Definitions
- the invention relates to a clock with at least one display unit for the actual time, at least one input unit for at least one adjustable, possibly date-related target time, which can be stored in a memory and when reached, a process can be triggered, and at least one Display unit for the target time (s).
- One common target time setting is based on approaching the target in small increments by briefly depressing buttons one step at a time, then holding the button down, which expires numbers to drive to another destination. In this way, a month, a specific date, an hour and a minute can be targeted.
- the difficulty lies in the fact that it is completely unnatural to race towards the goal in minute steps first and then at ever faster, standardized, mostly spectacular pace. The problem is known. You often shoot over the target. You have to start over. Or you stop too early for fear and have to try again to hit the target with further operations.
- a second setting method which among other things knows the "backward movement of time" as is the case with most alarm clocks, can be found on many video devices. If you want to program a program today, on October 7th at 1:00 p.m., which starts tomorrow morning at 10:30 a.m., you can sequentially address the next few days with these devices at the push of a button. As a result, you jump into the right day at the wrong time, so to speak. First you have to orientate yourself and Then, in this simple example, you start walking backwards from 1:00 p.m. to the future goal of 10:30 a.m. The first operation reaches 10:00 a.m., the minute operation 10:30 a.m. But if our starting position (1:00 p.m.) is a bit more complicated, e.g. at 8:45 p.m., the problem is much more difficult.
- VCR-Plus device used millions of times in the USA, our VPS system in its current version, bar code programming or other systems, which are very good tools, are not a solution in the long term. Since only a few programs from the countless programs can be displayed with these tools, only mass programs and a uniform culture are promoted, but not the free choice of the individual is supported. In a short time, television programs from all over the world will be available for everyone and new, generally understandable selection, control and programming methods must also be in the interests of diverse cultures and individual wishes are developed. An approach for this is also the subject of this invention.
- a third way of programming target times which can only be used to a limited extent, is still worth mentioning, is via numeric or alphanumeric keyboards, such as palmtops, notebooks, laptops, computers in general, or keyboards on devices, machines, etc.
- numeric or alphanumeric keyboards such as palmtops, notebooks, laptops, computers in general, or keyboards on devices, machines, etc.
- Date orientation is usually a burden because we think in seasons, months, weeks, especially the days of the week, times of day, hours and so on in which we want to work. Even with date-oriented operations such as "due invoices", the date just fades into the background shortly before the invoice expires because it has to be paid the day after tomorrow or "tomorrow” (that's the quality!).
- the invention has for its object to provide a device according to the preamble 1, which, based on the natural, analog, dynamic sense of time, allows multiple near and distant event times easily, quickly and precisely as a one-time target time or with a few input means to store a variety of repetition target times, which above all also cross-system, ie can be used uniformly for small and large clocks, industrial process control, computer programs, for work, on the go and also at home and can be flexibly, modularly and adapted to individual needs for young and old, and above all according to the same
- the principle of the invention just as well permits the entry of further additional information describing the target times, the selection and display options for the entered information and programs are varied but nevertheless easy to access, and the occurrence of certain events in many cultivated, individually modifiable types announces and can be integrated into as many existing systems as possible.
- a watch with at least one display unit for the actual time, at least one input unit for at least one adjustable, possibly date Targeted target time, which can be stored in a memory and a process can be triggered when it is reached, and at least one display unit for the target time (s), characterized in that the input unit has at least three main input means, each main input means starting from the ACTUAL Time or the target time set immediately beforehand with this or another main input means allows a point in time to be started in relation to the current display of the target time display unit which is an integer multiple or an integral fraction of an hour and / or by name named is the beginning of a target period that is adapted to the natural perception of time that arises from culture and tradition.
- the target time input unit may have a very large number, but at least three input means, characterized in that - with each actuation of the one main input means The start of a target period that is the next multiple in the future of a divisor of 24 hours,
- the multitude of possible main input means can now be put together in almost any way in pairs or in meaningful main groups in such a way that they best correspond to the human sense of time, can be displayed clearly and are easy to use, especially that a few basic elements of the first main group also cross-system Symbolism and relief characteristics on clocks, devices, keyboards can be used as a uniform system.
- This first main group is defined with the respective actuation buttons for the start of the target periods BT1 ... BT6 as follows:
- a clock which provides input means for storing detailed factual or personal activities with the target times, and which has further input means for preprogramming the approach and arrival of target times so that they by means of appropriate means for the user in accordance with the respective purpose in an adequate manner by optical, acoustic or mechanical stimuli, and that further input means are provided which can also be used modularly for industrial or private process control.
- the watch according to the invention and also all the other advantageous developments mentioned are based on the basic idea of modularly designed and modifiable target jump systems.
- the target jump system for entering the target time is based on the beginning of periods that correspond to the perception of time that has arisen from culture and tradition.
- group 1 (daily target times) the input means for weeks (W) and for the beginning of the day (D) are added, in the second group (target weekdays) the start of the quarters (S) and the next few months ( M) enables.
- this target time is saved and remains in the target time display. If a so-called "connection date" is not entered within a further 3 seconds, the clock jumps to the initial situation, i.e. the now-time and the willingness to input back.
- BT3 and BT4 there are "residual jumps" to their target times.
- BT5 it is a full target time jump
- BT6 -1 min it is the target point of the first jump after pressing BTl to 12:00.
- Example 2 target time Friday, October 16, 10:00 a.m.
- the second, the target weekdays group takes you directly to "Monday” on October 12 at 0:00 am, with "Fri” directly at Friday, October 16 at 0:00, with BTl at 6:00, with BT2 at 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 a.m. Process finished.
- the first jump with "Mo" on Monday the 12th is analogous to our first example not only for today, October 8th, but for a long time, from Monday, October 5th, 00:00 to Sunday, October 11th 23: Valid at 59 a.m.
- the target jump size can vary from one minute to practically a week during this time.
- An essential idea of the invention is that one jumps from a "flowing”, so to speak “own”, “personal” time, which can never be determined exactly, into the time-orientation network that has arisen through culture and tradition.
- This "cultural" temporal network of orientations consists of a very wide range of time groups, such as hours, days, weeks, months, which are all of different sizes and also vary within the individual groups.
- the 3, the 5, the 7 in the week, the 12 in the months and again the decimal system play a role in counting the years. Even the months are not the same length, and the year usually only has 365 days.
- the activity-target jump system is based on the idea that all repetitive activities, including the names to be linked to them, subject areas, city names, etc., can be created in hierarchically arranged lists, so to speak, and can be easily retrieved and put together, or supplemented if necessary.
- This target jump system has three main areas that can be individually structured and adapted so that they can be interesting not only in professional life but also outside, on the go and at home. The areas are: 1. The area "Do" with main and secondary activities
- IDA information differentiation activity
- main activities can be supplemented with names or product lists, identical activities can be called up in the display, instructions for use can be displayed, different display designs can be called up, etc.
- the activities, names, telephone numbers etc. can be saved for appointment clocks that do not have an alphanumeric keyboard.
- Saving repetition appointments is very quick when entering the appointment. By holding down the last input means for the target time for different lengths, these are entered immediately after this time; e.g. 3 seconds for daily, 6 seconds for yearly, 9 seconds for monthly repetition etc.
- the symbols for the repetition appointments such as RD, RW, RM appear behind the target time.
- PIM is also a small target jump system in itself. It can be used to select the programs with which a target time pre-warning has to be given, the intensity, how strongly optical, mechanical and acoustic pre-warnings are to be used, and with the category “Melody” melodies such as "Happy” could also be used Birthday "or other acoustic sound images that match the main activities.
- the analog appointment display is a very central, inventive development, which is mentioned in several subclaims and descriptions as an advantageous embodiment.
- an analog appointment clock is particularly provided, which shows the arrival of an appointment by changing the dial, which is equipped with means to recognize in which hour of the day (24 hours) the target time is noted. It can also be used - in combination with a date display - to display appointments far outside of the next day, and to arrange series of appointments sequentially by calling them (NEL).
- NEL series of appointments sequentially by calling them
- one characteristic of this schedule drag watch is to take over the dates from a digitally represented series of appointments or from a memory, to display them in the vicinity of the main clock dial.
- MSZ minute trailing hand
- the minute trailing pointer plays in the context of the Target time notification the last and most important role, namely in interaction with a digital display, but above all with the above-described main element of the target time representation of the appointment tug before the target hour.
- This minute drag pointer is located behind the minute hand, takes over the target time from the schedule timer in the target time hour, displays the target time, and indicates the target time by waving and rotating the proximity of the target time and other important signal zones on the dial.
- the type of waving can also indicate major activities. It is envisaged that it can be equipped in very many variations, with a luminous tip, as a lighting unit, as a pointer with a changing color in screen displays.
- this minute drag indicator can also be used e.g. display several target times within the target hour.
- NEL call-up, acceleration and elimination device
- the main display can be prepared for correction with NEL, individual or repetition appointments can be deleted, and by simultaneously pressing a target day input means, entire series of appointments from very different time periods can be eliminated.
- a further embodiment of table clocks is a month-day display field, in which "identical activities" are also displayed at several points in the month can be.
- Additional program input means are provided as a further advantageous embodiment.
- “Later” an appointment can be prepared for moving into the future.
- “Back” a one-time backward jump in time can be effected with a daily target input means.
- the DFP button Do, Fun, Phone
- An individual pace can be determined with NQH.
- input means are also provided which facilitate program control, such as "PD” (program duration), "ST99” (for 99 transmitting stations) or the like. etc..
- the multifunction button “NEL” is provided as a light element that also emits targeted light rays e.g. on the wrist.
- a special mechanism for wristwatches provides that a tensioning arm, which can also be read or felt as a pointer, irritates the skin of a wristwatch by sudden movements.
- a last embodiment mentioned here relates to a senior or blind watch with which preprogrammed sentences including the actual time, target time and coutdown to the target time or a delay in delivery are spoken, initiated and ended by sounds.

- Fig. 1 The module target jump system in the overview: It consists of the three main elements
- I target jump input system II displays, III advance warnings, each of which is subdivided in a wide variety of ways.
- the system is composed of module categories which, in turn, serve to generate individual modules which can themselves be put together to form a variety of structured information.
- the system is goal-oriented, be it time goals in the future, activity target areas or information goals etc. These goals - and that is the system - are not quickly run in small steps, but can be achieved forward-oriented in the largest possible leaps in the beginning, large ones Periods, activity or information fields jump, and from there hierarchically, ie with different target jump sizes to the individual targets.
- the primary objective is the input, storage and display of target times using the target-jump technique, and, with the same system, the most detailed information possible about the intention - i.e. Activity, type of presentation, type of reminder - to be added.
- the above three main elements of target jump input system, displays and advance warning are used.
- the included target jump information system fulfills a second but very important task, which supports the use of the first system in many ways. However, this will be discussed briefly later.
- the system can be in very different stages during its use, e.g. Enter target times, wait for connecting flashes, put together the various modules, accelerate them or not save them, or when information about specific periods or areas of activity is called up, compiled or explained.
- three main system states can be formulated for an overview:
- the input waiting status ie the constant readiness to be able to enter new target times without preparation.
- This is also a "passive information onsstatus", in which the now time as well as the first and possibly further target times are displayed with the desired characteristics.
- the target jump input status i.e. all activities with which a target time and possibly further module categories are entered, called up and saved.
- the input status begins with the actuation of a time jump unit. These are shown in FIG. 1 under "A. target day time jump system” with the subunits (10Y) (12M) (7D) target year, target month, target day jumping unit and “B. day” Finish Time Jump Unit “(7D).
- TTU target day jumping unit
- Modules 1 to 4 are now set in the display, while a question mark flashes for three seconds on the slots for modules 5, 6, 7, 8 and prompts you to enter them further. If this is not followed, the input process is ended (E 1, 2, 3, 4). Modules 5, 6, 7 and 8 can be treated completely separately according to the same scheme.
- module position 6 and / or 7 can be filled in via the computer keyboard, and an additional line can be written under the appointment line by continuing to write, and an "information sheet" opened at the same time be on the example Discussion topics, ideas or instructions can be recorded immediately.
- the "NEL” unit (shown here in a dominant manner) can play a central role in any state of the system, which will be briefly indicated here, because the effect of “NEL” can extend to all input systems, memories, displays and warnings .
- the next appointments can be called up in the main display, the next steps provided in the program can be transferred - thus accelerated - "NEXT” can be used to change the 8-module line prepare, confirm the individual modules with "NEXT” as cursor effect, with "NEXT” a pre-warning program can be stopped and transferred to the next step.
- the "ELIM” function by holding down for different lengths) words, appointments, repetition appointments can be deleted individually or entire periods can be deleted in connection with a key of the target day time jump system and much more.
- buttons or input means listed in the dashed box under “option” are in horizontal connection with reference to the possible optional use; however, it will not be discussed in more detail here.
- the information system is also mentioned only briefly and without going into computer programs of the module-target jump system.
- the "active information status" can be established, for example, by starting a specific year, month and then day.
- the dates of the target day then appear.
- the display image can be held for as long as desired.
- the system After releasing the button, the system returns to the starting position within three waiting units, i.e. in the immediate readiness and in the now-time, back.
- the system can immediately switch from the information status to the input status, by pressing a button of the "target time jump unit” (TTU). From this moment the input status is established. It is now calculated from 0:00 on this day and the destination is entered with the input means BT1 to BT6. In this way e.g. on a certain day of the future, another is interposed between existing dates and further described using the target jump input systems C, D. or E. Such an intervention in already existing things could also be done with the "NEL” button; once by releasing the main display for change (holding down “NEL” for at least one second, but shorter than three) or by deleting an individual appointment or a series of appointments as already described.
- TTU target time jump unit
- Fig. 2 shows an appointment clock in simple execution - e.g. as wall clock, table clock etc. with the following main elements:
- TTU Day-Target Time Jumping Unit
- BTl start of the time of day 6: 00,12: 00,18: 00,0: 00 BT2 (to start the next hour BT3 (to start the next quarter hour) BT4 (to start the next 5 minute start) BT5 + BT6 (plus, minus 1 full minute) ⁇
- the digital display shows the target time of 10:20 a.m. Since these as well as all other clocks are constantly in the input waiting status, this target time of 10:20 could be entered by pressing the two keys BT3 and BT4.
- the "NEL” flashing unit begins to emit light signals and, if the process is not interrupted by lightly touching with "NEL”, e.g. an acoustic alarm at 10:20, which could also be interrupted by touching the "NEL” key.
- Further target times e.g. 1:00 p.m.
- the daytime button BTl can be reached with jump to 12:00 p.m., from there with BTl to 1:00 p.m.
- Today could be achieved in many different ways. Either by starting the time of day (12:00, 6:00 p.m., 12:00 a.m.) or by pressing the "D" key to jump to the beginning of the next day. If you want to call the saved target times in the main display, you do this with the "NEL" (Next) function, in which you can "scroll" through the target times with a short press. Coupled with further target times is, of course, the date display here and for all other clocks, so that even very distant targets can be clearly shown.
- FIG. 2b has three main other elements compared to the basic clock in FIG. 2a, which offer particular advantages for entering, calling up, and displaying the target times, as well as for the visual alarming of the target time:
- MSZ Minute drag indicator
- steps (2), (9), (12), (15) and (18) branch to different program parts, depending on which of the BTI-BT5 keys has been pressed. (In 26 it is actually not an instruction, because if 18 is answered with "no", it must be the BT6 key.
- the program sequence is to be described as representative when the BT1 key has been pressed.
- the rest of the division of the appointment hours by 6 is calculated first.
- Fig. 4a shows a wristwatch in much the same Aus ⁇ refund such as table clock Fig. 2, that is, analog Ziffer ⁇ leaf, date, minute maximum indicator (1) for representation 'len the target time within the date hour and for excitation of attention by waving and Rotate just before the finish time. Furthermore, it contains a digital display (2) for the display of further target times, the target time keyboard (3) with the four main day time keys and the two keys for "+1 min” (4) and "-1 min” ( 5). These last two buttons are designed so that they stand out clearly from the "5 min button", are easy to touch and can be operated with a fingernail.
- the element (DW) (8) can be used to control the start or dates of individual days or the start of the week.
- the “NEL” unit (6) for "leafing through”, changing or deleting appointments is designed according to the invention as a light emitter.
- this wristwatch can be subtle effective multi-level information about a target time.
- a reminder program could be designed in such a way that the colorful deadline pointer wags at the target time, then circles and then lightning is sent to the wrist with the NEL emitter.
- FIG. 4b shows a sports watch in a configuration similar to FIG. 2a but with the minute trailing hand (MSZ1) for the first target time (1), the minute trailing hand (MSZ2) for the second target time (2), a trailing hand access key (CTT) (3 ) and a countdown display (4) to show the remaining time from the actual time to the target time.
- the two drag pointers can be set by pressing the target time keyboard.
- the minute drag pointer (MSZ1) can be accessed by pressing and turning the (CTT) key.
- the arrangement of the target time keyboard shown here in FIGS. 4a and 4b for wristwatches with the four main keys for the main daily target times (BTl + BT6) and small keys (Bt5 + Bt6) for "+1 and -1 min" not only enables rapid Enter a target time while sitting or walking normally. If the watch is on the left wrist and is held with the thumb and ring finger of the right hand, the target time can easily be entered with the right index and middle fingers even during a long run without having to change the running rhythm .
- the target time input keyboard (Btl-Bt6) can therefore not only be used with large clocks (table clocks, wall clocks, etc.), but is also suitable for wristwatches and is therefore suitable for cross-system use in accordance with the formulated aim of the invention.
- a new target time can be entered not only while walking or during a continuous run, but also unnoticed in company and on the go. If you have got used to the target time input keyboard, you can enter it even in the dark Because the target jumps are not only lightning fast but also accurate to the second and, in contrast to the systems available on the market, do not require any control or attention to the display.
- FIG. 5a shows a wristwatch at two different times with sketch (I) and sketch (II).
- an analog appointment display in the form of an appointment drag clock with the following functions is shown according to the invention.
- the left clock shows the first target time at 10:20 with the minute trailing hand (MSZ) (1).
- a second target time at 1:00 p.m. is shown with the schedule tug (TSU) (2) and in a very discreet manner, because the schedule tug is equipped with a cover device (see FIG. 6).
- TSU schedule tug
- the window opens (see sketch (II)) and shows the target time at 1:00 p.m. in a very striking manner (3) as a warning signal for one more Target time outside the appointment hour.
- This target time is approaching, i.e. in the appointment hour, then the strikingly colored drag indicator takes over the new target time and shows it at 1:00 p.m.
- the schedule tug is surrounded by a colored ring (4) from 12:00 p.m. which is brought about by a second device (see FIG. 5b).
- the schedule drag indicator also shows the target time at 1:00 p.m. and runs from 1:00 p.m. in synchronism with the minute and hour hand pair. However, if a further appointment is marked on this day, it will be displayed by the schedule drag immediately when the next (1:00 p.m.) has been taken over by the minute drag pointer.
- the wristwatch 5b shows a semi-covered wristwatch, as is very common.
- the signal zone important for visual alarms is the right half of the watch. Therefore, all elements that are used for this are visible in the signal zone.
- the "NEL" light button is attached in such a way that it could also emit flashlights under the sleeve; furthermore, the time tracking clock with its striking visual warning by changing its dial is attached at this point.
- the conspicuously designed waving minute towing pointer is programmed in such a way that it not only indicates the target time, but also makes itself felt in the signal zone.
- this wristwatch which prepare the user for a target time and display this at the given time without a disturbing acoustic signal being perceptible in the environment.
- Fig. 6 shows two different covering devices for an appointment tug.
- the dial can be covered with one (sketch I) to indicate that the appointment is far away. However, if this target time comes close to two hours from the present time, the window opens (sketch II) and shows the target time through a strikingly designed dial.
- a colored ring (sketch III and IV) can be used to indicate whether it is an "am" or "pm" appointment.
- Fig. 7 explains the control of the stepper motors for the minute drag pointer, as well as the appointment drag clock.
- the variant is carried out that the minute drag pointer, which is normally hidden behind the minute hand of the large analog clock, functions as the first appointment and the appointment drag watch is used as the second appointment. It is assumed here that the appointment drag pointer only appears if the appointment has already reached 50 minutes before the present time.
- phase (2) the question is whether the appointment in the main display is closer than 50 minutes from now. If the answer is affirmative, then (3) the minute drag pointer (MSZ) points to Minute of the appointment. At (4) you are asked whether there is another appointment. In the affirmative, the question comes at (11) whether on the same day, in the affirmative if in phase (12) the deadline tug is set to this next deadline via subroutines, the AM / PM display at (13) is adjusted and the process is finished, that is, the minute drag indicator (MSZ) is on the first appointment, but the schedule drag watch (TSU) shows the next appointment on that day. In sections (12) and (9) and (5), sub- or secondary programs for stepper motor control are started.
- the appointment drag timer is also based on the only appointment posed this day.
- the minute drag indicator (MSZ) and the schedule drag indicator (TSU) therefore show the same target time.
- the AM / PM time is adjusted and the process is finished.
- the question in phase (2) is answered in the negative, the question is asked in (7) whether the minute drag pointer is hidden behind the analog clock drag pointer. If not, then in phase (8) a command to hide is given, in (9) the schedule drag is set to the date of the main display by subroutines.
- AM / PM is adjusted and the process is finished (14).
- FIG. 8 shows a clock with a minute drag indicator and a schedule drag watch at six different times in order to explain the step-by-step preparation for the dates as an overview.
- the drag dial is kept in the color of the clock dial by the cover flaps (see Fig. 5b).
- the schedule drag watch shows the present time inconspicuously.
- the towing window opens and shows the approaching date 10:20 a.m.
- the minute hand is uncoupled and thus shows the next approaching appointment 10:20 am during the whole appointment hour in a very striking manner.
- the deadline drag watch now shows the second appointment in an inconspicuous way at 1:00 p.m.
- the double ring shows that this appointment is in the second half of the day (see Fig. 5b).
- - (5) shows the clock at 10:18 a.m., two minutes before set appointment time at 10:20.
- the minute trailing pointer indicates the impending appointment by means of beckoning movements (for example between 10:10 a.m., the target time 10:20 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.) and by rotating movements by 360 '.
- Such an appointment can be advised in a cultivated manner by further information such as flashing of the "NEL" key, flashing of the dial, mechanical stimulus on the wristwatch.
- - (7) indicates the numerous options for displaying appointments with the same appointment clock, e.g. in the case of screens, especially in the case of color screens, not only can the color of the time-tracking clock be well designed, but also the conspicuousness of the minute drag indicator can be effectively increased by blinking and waving.
- signals can also be emitted at other important points on the watch dial.
- the clock described here with the 3 analog displays i. H. the analog actual time display and the two analog target time displays (the specially designed minute drag indicator (MSZ) and the time tracking clock (TSU) in the form described here) will later be referred to briefly with the term "3-fold analog display”.
- Fig. 9 shows an appointment table clock, in addition to the already known main elements
- TTU Target day jump unit
- the activity target jump system with three buttons for the main activity areas (Do, Fun, Phone), with the help of which the personal and individual activities can be called up.
- the number of these activities can be of any size, e.g. only three activities each for "Do, Fun and Phone” or a very large number of different activities structured in main and sub-activities. These can be called up and displayed quickly as modules in the target jump procedure (see FIG. 11a).
- the programming target jump unit in order to individually set the type of optical, acoustic and temporal advance warning of the target time, e.g .:
- appointments can be made in a matter of seconds, even very distant ones, differentiated, presented in a variety of ways and recalled and recalled with an individual programming part.
- 11a shows the fields 1-4 similar to the input means "Do, Fun, Phone” + “IDA” in which activity-describing words appear hierarchically arranged in different groups.
- three hierarchy levels are provided, which are referred to here as the A level, B level and C level.
- a level if you press the "Do" key three times briefly, the cursor jumps to position 3 of the A row.
- jumping is interrupted, for example, for reading.
- the button Approximately 0.5 seconds after the button is released, the first position of the following B-level flashes, which is then reached by pressing, and in which you can jump further by briefly pressing the button and jump to the C-level by waiting for a short time. For example, if you stop jumping at one point, the one above it flashes after a second previous A position.
- WRITE consists of five buttons (1), (2), (3 ), (4), (5) to enter word or number combinations in a display or under a memory word such as "Do, Fun, Phone” or "IDA".
- the "Write" auxiliary writing system can also be used by laypersons after a short period of practice and can be attached to the underside or back of table clocks etc. or as a pull-out panel in such a way that it is easy to use and yet not dominant.
- Fig. 12 shows a telephone set with a numerical keyboard, in which - as is often used internationally - the alphabet is listed in groups of three (ABC) at the numbers 2 to 9.
- ABSC groups of three
- This version which is not so widespread in German-speaking countries, allows words to be saved in a relatively convenient way, which means that the telephone can be built not only as a simple appointment clock but also as a convenient, very differentiated reminder clock.
- the essential elements are as follows: a multi-cell LCD display for the time, the target times and the associated activity differentiations
- the alphanumeric telephone keypad The combination of telephone and reminder clock has the great advantage that one can easily make a very differentiated appointment during a telephone conversation by entering the target time with a finger of the free hand and all other elements from the modules "Do, Fun, Phone” + “IDA” and "PIM” to do so.
- Fig. 13a shows a simple recording control device e.g. for tape recorders.
- the control unit has three input elements:
- the input means "ST" for the transmitter station which is designed here as a simple button or rotary knob.
- the start of the tape recording is easily set in the target jump system (2) using the target time keyboard (Btl-Bt6) in the known manner.
- Btl-Bt6 target time keyboard
- recordings can be easily set and displayed over the next few days.
- FIG. 13b shows a programming clock, for example for a video recorder, which works according to the similar principle from FIG. 13a built, but is much more convenient with additional input options and has a larger display.
- the elements are:
- ST 99 to select 99 broadcasting stations.
- ST 99 is designed here as a rotary knob that works on two levels. Depressed, the tens are called up; without pressure, the unit number is added by turning. However, not only the channel number appears in the display but also the name of the station and a note e.g. d (daily) or w (weekly), if this was programmed by the target time input element.
- this clamping arm is in the middle or off-center on the floor attached and on the inside of the floor with a plug-on form (4) on the underlying ratchet wheel (5) in the clock (sketch II). This ratchet wheel can be turned against a spring (6).
- An anchor-like locking device (7) which is mounted in the axis (8) and has a fixed locking tooth (9) and a locking mechanism (10) which is also mounted in the axis (8) and is held down by spring (11), so that the locking device locks the locking wheel in the rest position.
- the locking device is connected via an arm to a magnetic core (12) and is held in the normal position by means of a spring (13).
- the electric magnet (14) is actuated briefly, whereby the locking device rotates, the lock disengages, the locking wheel turns until it is locked with the locking tooth (9) for a short time until the spring (13) closes Presses the locking device back into the starting position, and the locking is taken over by the locking mechanism (10) for another locking tooth.
- the movable arm (10) in the rest position of the locking device enables the tension arm to be opened again.
- two stimuli as in Fig. 14b or more stimuli as in the blind watch Fig. 14c).
- Contact pins (15) are provided for retrofitting a plastic-sealed watch, which can be pressed into the magnet.
- Another variant for retrofitting provides contact needles on the magnet (16), with which the contacts can be made in a plastic-closed watch by piercing the plastic.
- 14b shows a wristwatch in which two appointments have been set, namely with the minute trailing hand at 10:20 am, a second appointment at 1:00 pm - indicated by the appointment dragging watch.
- the end of the tension arm is drawn here with a round button, which can be implemented as a red signal, for example. In a tensioned state, it is pressed behind the bracelet (position 1).
- this tension arm button jumps to position 0, a position that is very well seen by the watch user, and indicates that the mechanism should be re-opened.
- 14c shows a blind watch with a scannable analogue clock (1), a separate, also scannable time tracking clock (2) and the target time input means BT1-BT6 (3).
- the symbols for the four buttons (3) of the destination time input means (Btl-Bt4) are also clearly designed as a relief.
- the "NEL” button is integrated in the setting crown as a pressure switch. Since a minute trailing hand (MSZ) would interfere with a blind watch during the hour and would be very complicated to sense, instead of the minute trailing hand, a reminder minute hand is attached to the base plate as a tension arm. This clamping arm is in the scale (4) at position 0 in the rest position. From there, it is stretched clockwise over the 25-minute position and pressed behind the bracelet (5). 25 minutes before the event time occurs, the tension arm jumps out from behind the bracelet, goes to the "25-minute” position and then jumps suddenly, for example every 5 minutes to the next position until the rest position 0. The reminder minute tension pointer thus enables a pre-warning in a discrete manner. An acoustic warning is only used if the physical stimuli should not be perceived.
- Fig. 15 shows a clock e.g. for older people, who are still mentally fit but whose eyesight has deteriorated and handling small buttons and controls is already causing difficulties.
- Simple and clear dial, wide hands, large buttons, legible fonts, strongly flashing NEL light, clear, acoustic word reproduction and above all large, target symbols with relief symbols, BTL to BT4) are important for the use.
- the watch is advantageously equipped with an acoustic unit which reproduces the current time, the time intervals from the set appointment time and individual voice recordings, which can be assembled in a modular manner to form useful reminder information units.
- sentence pattern 15b shows such a possibility as a block in the form of five different sentence patterns (SM).
- SM sentence patterns
- each sentence pattern e.g. consists of eight modules, which are initiated and terminated with modules 1 and 8.
- Set modules 2, 4 and 6 can be pre-programmed.
- Module 2 gives the time and module 3 the respective difference to the target time or the target time itself.
- Module 7 - here: "take medicine" - is recorded via the voice input element "Speak" after the time has been entered via the main input means BT1 to BT6 and the written text was entered via the input means "WRITE" or retrieved from the memory.
- these modules can also be put together and entered orally in another embodiment, so that a close person can be heard instead of a foreign voice.
- 16a shows a mini organizer and calculator in credit card format with an alphanumeric keyboard. Quick entry of appointments and activities is difficult and lengthy due to the large number and very small buttons.
- the credit card format is large enough for all four main target jump systems ("4-ZS” keyboard), the target day keyboard, the target time input means, the activity differentiation with "Do, Fun, Phone “and” IDA “, as well as the "MIP” button including the “NEL” element, which is always connected to it, not only in terms of space, but also in the same grouping as it makes sense for large clocks.
- FIG. 16b shows an "organizer" similar to that in FIG. 16a.
- a solution to the problem of lengthy appointment entry without displaying the keyboard next to it can be solved according to the invention in such a way that the "4-ZS" keyboard only has the lettering of the target day entry at the upper edge on the front (sketch I) of the "organizer " you can see.
- the entire keyboard is attached on the back and in mirror image (here in the review, sketch II).
- the edges of the individual buttons are delicately worked out for the fingertips using delicate relief lines. If you hold the organizer e.g. in the left cupped hand, the target time and the activity button can be operated with the index finger and middle finger from above or from below.
- the target day button (see sketch III) can be operated easily and precisely with your thumb and forefinger.
- 17a shows an additional keyboard which, in addition to a standard keyboard, can be connected to a serial computer cut parts can be used.
- the programs for this "4-ZS" keyboard provide that they are organized in principle according to the hierarchy target jump system. This means that the majority of all activities can be called up, programmed and managed with a single finger in the shortest possible time or can be supplemented without delay by entering additional text using the normal keyboard.
- a variant of this and the following keyboards is that of providing them with a corresponding additional hardware and displays and their own power supply, so that even with a computer on hold the immediate readiness is guaranteed to reserve new appointments in a matter of seconds.
- 17b shows in principle the same "4-ZS keyboard", but according to the invention in combination with a three-button mouse.
- FIG. 18a shows (sketch I) a "4 ZS" keyboard for storage in the disk drive, which is approximately 8 mm smaller than a normal 3.5 inch disk in the insertion direction.
- the side of the keyboard (1) which is first pushed into the diskette shaft and rails (sketch II) is worked smoothly and moves the spring-loaded trigger arm inside the shaft as far as it will go, but prevents this arm from unlocking the diskette scanner. This means that they remain in the rest position above the diskette without being damaged. So that the floppy does not come back is ejected from the rails (2), the keyboard edges are provided with elastic brake bulges (3) in order to compensate for the spring pressure of the release arm.
- locking lugs (5) are provided. Gripping grooves (6) make it easier to remove the diskette keyboard from the diskette slot.
- the opening flap in the drive panel is held up and is not on the input buttons.
- the "4-ZS" keyboard can be connected via the contact rail (8) and the contact slide (9) to the serial computer interface by means of connecting cables.
- Notebooks and laptops normally do not have a numerical keyboard due to lack of space. It can be placed on the back (see sketch III) of the "4-ZS" keyboard - in terms of size like normal computers.
- the drive shaft is thus a space-saving transport container for one or two keyboards.
- FIG. 18b shows (sketch I) a pen mouse in the form of a specially designed triangular stick, which rests in the hand like a thick pencil. It is supported from below by the ring finger and held between the middle finger and thumb. The ring finger lies in a recess (1) on the right edge, which lies exactly opposite the left surface, where the thumb forms the holding pressure. The index finger is thus free for the pen mouse buttons (2), which are inclined for ergonomic reasons arranged and therefore easy to use. On the right side of the triangle is the target day keyboard
- the cable to the serial interface of the computer is attached to the end of the rod.
- the appointment staff is held with the left hand.
- the edge opposite the keyboard surface glides on the right palm and can be programmed very quickly and accurately with the right thumb. Since this multifunctional mouse is very space-saving and the format is not much larger than three bundled pencils, it is well suited for traveling with notebooks and laptops.
- the target jump appointment entry system can be used across systems.
- 19a shows a "4-ZS" retrofit keyboard on a strong plastic film (l) with a connecting cable for a serial computer interface.
- the lower part of the keyboard (2) is free to hang up Explanation template for the 12 function keys of the standard keyboard.
- Holders (3) are attached to the upper part of the keyboard by means of self-adhesive foils and the "4-ZS" keyboard is inserted. In this way, practically any standard keyboard can be retrofitted with the "4-ZS" keyboard.
- a second variant of this "4-ZS" retrofit keyboard contains a digital display as well as the corresponding hardware and a charging battery unit in the form of a rod, which can be glued to the standard keyboard behind the retrofit keyboard.
- connection is in this case via a branch of the main keyboard interface.
- Figure 19b is a combination of a standard keyboard with a "4-ZS" keyboard as a unit.
- Main features 2 cm free strip (1) for laying on the program-specific explanatory template for the function buttons 1-12.
- a mounting groove (2) delimits the entire keyboard, in which a light strip can be retrofitted to indicate upcoming appointments or other events with a play of light.
- the keyboard contains a retrofit field (3) above the numeric keyboard for optional retrofitting of a label that can be labeled e.g. six-part additional keyboard or a "2-AT" clock for time and appointment display when the computer is switched off.
- an LCD display could also be retrofitted, for which the power supply comes from a charging battery that is connected to the keyboard voltage.
- Fig. 19c is also the combination of a standard keyboard with the target jump system, but for Large companies, institutions and planning companies that deal with medium and long-term projects on a daily basis.
- the complete target day-time jump system also shown in FIG. 1, with the 3 target jump units (10Y) (12M) (7D) are integrated (see enlarged representation) to directly access projects or representations of specific years, months or days.
