Definitions
- the invention relates to an electronically controlled clock whose housing and display panel are formed as a ring, wherein the clock displays are formed by circulating on the ring luminous points.
- Portable watches in ring form are known from WO 01/88638 Al.
- timer, time display and voltage source are integrated into a bangle, wherein the time display extends over part of the hoop circumference and consists of electronically controllable digits.
- the essential feature of a clock of this kind lies in the artistic combination and structural standardization of bracelet and watch case.
- the CH 613 599 G A3 and the NL C 1012053 show that the analog clock hands can be replaced by electric bulbs.
- the time indication is there by means of circularly arranged light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which represent the positions of the tips of hour and minute hands.
- LEDs represent the positions of the tips of hour and minute hands.
- the light state of one of these LEDs indicates the position of a defined pointer.
- Both disclosures have in common that both the watch cases are formed as conventional flat cylinders or disks, wherein the number for the hour-display LEDs with twelve only capable of displaying whole hours. An intermediate position of the hour display, as it happens with analog clocks and is also desired for easier time reading, is not possible there. From GB 2 218 895 A a wristwatch with a watch case in the form of a perforated disc is known which uses a system of LEDs for the time display.
- GB 2 162 663 A discloses a wristwatch with an annular watch case in which circularly arranged LEDs in the luminous state replace the position of analog clock hands. It displays minutes and hours in two separate LED circles. This forces a widening of the housing ring and leads to an appearance of the entire clock, which is closer to a conventional watch case than an annular clock.
- GB 2 162 663 A, as well as the aforementioned GB 2 218 895 A, has in common that the watch cases have the form of a perforated disc, since the size of the remaining space for the reception of electrical source, clocking electronics and display means in a non-essential way of discs - or flat cylindrical watch cases for wrist watches deviates.
- DE 3 806 561 A1 consists in a method of converting a digital timing into an electrically effected and analog time indication.
- circular, square or triangular watch cases are disclosed, the middle parts are released, the time display is effected by means of the luminous states of three concentric LED rows in replacement of the positions of analog second, minute and hour hands.
- this design shows analogous as GB 2 162 663 A the disadvantage of spending a large number of LEDs to require a wide ring band as a watch case and to produce a clumsy appearance.
- GB 2 384 063 A adds to the prior art a ring-shaped watch that can be worn as a (finger) ring or bracelet. Time is determined by the position of two indicated for hours and minutes on the periphery of the ring encircling indicators or displayed by an immovable indicator past moving central ring with printed digit sequence.
- GB 2 409 295 A shows a watch with an annular housing that can be worn as a finger, ankle ring or as a bracelet.
- Indicators for the time are either the circulating light of an LED of an LED ring or the circulating light of two LEDs of two LED rings.
- the LEDs are in the periphery of the ring.
- GB 2 162 663 A and DE 3 806 561 A1 two separate LED rings are required for a time display which can be read to the minute.
- the invention is therefore based on the goal to provide a clock of the type mentioned preferably as a wristwatch, the ring thickness in relation to the ring diameter turns out to be as small as possible, the minute, hour and second indication is on a single ring of LEDs.
- annular row of light-emitting diodes by the light state of individual LEDs at least the time parameter "hour” and “Minute", preferably additionally the time parameter "second” indicated, and the annular display panel are arranged on one of the annular end faces.
- the indications of hours, minutes and seconds differ by the luminous pattern and / or the luminous color and / or the brightness and / or the luminous distribution on a plurality of adjacent LEDs from each other.
- the watch case consists of at least one annular piece having a groove in which the inserted and fixed display electronics is sealed with a transparent material.
- Fig. 1 shows a plan view of the ring watch in the embodiment of a wristwatch.
- Fig. 2 shows a cross section through the rotating band of the watch ring.
- Figures 3a to 3e show display options of hours, minutes and seconds on a common ring of LEDs.
- Fig. 4 shows the display of a time value between two LEDs.
- Fig. 5 shows the use of a pattern of LEDs as a time marker.
- Figs. 6a to 6d show arrangements of several time rings.
- FIGS. 7a and 7d show possible variations of the ring formation from the annular surface.

- Fig. 16a shows the modular disassembly of the watch strap.
- Fig. 16b shows a closing design with a secure closure with the same time built-in and watertight sealed battery.
- Figures 17a and 17b show two embodiments of center elements which can be temporarily inserted in the middle part of the ring-type watch.
- Fig. 18 shows the arrangement of step-up converters and electronic modules in the watch band.
- Figures 19a to 19c show circuit manners for watch strap modules comprising power and / or data lines.
- Fig. 20 shows the modular linking of individual elements of the watch strap, which are provided for the passage of electrical current.
- Fig. 21 shows the bend protection for electrical lines in the flexible watch band.

- Fig. 23 shows the execution of the ring watch as a pocket watch.
- Fig. 24 shows the execution of the ring watch as a finger ring.
- Fig. 25 shows the execution of the ring watch as a wall clock.
- Fig. 26 shows a pair of glasses around whose glasses a watch ring is arranged.
- LEDs 16 are the hours, minutes, seconds and more Can display information.
- Various parameters are displayed here on a single circle of LEDs; the distinction is made by the luminous color, the brightness, the number of luminous LEDs or the graphic light pattern or a temporal change of the above parameters (for example flashing, pulsating, twinkling, Fig. 3a to 3e).
- the width of the ring thus depends only on the technically feasible thickness of the lighting elements and can thus be less than all previously known solutions.
- the luminous colors and shapes of display parameters are expediently chosen so that overlaps do not mask of parameters.
- These display symbols can overlap with each other and yet be recognized individually. It is also possible to distinguish the parameters by other luminous colors. By using the number of dots, the luminous color and the blinking rhythm for coding, many parameters can be displayed simultaneously on the same circle.
- the hourly position is indicated by a fine scale, which preferably has 60 possible positions.
- the hourlight does not light up like 10 or 11 known clocks, which can lead to confusion, but between 10 and 11, analogous to a clock.
- position between two luminance points can be displayed such that both adjacent points divide the total brightness of a single point in a certain ratio, so that the point closer to the exact position shines brighter (antialiasing display technique). If the calculated position of a point is e.g. exactly between two LEDs, these LEDs are both driven at half brightness. If the position is closer to one LED, this LED becomes brighter and the other LED darker, exactly in proportion to the distance between the exact illumination position and the two LEDs (Fig. 4).
- the solution presented here simulates the theoretically arbitrarily fine subdivision of an analog clock.
- a continuously and continuously moving point eg one second point
- the hour and minute display points are lit continuously and can be adjusted to the ambient brightness with the aid of a brightness sensor. This can reduce the power consumption of the clock in darker environments.
- light elements are activated during the full hours, which take over the hour markers of the full hours.
- the 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock positions are displayed brighter or in a different color, the 12 o'clock position being highlighted again, e.g. by lighting up three adjacent points.
- an LED number of 60 is preferable.
- An even higher resolution can be achieved by an LED number, which is preferably an integer multiple of 60. If smaller ring diameters are required, a smaller number of LEDs is used, but preferably an integer multiple of 12.
- the technique of anti-aliasing can also be a constant impression with an LED number that is only an integer multiple of 12 the time display can be achieved. For orientation and better estimation of the exact time, it makes sense to also 5-minute markings along the ring to install.
- the LEDs are connected to the processor 6 via the leads embedded in the annular board. This has outputs that can be switched either high-impedance, low or high.
- the anode and cathode of each LED are connected to these outputs in such a way that the two terminals of each LED differ in at least one output. In other words, the maximum controllable number of LEDs is reached when each output is connected to any other connected via two antiparallel switched LEDS.
- the display of the time takes place in that those positions to which the hands would point at a pointer are highlighted by the LEDs, for example by lighting up a color dot.
- the time marks themselves e.g., the full hours
- the LEDs may also be represented by the LEDs ( Figure 5), alarm times, stop times, alarm times, etc.
- optical character e.g. Color, brightness, graphic pattern, movement pattern, temporal change.
- any color variants are possible for distinguishing hours, minutes and seconds, preferably hours are identified by one or more red color points, minutes by a green dot, seconds by a blue dot, and the 12 hour markers by a blue dot.
- the display points can also pulsate or cyclically change their color (both preferably with about 1-4 Hz).
- the angular position of the entire display can be rotated as required by the processor. If you move e.g. the clock, its position in space is established by means of the integrated positional sensor; the processor will always rotate the entire display so that the 12 o'clock position is always at the gravimetrically highest point of the clock.
- the display points can be changed in brightness by the processor. This is preferably achieved by pulse width modulation. Thus both soft brightness transitions (anti-aliasing) and an automatic adjustment to the ambient brightness can be achieved. In this case, the ambient brightness is measured either by measuring the reverse bias current of the display LEDs themselves (FIG. 11) or by a separate brightness sensor.
- the built-in position or acceleration sensor can detect when the watch is moved or held in a specific position, increasing or decreasing the brightness of the watch as needed (to save power). For example, if the hand hangs down, it can be assumed that the clock is not being read, and the display is dimmed. If the clock is approximately horizontal, it can be assumed that the time is read and the display is brighter. If you move the clock (deliberately) violently, the display can be particularly bright.
- the indicator rings do not necessarily have to have a circular shape; they can assume any shapes, for example oval, triangular, quadrangular and polygonal.
- the surface in which the rings lie does not necessarily have to be flat. It may also be curved or have kinks ( Figures 7a and 7b).
- the indicator rings themselves may also be kinked ( Figure 7c) or tapered ( Figure 7d).
- the LEDs can also be located on one or more open curves.
- the power source 14 is due to lack of space not in the watch ring, but outside, preferably in the bracelet 12 or in the clasp 29, with which the watch ring is electrically connected, arranged. Compared to arrangements in the watch case allows the external power supply due to the higher volume much longer periods of time between battery recharges and battery changes or a brighter display.
- flexible accumulators 35 e.g. Lithium polymer Schnelladeakkus be used. Charging can take place over the side edges of the bracelet: one side of the watchband forms the plus pole, the other the minus pole - this prevents accidental shorting of the contacts by touching metal objects.
- the charger for the integrated rechargeable batteries can be mains-powered, but is preferably independent of the mains, either battery-operated or self-rechargeable. This allows the clock to be charged while on the move.
- a battery 30 can also be accommodated in the clasp 29 of the watch. This purpose is a closing design, which encloses the battery waterproof and still ensures a secure closure of the watch band (Fig. 16b).
- the watch ring is supplied with a constant voltage (preferably 5 V), which is provided by the power supply elements. This ensures a uniform glow the LEDs of the ring clock over the entire life of the battery or the accumulator.
- the clock has a small capacitor 7, which is parallel to the power supply, therefore constantly charged and ensures battery power or module change for a certain time, the power supply of the clock. If the voltage on the watch drops below a certain value, this is detected by the processor, it goes into a sleep mode and switches off all power consumers that are not directly required for the time signal (LEDs, A / D converter, etc.).
- the watchband module 28 with integrated battery 35 has its own electronic part, which converts the voltage supplied by the battery (typically 3.7 V) with a step-up converter 36a to 5 V (FIG. 18). If the battery supplies a higher voltage (for example by connecting two batteries in series), the voltage is reduced to 5 V with a step-down converter 36b.
- this also contains its own electronic part, which converts any input voltages between 0.9 and 4 V to a constant 5 V.
- the microprocessor which takes over all functions of the clock including the control of the LEDs, is located with the quartz watch and other electronic components in protrusions 4 and 5 at the top and bottom of the watch ring (Fig. 1). At these bulges and the watch band is attached. All necessary for the operation of the clock components can also lie directly on the underside of the annular board, which also carries the indicator LEDs, or even outside of the watch ring, and be connected to this via flexible tracks 37.
- the microprocessor preferably runs at a clock frequency above 1 MHz in order to operate the display flicker-free and to be able to execute further programs. This frequency does not have to be quartz-stabilized.
- the time base for the clock is given by a clock quartz, which feeds its signal at an input of the processor.
- the watch ring also has mechanical input elements, such as e.g. a crown, not anymore.
- the watch is operated either via external input elements 27 in the bracelet (Fig. 14) or in the clasp (Fig. 15), but preferably via touch-sensitive sensors on the watch ring, i. via the LEDs of the time display itself, which are used as retro-reflective sensors 25 and 26 by, as already known, their "reverse bias" current is measured ( Figure 11)
- the input is also via the technique of "simulated mass point" or by knocking on the housing possible.
- buttons, sensor elements can be accommodated, which are electrically connected to the watch ring.
- the adjustment and operation of the clock can be done by the LEDs of the display itself: by measuring the leakage current with reverse biased LEDs can be determined whether there is a fingertip 24 above the LED: in this case, the finger acts as a reflector for the light an adjacent LED and illuminates the sense LED 26, the resistance then drops, which, as already known, the microprocessor can recognize and evaluate.
- Positions for the use of a sense LED are, for example, the 3-, S-, 9- or 12-position, because at these points an LED must light up so that the adjacent LED can act as a sense LED.
- two LEDs opposite the ring eg "3" and "9" must be activated at the same time touched or another switching element (eg in the clasp or in the watch band) are operated.
- the case of the clock is electrically conductive.
- sensor areas that are electrically isolated from the housing.
- these sensor areas are located on the inner ring, and can be divided there again and fill the space between two timestamps.
- the sensor areas as well as the housing are connected to the processor.
- a circular arrangement of the sensor elements 10 on the watch ring makes it possible, by circular sweeping of the finger clockwise or counterclockwise over the display e.g. to set the time, as if one wanted to turn physical hands forward or backward by hand ( Figures 13a and 13b).
- an input operation in the clock can be performed in several stages: for example, by touching a sensor element or the watch case, the actual display sensing can be initiated, which then activates the LEDs for scythe, or by a shaking the clock will be triggered.
- the sensor elements of the watch ring can also detect by resistance measurement, if the watch is under water and in this case turn off the power supply via the sensor elements to avoid short circuits.
- the integrated position and acceleration sensor can also detect short shocks, such as those caused by tapping on the watch ring, it is possible to trigger certain actions by means of different time-varying knock signals.
- the double-click known from the operation of a computer mouse can be used to indicate that an operation should subsequently be made. A double-click brings the clock back from the previously selected mode back to normal.
- other sensors may be 9, which can measure magnetic fields (compass), air pressure, temperature, humidity, etc., can store data (dictation), record and play music (MP3), remote control functions can perform , and communicate with other electronic devices via infrared or radio signals (Bluetooth).
- the LED display is preferably in the groove of a steel support structure inserted and there watertight poured and sealed (Fig. 2).
- the support structure may be coated with other materials, such as plastics or paint, or even be surrounded by other materials 21, such as wood, stone, plastic, or metals (Figure 10).
- the support structure can advantageously consist of several parts 1 and 15 (FIGS. 2, 9a). These have assembled a cross-section with a groove which receives the electronic boards 2.
- the detailed transverse division of the support structure is made according to the aspects of a simple production in the sense that after inserting the electronic board 2, a final part mechanically fixes the board in the ring.
- the support structure can also be made of a single piece, for example by selective laser melting technique. In this case, the electronic board 2 is inserted into the groove of the watch ring 1 and fixed there by adhesive dots; the subsequent potting of the groove fixes the board mechanically in the ring.
- the cross section may take various forms (e.g., rectangular, circular, elliptical).
- the individual parts can be screwed together, stuck, glued, joined.
- the annular plates which are inserted into the groove, are preferably made of multilayer material. They can be extended in the bulges of the clock and there on its underside processor, quartz, capacitors, sensors, etc. have.
- Light-emitting components preferably LEDs, preferably multicolored LEDs, preferably RGB LEDs (but also OLEDs, quantum dot LEDs, etc.) are mounted on the top side of the boards. If UV-emitting LEDs are used, overlying plastics (quantum dot nanomaterials) are applied (embedded in the encapsulant), which convert the UV light into visible light.
- the LEDs are either discretely soldered to the boards or glued and bonded directly to the board.
- RGB SMD LEDs 41 are used which have a common cathode or common anode.
- a special unbundling of the annular multilayer board ensures that the LEDs can be strung together as closely as possible without causing short circuits between the terminals 42 of the LEDS during the soldering process.
- annular plate may be further annular elements, for example thin metal masks 19, e.g. 2), or plastic lenses which focus the light from the LEDs or other optical elements (e.g., prisms, Fresnel lenses), or color filters which are used, for example, in order to be printed or milled with time symbols or time marks or other patterns. to increase the contrast, only let through the color portion of the spectrum emitted by the respective underlying LED or grid.
- thin metal masks 19 e.g. 2
- plastic lenses which focus the light from the LEDs or other optical elements (e.g., prisms, Fresnel lenses), or color filters which are used, for example, in order to be printed or milled with time symbols or time marks or other patterns. to increase the contrast, only let through the color portion of the spectrum emitted by the respective underlying LED or grid.
- the inside 17 of the groove 13 in the metal ring is widened down and / or provided with grooves and / or roughened in some other way, so that the polymer polymer can anchor stable.
- the inside of the (conical) groove may have time marks or time symbols 18 or be milled or printed with other patterns.
- the potting plastic can be dyed, preferably dark colored or semi-permeable mirrored to increase the contrast, have UV-active substances (or quantum dot nanomaterials), other optical materials (prisms, pigments, mirrors).
- the potting compound can be ground and polished after curing and / or provided with time marks. If the surface is ground curved, it can focus the light of the underlying LEDs.
- the transparent potting compound can thus take over the function of an optical (cylindrical) lens by its curvature on the upper side and optically increase the luminous point or concentrate its light toward the viewer (FIG. 10).
- the annular array is waterproof.
- Another variant is the precise fitting gluing a conical glass ring 23.
- This glass ring is a torusförmi- ge lens, which can focus the light of the underlying LED.
- the inside of the glass ring can be engraved with time markings or be printed, as well as the conical glass surfaces can be engraved or printed with time marks.
- all electronic components of the clock are mounted on the underside of the multilayer board.
- the clock ring has a bulge 4 and 5 at the top and bottom, which can accommodate both other electronic components such as processor 6, capacitor 7, sensors 8, as well as a part of a joint represents wel Ches is connected to an upper and lower first member of a Uhrarmbandes 12 (Fig. 1).
- the construction of the joint can be limited by an integrated stop the maximum rotational movement to a certain angle (Fig. 20), so that the maximum bending radius of internally routed flexible tracks 37 and / or lines is not exceeded.
- the watch ring center elements 31 and 33 can be placed, which are rapidly interchangeable and may contain in addition to purely optical design functions also own electronics and technical functions, e.g. Stopwatch, compass, thermometer, hyrometer, barometer, MP3 player, camera, Bluetooth.
- the center elements can be cylindrical (FIG. 17a) or likewise ring-shaped (FIG. 17b).
- the clock should have no indentations or protuberances for fixing the center elements.
- the center elements have at their edge a plurality of integrated neodymium magnets 32, which thus magnetically hold them in the steel ring of the ring watch and automatically center them (FIG. 16a), or have a spring mechanism, or are covered with elastic material.
- the center elements can have their own integrated electronics electronics.
- the power supply can also be done via the ring clock, preferably via the same spring contacts, which center the center element in the ring clock. Also a possible data exchange with the ring clock takes place via these spring contacts.
- the bracelet or clasp Since the bracelet or clasp are electrically connected to the watch ring, they may in turn contain sensors and input or output elements (FIGS. 14, 15), for example a date display.
- the watch ring, clasp and watch band can be designed as a module system. For this purpose lead to and through the individual elements (clock ring, watch band, clasp, modules) simultaneously power and data lines (Fig. 18, 19a to 19c). In each of these modules can thus own input and output elements, sensors, processors 34 may be included.
- a watertight joint guides the cables to a contact strip that can be opened.
- This module can be exchanged as desired, the bracelet extended / shortened (Fig. 20).
- the support structure can also be made of flexible and elastic material.
- the structure must be cast in this case also with transparent, elastic material.
- the boards must then be made of flexible material.
- the watch ring can also be used in other embodiments in addition to the wrist watch, for example as a pocket watch 43 (FIG. 23) or as a finger ring 44 (FIG. 24).
- the clock ring can also be built around other objects, for example, on the edge of the inside of spectacle lenses, so that the wearer can conveniently read the time, but this information is not visible to outsiders. Although the eyeglass wearer can not focus on the illuminated spots because of their extreme proximity, he can still detect the position of the blurred spots and thus capture the time ( Figure 25).
