Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electronic timepiece with a biorhythm display function.

In recent years, biorhythm-based recognition has become widely used as a method for understanding physical and mental conditions. The above biorhythm has a predetermined period and is expressed by the body (P), emotion (S), and intellect (I). For example, in a small computer, the above three types of biorhythm information are displayed digitally on the digital display. Display is being done.

However, the conventional biorhythm display method described above can only take up enough space to display one person's biorhythm in a device with a small display space, such as an electronic wristwatch. However, it is important to know not only one's own biorhythm but also the biorhythm of the other person, for example, in a lover or a married couple, but conventional display methods can only display one person's biorhythm, which is inconvenient.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic timepiece with a biorhythm display function that can effectively display the biorhythms of two or more people in a small display space.

Next, the operation of the present invention configured as described above will be explained. The biorhythms of the body, emotions, and intellect are 23 days, 28 days, and 33 days, respectively, as shown in Figure 4 a to c.
It has a daily cycle, with positive and negative days changing every half cycle. The day when the positive and negative values change is the day that requires caution, and the days before and after that are the days that require semi-care. That is, in the body biorhythm shown in Figure 4a, the 1st and 12th days are days that require caution, the 2nd, 11th, 13th, and 23rd days are semi-careful days, and the 3rd to 23rd days are days that require caution. The 10th day is a positive day, the 14th day to the 14th day
The 22nd will be a negative day. In the emotional biorhythm shown in Figure 4b, the 1st and 15th days are days that require caution, the 2nd, 14th, 16th, and 28th days are semi-careful days, and the 3rd to 13th days are days that require caution. Positive days, 17th to 27th
The day becomes a negative day. In the biorhythm of intelligence shown in Figure 4c, the 1st and 17th days are days that require attention.
The 2nd, 16th, 18th, and 33rd days are days requiring caution.
The 3rd to 15th days are positive days, and the 19th to 31st days are negative days. First, the counters 17a to 17f are preset with the biorhythm data of the two people on that day. For example, counter 17
A, 17c, 17e are preset with male biorhythm data, and counters 17b, 17d, 1
Female biorhythm data is preset in 7f. The biorhythm data is the remainder obtained by dividing the number of days of survival up to that day by the cycle of each biorhythm, and first, this is obtained and the man's biorhythm display state is set by operating the switch 11a. That is, when the switch 11a is operated while the content of the counter 19 is "0", the output of the AND circuit 12 becomes "1", a one shot pulse is output from the one shot circuit 13, and the content of the counter 14 becomes "1". It is counted up. By the "1" count output of this counter 14, the AND circuit 4
Gate b is opened and counters 17a, 17c,
The contents of 17e are OR circuit 23a and AND circuit 4
b, and sent to the decoder 6 via the OR circuit 5. Then, the output of this decoder 6 is sent to the digital display section 8, and the counter 17
The contents of a, 17c, and 17e are digitally displayed. Next, operate the switch 11b to designate the _P1 counter 17a. That is, switch 11b
As a result of the operation, the contents of the counter 19 are counted up to "1", and the "1" count output is inputted to the AND circuits 15a and 15b. At this time, the "2" count output of the counter 14 is "0" and the output of the AND circuit 15 is prohibited, so the AND circuit 15a is selected and designated. In this state, operate the switch 11c to set the _P1 counter 17.

A one-shot pulse is output from the _P1 counter 17a as a count-up signal via an AND circuit 15a and an OR circuit 16a. Therefore, by operating the switch 11c the number of times corresponding to the numerical value of the body biorhythm, the data of the body biorhythm is set in the _P1 counter 17a.

Next, operate switch 11b again to set counter 1.
Count up the contents of 9 to "2". Since the AND circuit 15c is selected and designated by the count output of "2" from the counter 19, emotional data is set in the _S1 counter 17c by operating the switch 11c in this state in accordance with the numerical value of the man's emotional biorhythm. be done. Thereafter, the contents of the counter 19 are counted up to "3" by operating the switch 11b. "3" of this counter 19
Since the AND circuit 15e is selected and designated by the count output, in this state, the intelligence data is set in the _I1 counter 17e by operating the switch 11c in accordance with the numerical value of the man's intelligence biorhythm. The above counters 17a, 17c, 17e
The contents of are displayed on the digital display section 8, so
You can check the set contents.

Furthermore, the AND circuits 15b, 15d, and 15f are designated by the "2" count output of the counter 14. By operating the switches 11b and 11c in this state, female biorhythm data can be set in the counters 17b, 17d, and 17e in the same manner as the male biorhythm data setting described above. After setting the data, the user operates the switch 11b to return the contents of the counter 19 to "0" and operates the switch 11a to return the contents of the counter 14 to "0". In this state, the gate of the AND circuit 4a is opened by the "0" count output of the counter 14, and the counter 14 opens the gate of the AND circuit 4a.
The time information output from is sent to the display section 7 via the AND circuit 4a, the OR circuit 5, and the decoder 6.
The current time is displayed on the digital display section 8.

When the biorhythm data is preset, the daily cycle pulse signal outputted from the counting circuit 3 is sent to the counters 17a to 17a through the AND circuit 21 and the OR circuits 16a to 16f.
17f, and the contents of each counter 17a to 17f are incremented by 1. That is, by this +1 operation, the data set in the counters 17a to 17f are corrected to the biorhythm data for that day. The contents of each counter 17a-17f are then decoded by decoders 24a-24f. As described above, the decoders 24a to 24f are equipped with four output terminals a to d, output terminal a is output terminal a when the biorhythm data is a day requiring caution, output terminal b is output terminal b when the biorhythm data is a day requiring caution, and output terminal b is output terminal b when the biorhythm data is a day requiring caution. Output terminal c, if negative, “1” from output terminal d
A signal is output. And decoders 24a-2
The signals output from output terminals a and b of 4f are input to AND circuits A ₁ and A ₂ , where they are modulated by the 2 Hz signal output from frequency divider circuit 2 . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, on days when caution is required, the display electrode 3
1a and 31b, and display electrodes 32a and 32b on days requiring semi-warning are flushed with a 2 Hz signal. Then, on a positive day, the display electrode 32a,
32b is negative, and on negative days, the display electrode 31
a and 31b are continuously driven for display.

FIG. 6 shows the normal display state on the display section 7, with the digital display section 8 displaying the current time and the biorhythm display section 9 displaying the biorhythms of two people, a man and a woman. In this way, the biorhythm of the day is displayed on the biorhythm display section 9, but if the user wants to know more detailed numerical values, the switch 11a is operated.
When switch 11a is operated, one shot circuit 1
A one-shot pulse is output from 3, and the contents of the counter 14 are counted up to ``1''. As a result, the "1" count output of the counter 14 becomes "0" and the gate of the AND circuit 4a is closed, and the "2" count output becomes "1" and the gate of the AND circuit 4b is opened. Therefore, the counters 17a, 17 which memorize the male biorhythm
The contents of c and 17e are displayed on the display section 7 via the OR circuit 23a, the AND circuit 4b, the OR circuit 5, and the decoder 6.
and displayed on the digital display section 8 as shown in FIG. 6b. In Figure 6b, the physical biorhythm (P) is "8" and the emotional biorhythm is "S".
is "2", and the intellectual biorhythm "I" is "25". Further, when the content of the counter 14 becomes "1", the output of the OR circuit 26 becomes "1", the output of the OR circuit 27 becomes "0", and the gate groups 25 ₁ , 25 ₃ , 25 ₅ are selected and designated. , the outputs of the gate groups 25 ₂ , 25 ₄ , 25 ₆ are prohibited.
Therefore, only the male biorhythm is displayed on the biorhythm display section 9, as shown in FIG. 6b. If the switch 11a is further operated in this state, the contents of the counter 14 will be counted up to "2".
AND circuit 14c by "2" count output signal
gate will be opened. Therefore, the counters 17b, 17d, and 17f memorize the biorhythm of the woman.
The contents of are sent to the display unit 7 via the OR circuit 23b, the AND circuit 4c, the OR circuit 5, and the decoder 6,
