Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

The present invention relates to an electronic clock with biorhythm. Human beings have a certain rhythm of ups and downs in their bodies (hereinafter abbreviated as P), emotions (hereinafter abbreviated as S), and intellect (hereinafter abbreviated as I), and this is called biorhythm. Knowing your own condition based on your biorhythm can be useful, such as avoiding important times when you are not feeling well. However, conventionally, there were few means of calculating biorhythm, and only a few were available on calculators and the like. Calculating biorhythm using a conventional calculator requires inputting the date of birth and the current date each time, which is extremely troublesome. Furthermore, since the biorhythm results are output as numbers, it is necessary to check the correspondence between the numbers and the sine curve representing the state of the biorhythm using a separate table, which is very inconvenient. Also, since there are three sine curves, it was difficult to deal with each PSI individually. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic clock with a biorhythm whose display state is easy to read. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on Examples. FIG. 1 shows the external appearance of the electronic timepiece with biorhythm according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows all segments of the partition plate and liquid crystal panel. Figure 1-11 is a parting board;
One sine curve representing the state of biorhythm is drawn. The sine curve is divided into eight parts in the time axis direction as shown in FIG. The reason for dividing the biorhythm into 8 parts is that to express the state of the biorhythm, there are three types: caution days (Figure 2-21), good days (Figure 2-23), and caution days (Figure 2-23).
Figure 25), 4 states of poor condition (Figure 2-27), and 4 states in between (Figure 2-22, 24, 26, 28)
This is because we thought that 8 states plus 8 states would be appropriate, and it is not necessary to have 8 states. As shown in Figure 2, there is a segment group divided into 8 in the time axis direction for each PSI, and a total of 24 segments constitute the biorhythm indicator.
As shown in Figure 1, the current state of the biorhythm is indicated by lighting only one segment for each PSI. 21 and 25 in Figure 2
Since this is a dangerous day, it may be possible to make only the segment of the dangerous day blink to make it easier to recognize, or to make the segment different from the others as shown in Figure 3. In addition to the parting board, the sine curve may be drawn on the surface of a watch case or a display means such as a liquid crystal panel. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, an electrode representing a sine curve may be provided on the liquid crystal panel and turned on when displaying the biorhythm. By sequentially lighting up the segments 61 to 68 of the sine curve in FIG. 6, the sine curve can be displayed in flow. FIG. 7 is an example of displaying a biorhythm sine curve using a dot matrix. PSI by vertical line
represents each state. In Figure 9,
This figure shows a state in which the year, month, and date are displayed using the liquid crystal panel of FIG. Figure 9 shows December 9, 1981. By inputting a switch in this state, the year, month, and day can be added or subtracted, and the state of the biorhythm can be indicated by the added or subtracted year, month, and day. FIG. 10 is a display example using three sine curves of biorhythm information, each of which has its own sine curve and segment group for PSI. The sine curve is printed on the liquid crystal panel, and the current status is indicated by lighting segments. The biorhythm calculation method is calculated by dividing the number of days from the date of birth to the date on which you want to know the biorhythm by the cycle of the biorhythm. The biorhythm cycle is 23 days for P, 28 days for S, and 33 days for I. The note date is when the remainder is 0 and half a period after that, and when dividing into 8 states, it is determined by appropriately dividing the 6 states other than the note date. Table 1 shows the relationship between the calculated values and the eight states when the biorhythm is divided into eight states. The numbers in the table are calculated values determined by biorhythm calculation, and are from 21 to 21 in Figure 2.
It corresponds to 28.

[Table] FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of the operation of displaying the biorhythm of the electronic timepiece with biorhythm according to the present invention. 81 is a system startup, which is performed when the date of birth or the current date changes due to correction or carry. 82, subtract B (date of birth) from G (current date) and get D
Find (difference in number of days). In 83, 84, and 85, P.
Calculate biorhythm data for each SI. At 86, according to Table 1, which segment is to be displayed is decoded. The decoded results P1, S1, and I1 are displayed on a display device such as a liquid crystal as shown in 87. Figure 4 shows one of the electronic clocks with biorhythms of the present invention.
A block diagram of an embodiment is shown. Reference numeral 41 denotes an oscillation frequency dividing circuit, which includes a reference signal source and a frequency dividing circuit that divides the frequency of the reference signal. 42 is a counting circuit for generating data for seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years. 43 is a decoder and driver that converts time data into a signal suitable for display means. 44 is a display means such as a liquid crystal panel. 45 is a register capable of holding data of the year, month, and day, and the data of the year, month, and day can be written from the counting circuit 42. 46 is an input means such as a push button, which can add and subtract the year, month, and day data of 45. 47 is a register for storing the date of birth. 48 is an arithmetic circuit that calculates the biorhythm based on the data of the two dates, and outputs the result to the display means 44 through the decoder/driver 43. The operation will be explained. In normal mode, the time and biorhythm of the day are displayed as shown in Figure 1. At this time, 48 arithmetic circuits are calculating the biorhythm based on 42 date data and 47 date of birth data. When you change the mode, the current date and biorhythm will be displayed. In this mode, addition/subtraction of year, month, and day data is performed by button input, and the added/subtracted biorhythm of the year, month, and day is displayed. At the time of mode change, the year, month, and day data of 42 is imprinted on 45, and the arithmetic circuit of 48 calculates the biorhythm based on the year, month, and day data of 45 and the date of birth of 47. Further, the date data of 45 is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 44 through the decoder/driver of 43. The year, month, and day of 45 can be added or subtracted by pressing the 46 buttons. An embodiment in which a microprogram control circuit is used in the biorhythm electronic timepiece of the present invention will be described. The microprogram control circuit uses a signal obtained by dividing the reference signal source by a frequency dividing circuit.

As described above, according to the present invention, the biorhythm information of the body, emotion, and intellect, which is the current state of the biorhythm, is displayed as an indicator consisting of a group of segments in three columns, corresponding to the sine curve drawn on the cutout board, etc. This makes it easy to read the display status of biorhythm information, allowing you to intuitively judge your own status, and since the biorhythm is always displayed in normal conditions, there is no need to worry about operating it.
Additionally, each PSI has an independent biorhythm indicator, so there is no need to switch between displays. The date required for biorhythm calculations uses the current year, month, and day that the clock circuit has, so there is no need to set the date. In addition, since the sine curve is displayed by printing, etc., it has the effect of promoting the fact that it is a biorhythm watch. Furthermore, in the present invention, there is only one sine curve for three biorhythms with different periods, so the state of the biorhythm can be easily recognized.
