42 results about "Analog watch" patented technology

An analog watch (American) or analogue watch (UK and Commonwealth) is a watch whose display is not digital but rather analog with a traditional clock face. The name is an example of a retronym; it was coined to distinguish analog watches, which had simply been called "watches", from newer digital watches. It strictly refers to the design of the display, regardless of the timekeeping technology used within the watch movement or module, although its counterpart, "digital watch", usually connotes (in most minds) digital electronics in both. A digital watch is one in which the time is displayed as a series of digits, e.g. "04:32". An analog watch is one in which the display is not digital, but is indicated (typically) by the continuous motion of one, two, or three rotating pointers or hands pointing to numbers arrayed on a circular dial (the hour hand's movement being analogous to the path of the sun across the sky).

Transparent capacitive touchscreen device overlying a mechanical component

An analog timepiece with smart watch functions is provided that has an overlay full color display and a transparent mode when the smart watch features are not in use. The transparent display mode exposes the underlying analog watch, which operates on a separate power supply then the smart watch functions and display. The analog watch may operate on a traditional winding, long life battery, solar charge, pendulum drive, or a self-winding drive based on watch motion. The smart watch functions operate on a rechargeable battery designed for frequent recharging. In a specific embodiment, recharging of the rechargeable battery may be with an induction mat. The full complement of smart watch functions provided by embodiments of the overlay smart watch display differ from existing analog digital watches that have an analog movement with a smaller digital display on the watch face to show time, dates, or a chronograph.

Compact color changing LCD watch

The present invention includes a dual display watch module comprising a watch face with selectively changing backgrounds which is capable of displaying the time of day using an analog display superimposed over the color-changing watch face thereby creating unique optical effects and patterns and which has a significantly reduced overall thickness. The invention includes a novel configuration of the internal components of the timepiece resulting in a significant reduction in the thickness of the subject timepiece, thereby enhancing the comfort of the individual wearing the timepiece. The novel configuration comprises positioning two smaller sized batteries in the same spatial plane as the PCB and analog watch movement instead of the conventional stacked assembly arrangement whereby a larger battery is placed directly behind the PCB. This allows for an overall thinner movement, thereby resulting in a significantly thinner watch without detracting from the functionality of the watch. The novel configuration of the present invention is achieved by utilizing a single micro-control unit (MCU) to drive both a core analog movement and a color-changing LCD display. Utilizing two 1.5V batteries, the present invention continuously powers the analog movement at 1.5V and steps up the voltage to 3V to intermittently power the color-changing LCD display.

Method and system for capturing analog signal cycles

The invention discloses a method for capturing analog signal cycles. The method includes the steps: scanning received analog signals and sampling signal values in real time; when the signal values exceed an upper threshold or are below a lower threshold, trigging an AWD (analog watch dog) to break off and recording the count value of a system clock when trigging the AWD to break off; when the AWD is triggered to break off due to the fact that the signal values exceed the upper threshold, setting the upper threshold to be the preset maximum upper threshold and setting the lower threshold to be the preset normal lower threshold; when the AWD is triggered to break off due to the fact that the signal values are lower than the lower threshold, setting the upper threshold to be the preset normal upper threshold, setting the lower threshold to be the preset minimum lower threshold, and returning to continue the steps before scanning and receiving analog signal cycles. The invention further discloses a system for capturing the analog signal cycles.
