Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an electronic watch having multiple functions, by incorporating also an input/output device into a memory package that can be freely attached and detached to and from the watch. CONSTITUTION:A memory package is incorporated attachably/detachably via a connector 26 to an electronic watch containing a CPU21, a reference signal source 22, an external control member 23, a display device 24, a memory 25 of the watch main body, etc. This memory package is incorporated also with an I/028 in addition to an ROM27. Thus the I/028 can perform the function that can not be covered by the program of the ROM27. As a result, the watch can have more functions.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to the system configuration of the F1 Ichiko clock.

Recently, digital watches with many additional functions have appeared and are gaining popularity in the market.However, traditional watches have fixed functions and cannot add different functions. Ta. RO where the program was written
A number of watches have been proposed that can change their functions by replacing the package containing M. As a result, even though it is the same watch, it is possible to have many functions by changing the package. However, it was not satisfactory because there were functions that could not be achieved by a program exchange company.

The present invention eliminates such drawbacks and its purpose is to provide a mineral electronic timepiece that can be provided with many functions.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on Examples.

I! FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a conventional electronic timepiece using a memory package replacement method. 11 is a central control arithmetic unit, 12
Reference signal source such as crystal oscillator, 13ti push button switch, keyboard, external operation material of Cape Liez, 14a
LOD, LED, KODigo display device, 15 is the memory that the watch has, 16#i connector, 17ti
Memory inside the memory package. 17 is usually
The R10M has a program written in it, which determines the specifications of the watch. Read the 17 program based on the 11ti12 signal and follow the instructions to 130
It refers to the input, creates data to be extracted and output using the 10M4'RAM in 15, displays the result on 14, and generates a sound from the speaker.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the electronic timepiece according to the present invention.

21 Fi central control unit, 22 reference signal source, 23 external SLL operating member, 24 display device, 25 memory included in the watch body, 26 connector, 27 memory in the package. The above operation is the same as in the case of FIG.

Reference numeral 28 denotes an input/output device which is a feature of the present invention, and includes a manual input device for sending data to 21 and an output device for outputting results from Fi 21. 21 to 26 are the clock bodies, which are built into memory packages 27 and 28.

28 is an input/output device necessary for the functions that can be performed by the program in 27.

FIG. 3 shows the appearance of an electronic timepiece using the present invention.

31 is the main body of the clock, and 32 is a memory package with built-in input/output devices. This is a connector that connects the 55Fi watch body and memory pack 2, and is a memo connector.
and the input/output devices are electrically coupled to the central control processing unit. 34 is a display device. Figure 4 shows an embodiment of an electronic timepiece using the present invention. The memory package has a ROM containing programs for game functions and two front button switches for games (Figure 4-41) as input devices. For things that use buttons frequently, such as games, it will be easier to use the front buttons rather than the side button switches. The figure uses a 16 x 40 LCD display panel to display the game score on the left, the highest score on the top right, and the current score on the bottom right.

Another embodiment is shown in Figure 5. This memory package has a temperature sensor as an input device.

It also has a ROM containing a program that calculates and displays data from the manual loading. ! ! ! The display shows temperature on the top and humidity on the bottom.

In this way, by providing an input/output device according to the program in the memory package, it is possible to provide functions that were not possible with the conventional memory exchange method.

Human input includes keyboards for games, calculators, etc.
It has sensors for pulse, temperature, humidity, pressure, gas, etc., and a microphone for voice input and voice memos. Examples of output devices include speakers and display devices.

As described above, according to the present invention, memory and input/output devices are provided in a memory package that is removable from the main body of the watch, and by replacing it, many functions can be provided, creating an attractive and expandable product. can be provided.
