Description

An islamic digital watch

More particularly, the present invention relates to an Islamic shaman watch that can accurately indicate a Muslim, a mecca, and more precisely, a direction in which a kaba is present at any time, anywhere, It is about the clock.

Islam is a religion completed by Arabic prophet Mohammad in the early 7th century, and is one of the world's three religions with Christianity and Buddhism.

Islamic countries use an Islamic calendar (─ 曆), which is 354 days or 355 days a year, 10 times shorter than the Gregorian calendar. Today, it is used in parallel with Islam in many countries.

The clocks currently used by 1.4 billion Muslims are mostly year, month, week, day, and hourly clocks by the Gregorian calendar system.

Even if we use the moon, we use a clock that is supplementary to the solar system.

In other words, there are no clocks in the year, month, week, day, and hour in which the Hejira calendar system is traditionally and yet widely used in everyday life, It is not uncomfortable in everyday life because it is manufactured in an inconvenient manner.

As a result, there is a disadvantage that Muslims traveling or traveling in different time zones need to modify the clock every time they move from one region to another. Therefore, the Hejira calendar system, which is necessary for everyday life, is required to be displayed in parallel or in parallel.

Moreover, Muslims do worship according to the doctrine and the Bible Koran according to the form prescribed at a certain point of view. The worship is performed five times a day (Fajir, Sunrise, Zohr, Asr, Magrib, Isha) · Hao · Evening (dusk) · Being in the meadow, and when worshiping, make sure you are heading towards the place where Mekka-Kabah is. At this time, if the direction of worship (salah = mamaz) (Qibla) is not correct, the effect of worship is not effective, and worship in the wrong direction is contraindicated.

For this purpose, a compass is used. However, since the direction indication function of the conventional magnetic force compass and the orientation indication function are mostly inputted as the apexes (reference points), there is a large error between the direction of orientation and the orientation, There is a problem of worshiping in an erroneous direction.

Furthermore, it is difficult to know the direction of the worship if it is moving from one place to another, such as an outlying place, an airplane, a ship or a train, or where the sun, moon, or star is invisible. There are many errors in the law, and it does not really help the Muslims.

Recently, there has been a clock that automatically calculates and displays the direction of the worship using an electronic direction sensor, etc. However, this reference point also has a little error with respect to the direction or orientation determined by the Muslim doctrine, It is rather confusing because of the difference in calculation method.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a navigation system and a navigation system, Which is able to display the accurate direction of the holy place.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a clock for a muslim shine, comprising: a GPS receiver for receiving GPS satellite information; a local position and time difference information storing the latitude and longitude of the mecha as a reference point; The GPS receiver recognizes the latitude and longitude of the current position of the wearer from the satellite information received from the GPS receiver and automatically calculates the direction and time of the worship based on the recognized current position of the wearer and the information stored in the information storage unit A display unit for displaying a date, a time, and a direction of worship; an alarm unit for indicating a worship time and a designated time; and a control unit for controlling the above configurations.

The Islamic shine watch according to the present invention automatically calculates and displays the difference between the position of its own longitude and latitude due to GPS reception and the positional direction of the mecha (cover), which is a reference point to which the program is input, (QIBLA) display is possible.

As a result, it is possible to display visual and auditory display of the worship time of five times a day, and even when traveling between the time zones, the information received using the GPS and the inputted reference point information are automatically calculated, You will be informed automatically by hand without manual operation. Therefore, the wearer of the watch can check the automatic switching only by a few seconds of operation of the simple push button.

On the other hand, by automatically switching the year, month, week and date of the day (Gregorian calendar) and the year, month, week and date of the Islamic calendar (hedge calendar), it is possible to display it accurately and simply and conveniently without violating Muslim doctrine. Do.
