Description

 The invention relates to entertaining electronic devices made on the basis of an electronic wristwatch, which allows to measure the pulse rate and display information on the user's heart activity in a special, entertaining form.

 Watches based on a combination of various functions, including those with instruments for recording heart rate, are widely known.

 So, an electronic watch according to US patent N 4187671, cl. G 04 B 47/06, 02/12/1980 equipped with a device that records the heart rate, however, it displays the time during which the user reacts to a sudden stimulus, and has a purpose other than the claimed invention, namely, to determine the ability of the driver drive a vehicle.

 The closest analogue of the claimed invention are watches with additional functions according to Swiss patent N 653845, class. G 04 B 47/06, 07/31/1986.

 Known watches are based on the principle of combining the clock mechanism with a system for recording and evaluating medical data at the time of recording the characteristics of the body of the owner of the watch, in particular heart rate.

 This watch contains a case with two dials, a means of attaching the case to the user's wrist, a base electronic clock connected to an astronomical time indicator located on one of the dials, and a means for recording and evaluating the user's heart rate, including a heart rate sensor located on the back side of the case mounting means, an additional indicator located on the second dial, and control buttons.

 A disadvantage of the known device is a purely medical focus. The user receives information about cardiac activity in the form of an abstract numerical value obtained as a result of a short-term procedure for measuring the pulse rate. There is no possibility of naturally and naturally receiving constantly, in the usual form, information about the activity of the heart.

 The objective of the invention is to change the form of providing information about cardiac activity, in order to make it more accessible for perception in time and endow it with a certain entertaining moment.

 The technical result is achieved in that in a watch with an additional function, comprising a case with two dials, a means of attaching the case to the wrist of the user, a basic electronic clock connected to an astronomical time indicator located on one of the dials, and a means for recording and evaluating the user's heart rate , including a heart rate sensor located on the back of the case mounting means, an additional indicator located on the second dial, and control buttons switching on, according to the invention, the means of recording and evaluating the user's heart rhythm is equipped with a counting unit, the input of which is connected to a heart rate sensor by means of a square pulse generator, and the output is connected to an additional indicator, and the counting unit consists of cyclic counters connected in series with dividers, each of which is connected to the corresponding cell of the additional indicator, ensuring the display of the user's "personal time" on it, kterizuyuschegosya variable stroke rate determined pulse rate, subject to display conditions: one shot pulse simulates a second "personal time", and then displays the total result in conventional units astronomical time.

 In addition, the means of recording and evaluating the heart rate contains a comparator, the inputs of which are connected to the outputs of the hourly and counting blocks, and the output is connected with an additional indicator, with the possibility of displaying the difference in the course of “personal time” and astronomical time in the corresponding cell.

 Thus, information about the heart rate is presented in the form of the current, the so-called "personal time", the speed of which is variable, determined by the heart rate and displayed on an additional indicator in the form familiar to the user: in seconds, minutes, hours, etc.

 The difference in the course of “personal” and astronomical time is displayed at the request of the user on a special cell of an additional indicator.

 No solutions have been found from the prior art that have features similar to the totality of features distinguishing the claimed invention from the closest analogue, which leads to the conclusion that the claimed invention meets the inventive step condition.

 The invention is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 1 shows a clock in a perspective view; FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a device.

 The claimed watch contains a case 1 with a means of mounting it on the wrist of the user, made in the form of a strap or bracelet 2.

 The case 1 is made with two dials 3, 4. The dial 3 carries an astronomical time indicator associated with the base electronic clock unit 5.

 In addition to registering astronomical time, the watch performs an additional function of controlling the user's “personal time”. This function is ensured by the means of registration and assessment of the user's heart rate, which includes a heart rate sensor 6 located on the back of the bracelet 2 and connected to an additional indicator located on the second dial 4.

 The means of recording and evaluating the heart rate also has a conversion unit 7 located in the housing 1. The input of the conversion unit 7 is connected to the heart rate sensor 6 by means of a square-wave pulse generator 8, and the output is connected to an additional indicator. In addition, the counting unit 7 consists of sequentially interconnected cyclic counters with dividers (I-IV, in Fig. 2), each of which is connected to the corresponding cell 9, 10, 11, 12 of an additional indicator.

 The device also contains a comparator 13, the inputs of which are connected to the outputs of the hourly and counting units 5, 7, and the output - with an additional indicator, in which a special cell 14 is provided for displaying the difference of the “personal” and astronomical time. On the watch case 1 there are two control buttons 15, 16.

 The proposed device is powered from low-current sources, like ordinary electronic watches.

 When you press the button 15, the readings of cells 9-12 of the dial 4 become equal to zero. Further, the pulses from the pulse sensor 6 through the square-wave pulse generator 8 are input to block 7, counted, and the counting results are displayed in cell 9, divided by 60 and displayed in cell 10, re-divided by 60 and reflected in cell 11.

 Watching the indicator of the dial 4 gives the user a sense of the flow of his own “personal” time, in which the role of “seconds” (cell 9) is played by heartbeats, “minutes” are shown in cell 10, “hours” in cell 11, etc. d.

 Moreover, the flow rate of "personal time", determined by the pulse rate, is a characteristic of the variable.

 When the button 16 is pressed, the comparator 13 compares the speed of the “personal time” with the astronomical one, and displays the difference value in cell 14 of the additional indicator of the dial 4.

 Observing the speed of "personal time" and comparing it with the course of astronomical time is useful for its visibility and has a certain entertaining moment, for example, when communicating, when the heart rate is also determined by the subconscious attitude towards partners. In addition, this observation can help selectively relate to social contacts, plan your environment and serve as the basis for conclusions when observing your health and condition of the body.
