1478233 Electronic timepieces SUWA SEIKOSHA KK 30 April 1975 [1 May 1974] 18080/75 Heading G3T In an electronic timepiece, logic circuits return the timepiece to its normal time indicating state automatically at the end of a predetermined period after correction of time indication has been performed. Alternatively the automatic return may be following an alarm display or after displaying the time in a time zone other than that in which the timepiece is located. As shown, a crystal controlled oscillator circuit 1 is followed by frequency divider counters 2-5 which feed B, C, D signals to a decoder 6. The decoder outputs are fed to EX-OR gates EX 1 ---EX n together with a signal from an output of the divider at between 32 and 64Hz, to drive a liquid crystal display 7. Each time a function selector switch S 1 is closed flip-flops FF 3 , FF 4 change state and their outputs Q 3 , Q 4 change, successively enabling AND gates A 1 to A 3 to pass a signal from a switch S 2 when closed. The fourth time S 1 is closed the said flipflops return to the initial state wherein normal timekeeping and displaying is resumed. In state 1 of FF 3 , FF 4 , gate A 1 passes the signal from S 2 to reset the dividers 2, 3 thereby resetting the seconds indication to zero. In state 2, gate A 2 passes the signal via an EX-OR gate EX 1 ' to an input I 4 of divider section 4, to advance the minutes indication by unity. Repeated operation of S 2 thus enables correction of the minutes indication. In state 3, gate A3 passes the signals, due to repeated operation of S 2 , to an input Is of divider section 5 via EX 2 ', to correct the hours indication. The states of flip-flops FF 1 , FF 2 are changed by a 1/60 Hzisignal from divider section 3. One or two minutes after the last operation of S 1 , an output Q 2 becomes logic "1" and flip-flops FF 3 , FF 4 are reset to zero. Thus whatever the states of FF 3 , FF 4 after correction of the time indication they always return automatically to state O, i.e. the normal running state, one or two minutes thereafter. |
