JPS5915886A - Sound ear timepiece with radio - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain to strengthen the resistance of the titled timepiece against shock and to prolong the life thereof, by a method wherein an ultra-small radio formed into one chip is assembled in a sound ear timepiece to impart both functions as a sound timepiece and as a radio thereto and made audible by the ear. CONSTITUTION:A crystal oscillation type quartz sound timepiece using sound synthesis LSI is miniaturized as possible and a radio function, that is, an ultra- small radio using IC or LSI obtained by integrating an oscillation, a modulation and a power source circuits into chip is further assembled in the sound ear timepiece mounted to the ear or in the vicinity of the ear. The mounting of said timepiece is performed by a method similar to an earphone, a headphone or a stetoscope. This radio ear timepiece is miniaturized to 20-10g and a microbattery such as a lithium battery is used while switch buttons for the timepiece and the radio are separately provided to a place easily touched with the hand. Because this ear block does not receive vibration or shock experienced in a wristwatch, the life thereof is effectively prolonged.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A crystal oscillation type quartz audio clock using a voice synthesis LSI is made as small as possible and worn in or near the ear to create an audio ear clock that allows you to clearly hear the time, as well as a radio function. , that is, an IC that integrates oscillation, modulation, and power supply circuits on one chip.
Another idea is an ear clock with a radio that can be used to listen to radio broadcasts by incorporating an ultra-compact radio using LSI into the ear clock and sharing the ear clock's mini speaker.

(1) The earpiece of the radio ear clock can be attached to the ear in the same way as earphones, headphones, or hearing aids.(2) It is made into a thin bent pipe shape so that it does not fit in the upper part of the ear. (3) Set it on the surface of the ear, the ear canal side, or the back of the ear and fasten it with a screw or spring; (4) Suspend it on the earlobe with a screw like an earring, or any other method. We will hire you.

For example, radio ear clocks have a decorative appearance.

We create elegant designs such as jewel shapes, plant leaves, flowers, fruits, animals, birds, insects, fish, etc., and use designs that do not look unnatural. Furthermore, it can be worn not only on the ears, but also on the arms of glasses near the ears, hairpins, hairpieces, wigs, hats, collars of clothing, breast pockets, necklaces, tie pins, buttons, pendants, brooches, cameos, badges, and neckerchiefs. It has a beautiful design that doubles as an accessory and can be worn in a place where other sounds can be easily heard, making it an extremely convenient product that functions as both a radio and a clock.

Due to the recent high integration of electronic precision technology and miniaturization of each component, this radio ear clock can be miniaturized from 20 grams or less to around 10 grams, and is powered by a micro battery such as a lithium battery or mercury battery. The switch buttons for the clock and the radio are placed separately in easy-to-touch locations, so that a person can use the switch freely with just a touch of a finger.

The proposed 4 clock does not require a watch band at all, and can be provided at a lower price.In addition, it is equipped with a button-type analog minute clock as a backup in case the audio clock breaks down.

Conventional wristwatches have to be worn on the wrist in order to read at the "L" level, but when audio is listened to by the ears as in this case, it is extremely rational to wear the radio with J1 on the ear or on the -L half of the body near the ear. . The ears or half of the body are subject to much less vibration and shock than the arms, and are effective in extending the lifespan of precision watches and radios.

This project, the radio ear clock, is a meaningful idea that has the potential to fundamentally change the genre of conventional wristwatches.

Claims (1)

[Claims] There is an IC or LSI inside the audio ear clock, which is the smallest clock that tells the time by voice synthesis and is worn in or near the ear.
This audio ear clock with radio incorporates an ultra-compact chip radio and has both the functions of an audio clock and a radio, making it easy to hear with your ears.
