Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable visual and auditory indication with a display and the generation of an alarm sound by detecting coincidence of a time counting circuit with date and time memorized in a memory to enable the inputting of date, time and a memo, the selection of an alarm tone to match the contents of the memo and automatic erasion of previous alarm information while schedule can be inputted into a time piece to manage. CONSTITUTION:A coincidence detection circuit 304 detects coincidence between an alarm set data 310 from an input detection circuit 309 and a time data 302 from a time counting circuit 301. When the time data 302 is coincided with the set data 310, a coincidence signal 311 is outputted to output the date and time and a memo interlocking the time to a display circuit 303. An alarm sound generation circuit 312 can select several kinds of alarm sounds by the signal 311. The time data 302 is coincided with the set data 310, which is displayed and indicated by an alarm sound. Then, the set data 310 is determined to be the previous data with the circuit 304 and erased from a memory 309. The circuit 304 detects, displys and indicates by an alarm sound the time for example, 10min before the set time of the set data 310.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention allows you to enter a date, time, and a memo linked to that time, and gives visual and auditory notice a certain amount of time before the set time, and then displays visual and auditory warnings again when the set time arrives. This invention relates to an electronic wristwatch with a schedule alarm.

Conventionally, electronic wristwatches with alarms are well known for their alarm function, which allows you to set the time and select the type of alarm, daily or single. Furthermore, in the case of most alarm functions, there is currently only a maximum of 3-ch, 1, which has the disadvantage that it is not possible to set a large number of alarm functions. Furthermore, conventional electronic wristwatches with alarms have the disadvantage that both the date and time cannot be set at the same time. Therefore, there was a drawback that it was not possible to reserve an alarm time one month in advance. Also, although the alarm time can be turned off when it is no longer needed, there is a drawback that the alarm time must be reset. Also, depending on the set time information, it is impossible to select different alarm sounds or chime sounds, making it impossible to distinguish the contents of the alarm by hearing.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, and has the advantage that a date, time, and memo linked to the time can be entered, and an alarm sound that matches the content of the memo can be selected. Additionally, past alarm information has the advantage of being automatically erased. Further, since the present invention has a plurality of alarm setting channels, schedules that have been previously written down in a memo pad or the like can be input into the clock and managed, and the present invention has the effect of visually and aurally informing the schedule.

A detailed explanation will be given below based on the attached drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of one embodiment of the present invention. The display of this embodiment is composed of a dot matrix table 7J<ID j. The external operation member is provided with four side buttons 102 to 104. In this embodiment, a well-known set/select input method is used.

FIG. 2 shows the external appearance of another embodiment of the present invention.

The display in this example is dotma) IJx display 2゜1
It consists of The external operation members include four side buttons 202 to 204 and a dot matrix display 201.
A key matrix switch group 206 of numbers and input switches is provided below. In this embodiment, there are keys and - in one-to-one correspondence with numbers, and when entering numbers, a method is used in which the key corresponding to the number is pressed. As other input methods, there are various input methods such as handwritten input and voice input, but since the present invention can be used for all input methods, they will be omitted here.

FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a circuit of an electronic wristwatch with a schedule alarm, which is the gist of the present invention.

The clock circuit 301 is a circuit that counts time data from the fundamental frequency'. Time data 3 from clock circuit 301
02 is input to the display circuit 303 and the coincidence detection circuit 304. The display circuit 303 outputs display data 314, and the display data 314 is input to the display device 313. Display device 3
13 displays numbers, alphabetic characters, symbols, etc. based on display data 314. A control clock 305 is input from the clock circuit 301 to a control circuit 306 . control clock 3
05 is the original clock of each control signal generated by the control circuit 606. From the control circuit 506, the control signal 307
is output. The control signal 307 is input to the input detection circuit 30B and becomes each control signal of the input detection circuit 308. The input detection circuit 308 performs writing, erasing, and
Performs data reading, etc. The memory 3o9 stores the date and time when the alarm was set and a memo linked to the time. - The several sheet output circuit 304 is the input detection circuit 60
It is detected whether the alarm setting data j10 from 9 and the time data 302 from the clock circuit 301 match. If the time data 302 and alarm setting data 310 match, a match signal 311 is output and the memory 3
The date and time in D'9 and a memo linked to the time are output to the display circuit 303. The coincidence signal 311 is input to an alarm sound generation circuit 312. Alarm sound generation circuit 3
12 is triggered and emits an alarm sound when the coincidence signal 311 is input. The alarm sound generation circuit 612 can select several types of alarm sounds based on the coincidence signal 311.

Further, after the time data 302 and the alarm setting data 310 match and are displayed and notified by an alarm sound, the alarm setting data 510 is determined to be past data by the match detection circuit 304 and is erased from the memory 309. Further, the coincidence detection circuit 304 detects a time, for example, 10 minutes before the time set in the time setting data 610, and notifies the time with a display or an alarm sound. This can be easily detected by incrementing each time data by 10 minutes. Also, in the data of the time detection data 310, if the data of the set time and the data 10 minutes before the set time are the same time, the data of the set time is given priority, and after being notified by the display and alarm sound, Next, the data from 10 minutes before the set time will be displayed and notified by an alarm sound.

According to the present invention described above, it is possible to input a date and time and a memo linked to the time, and there is an advantage that an alarm sound suitable for the contents of the memo can be arbitrarily selected. or,
Since it uses a system that warns you once before a certain time before the set time and again when the set time is reached, it is very easy to use and has the advantage of being able to notify you visually and audibly. Moreover, since past data is automatically deleted, once it is set, there is no need to delete unnecessary data later, which has the advantage of being very easy to operate. Also, a normal daily alarm is linked to the date and time. When entering the meso, enter l'-E'VER in the memo.
Just enter YDAYJ. This can be handled by ignoring date information in the match detection circuit. The daily alarm function can be performed in the same manner as before, so adding the scheduled alarm function has the advantage that operability is not sacrificed.
