Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a timekeeping system for a timepiece.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, timepieces have been timed as accurately as possible and have been used as a guideline for the actions of all people. For this reason, many studies have been conducted on means for adjusting the reference signal more accurately, and wristwatches with high accuracy have come on the market. On the other hand, one idea for a timepiece is Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
The one described in the title of the invention, "Electronic timepiece with slow-speed function" in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-93083 has also been proposed. This is so that the user can advance or delay the display time for a fixed time with respect to the accurate time only in a predetermined time zone. As a result, when you are busy
To advance by 10 minutes or so that I can act quickly,
It is designed to improve work efficiency.

[0003]

However, it is an idea to display the predetermined time zone at a slow speed as in the case described above, but a sudden change in the time display may occur, which may confuse the user. .. By the way, originally, the time interval of one hour has to be constant and accurate. However, as the world becomes more diversified and the rhythm of life of each individual becomes more complicated, the more accurate the timepiece, the more time it takes to catch the time, and the wristwatch becomes an absolute leader. It will give a feeling of pressure to the user.

An object of the present invention is to set a desired time interval according to the life rhythm of the user, and to return to the correct time at the starting time, thereby alienating the relationship with other people. Instead, it provides an electronic timepiece that emphasizes humanity rather than time-consuming living.

[0006]

[Advantage] According to the above configuration, if the activity time in the daytime is shorter than that in the other person, and if it is desired to act leisurely at night, the adjustment reference time should be shortened by about 1 minute per hour starting from 8:00 am. If the adjustment amount is set to +12 minutes at 8 am, it will be 1 hour per hour from 8 am to 8 pm
The time progresses in short minutes, and by 8:00 pm, it will advance by +12 minutes (that is, one hour will be spent in 59 minutes),
After that, one hour became one minute longer, and the next day at 8:00 am, the exact 8:00 am was pointed to.

The relationship between the above six pointers and the drive motor will be described. Although not shown, the electronic timepiece of the present embodiment has four drive motors and is displayed by A to D. First, the minute hand 4a is driven by the drive motor A, and for one pulse of the drive motor A, the minute hand 4a rotates 6 degrees. Further, the hour hand 4b is connected to the minute hand 4a in a train wheel. Similarly to the drive motor A, the drive motor B rotates the FL minute hand 6a by 6 degrees with the output of one pulse, and further, the FL hour hand 6b connected to the FL minute hand 6a in a train wheel.
Rotates 0.1 degree. The drive motor C drives the FL second hand 5, and rotates with respect to the output of 1 pulse by the display amount of 1 second, that is, 6 degrees. Finally, the drive motor D is a motor for driving the FL monitor needle 7, and is rotated left and right according to the FL amount to indicate the amount. 6 with the above four drive motors
It is a drive system that displays the pointers of books. The relationship between these drive motors and the entire circuit will be described with reference to FIG.

Therefore, in the normal state of the electronic timepiece according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1A, the correct hour is displayed as 4:55 using the hour hand 4b and the minute hand 4a, and adjustment is made. The set FL time is displayed as 5: 4: 55 by the FL hour hand 6b, the FL minute hand 6a, and the FL second hand 5. Further, it indicates that the FL amount at that time is +9 minutes by the FL monitor needle 7.

When the pull switch 1 is pulled one step from this state, the current time is set as shown in FIG. 1 (B). In the time setting state shown in FIG. 1B, the FL hour hand 6b and the FL minute hand 6a indicating the FL time come to indicate the hour / minute digit having the same value as the regular time, and indicate the second digit of the FL time. The FL second hand 5 that has been displayed displays the hour digit of the 24-hour system such as the hour digit and the FL hour digit. That is, in this case, since the correct time is 4:00 pm, the FL second hand 5 is set to the 24-hour scale 9b as shown in the figure.
Will indicate the 16 o'clock position. Further, in this time setting state, the FL monitor needle 7 is set to the F currently set.
The amount of L is shown. "+9 minutes" because it is set to +9 minutes now
Indicates the position. In this state, each time the push button 3 is pressed, the minute hand 4a and the FL minute hand 6a step forward simultaneously in the forward rotation direction, and the hour hand 4b connected to the rotation of the minute hand 4a also moves to the minute hand 4a. It rotates by the frequency division ratio in conjunction with the rotation. Similarly, the FL hour hand 6b also rotates by the frequency division ratio in conjunction with the rotation of the FL minute hand 6a. At this time, the second digit of the correct time is zero, and is 0 when returning to the normal carrying state.
It is set to start timing from 0 seconds. In this way, the current time is set correctly. Now, it is assumed that the correct time is set to 2:15 pm.

Further, if the pull switch 1 is pulled one step further from the state shown in FIG. 1B, the FL amount setting state as shown in FIG. 1C is obtained. In the FL amount setting state shown in FIG. 1C, the FL hour hand 6b and the FL minute hand 6 indicating the FL time are displayed.
“A” remains indicating the same time as the hour hand 4b and the minute hand 4a indicating the correct time, that is, 2:15 pm, which is the correct time. Then, the FL second hand 5 sets the set correct time to 14:00 as a 24-hour value. Further, the FL monitor needle 7 indicates the FL amount to be set. In this state,
When the push button 2 is pressed, the FL second hand 5 is moved by 15 degrees (15 pulses are output for each push). That is, the FL reference time is increased every hour. Also, each time the push button 3 is pressed, the FL monitor needle 7 rotates so as to increase the FL amount by 1 minute. That is, FL
Steps from the amount "0" to +1, +2, ... And when it reaches +20, it rotates to -20, -19, .... Now
As shown in FIG. 1 (C), the FL amount is "+12"
It is assumed that the reference time is set to “8:00 am”.

When the pull switch 1 is returned to its original position at 2:15 pm from the FL amount setting state, the normal time display state is set. When this normal time state is reached, it is calculated from which state the FL time starts counting in accordance with the set FL amount with respect to the set correct time. Now, the correct time is "14:15" and the FL amount is set to "+12 minutes based on 8:00 am". That is, the user has set that the time will be +12 minutes at 8:00, which is 12 hours after 8:00. Therefore, if a simple proportional calculation is performed, it is necessary to start timing from the state of the FL time being "+6 minutes 15 seconds" at this correct time of 14:15. Therefore, when the normal time becomes the normal time state, the FL second hand 5 for displaying the FL time is +1.
The hand is fast-forwarded for up to 5 seconds, the FL minute hand 6a is also fast-forwarded for +6 minutes, and is normally moved in synchronization with the correct time. Of course, the time delay from the return to the normal state until the FL time is adjusted by the FL amount is further adjusted automatically.

Next, the system configuration of the electronic timepiece will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 2, S1 to S4

Similarly, 14 receives the ON signal of the FL reference time switch S4 only when the FL adjustment state setting circuit 12 is outputting the FL adjustment state signal FWS, and receives the reference time each time the ON signal of the FL reference time switch S4 is input. It is an FL reference time setting signal generation circuit that outputs a setting signal KST.

Reference numeral 15 is a reference signal generating circuit which constantly outputs a time reference signal (for example, 2 Hz) K1 which serves as a reference for time counting and a control signal K2 which serves as a reference for control operation of a control circuit 50 described later. 16 is the above-mentioned clock reference signal K

Straight-line counter circuit 18
Is information representing the display instruction position of the minute hand 4a and the hour hand 4b described above. The positive second counter circuit 19 counts the reference signal K1 and increments +1 for every even number because the reference signal K1 is 2 Hz. When the positive second counter circuit 19 reaches "60", the positive minute counter circuit 18 is incremented by +1.
Step forward. The minute counter circuit 18 returns to zero when it counts 24 hours a day, that is, 1440.

Reference numeral 20 denotes an FL time amount setting circuit, which is set by the setting signal ST which is an instruction signal from the control circuit 50.
The code value FT and the FL time amount value JT are set. 21 is

It is a reference time setting circuit. Reference numeral 22 is an adjustment interval setting circuit for setting an interval for time adjustment according to the FL time amount value JT. As shown in Table 1, the adjustment interval setting circuit 22 stores the adjustment interval value KN for the FL time amount value as an array function. In Table 1 set here, all adjustment interval values KN are set to even numbers in order to simplify the story. Therefore, in order to adjust to "+12 minutes", the adjustment interval value K
N is “120”. The adjustment interval value KN of "120" is a value that indicates that the reference signal K1 of 2 Hz described above is counted and added for 1 second every 120 counts. Adjustment interval value K set by the adjustment interval setting circuit 22
N is a value for increasing or decreasing by 1 second each time the reference signal count value CT that is the output of the reference signal counter 16 described above matches. Reference numeral 23 is an adjustment direction instruction circuit for determining the direction for adjusting the FL time. Adjustment direction instruction circuit 23
Is adjusted with a code of +/- for 12 hours from the reference time based on the information of the FL reference time KH and information of the FL code value FT, and with a code of-/ + from the time 12 hours later. The code instruction value KF switched so as to be adjusted is output.

Reference numeral 24 is an FL second hand movement counter which counts the amount of movement of the FL second hand 5 of the FL time system being adjusted. Further, 25 is an FL second counter that counts how many seconds the FL time system is adjusted. Therefore, FL

Is a control circuit for controlling each of the above-mentioned constituent circuits according to a predetermined flow.

Next, the time adjustment operation and the FL amount setting operation described in FIG. 1 will be explained. When the pull switch 1 is pulled one step, the time adjustment state switch S1 is turned on, and the time adjustment state setting circuit 11 operates. The time adjustment state signal JWS is output to the control circuit 50. The control circuit 50 which receives the time adjustment state signal JWS resets the forward second counter 19, the FL second hand movement counter 24, and the FL second counter 25. Further, it outputs to the drive motor C a signal for moving the FL second hand movement circuit 26 to the 24-hour display position of the hour digit of the correct time system. The FL minute hand movement circuit 27 is also output to the drive motor B so as to perform the hand movement to the display position that coincides with the correct time system without the FL adjustment amount. Every time the push button 3 is pressed in this state, the FL reference time switch S4 is turned on and the FL reference time setting signal generation circuit 14 outputs the time adjustment signal JST. The control circuit 50, to which the time adjustment signal JST is input, outputs the same hand movement signal to the drive motor A to the forward minute hand movement circuit 29 and the FL minute hand movement circuit 27 in accordance with the input.

When pulling the pull switch 1 one more step
The FL amount setting state shown in (C) is entered. At this time, the time adjustment state switch S1 and the FL amount adjustment state switch S2 are turned on. Therefore, the FL matching state setting circuit 1
2 outputs the FL adjustment state signal FWS to the control circuit 50 and the time adjustment state setting circuit 11. The time adjustment state setting circuit 11, which receives the FL adjustment state signal FWS,
The output of the time adjustment status signal JWS is stopped. This FL
In the quantity setting state, the control circuit 50 moves the FL second hand 5 to the position for displaying the time based on the reference time setting signal KT stored in the FL reference time setting circuit 21. To drive the drive motor C. Further, the control circuit 50 includes the FL time amount setting circuit 20.
Based on the FL time amount value JT and the FL code value FT stored in the FL monitor needle 7, the FL monitor needle 7 is set so that the FL monitor needle 7 is moved to a position for indicating and displaying a certain FL time amount.
A signal is output to 8 to drive the drive motor D.

In this state, the FL amount setting switch S3 is turned on.
The FL time amount setting signal generation circuit 13 outputs the time amount setting signal SET to the control circuit 50 every N times. Control circuit 5
0 is the FL time amount setting circuit 2 which indicates the set time amount and code.
0 in the FL monitor needle movement circuit 28
The hand movement signal of the monitor hand 5 is output. Further, each time the FL reference time switch S4 is turned on, the FL reference time setting signal generation circuit 14 outputs the reference time setting signal KST to the control circuit 50. Similarly, the control circuit 50 outputs the FL reference time setting signal KT to the FL reference time setting circuit 21 and also outputs the hand movement signal to the FL second hand movement circuit 26 to display the FL reference time.

Then, in the step of returning the pull switch 1 to the original position, first, the above FL amount adjustment state switch S is set.
2 is turned off, and then the time setting state switch S1 is turned off. Therefore, when the time adjustment state switch S1 is turned off, the time adjustment state setting circuit 1
1 outputs the reset signal RS to the control circuit 50. The control circuit 50 sets the set correct time, the set FL reference time, the set FL time amount, the position of the FL second hand 5 in the FL time system, and the F time.
The position of the L minute hand 4a is calculated, and FL is calculated according to the calculation result.
A hand movement signal is output to the second hand movement circuit 26 and the FL minute hand movement circuit 27.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the flow of the system in the normal state. In FIG. 3, a number is entered for each step. The general flow of the overall system described in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to FIG. The control circuit 50 in FIG. 2 starts the flow shown in FIG. 3 every time the 2 Hz reference signal K1 is input. Therefore, the process proceeds along the flow of FIG. First, in step 1, the reference signal counter 16 is incremented by +1.
to add. In step 2, it is determined whether or not the count value CT of the reference signal counter 16 described above is an even number. Since the reference signal K1 of 2 Hz is counted as described above, the fact that it is an even number means that it is a positive second. Therefore, if it is an even number, +1 is added to the positive second counter 19 in step 3. If the reference signal count value CT is an odd number, the process directly goes to step “END” and ends. In step 4, the reference signal count value CT is compared with the adjustment interval value KN selected from the adjustment interval setting circuit 22 to determine whether or not it is the timing for adjustment. If the timing is not reached, the process proceeds to step 13. This means that the FL second hand 5 is moved by normal second time counting, not at the adjustment timing. At the adjustment timing, the reference signal reset signal RT is output to the reference signal counter 16, and the process proceeds to step 5. Step 5
Then, the FL second counter 25 is incremented by +1. This means that the adjustment was performed for 1 second. Next, at step 6, the next transition direction is determined according to the code instruction value KF of the adjustment direction instruction circuit 23 shown in FIG.

If the sign instruction value KF is in the "+ direction", the process proceeds to step 7 to output a hand movement signal to the FL second hand movement circuit 26 in order to move the FL second hand 5 normally for 1 second. Then, in step 8, the FL second hand movement counter 24 is incremented by 1
to add. In step 9, it is determined whether or not the FL second hand movement counter 24 has counted "60". If "6
If it is "0", the FL second hand movement counter 24 is reset to zero and the process proceeds to step 10. If it is not "60", the process directly goes to step 11. In step 10, since 60 seconds have elapsed since the FL second, a hand movement instruction signal is output to the FL minute hand movement circuit 27 to advance the FL minute hand by 1 minute. In steps 7 to 10, the FL second hand 5 is moved an extra “+1 second” at each FL adjustment timing.

Next, at step 11, it is judged whether or not the FL second counter 25 has counted "60". "6
Counting "0" means executing the time adjustment for one minute. Therefore, if the FL second counter 25 counts "60", the FL second hand counter 25 is reset to zero, and in step 12, a signal for moving the FL monitor hand 7 in the forward direction is sent to the FL monitor hand movement circuit 28. Output. The display position of the FL monitor hand 7 indicates how many minutes the current FL time system is ahead of the true time system.

Further, in step 13, a signal for moving the FL second hand 5 is output to the FL second hand movement circuit 26. Then, in step 14, the FL second hand movement counter 24 is incremented by +1. Next, step 15 and step 16
Then, as in steps 7 and 8, if the FL second hand movement counter 24 counts "60", the FL second hand movement counter 2
4 is reset and a signal is output to move the FL minute hand 6a. When it is confirmed in step 17 that the positive second counter circuit 19 is "60", step 18
The signal for moving the minute hand 4a is sent by the minute hand movement circuit 2
Output to 9. Steps 11 to 18 are the flow of movement of the second hand and the minute hand during normal clock timing.

Next, returning to the previous step, if the sign indicating value KF is "-direction" in step 6, the process proceeds to step 19,
In step 19, it is determined whether or not the FL second counter 25 has counted "60". Counting "60" means that the time adjustment was performed for one minute. Therefore, if the FL second counter 25 counts "60", the FL second counter 25 is reset to zero, and step 2
When 0, the signal for moving the FL monitor needle 7 in the negative direction is F
Output to the L monitor needle movement circuit 28. Then, the process proceeds to step "END". Due to this, the FL second hand 5 must also step forward by 1 second because it is originally a correct second in the correct time system, but by jumping to step "END", FL
The second hand 5 is delayed by 1 second. However, the execution of steps 19 and 20 indicates that the adjustment has been executed in the negative direction.

As described with reference to FIG. 1, the FL amount is set to "+1".
Since the FL reference time is set to "8:00" for 2 "minutes, the adjustment direction instruction circuit 23 shown in FIG.
Until that time, the output, the code indication value KF is set to "-direction",
It becomes "+ direction" from 20:00 to 8am the next day. Then, according to the flow of FIG. 3, the reference signal K from 8:00 to 20:00
Every 1 counts 120, 1 second extra FL second hand 5
Stepping forward, and at 12 o'clock in the time zone, it is progressing for 12 minutes. Then, at 20:00 of the correct time system, the sign instruction value KF which is the output of the adjustment direction instruction circuit 23 shown in FIG. 2 becomes the "-direction", and the FL second hand 5 is stepped one second every 120 times the reference signal K1 is counted. The progress is canceled, and at 8:00, the true time system and the FL time system will coincide.

Further, in the present embodiment, the adjustment is performed at predetermined intervals for 12 hours from the time set by the user,
Although the same adjustment amount is adjusted in the opposite direction after 12 hours have elapsed, the adjustment amount from the set time and the adjustment amount in the opposite direction can be adjusted differently. In this case, the time for switching the adjustment direction is different.
