TIMEPIECE CAPABLE OF INTEGRALLY INDICATING TIME AND PHYSICAL QUANTITIES

摘要

With conventional timepieces, information about target physical quantities, target achievement, and time has been indicated using separate displays, thereby making it difficult for users to instantly understand whether or not a target has been achieved. Therefore, a timepiece comprising a dual-purpose scale for integrally indicating time and physical quantities, a physical quantity information acquisition unit for obtaining the information about the physical quantities described above, a physical saving quantity information acquisition unit for obtaining physical saving quantity information indicating the physical quantity to be obtained by the current time within a time segment, a time display unit for displaying the time on the dual-purpose scale, an achieved value information acquisition unit for obtaining information on a quantity achieved up to the current time for the physical quantity, and a quantity variance display unit for indicating the variance in quantity obtained from achieved value and physical saving quantity is proposed.

1. A timepiece comprising:
a dual-purpose scale for integrally indicating a physical quantity to be controlled using information about obtained target values established for times and time segments; a physical quantity information acquisition unit for obtaining information about the physical quantity associated with time; a physical saving quantity information acquisition unit for obtaining physical saving quantity information indicating the physical quantity to be obtained by the current time within a time segment using information on average physical quantity in the form of an average resulting when target values obtained within given time segments are divided by a time segment length; a time display unit for displaying the time on the dual-purpose scale; an achieved value information acquisition unit for obtaining information on a quantity achieved up to the current time for the physical quantity controlled within a given time segment; and a quantity variance display unit for indicating the variance in quantity resulting when physical saving quantity up to the current time within a predetermined time segment is subtracted from the achieved quantity, such variance being represented by a higher value than the value for the current time when the variance is of a positive nature, and being represented by a lower value than the value for the current time when the variance is of a negative nature, under the condition that the variance is reckoned from the value for the current time shown on the dual-purpose scale.
