- FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of the electronic timepiece of FIG. 1; I
- FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of the control circuit of FIG. 2; and i switch for selecting the digit to be corrected.
- a digit can refer to one of the two digits representative of each of the second, minute, hour and day displays, or to both of the respective digits. Further, it can refer to one of the seven days of the week, or to all of the seven days of the week.
- the second push button 8, is a correcting switch for correcting the selected digit.
- the minutes digit reads 34. If the minute digit is selected by selecting switch S the digit starts flickering or blinking. With each depression of correcting switch S,, the number appearing in the minute display is indexed so as to increase by one to effect time correction. By operating selector switch S each of the other digits of time can be selected for correction.
- the watch is provided with a crown S on 'the side thereof which constitutes a safety switch.
- a safety circuit is actuated and push buttons S and 5,, are deactivated and will not function even if pushed.
- the safety circuit In order to render the push buttons operative, the safety circuit must be releasedby pulling out crown S
- the circuit of the electronic timepiece in accordance with the invention is shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, wherein the high frequency time standard signal of a crystal'oscillator X (for example 16,384 Hz) is divided by a counter chain consisting of sixstages I-6.
- Counter 3 divides the 1-minute signal into a l-hour signal, counting60 minutes.
- Counter 4 divides the 1-hour signal into a l-day signal, counting 24 hours.
- Counter 5 divides the l-day signal into a l-month signal by counting 31 days.
- the counter 6 likewise divides the 1-day signal, but to produce a l-week signal, counting the 7 days of the week.
- a decoder 7-1 1 is connected to receive the BCD output signal of each of counters 2-6 to transform the BCD code signal outputs of said counters into a decimal signal-DEC for actuating the corresponding liquid crystal displays representative of second (L minute (L ),,hour (L date (L,,) and day of the week (L
- Each decoder is connected toits respective liquid crystal display. through-a NAND gate circuit, the other input to each of said NAND gates being from control
- FIG. 4 is a timing chart of the circuit of FIGS. 2 and Referring now to FIG. I, the electronic wrist watch depicted is provided for purposes of. illustration with a liquid crystal display adapted to display date, day, hour, minute and second it being understood that such display could include light emitting diodes or the like.
- control circuit 12 output S of control circuit 12 is coupled to the NAND gate associated with the second liquid crystal display L
- control circuit 12 outputs M I-l,,, D,,, W are respectively connected to the NAND gate associated with minute liquid crystal display L hour liquid crystal display L day liquid crystal display L and day of the week liquid crystal dis-
- the outputs S,,, M,,,, H,,, D,, and W, are at a high state and the liquid crystal displays are driven normally by the decimal outputs of the respective decoders 7-l1.
- a low frequency signal F of a frequency frequency signal F is applied through output M, to the NAND gate between decoder 8 and liquid crystal display L so that said liquid crystal display is switched on and off at the frequency of low frequency signal F.
- the frequency of signal F is selected so that the rate of switching of the selected liquid crystal display elements can be detected by the users eyes, the selected display is flickered and can clearly be distinguished from the other'displays which are continuously displayed'
- the signal applied by correcting switch 5, is applied through control circuit 12 to the selected one of outputs S,,, M,,, H,,, D,, and W which are respectively connected to the correcting terminal ADJ of one of counters 2-6 for the selective correction of the setting of the selected digit.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 we find a circuit diagram A for control circuit l2 and a timing chart for certain of the signals thereof.
- Control circuit 12 includes three D-type flip-flops ,FF FF and FE, connected to form a hexadic Johnson -A B O.
- FF FF and FE D-type flip-flops
- the gate is closed and when A is l the gate is open.
- NOR gates N through N are conventional NOR gates having a truth table as follows:
- FIG. 3 has the qaiagl table
- Switch S is closed thus applying a pulse (s to all three flip-flops to actuate the same and effect an opening of NAND gates G and G, by the generating of a 1 condition at NOR gate N
- the opening of NAND gates G and 6. allows signal F supplied from counter l to become output 8,, (s of NAND gate 6., and is therefore applied to display element L causing the same to flicker. Since only display element L is flickering, the operator can' easily discern that the seconds digit is being corrected.
- a pulse is supplied by opened NAND gate 6;, and becomes correction signal S (s.,) which is applied to the seconds counter 2 to correct the seconds time display.
- selector switch S is closed twice to apply two pulses (s to the flipflop circuits, to thereby change the state of the counter.
- NOR gate N is opened, thus making the output thereof a 1 hence opening NAND gates G and G
- the opening of gate G allows signal F to be applied through the control circuit to the digital display element L as signal H to effect a flickering of said display elements.
- a correction'signal is applied by correction switch 8,, through gate G to hours counter 4 to thereby effect correction of the hours display.
- two switches permit the selective correction of any digit of time indication, including second, minute, hour, day and date of a digital display such as a liquid crystal display or a light -emitting diode display.
- a digital display such as a liquid crystal display or a light -emitting diode display.
- This structure eliminates the necessity of separate switches for each digit, thereby permitting the production of a compact electronic timepiece such as a wrist watch capable of displaying a wide range of information.
- an AC signal may also be utilized to drive a liquid crystal display.
- the Idigitto be corrected would be indicated by changing the driving frequency of the digit to be corrected, for example, by providing two AC driving steps, 32 Hz and 8 Hz.
- time correcting circuit means a manually operable selecting switch means and a manually operable correcting switch means coupled to said time correcting circuit means
- said time correcting circuit means being'operatively coupled to the dividers of said time keeping circuit means associated with the digits of time of said display means to be corrected for the selective sequential selection of each digit of time for correction by themanual operation of said selecting switch and for the selective correction of said selected digit of time by the manual operation of said correcting switch
- said time correction circuit means being further coupled to each digit of time of said display means and adapted to dispose'the selected digits of time of said digital display means so as to render same distinguishable from the otherdigits of said display means.
- said time correcting circuit. means includes a plurality of gate meansdefining outputs of said correct ing circuit means, one of said gate means being operatively coupled to each of the divider stages producing said time-keeping signals, said correcting switch means being operatively coupled to each of said gate means for the application of a correcting signal thereto, said time correcting circuit means further including counter means having a plurality of outputs representing the sequential count of said counter means, one of said countermeans outputs being connected to each of said gate means for the sequential actuation thereof to en able the actuated gate means to pass said correcting signal, said selecting switch means being operatively coupled to said counter means for the sequential index-- v 6 ing of said counter means.
