58 to the initial day of the week display position (step S112). Then, the CPU 31 ends the function display position confirmation process.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a control procedure of the function display position changing process executed by the CPU 31.

  This function display position changing process is started when an operation input for setting and changing the function display position is performed on the operation unit 38 by the user. In this function display position change process, the processes of steps S102 to S104 are performed instead of the process of step S101 in the function display position confirmation process, and the process of step S111 is added. The other processing is the same as the function display position confirmation processing, and the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted.

  When the function display position changing process is started, the CPU 31 determines whether or not an operation related to the display position change from the operation unit 38, for example, a detection signal of the rotation operation of the crown 381 which is pulled out by one step is input. (Step S102). When it is determined that the input has been made (“YES” in step S102), the CPU 31 performs setting for changing the function display position (step S103). Then, the process of the CPU 31 returns to step S102.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation detection signal related to the display position change is not input from the operation unit 38 (“NO” in step S102), the CPU 31 does not detect the operation related to the display position change. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed or an operation detection signal related to the end of the display position changing process is input from the operation unit 38 (step S104). If it is determined that none of them is applicable (“NO” in step S104), the process of the CPU 31 returns to step S102.

  If it is determined in step S104 that any of the conditions is satisfied ("YES" in step S104), the CPU 31 sequentially executes steps S105 to S110. Then, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the corresponding condition is detection of an end operation, for example, an operation of pulling out the crown 381 and pulling out the crown 381 (step S111). If it is determined that the end operation is not detected (“NO” in step S111), the process of the CPU 31 returns to step S102.

  If it is determined that the end operation has been detected (“YES” in step S111), the CPU 31 executes the process of step S112, and then ends the function display position change process.

  As described above, the analog electronic timepiece 100 of the present embodiment has the display areas 4 and 5 in addition to the center display area on the display panel 3, and the pointers are provided for each display area. Rotation is independently performed by stepping motors 71 to 73, 75, and 77 that are different for each display area. In addition, a display area 6 is provided in the 9 o'clock direction of the display panel 3, and the day of the week display operation and the display operation for indicating the display type of the contents displayed in each display area are selectively performed by the function hand 58. It is feasible. In the analog electronic timepiece 100, the center display area, the display areas 4 and 5 can be made to display each of the current time display function, the world clock function, and the stopwatch function, respectively, and the display positions can be switched. I can do it. The setting relating to the display position is stored in the RAM 33, and the display position is changed by changing the setting. The display operation indicating the correspondence between these display areas and the function types related to the display contents in the display areas is performed as follows under predetermined conditions. In other words, while indicating the function type with the function hand 58 in order, a notification operation is performed on at least one of the pointers corresponding to the display area displaying the function type indicated. To do. As described above, even when display related to different functions is performed in parallel in a plurality of display areas, and the function types of contents to be displayed in each display area can be appropriately selected and replaced. The function type of the display contents in these display areas can be easily displayed without adding a pointer or a stepping motor. Therefore, it is possible to easily indicate to the user which display area is displayed according to which function type.

  In particular, the function type of the content displayed in each display area can be changed as appropriate based on the input operation to the operation unit 38, so that necessary display related to a plurality of functions can be performed simultaneously in parallel. At this time, it is possible to easily confirm in which display area the user is performing display related to which function type.

  In addition, it is easy to determine in which display area the plurality of information is performed while ensuring the convenience that the most important information is displayed in the center display by switching the display position while displaying a plurality of information. Can be confirmed. In particular, by displaying the stopwatch on the center display provided with the second hand 53, for example, it is possible to display in units of 1/20 second with the second hand 53. It has the convenience of switching the display area according to the required information accuracy, and can easily indicate which function type is displayed in which display area.

  Further, when the function type of the display content in each display area is changed, a confirmation display is made for the change content, so that the user can easily check whether or not the display position has been correctly changed.

  Even if the user does not remember what changes have been made, such as when a long time has passed since the change, the display contents of each display area can be easily input by inputting a confirmation operation command to the operation unit 38. Since the function type can be easily confirmed, the user need not bother to confirm once by changing the display area.

  Further, by providing the same scale in the display areas 4 and 5, it is possible to perform display related to a desired function in any display area.

  Further, the display area 6 is provided with a function hand 58, and a sign indicating each function type is indicated by the function hand 58 as necessary. Therefore, the display area 6 has a simple structure and is quickly displayed on each display area. It is possible to display the function type of the specified content.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made.
For example, in the above embodiment, three pointers are provided in the center display area and two pointers are provided in the display areas 4 and 5, respectively, but the number of pointers is not limited thereto. As long as the display contents related to each function type can be displayed even if they are exchanged between the display areas, the number of the guidelines can be changed as appropriate.

  In the above embodiment, the three pointers in the center display area are independently driven, and the two pointers in the display areas 4 and 5 are driven in conjunction with each other. Not limited to. As long as the hands of different display areas can be driven independently, the number of stepping motors and wheel train mechanisms that can be arranged inside the casing 2 of the analog electronic timepiece 100 and the size of the analog electronic timepiece 100 are changed as appropriate.
