Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide an alarm clock with a snooze stop function that prevents unnecessary alarm notification. A human body detecting means 6 for detecting the presence or absence of a human body at a predetermined place, and a control means for stopping the snooze operation and for prohibiting alarm notification when the human body detecting means 6 detects the absence of the human body during the snooze operation. 9 and 9 are provided.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an alarm clock with a snooze stop function.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, there is a so-called snooze function alarm clock. With the snooze function, if the snooze switch is operated during alarm notification, the alarm notification will be stopped for a certain period of time (for example, 5 minutes), and then the alarm notification will be performed again.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above conventional alarm clock with snooze function, if the user wakes up during snooze operation and forgets to stop the alarm and leaves the watch, an alarm notification will be given again after a certain time, but this is not necessary. This is an alarm notification, and for example, sound alarm notification is annoying. In addition, it is troublesome to return to the clock to stop the alarm notification.

An object of the present invention is to provide an alarm clock with a snooze stop function that prevents unnecessary alarm notification.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention provides a human body detecting means for detecting the presence or absence of a human body at a predetermined place in an alarm timepiece with a snooze function, and stopping the snooze operation when the human body detecting means detects the absence of the human body during snooze operation. Along with the provision of control means for prohibiting alarm notification, the above problem is solved.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a clock circuit for clocking the current time, 2 is an alarm time memory circuit for storing the alarm time, 3 is the current time and alarm time memory circuit 2 clocked by the clock circuit 1. The coincidence detection circuit 4 for performing coincidence detection with the alarm time stored in 4 is an alarm notifying means for notifying an alarm, and in this example, an alarm sound is generated from a speaker. Reference numeral 5 is a display unit for displaying the current time and alarm time, and 6 is a human body detecting means for detecting the presence / absence of a human body in a predetermined place, which is an infrared sensor in this example. Reference numeral 7 is an alarm set switch, 8 is a snooze switch, and 9 is a control circuit for controlling the operation of the entire timepiece such as alarm operation and snooze operation.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the match detection circuit 3 detects a match between the current time and the alarm time when the alarm set switch 7 is closed and in the alarm set state, the control circuit 9 controls the alarm notifying means 4 to operate. An alarm sound is generated from (step A).

When the user closes the snooze switch 6 during the generation of the alarm sound, the control circuit 9 controls the snooze state in which the generation of the alarm sound is stopped for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) (step B). ).

In the snooze state, when the user sleeps at a predetermined place all the time and the human body detecting means 6 continues to detect the presence of the human body for a predetermined time, an alarm sound is generated again by the control of the control circuit 9 to wake up. Prompt (step C).

On the other hand, in the snooze state, when the user gets up from the predetermined place and the human body detecting means 6 detects the absence of the human body, the control circuit 9 controls the snooze state to be released and the alarm notification. Is also prohibited and the sound is turned off to prevent unnecessary alarm notification when a person is absent (step D).

By the way, when the alarm set switch 7 is opened during the generation of the alarm sound and the snooze state, the alarm is stopped by the control of the control circuit 9 (step E).

By the above operation, when the absence of a human body at a predetermined place is detected in the snooze state, the snooze state is automatically released and the alarm ringing state is set.

Although the infrared sensor is used as the human body detection unit 6 in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and an ultrasonic sensor, a weight detection unit, or the like may be used.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, although the alarm notification is performed by sound, the alarm notification is not limited to this, and the alarm notification may be performed by light or vibration.

[0017]

[Effect of the device]

 According to the present invention, when the user wakes up during snooze operation and leaves the clock without turning off the alarm, the alarm turns off automatically, which can eliminate unnecessary alarm notification. It is convenient.
