Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Snooze operation and next day's alarm set
It is to provide a snooze alarm clock that can be appropriately switched without performing a troublesome operation. [Configuration] When the human body detection circuit 1 detects a human body in the human body detection area after a predetermined time has elapsed after the alarm notification is stopped by operating the snooze switch 8, the snooze operation is started,
If the human body detection circuit 1 does not detect a human body in the human body detection area, the alarm is reset to the next day.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a snooze alarm clock equipped with a human body detection sensor.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, when the snooze switch is operated once when an alarm is issued, the snooze function is started, and when the snooze switch is operated twice, it switches to an alarm every 24 hours, that is, the snooze alarm clock that the alarm set of the next day is performed is special. It is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 63-134997.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 With the above, when the alarm is issued, the user has to decide whether to operate the snooze switch once or twice, which is a troublesome operation when waking up. For example, the user stops the alarm notification. When I was awakened, I felt that I was awake enough and operated the snooze switch twice, set the next day's alarm, and then fell asleep again, and the snooze function required in this case did not work, and at the scheduled time. It happens that you can't get up.

An object of the present invention is to appropriately switch the snooze operation and the alarm set for the next day without performing a troublesome operation.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 After the alarm notification is temporarily stopped by operating the snooze switch, if the human body detection unit detects a human body within the desired range, the human body detection unit makes an alarm again, and the human body detection unit does not have the human body within the desired range. When the above is detected, the above-mentioned object is achieved by providing a control means for setting the alarm notification to the reset state the next day.

【Example】

 The present invention will be specifically described below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a human body detection circuit that constitutes human body detection means, and in this example, an IR sensor (infrared sensor) is provided to detect a human body in a human body detection area. Reference numeral 2 is a timing circuit which constitutes a timing means and measures the present time. An alarm time storage circuit 3 is composed of a RAM or the like and stores the alarm time. Reference numeral 4 denotes a comparison circuit, which outputs a coincidence detection signal when the current time obtained from the time counting circuit 2 is detected to match the alarm time stored in the alarm time storage circuit 3. Reference numeral 5 is a counter, and 6 is an alarm output unit which constitutes an alarm means, and provides an alarm alarm. Reference numeral 7 denotes an input unit, which includes a snooze switch 8 and a sound stop switch (not shown). A display unit 9 displays the current time and alarm time. Reference numeral 10 is a control circuit which constitutes a control means, and includes a CPU, ROM, RAM and the like.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIG. Now, let the human body detection area of the human body detection circuit 1 be a sleeping place for the user.

When the current time reaches the alarm time stored in the alarm time storage circuit 3 (step a), the comparison circuit 4 sends a coincidence detection signal to the control circuit 10, and the control circuit 10 sends an alarm to the alarm output unit 6. Notify (step b). When the snooze switch 8 is closed (step c), the control circuit 10 stops the alarm notification from the alarm output unit 6 (step d) and operates the counter 5 for a fixed time (for example, 5 minutes). ) Count (step e). When the human body detection circuit 1 detects a human body in the human body detection area at the end of counting (steps f and g), the control circuit 10 causes the alarm output unit 6 to notify the alarm again (step h). That is, the snooze operation is executed. If no human body is detected in the human body detection area at the end of counting (steps f and g), the control circuit 10 resets the alarm the next day (step i).

In other words, after a lapse of a certain time after the alarm is stopped, if the user does not wake up and is still in the sleeping place, the snooze operation is executed, and the user wakes up and leaves the sleeping place. The alarm will be reset next day.

[0011]

[Effect of the device]

 As described in detail above, the snooze alarm clock of the present invention causes the snooze operation to be executed when the human body detecting means detects the human body within the desired range after the alarm notification is temporarily stopped by operating the snooze switch. If the human body detection means detects that no human body is present within the desired range, the alarm notification is reset to the next day.For example, by setting the desired range of the human body detection means as the user's sleeping place, snooze After a certain amount of time has passed since the alarm was turned off by operating the switch, if the user does not wake up and is still in the sleeping place, the snooze operation is executed, and the user wakes up and leaves the sleeping place. When you go, you can reset the alarm the next day, and appropriately switch between snooze operation and the next day's alarm set without troublesome operations. It is possible.
