Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate discrimination of a timer time display mode by providing a means for displaying a character T in a day of the week digit of a time information. CONSTITUTION:When a signal of an oscillation circuit 1 is frequency-divided by a frequency-division circuit 2 and given to a clock count circuit 3, the circuit 3 counts time informations on a month, a data, a day of the week, an hour and a minute and supplies the counted informations to a display switching control circuit 4. Based on the input informations supplied, the circuit 4 switches an information to be outputted to a display element 5, and a timer time storage circuit 6 gives a timer time to the circuit 3 at the time of a timer operation, while the circuit 3 outputs a signal to a bell circuit 7 when the timer time is ended. With a lighting segment 11 of a timer time display mode mark utilized herein, a means for displaying a character T in a day of the week digit of the time information when a timer time information is to be displayed is provided. Thereby a timer time display mode 9 can be discriminated easily without increasing a display afresh.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to an electronic timer equipped with a timer. [Prior Art] Conventional electronic watches with evening and timer had a separate mark for the timer time display mode. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the above-mentioned conventional technology has a problem in that the number of displayed SEGs increases because a mark for the timer time display mode is provided separately. The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and its purpose is to make the timer time display mode easier to understand without adding a new display. [Means for Solving the Problems] An electronic timer with a timer according to the present invention includes: a) an electronic timer with a timer that includes a liquid crystal display device and switches and displays time information and timer time information on the display device; b) the timer; When displaying time information, the present invention is characterized by having display mode identification means for displaying the letter T in the day of the week digit of the time information. [Example] Hereinafter, this invention will be described in detail based on an example shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of an electronic circuit with a timer to which the present invention is applied. A signal from an oscillation circuit 1 is frequency-divided by a frequency divider circuit 2 and is applied to a clock counting circuit 3. This clock counting circuit 3 counts time information for the month, day, dawn, hour, and minute, and the output time information is supplied to the display switching control circuit 4. This display switching control circuit 4 switches the information output to the display unit 5 based on the supplied input information. The timer time storage circuit 6 gives the timer time to the clock counting circuit 3 when the timer is activated, and the clock counting circuit 3 outputs a signal to the bell ringing circuit 7 when the timer time ends. FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) are diagrams showing display examples of an electronic timer equipped with a timer to which the present invention is applied. 8 represents the time display mode, and 9 represents the timer time display mode. When the time information is supplied to the display switching control circuit 4, the display output from the display switching control circuit 4 to the display section 5 is the display in time display mode 8. Further, when the timer time information is supplied to the display switching control circuit 4, the display output from the display switching control circuit 4 to the display unit 5 is a display in the timer time display mode. At this time, the display switching control circuit 4 creates and displays a T display using the segment that displayed the day of the week in the time display mode 8, thereby making it a timer time display mode mark. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a display example of an electronic timer equipped with a timer to which the present invention is applied. 10 represents a figure 8 segment, and 11 represents a lighting segment of the timer time display mode mark.

【Effect of the invention】

The invention as described above has the effect of making the timer time display mode easier to understand without adding a new display.
