Abstract
Description
本発明は、2013年11月12日に日本に出願された特願2013-234256に基づき優先権を主張し、同出願の全記載内容を本書において引用する。
ことを特徴とする。
まず、本発明の第1の実施形態について説明する。図1は、本実施形態による時刻修正システム1の構成を示した概略図である。図示する例では、時刻修正システム1は、電子機器10と電子時計20とを含んでいる。電子機器10は、例えば、スマートフォンや、携帯電話機や、タブレット端末等の電子機器である。図示する例では、電子機器10は、時刻データ取得部101と、制御部102と、光源103と、表示部105と、入力部106とを備えている。
(ステップS103)制御部102は、ステップS102の処理で時刻データ取得部101が取得した現在時刻に基づいて指示時刻を決定する。例えば、制御部102は、現在時刻に最も近い正時を指示時刻とする。具体的には、制御部102は、現在時刻が「13:55(13時55分)」である場合には、指示時刻を「14:00(14時)」とする。その後、ステップS104の処理に進む。
その後、ステップS108の処理に進む。
(ステップS109)制御部102は、光源103を制御し、スタート信号を送信する。その後、ステップS110の処理に進む。
(ステップS110)制御部102は、光源103を制御し、時刻補正量データを送信する。その後、処理を終了する。
(ステップS201)制御回路202は、スイッチ203を制御し、一定期間毎に通信期間と充電期間との移行を制御する。ユーザは、上述したステップS104の処理で電子機器10が指示時刻を表示すると、電子時計20の入力部210を操作し、電子時計20の指針2082を指示時刻に合わせる。例えば、ユーザは、入力部210が備える竜頭を引き出して回転させることにより指針2082を動かす。電子時計20の制御回路202は、一度引き出された竜頭が再度押し込まれた場合に、時刻の修正が完了したと判定する。制御回路202は、時刻の修正が完了した場合、ステップS202の処理に進む。
(ステップS203)制御回路202は、スイッチ203をOFFの状態とし、通信期間に移行する。その後、ステップS204の処理に進む。
(ステップS205)制御回路202は、太陽電池201を介してスタート信号と時刻補正量データとを受信する。その後、ステップS206の処理に進む。
(ステップS206)制御回路202は、スイッチ203をONの状態とし、充電期間に移行する。その後、ステップS207の処理に進む。
(ステップS208)制御回路202は、ステッピングモータ207を1ステップ駆動する。その後、ステップS209の処理に進む。
(ステップS211)制御回路202は、計時を再開する。その後、処理を終了する。
次に、本発明の第2の実施形態について説明する。本実施形態における時刻修正システム1の構成は、図1に示す第1の実施形態と同様である。また、本実施形態における時刻修正システム1の光通信方法は、図2に示す光通信方法と同様である。本実施形態と第1の実施形態とは、電子機器10が時刻補正量に付加補正量を加算して、時刻補正量データを電子時計20に送信する点で異なる。付加補正量とは、電子時計20において時刻を修正するために要する時間に対応する、電子時計20のステッピングモータ207を駆動する量である。付加補正量は、時刻補正量が大きいほど大きく、時刻補正量が小さいほど小さい。これは、時刻補正量が大きいほど時刻を修正するために時間を要すると考えられるためである。
(ステップS303)制御部102は、ステップS302の処理で時刻データ取得部101が取得した現在時刻に基づいて指示時刻を決定する。例えば、制御部102は、現在時刻に最も近い正時を指示時刻とする。その後、ステップS304の処理に進む。
(ステップS309)制御部102は、ステップS307の処理で算出した時刻補正量に、ステップS308の処理で算出した付加補正量を加算する。その後、ステップS310の処理に進む。
(ステップS311)制御部102は、光源103を制御し、スタート信号を送信する。その後、ステップS312の処理に進む。
(ステップS312)制御部102は、光源103を制御し、時刻補正量データを送信する。その後、処理を終了する。
