  • the arrangement may be such that the device may be placed by operation of the input means, in a calibrating state in which the substantially repeating cycle of signals produced by the sensors during the execution of repeated strokes in swimming in a particular style is recorded, whereafter the device may be set in a normal state in which repetition of each cycle of the corresponding sequence will be interpreted by the processing means as the detection of the execution of a respective complete stroke.
  • the device may incorporate a light sensor, a sensor of the dielectric constant of the medium around the device, a pressure sensor or the like whereby fluctuation in these quantities during swimming, e.g. as a swimmer's arms are withdrawn from and returned to the water, will provide a detection of the execution of a stroke.
  • the sensors operate substantially by sensing accelerational or decelerational of forces, they may be so contrived as to be capable of detecting the slight impact produced by the swimmer's limbs breaking the water surface. Likewise such sensors may be arranged to detect the somewhat sharper impact which may be produced either deliberately or as a matter of course by the swimmer striking the end of the pool at the completion of a length, with the device being arranged to count individual lengths swum instead of, or in addition to, individual strokes executed.

  • the device may include timing means, manually operable input means, processing means arranged to receive signals from the sound emitting means, timing means and input means, and a display driven by the processing means.
  • the display may be a digital electronic display, for example an LCD display, of the kind commonly used in digital electronic watches.
  • the device using signals from the timing means and from the sensors, is able to calculate time related quantities such as stroke rate, elapsed time, etc., as will be apparent from the examples given below.

  • the calibration system adopted may be similar to that utilised in time setting in digital electronic watches, with the display indicating a number advanced automatically so that the desired number can be entered simply by pressing or releasing a button when the desired number is shown on the display, with the display also providing an indication of what quantity is currently under calibration.
  • the device may be capable of operating in any one of the following modes:-
  • stroke rate, pace or the like rate strokes or paces or the like executed per unit of time or time per given number of strokes or paces
  • the device may incorporate sensing means for sensing physiological quantities such as the heart rate of the wearer, and may have a facility for calculating and displaying, on the basis of pre-set information, as well as the total strokes or lengths swum etc., or total paces or distance covered etc., the total number of calories used in a swimming, running or the like session.
  • the device may also include means for sensing the temperature of the environment in which the device is located, e.g. temperature of the water during swimming or, where the device is worn as a normal watch at other times, the temperature of the surroundings.
  • the device may also, where intended for use by swimmers, include a water pressure sensor, with the device, in a further mode, being arranged to give readings of depth under the water surface. Such a pressure sensor may also form the basis of a means used for sensing execution of successive strokes in swimming.
  • the device in one mode, may operate the alarm when a pre-set number of strokes, or a pre-set number of lengths have been swum.
  • the alarm may also be used as an ordinary alarm when the device is used as a conventional timepiece.
  • the device may incorporate a sound-emitting facility the use of which is not restricted to the provision of an audible alarm and which may be used for pace-setting and for otherwise signalling to the swimmer, as set out below.
  • the device may be arranged to operate in the following modes:-
  • the sportsman may train himself in, for example starting in races by operating the triggering button, then readying himself to begin running, for example, or, in the case of a swimmer, to dive in and to begin swimming promptly on the occurrence of the third tone.
  • the timing or "stopwatch" facility in the device commences its timing operation in exact synchronism with the occurrence of the third tone and is arranged to terminate its timing operation upon a further input signal being supplied to the device, which may be done, for example, by an appropriate sensor arranged to sense, for example, the impact of a swimmer's hand on the end of the pool, as detected by a built-in sensor or a sensor pad attached to the wearer's wrist, for example, or by an appropriate control operable in some other way by the user.
  • the device may have the facility for the user to enter a predetermined distance which he intends to cover.
  • this facility when this facility is incorporated in the embodiment intended for use by a swimmer, the device will, for timing purposes, ignore the stroking of the swimmer's hand at the end of a length apart from that occurring at the end of the last length of the pre-set number;
  • the swimmer makes his strokes or a runner his paces, for example, in time to the audible tones.
  • the device may count the audible tones emitted and treat these as corresponding with strokes, paces or the like made, so that it is unnecessary to provide means for actually sensing the making of strokes, paces or the like by the user.
  • the device On the assumption that the user is adhering to the pace set by the device, the device may be arranged, on the basis of a distance entry entered manually and on the basis of the number of strokes, paces or the like (i.e.

On this basis, it is relatively simple for the user, by keeping appropriate records, to determine what is, for him, the best pace, stroke or the like rate for covering a particular distance. Indeed, the device itself may incorporate a facility for maintaining such a record and for displaying the recorded data, or even calculating and displaying, on demand, the optimum stroke, base or the like rate based on the data previously recorded;

  • the device intended for use by a swimmer, when the swimmer reaches the end of a length of the pool, he may, for example, slap his wrist on the end of the pool so that a pad worn around the wrist or on the watch senses the resultant impact and generates a count signal to be counted by the device as another length swum.
  • the watch may furthermore be arranged to be set to a pre-set number of lengths or laps and to emit a predetermined audible signal when the user has, for example, covered half of the set distance or some other fraction of the set distance or every time the user has covered a further predetermined fraction of the set distance, for example at every successive fifth of the set distance covered.
  • the device When operating in this mode, the device may be arranged to emit a continuous tone or a continuous series of rapid tones during covering of the last length or lap to indicate to the user that he is reaching the end of the pre-set distance;
  • (m) a mode in which, after manual entry of the length of the pool to be swum, or of the perimeter of a track to be run, or the like, the device will emit an audible tone to signify that the desired distance has been covered.
  • This facility may, of course, be combined with the pace- making facility referred to above and the timing facility so that the device will advise the user when he has completed a pre-set distance and will at the same time indicate the time taken to cover the preset distance.
  • the device will preferably perform this function even if, at the completion of the pre-set distance, the swimmer is intermediate the ends of the pool;
