The oscillation circuit 14 has, for example, a crystal oscillator. The oscillation circuit 14 outputs a signal for counting the flow of time within the information unit 10 to the information controller 25. The storage section 16 stores information on the basis of an instruction from the information controller 25. The storage section 16 stores application programs installed by the user or by an application programming interface, also called API (application programming interface). The communication section 18 communicates with a communication (acquisition) section 48 of the electronic timepiece unit 30. The display communication section 20 communicates with the display unit 80. The communication section Display communication 20 performs communication, for example, by being connected to a display unit communication section 82 via a wire. The outdoor communication section 22 communicates with other communication devices such as a smartphone. For example, a communication system based on the Bluetooth standard (registered trademark) can be adopted. The outdoor communication section 22 includes a function for connection to an access point such as a base station, wireless LAN, wifi or wireless internet, etc. The information operation section 24 transmits, to the information controller 25, a signal based on an operation input (manual input) made by an operator.
    The information controller 25 comprises a display controller 26, a signal controller 27 and a processing section 28. The information controller 25 generates a control signal corresponding to an operation input (manual input ) relative to the graphical user interface keys displayed on the information operation section 24 by executing the application program and addressing the generated signal to the electronic timepiece unit 30. The controller of display 26 transmits, to the display unit 80, a control signal from the display unit 80.

    The display dial 32 is a plate which sports characters, symbols and numbers representing the time. The hour hand 34 indicates, for example, one hour of the hour that it is and the minute hand 36 indicates, for example, one minute of the hour that it is. The second hand 38 indicates one second of the time it is. When the hour hand 34, the minute hand 36 and the second hand 38 are considered indistinctly, they are simply called "timepiece needles" or "needles".
    The power source 40 provides the power for the operation of the respective sections of the electronic timepiece unit 30. The power source 40 is, for example, a main battery or an auxiliary battery (including a solar battery that generates power from light and the like). In use, the main battery or the auxiliary battery has the ability to supply power for the operation of the electronic timepiece unit 30, for example for several days up to several years without being changed or recharged. Even when the voltage of the information unit 10 has decreased to a certain value or below it, the electronic timepiece unit 30 can continue to operate by means of the power supply from the source of power supply 40.
    The oscillation circuit 42 comprises, for example, a crystal oscillator. Oscillation circuit 42 provides timepiece controller 50 with a moment of needle movement. The storage section 44 records information based on the control of the timepiece controller 50. The pilot change storage section 46 stores modes for controlling the movement of the hands. In other words, the pilot change storage section 46 records whether the timepiece hands are controlled at an oscillation rate by the oscillation circuit 42 of the electronic timepiece unit 30. or if the timepiece needles are controlled on the basis of a control signal received from the information unit 10. The operation section 47 is, for example, a winding crown which emits, at destination of the timepiece controller 50, the operation result (for example, a rotation operation and a pressing operation) of the operation performed by the user.
    The communication section 48 is connected to, for example, the communication section 18 of the information unit 10 by means of a wire, making a communication between them. Communication standards such as the serial interface, the inter-integrated circuit (l2C) standard and the serial peripheral interface (SPI) standard can be used for communication. The communication section 48 may also establish a wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered mark) with the communication section 18 of the information unit 10. The communication section 48 may also have the function of communicating with other communication devices or with access points for accessing the base station and the network.
    The timepiece controller 50 controls respective sections of the electronic timepiece unit 30. The timepiece controller 50 updates time information and controls the driving sections of the timepiece control unit 50. needle 52A to 52C on the basis of the needle movement rate provided by the oscillation circuit 42. The timepiece controller 50 also determines whether the piloting of the timepiece hands is performed by the device itself. or even if it is performed on the basis of the signal transmitted from another device, and controls the needle drive sections 52A-52C according to the mode that has been determined. The details of the processing performed by the timepiece controller 50 will be described later.
    The needle drive sections 52A-52C are drive sections for maneuvering the timepiece needles. The needle drive sections 52A-52G respectively comprise motor driver circuits 54A-54C, motors 56A-56C, wheel needles 58A-58C, and needle position sensors 60A-60C. When constituent functions included in these respective parts are not distinguished from each other, none of the letters A to C added to the numbers are written. The explanation will be made assuming that the electronic timepiece 30 has the needle position detectors 60A-60C in the embodiment, however it is specified that it is not always necessary to having the needle position detectors 60A to 60C, as well as any one or two of the needle position detectors among the needle position detectors 60A to 60C may be provided.
    The motor drive circuit 54 generates a driving pulse of the motor 56, based on a signal emitted by the timepiece controller 50. The motor 56 rotates on the basis of the pulse of the motor. control generated by the motor control circuit 54. The motor 56 is, for example, a stepping motor operating in synchronization with the driving pulses. The timepiece hand rotates once through the wheel needle 58 when the stepper motor rotates an angular division (180 °). The angular division corresponds to a step. The wheel needles 58 are cogs connected to the rotation shafts of the motors 56. The respective gears of the wheel needles 58 are rotated due to the rotation of the rotation shafts of the motors 56, which causes the needle to rotate. 34 hours, the minute hand 36 and the seconds hand 38.
    The needle position detectors 60A to 60C respectively detect the positions of the hour hand 34, the minute hand 36 and the second hand 38, addressing the results of the detection to the controllers of the hand. timepiece 50. The needle position sensor 60 has, for example, a light emitting device and a light receiving device. A light emitting surface of the light emitting device and a light receiving surface of the light receiving device are arranged to face each other, with a gear having a position detecting hole interposed therebetween. The needle position sensor 60 detects the position of the timepiece needle on the basis of the light which, emitted by the light emitting device, is received by the light receiving device. It is also possible for the needle position detector 60 to receive the driving pulse generated by the motor control circuit 54 and to determine the position of each timepiece hand on the basis of the detected driving pulses.
    The display unit 80 includes the display unit communication section 82, a display unit controller 84, a display control section 86, an operation display section. 88 and an operation detector 89. The display unit communication section 82 is able to communicate with the display communication section 20 of the information unit 10. The unit controller display 84 outputs a display driving signal for driving the display driving section 86 based on the signal received from the display unit communication section 82. The display driving section controls the section operation display 88 based on the display driving signal.
    The operation display section 88 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic electroluminescent display. The operation display section 88 is, for example, a transparent liquid crystal screen through which the display dial 32, timepiece hands, etc., superimposed in the coin unit. Electronic watchmaking 30 may be seen when the piloting signal is not transmitted by the display unit controller 84. The operation display section 88 displays an image corresponding to a signal transmitted from the unit. 10, graphical user interface keys for operation, and so on. according to the control by the display driving section 86. The operation detector 89 is provided superimposed on the operation display section 88. The operation detector 89 detects a location touched by the operator in the operation display section 88, by means of a coordinate detection mechanism, and transmits the result of the detection to an information unit 10 via the display unit communication section 82. When it detects a scroll operation, a typing operation, etc. in the graphical user interface, the operation detector 89 generates an operation signal corresponding to an operation and sends the signal to the display unit controller 84. The signal transmitted to the information unit 10 via the display unit communication section 82, as a result of the detection, can also be treated as the operation input (the manual input) from the information operation section 24 via a path not shown.
    FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of a processing performed by the electronic timepiece system 1. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the commands stored in the information unit 10 and motor control definition tables stored in the electronic timepiece unit 30.
    First, the signal controller 27 of the information unit 10 selects a command for controlling the timepiece needles of the electronic timepiece 30 (step S100). For example, any one of several commands SC1 to SC3 of FIG. 5 is selected. The command can be generated internally as well as received from the outside. The signal controller 27 of the information unit 10 issues the command SC to the electronic timepiece unit 30 via the communication section 18 (step S102). For example, when an operation input (manual input) is made by a user with the operation display section 88 of the display unit 80, the signal controller 27 selects the command. The control is, for example, a clock control signal regardless of the time, including identification information of an engine control definition table described later in the command. . The control may also include simple control information such as the number of repetitions of an operation relating to a control program provided for driving the motors based on the engine control definition table.
    Next, the timepiece controller 50 of the electronic timepiece unit 30 receives the command SC via the communication section 48 and reads the motor control definition table corresponding to the command SC received. from the storage section 44 for driving the motors (step S104, S106). As shown in FIG. 5, several motor control definition tables are stored in the storage section 44, and a desired table T is selected in accordance with the identification information included in the command SC received via the communication section 48.
    FIG. 6 shows a format of a table T1 (a first motor control definition table in the claims) as an example of a motor motor driving definition table which drives the hands including the minute hand, etc. Tables T are provided for several respective commands. Here, the engine control definition table is made of information ordering, for example, a continuous maneuvering of the timepiece needles. For example, control information of hands 34, 36 and 38, etc. are recorded for respective selections prescribing the timing operation. In this case, the timepiece controller 50 operates the needle by controlling the needle drive section 52 based on information stored in selections 1 to N, as shown in the drawing. The information stored in the selections are, for example, control data of the timepiece needles, such as the piloted needle, indicating the needles to be driven, the frequency of driving the needles (speed), the direction of the needles. rotation of the timepiece needles, the drive counter indicating the needle drive targets, i.e. the rotation angles of the timepiece hands driven by processing a selection, the position where starts the operation of the timepiece hands, the interval indicating the time until the next process is started, the selection number indicating the selection to be processed next. Physical quantities corresponding to these control data are respectively indicated.
    Next, we will describe the definition of the control data of the table T1. The control data called "controlled needle" indicates the needle number to be controlled. In this case, the "hour hand", the "minute hand", the "second hand" and a "small hand" are indicated as physical quantities. The small needle is made in the form of the "small needle" 64 described below, according to a second embodiment. In the control data called "starting position", values of a counter indicating the starting positions of the hands are defined. The starting position angle is defined by setting a counter to be 1, 5 ° and setting the 12 o'clock position to 0 ° (zero). For example, when the count value is "120", the angle of 180 ° (a position at 6 o'clock) is indicated. As a count value, "0" to "239", which means 0 ° (zero) to 358, 5 °, as well as a "current position", which signifies a position in which the hands are currently located, are defined. In other words, cases in which the current position is indicated include a case in which the needle positions detected by the needle position sensor 60 are not taken into account, a case in which the detection itself same is not performed and a case in which the needle position sensor is not mounted.
    In the control data called "drive frequency", "16", "32", "64", "128", and so on. can be defined as values. The unit is Hertz (Hz). It is possible to set the value as "maximum". In this case, the value of the driving frequency is not fixed and it is the maximum speed that can be defined in the electronic timepiece unit 30 taking into account the motors 56, wheel needles 58 etc. The control data called "drive counter" is the data that can be operational only when the "current position" is chosen as the starting position. The motor 56 can be driven within a range of steps 1 to 240 to maneuver the needles. One-step driving by the motor corresponds to a 1.5 ° maneuvering angle of the needle. For example, the needle can be moved 6 ° with four steps. For example, when "30" is set in the drive counter, the value means that the target rotation angle is 45 °. As for the control data called "direction of rotation", a rotation in the normal direction (rotation on the right) is defined as "normal", a rotation in the opposite direction (left rotation) is defined as "reversed", and "Normal and inverted" can be chosen when it is desired to hold the direction in which the value of the drive counter (target rotation angle) is small.
    The control data called I 'interval' indicates the time until we start processing the next selection. For example, when the interval is set to "10" while the sample rate is 10 Hz, processing of the next selection begins after one second has elapsed since (1/10) X 10 counts = 1 second. The control data called the "next selection number" indicates the selection number that must be processed next. For example, when selection 1 is processed, "1" may be indicated when the same selection 1 is continuously executed, while "2" may be indicated when selection 2 which is the next selection is executed.
    As described above, the control data corresponding to the characteristics of the engines that drive the needles of the timepiece are defined in the definition table of engine control T. Therefore, the control taking into account the characteristics of motor can be added to the movement of the needles imposed by the command SC received via the communication section 48. Consequently, the information unit 10 on the side to transmit the command SC can control the hands of the coin unit. electronic timekeeping 30 to achieve the desired movement without the need to create a command based on the detailed characteristics of the engines of the electronic timepiece unit 20.
    The motor control definition tables can be stored in the storage section 44 in advance, or they can be stored or updated by being received via the communication section 48. Engine control definition tables are updated by the timepiece controller 50 based on the operation input of the operation section 47 of the electronic timepiece unit 30. or on the basis of signals transmitted from the information unit 10 or other information devices.
    Next, details of the steps S104 and S108 processed in the electronic timepiece unit 30 will be described with reference to FIG. 4 and in fig. 6. Fig. 4 shows the progress of a treatment provided for performing a movement of the hands according to engine characteristics based on the engine control definition table selected by the control.
    In this case, the control of the operation of the hands (36, etc.) of the electronic timepiece unit 30 according to the notification content (for example, a notification of receipt of an electronic mail). from the information unit 10 as the smart watch so that the user can visually recognize the needles will be explained.
    In FIG. 4A, the timepiece controller 50 of the electronic timepiece unit 30 reads the motor control definition table T1 (the table T1 in the following) corresponding to the command SC1 (the first command in the claims) received at step S102 from the storage section 44 and receives values of the control data present in the selection "0" (step S502). Then, values of the needle positions 34, 36 and 38 are received (step S504). Step S504 can be executed before step S502. As a result, target start positions of the respective hands are read (step S506). When the target values are not the "current position", the process goes to step S508 (Y of step S506), whereas when the values are "current position", the process proceeds to step S514 (N of step S506). As the target position in selection "0", the hour hand is moved to the 270 ° position (9 o'clock), the minute hand is moved to the 90 ° position (3 o'clock) and the hand seconds is moved to the 0 ° position (12 hours).
    In step S508, the difference between the needle position and the target start position is calculated. The difference calculated according to a normal rotation is a difference A and a difference calculated according to an inverted rotation is a difference B. Next, it is determined whether or not the qualification of the direction of rotation is "normal and inverted" (step S510). When the qualification is "normal and inverted" (Y of step S510), the process proceeds to step S512, in which the smallest value among the absolute value of the difference A and the absolute value of the difference B, the direction of rotation and the drive frequency are written in a register of the motor control circuit 54. When the qualification of the direction of rotation is "normal rotation" or "inverted rotation" (N in step S510), the process proceeds to step S 514, in which the selected direction of rotation, the value of the drive counter and the drive frequency are written in the register of the motor control circuit 54. Also, in the case where the starting position has the qualification of "current position" in step S506, the method also proceeds to step S514, in which this data is written to the register.
    Then, a control instruction is produced with respect to the motor control circuit 54 (step S516). The motor control circuit 54 drives the motors corresponding to the respective hands, based on the data written in the register according to the interruption of the driving instruction (step S532).
    In FIG. 4B, the motor control circuit 54 receiving the interrupt instruction generates the driving pulse of the stepper motors in accordance with the values in the register (step S534). Then, the driving pulse is sent to the motors (step S536). Then, when the transmitted pulse for the drive counter mentioned in selection "0" is completed (step 538), the process returns from the interrupt (step S540).
    When the timepiece controller 50 confirms that the time interval determined by the interval data has elapsed and that the return from the interrupt has been received (step S518), the method proceed to step S520. In step S520, it is determined whether or not the number of the next selection is the same as the number of the selection being processed. When the value is the same (Y of step S520), the process returns to step S516, in which the motor control circuit 54 executes the same control again by executing the motor control instruction. In the selection "0" of fig. 6, "1" is mentioned as the number of the next selection, so that the process passes to the control data of the selection 1.
    In step S526, it is determined whether there is an end of processing signal from outside, and when there is an external signal, the process stops (Y of step 526 ). The end of treatment signal from the outside may be a signal based on an input from the operation section 47 of the electronic timepiece unit 30 or on an input from the section information operation 24 of the information unit 10, etc. In the case of an N (no) in the step S526, the method continues and the processing corresponding to the control data of the selection number mentioned as the number of the next selection starts (step S502).
    As described above, the electronic timepiece unit 30 receiving the command SC is able to control the driving of the timepiece needles corresponding to the engine characteristics by referring to the table T1 indu at the same time. inside. In this case, it is not necessary for the information unit 10 to know the engine characteristics.
    After that, the driving of the timepiece needles is controlled according to the control data in the table T1, in the same way. After the hour hand 34 and the minute hand 36 have been moved respectively to the 9 o'clock position and the 3 o'clock position, in a horizontal straight line (180 °), depending on the selection-based control "0", the hour hand 34 is moved to the position at 10:30 and the minute hand 36 is moved to the position at 4:30, according to the selection based control 1. In other words, the operation in which the hour hand and minute hand are leaning to the right is performed in an alignment state. At this time, the second hand 38 is placed continuously in the 7 o'clock position. Then, the hour hand 34 is moved to the position at 7:30 and the minute hand 36 is moved to the position at 1:30 according to the selection based control 2. In other words, the operation in which the hour hand and the minute hand lean to the left is made in an alignment state. Then, the hour hand 34 is moved to the position at 10:30 and the minute hand 36 is moved to the position at 4:30, depending on the selection-based control 3. In other words the operation in which the hour hand and the minute hand leans to the right is made in an alignment state. Here, "2" is mentioned as the number of the next selection in selection 3, so that the command is then carried out on the basis of selection 2. As the command of selection 2 and the command of selection 3 are repeated, the operation in which the hour hand and the minute hand swing to the right and to the left continues, which may allow the user wearing the electronic timepiece system 1 to recognize visually receiving an email. For example, the operation is executed as shown in FIG. 7. The small needle is not shown in fig. 7.
    Next, the timepiece controller 50 transmits an end of control signal SA indicating that the piloting relating to the command is completed, intended for the information unit 10, when the corresponding piloting is completed ( step S108). Then, the information unit 10 receives the end of control signal SA (step S110). The processing performed by the electronic timepiece system 1 ends with the above processing.
    The timepiece controller 50 may receive several commands at the same time, or may receive another command while it executes a command corresponding to the command received. In this case, it is also possible to store the received command in the storage section 44 and read sequentially the commands stored in the storage section 44 to execute the control corresponding to the commands. In other words, a buffer processing is executed.
    A case in which the timepiece hands of the electronic timepiece unit 30 operate on the basis of the command transmitted from the information unit 10 is shown, as a for example, with reference to FIGS. 8 to 13. The information unit 10 can appropriately select the SC commands corresponding to the following operations from the plurality of SC commands. Instead of the above maneuvers of the needles of the timepiece or in addition to the maneuvers above, the electronic timepiece unit 30 performs, for example, a rotation operation, an opening operation, a return operation to the initial positions, a one-point collecting operation, a timing operation, a timer operation performing a countdown and an operation of giving the time it is. In the following explanation, the table T2 (the second motor control definition table) is used only in the timer operation counting down, as a motor driving definition table T, although , also in other operations, the T arrays (which may be the second motor control definition arrays in the same way as the T1 array) are created and stored in the storing section of the coin unit. If the engine control definition tables are called "the first" and "the second", it is to indicate that several tables T can be stored, which does not limit the contents of the tables.
    Rotation operation
    The rotation operation is an operation in which the timepiece hands turn on the basis of a pilot program. Fig. 8 is a view for explaining the rotation operation. The pilot program stores steering information such as the speed at which the timepiece hands rotate, the direction and the number of rotations. When the rotation operation is executed, the timepiece controller 50 controls the timepiece needles on the basis of the driving program. Accordingly, an hour hand 34-1 shown before being controlled is controlled to turn, for example, to the right, as a 34-2 hour hand, a number of times. A minute hand 36-1 shown before being controlled is controlled to turn, for example, to the right, as a minute hand 36-2, a number of times.
    Opening operation
    An opening operation is an operation in which the timepiece needles open 180 ° on the basis of a pilot program. Fig. 9 is a view for explaining the opening operation. In the drawings, θ = 0 to θ = 270 indicates an angle "0" (360) degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees and 270 degrees, respectively. The control program stores steering information such as a rotational speed at which the timepiece hands open and a sense thereof. The control program also stores control information in which the timepiece controller 50 detects current positions of the timepiece hands and moves the timepiece hands from the detected position to positions where the hour hand 34 and the minute hand 36 open (straight line). For example, when the minute hand 36 positioned at θ = 180 ° as shown in the drawing on the left rotates to a position of θ = 90 ° as shown in the drawing on the right, the hour hand 34 and the minute hand 36 are maneuvered to open at 180 °.
    Operation of returning to initial positions
    The operation of returning to the initial positions is an operation in which, for example, the timepiece hands return to initial positions, on the basis of a control program. The pilot program stores steering information such as a speed at which the timepiece hands return to initial positions and a direction thereof. The control program also includes control information for controlling timepiece needles to return to initial positions, by referring to initial positions stored in the storage section 44. Accordingly, the minute hand 36 positioned at θ = 90 ° shown in the right drawing of FIG. 9 returns to the position of θ = 180 ° shown in the left drawing as the initial position, performing an operation of returning to the home position.
    Gathering operation
    The gathering operation at a point is an operation in which, for example, the timepiece hands meet at a point on the basis of a piloting program. Fig. 10 is a view for explaining the gathering operation at a point. The piloting program stores steering information such as a speed at which the timepiece hands meet at a point, a direction and their gathering positions. As a result, the hour hand 34, the minute hand 36 and the second hand 38 in different positions, for example as shown in the drawing on the left, meet at the position of θ = 0 °, as shown in the drawing on the right.
    Timing operation
    A timing operation is an operation in which, for example, the timepiece needles have a duration, based on a piloting program. Fig. 11 is a view to explain the timing operation. The control program stores control information for first gathering the timepiece needles at given positions, then start a given rotation of the timepiece hands, when a counting start signal is input, and stop the rotating timepiece needles when an end of count signal is inputted. As a result, for example, the timepiece needles are collected at 0 ° as shown in the drawing on the left, and then, when the counting start signal is inputted, the timepiece hands rotate to match at the end of the time and when the end of count signal is input, the timepiece hands stop at a position of θ = 90 ° corresponding to the counting stop signal input, as shown in the drawing of right.
    The start of counting signal and the counting stop signal can be received via the communication section 48 of the electronic timepiece unit 30, or can be inputted by an operation of the section of FIG. operation 47. The counting start signal is, for example, a signal entered first after the timepiece hands have gathered at the position of θ = 0 ° by the timing operation, and the signal of Stop count is a signal entered after the count start signal has been entered.
    Timer operation to count down
    The timer operation for counting down is an operation of counting the remaining time to a target value, based on a control program. Fig. 12 is a view for explaining a timer operation for counting down. The control program stores control information for collecting the timepiece hands at the starting position of the timer, and then starting the rotation of the timepiece hands, corresponding to a case in which a starting signal timer is entered, and stop the operation when the timepiece hands are returned to the timer start position. As a result, for example, the timepiece hands are gathered at θ = 270 ° as a timer starting position, as shown in the drawing on the left, then the timepiece needles turn to the left of the clock. to correspond to the lapse of time, when the timer start signal is inputted, and the operation stops when the timepiece hands have returned to the timer start position θ = 0 ° as shown on the drawing on the right. The timer start signal can be received via the communication section 48 of the electronic timepiece unit 30, or can be input by an operation of the operation section 47 in the same manner as in the operation. timing. In other words, the timepiece controller 50 can execute different types of control corresponding to the signals input by the operation of the user, according to the types of control programs.
    FIG. 18 is a view for explaining an engine control definition table (Table T2) in an example of a timer performing a countdown. The information unit 10 transmits the command SC2 (second command) comprising variables concerning the "countdown timer" and the "countdown timer" from several SC commands via the communication section 18 (step S102) . The content of the SC2 command in this case is to execute a countdown timer with a duration of 45 seconds. The communication section 48 of the electronic timepiece unit 30 receives the command SC2. The electronic timepiece unit 30 reads the table T2 corresponding to the command SC2 for a countdown timer, as shown in FIG. 18, from the storage section 44 (step S104). After that, the processing is performed on the basis of the processing flow of FIG. 4.
    In FIG. 18, the needles to be driven are the hour hand, the minute hand and the second hand in the selection 1 used to define the starting position. The starting position is a 270 ° position. The driving frequency is the maximum speed that can be defined in the electronic timepiece unit 30, considering the motors 56, the wheel needles 58, etc. The drive counter is not defined. . For example, when the result of the detection by the needle position detector 60 is a position of 240 ° (8 hours in the hour hand, 40 minutes in the minute hand and 40 seconds in the needle of the hours). seconds), the direction of rotation is 30 ° according to the normal rotation (20 counts) and 330 ° according to an inverted rotation (220 counts), so that is chosen the normal rotation which is the direction in which the value of the counter drive is small. As an interval, "1" (ten counts in 10 Hertz) is chosen.
    According to the definition above, the motors 56 are driven to stop the hour hand 34 in a position at 9 o'clock (270 °), the minute hand 36 in a position corresponding to 45 minutes (270 °) ) and the seconds hand in a position corresponding to 45 seconds (270 °), in a state of overlap.
    Here, as "2" is mentioned as the number of the next selection, the processing of the selection 2 as the next selection is executed after the processing of the selection 1 is completed. At this point, one second is set as an interval until the next processing, so that processing on the basis of selection 2 is executed after one second has elapsed.
    Selection control data 2 which are different from the control data of the selection 1 are the starting position, the driving counter and the direction of rotation. The starting position is not fixed since the detection results of the needle position detectors are not considered. The drive counter is set to "4", and 6 ° since the movement of the needle, ie a second, is chosen. The inverted direction is retained as the direction of rotation. Therefore, the motor registers are defined and the motors are driven. Since "2" is indicated as the number of the next selection, the training is repeated. As a result, the countdown timer operation is possible such that the hour hand 34, the minute hand 36 and the second hand 38 are rotated in an inverted manner with the same behavior, at a rate of 6 ° per second.
    Operation to give the time it is
    The operation to give the time it is is an operation in which the timepiece needles indicate the time it is based on a pilot program. Fig. 13 is a view to explain the operation to give the time it is. The control program stores control information for controlling the timepiece hands to correspond to hourly information updated by the timepiece controller 50. As a result, the timepiece hands are controlled. to indicate a time of 8:10 as shown on the center drawing, from an initial position (0: 0 in the drawing on the left). In addition, a piloting program storing time hands is advanced, the timepiece hands are controlled to be advanced one hour and to indicate 9:10 as shown in the drawing on the right (the operation to advance the time of one hour).
    As described above, the electronic timepiece unit 30 controls the maneuvering of the timepiece needles using the engine control definition table, on the basis of the command received from the information unit 10. As a result, the information unit 10 can maneuver the hands of the electronic timepiece with rich variations only by selecting or setting the command. The user carrying the information unit 10 can instinctively know the notification contents by visually recognizing the variable movements of the hands.
    Here, the commands can be associated with, for example, information stored in the information unit 10. The commands are, for example, the communication radio wave intensity, the reception result of an email, the existence of an incoming call, etc. The timepiece hands of the timepiece unit 30 are actuated on the basis of transmitted commands, thus expressing information held by the information unit 10, using the timepiece hands. The user recognizes, for example, the connection between the maneuvering of the timepiece needles and the information expressed by the maneuver, in advance, so that the user can recognize information by the maneuvering of the needles of the timepiece. timepiece.
    In the first embodiment described above, the timepiece controller 50 can control the timepiece needles more freely on the basis of the control for controlling the timepiece hands independently. the time received via the communication section 48 and can operate the timepiece with a rich expression.
    Second embodiment
    [0075] Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described. Here, explanations will be made focusing on different points of the first embodiment, and explanations of functions, etc. common to the first embodiment are omitted. In the second embodiment, the electronic timepiece unit 30 requests the information unit 10 to send a command.
    FIG. 14 is an aspect view of an electronic timepiece unit 30A. Fig. 15 is a functional arrangement diagram of the electronic timepiece unit 30A. The electronic timepiece unit 30A includes a small needle operation section 49, a small needle drive section 62, a small needle 64, a small needle display section 65, calendar drive 66 and a calendar display section 68, in addition to the functional arrangement of the electronic timepiece unit 30 according to the first embodiment. The small needle operation section 49 is an operation section to which an instruction is directed to drive the small needle drive section 62. For example, when the small needle operation section 49 is pressed, the small needle driving section 62 is driven and the small needle 64 is driven. The small needle operation section 62 and the small needle 64 function as a chronograph mechanism. The calendar display section 68 operates by the training produced by the calendar training section 66, to display a date.
    The small needle drive section 62 and the calendar drive section 66 respectively have the engine control circuit, the motor, the wheel needle and the needle position sensor, of the same type. way that the needle drive sections 52.
    As these functions are the same as the functions described in the first embodiment, explanations and drawings are omitted. Note that the calendar drive section 66 has a display section position detector instead of a needle position detector. The piloting of the small needle drive section 62 and the calendar drive section 66 is controlled by the control of the timepiece controller 50.
    The storage section 44 stores a program for requesting the information unit 10 to transmit a command to execute the control program on the basis of the given conditions. In the pilot program, physical quantities for maneuvering the timepiece needles, the calendar display sections 68 or the small hand 64 are associated. The electronic timepiece unit 30 may also request the transmission of the command by implementing an installed application program. In this case, the storage section 44 stores installed application programs received via the communication section 48 or the programming interface.
    FIG. 16 is a sequence diagram showing the progress of the processing performed by the electronic timepiece system 1 according to the second embodiment. First, the timepiece controller 50 of the electronic timepiece unit 30 generates a request signal SQ requesting the information unit 10 to transmit a command (step S200) and transmits the request signal SQ generated, at the information unit 10 (step S202). The request signal SQ is generated, for example, when the timepiece controller 50 detects that the small needle operation section 49 has been pushed and maneuvered. The timepiece controller 50 may generate time intervals that are previously defined based on the program stored in the storage section 44.
    Then, the information controller 25 of the information unit 10 receives the request signal SQ via the communication section 18, generating a command SC corresponding to the received request signal SQ (step S204) and transmitting the request signal SQ. control to the electronic timepiece unit 30 (step S206). In the generation of the command, commands corresponding to the request signals may be previously associated, or random numbers may be generated and the commands corresponding to the random numbers may be transmitted by an operation input (manual input) by the user compared to the application program.
    Next, the timepiece controller 50 of the electronic timepiece unit 30 executes a control stored in the control program on the basis of the received command SC (step D208). For example, when the command SC corresponds to the control program on the basis of an array relating to the rotation operation, one or more of the timepiece needles, the small hand 64 and the display section calendar 68 run on the basis of the pilot program.
    Then, when the execution of the control program is completed, the timepiece controller 50 transmits an SA notification indicating the completion of the control program, to the information controller 25 of the control unit. information item 10 (step S210). Therefore, the processing performed by the electronic timepiece system 1 stops.
    Although the case where the rotation operation is performed by the control program has been described in the embodiment, the operations of the first embodiment can be performed. The maneuvers of the timepiece hands, the small hand 64 and the calendar display section 68 may be stored in the information unit 10 or may be stored in different ways depending on the information received. In this case, the information unit 10 previously stores associated arrays that store correspondence relationships between information and commands. For example, when the information unit 10 wishes to inform of receipt of an email, the information unit 10 transmits an order corresponding to the receipt of an email to the electronic timepiece unit. Therefore, the timepiece needles of the electronic timepiece unit 30 perform an operation corresponding to the reception of the email. As a user knows beforehand the correspondence relation between the maneuvering of the timepiece needles and the information stored in the information unit 10, the user can recognize the information stored in the information unit 10 at the same time. means of maneuvering the timepiece hands.
    The electronic timepiece unit 30 according to the second embodiment described above transmits the request signal requesting the transmission of the command to the information unit 10 and receives, on the part of the information unit 10, the command corresponding to the request signal to execute the control program corresponding to the command received, so that the timepiece needles of the device itself can be ordered voluntarily.
    Third embodiment
    In the following, a third embodiment will be described. Here, explanations will be made focusing on the different points of the first embodiment and the description of functions, etc., common to the first embodiment is omitted. In the third embodiment, the electronic timepiece unit 30 receives a command from other devices such as a smartphone 90 and a base station 92 via the information unit 10 and controls the hands. timepiece to respond to the received command.
    FIG. 17 is a view for explaining a case of receiving a command from an external device, etc. The base station 92 is connected to, for example, an NW network by means of a wire, which can communicate with other base stations connected to the NW network and with terminals. The smartphone 90 can communicate with the base station 92 and with the electronic timepiece system 1 by means of wireless communication. The smartphone 90 and the electronic timepiece system 1 communicate with each other using communication standards such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). When an order is transmitted to the smartphone 90 to the electronic timepiece system 1, the electronic timepiece unit 30 receives the command from the smartphone 90 via the information unit 10 and executes the control program. control on the basis of the table corresponding to the order received in order to maneuver the timepiece needles.
    The electronic timepiece system 1 according to the third embodiment described above receives the control of another device and controls the timepiece needles on the basis of the order received, so that versatility is increased.
    The explanation was made by making the assumption that the display unit is part of the previous embodiments, while the display unit 80 can be omitted. In addition, the explanation has been made by assuming that the display unit 80 is provided on the upper face of the electronic timepiece unit 30, while it is possible to stack the information unit 10, the display unit 80 and the electronic timepiece unit 30 in that order. In this case, an outer casing surface that the electronic timepiece unit 30 possesses is formed in a skeleton structure, which allows the user to visually recognize the information displayed by the display unit 80. In addition, the explanation has been made by making the assumption that the electronic timepiece system 1 stacks the information unit 10 and the electronic timepiece unit 30, for example , while it is possible to have the information unit 10 and the electronic timepiece unit 30 without the information unit 10 and the electronic timepiece unit 30 being stacked . It is also possible to stack the electronic timepiece unit 30, the information controller 25 and the communication section 18, or to have the electronic timepiece unit 30, the controller of the timepiece. information 25 and the communication section 18 without these being stacked. In the case where the electronic timepiece unit 30, the information controller 25 and the communication section 18 are stacked, the information controller 25 and the communication section 18 are stacked on the coin unit. electronic timepiece 30 so that the display dial 32 and the timepiece hands of the electronic timepiece unit 30 can be visually recognized by the user. For example, they may be stacked on a side surface of the electronic timepiece unit 30 or on a portion of a surface of the display dial 32 on the side.
    It is also possible to maneuver the timepiece needles to dance to music by executing a driving program. When a command corresponding to a music selected by the user is received from the information unit 10, the smartphone 90, a karaoke machine having a communication function, the timepiece hands are operated in such a way as to to dance by means of the execution of the pilot program corresponding to the command. It is also possible to maneuver the timepiece hands in such a way as to show the rhythm of a music, such as a metronome, instead of the dance movement of the timepiece hands.
    In the third embodiment described above, the timepiece controller 50 controls the timepiece hands so as to also respond to commands generated by other devices, etc., which further increases the convenience for the user.
    Embodiments of the present invention have been described above, and the present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiments and various modifications may be made within a scope that does not exit the general idea of the present invention. For example, the embodiments may be combined with one another.
    For example, it is possible to adopt an embodiment in which the first embodiment is combined with the second embodiment, an embodiment in which the first embodiment is combined with the third mode of embodiment. embodiment, an embodiment in which the first embodiment, the second embodiment and the third embodiment are combined together. In addition, it is possible to control the hands to display the time using the control and the motor control definition table. In other words, the electronic timepiece system includes the time function although the operation of hands unrelated to the time can be controlled by the command. The command SC can be defined with respect to each selection. In other words, the "next selection number" of each table T is erased and several tables including pilot data other than this data are prepared, and that the command corresponding to each table is transmitted from the unit. information 10 to the electronic timepiece unit 30.
    It is also preferable that the operating section 47 is provided, for example, in the information unit 10. The operation section 47 can be removed. The electronic timepiece unit 30 can therefore be reduced in size.
