An electronic alarm watch having an external operation device, which comprises a timekeeping section and an electronic calculator. The timekeeping section is composed of a quartz crystal oscillator connected to a first battery and providing a relatively high frequency signal to provide a low frequency signal, a counter circuit responsive to the low frequency signal to provide time information signals, a driver circuit providing driving signals in response to the time information signals, a time display section in response to the driving signals, an alarm time detection circuit connected to the counter circuit to detect an alarm time set by the external operation device, and an acoustic device responsive to an output from the alarm time detection circuit to generate a sound indicative of the alarm time. The electronic calculator is composed of a calculating section connected to the external operation device to perform calculation in response to input signals delivered from the external operation device, a calculator display section, and a booster circuit connected to second batteries to supply boosted output voltage to the calculating section and the calculator display section.

An electronic timepiece, used as a pager watch, has a speaker for emitting an alarm sound at a preset time and also for reproducing an external call signal intercepted by a receiver for incoming electromagnetic waves. The receiver may be maintained normally inactive, being periodically activated for short time intervals under the control of a frequency divider in the output of a crystal oscillator serving to drive an electro-optical display. Sensors responsive to abnormal ambient conditions, e.g. temperature or blood pressure of the wearer, may also operate the speaker.

An electronic timepiece with a time signalling device wherein to the time signalling device is applied an output signal with a predetermined frequency which is produced from one of a plurality of cascade connected, bistable multivibrator stages in a divider which is used for dividing a high frequency signal into a standard time signal of low frequency. Further, a plurality of output signals produced from the corresponding stage are periodically and alternately applied to the time signalling device for enhancement of the tone of the time signalling sound.

An alarm clock is provided that has a housing, one or more charging ports, an audio transducer, an alarm control device, a display, and a controller. The charging ports are mounted in a surface of the housing and provide power from a power supply to an external device. The controller receives input signals from the alarm control device and sends output signals to the audio transducer and the display. When the controller receives input signals from the alarm control device, it responds by displaying and setting a desired alarm time on the display, and by arming an alarm function. While the alarm function is armed, if a current time matches the alarm time, the controller causes the audio transducer to emit an alarm sound. When the controller receives another input signal from the alarm control device, it responds by taking the alarm time off the display, disarming the alarm function, and, if the alarm sound is being emitted, quieting the alarm sound. The alarm function remains disarmed until the controller receives yet another input signal from the alarm control device, and in response rearms the alarm function.

The present invention is an alarm clock which emits cause and effect related sounds. The alarm clock provides for a user selectable “alarm sound” such as a “duck quacking” alarm sound, and a corresponding “terminating sound” such as a “boom and splash” terminating sound so as to simulate the sound of a shotgun blast and a duck falling into water in response to terminating a “duck quacking” alarm sound. In practice, using the alarm clock a user selects an alarm sound and an alarm time and then goes to sleep or performs another function. Upon arrival of the predetermined time, the alarm sound emits from the alarm clock waking or altering the user. The user then turns the alarm off causing a terminating sound, which corresponds to the alarm sound, and more especially to a sound associated with the termination of the alarm sound, to emit from the alarm clock.

An apparatus for use with a picture therein having a subassembly, a computing functionality, sixty lights, and touch-sensitive buttons for receipt of an input. The subsassembly includes a body having a mount for releasably supporting the picture, and the sixty lights are arranged to surround the mount in a sequential order. Each of the lights, touch-sensitive buttons, and computing functionality are directly or indirectly electrically coupled to each other. The computing functionality is adapted to direct operation of the lights in accordance with a mode of light operation selected in dependence on the input received from the touch-sensitive buttons, one of which is a single light mode in which each of the sixty lights is sequentially actuated for a period of one second so that the position of the actuated light is advanced clockwise through the sequential order once each second.

An alarm system is provided that includes an alarm and a snooze system. The snooze system is operable to suspend the alarm for at least one snooze duration, wherein the length of the snooze duration is random. In some embodiments, the random snooze durations may be selected by shuffling a set of predetermined snooze durations, and in others the random snooze duration may have a minimum or maximum duration.
摘要:
A watch includes a first input for a actuating an audible announcement of the time and a second input for adjusting a volume of the announcement. The first input produces a second signal that changes an operating mode of the watch to a second operating mode in which a second parameter is adjusted by the second input. The first input is a cover or glass of the watch and the second input is a rotatable bezel.
