Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electronic watch comprising a case containing needle display means and provided with a material glass dielectric disposed in front of said needles, and manual control means comprising capacitive keys each provided with a transparent electrode arranged on the inner face of the glass and forming a first frame of a capacitive sensor whose second armature is formed by the placement of a finger of the wearer of the watch on the outer face of the glass selectively opposite at least one of the capacitive keys, the control means further comprising detection means for detecting variations in the capacity of said sensors and generate control signals in the watch accordingly.
- a watch of this kind is described for example in patent EP 674 247.
- the capacitive button control device makes it possible to replace the usual external controls such as push buttons, used to control the various functions of a watch, for example setting the time, setting and starting a chronograph or entering an operating mode particular.
- a basic idea of the present invention is to combine the two aforementioned devices in an electronic watch. Furthermore, the invention achieves this combination in a remarkably simple way.
- the invention relates to an electronic watch of the genre indicated in the preamble above, characterized in that it includes means for the capacitive position detection of at least one of the needles, on the basis of variations in capacitance between said needle and at least one of the electrodes transparent capacitive keys.
- the invention relates to an electronic watch of the genre indicated in the preamble above, characterized in that it comprises means for the capacitive position detection of at least one of the needles, said needle position detection being carried out by means of the detection device associated with capacitive keys, based on variations in capacity between said needle and at least one fixed electrode.
- each metal needle which we seek to detect the position is generally connected to a fixed potential, in particular the mass of electrical circuits of the watch, just like the wearer's finger acting on the capacitive keys, this particularly advantageous aspect of the invention consists in use the same electronic means to detect the position of the needles and the presence of the finger on a key.
- the addition of the needle position detection in a watch with capacitive keys of the type described in patent EP 674 247 can be done without substantial modification of detection electronics.
- Watch 1 shown in Figure 1 conventionally includes a waterproof case 2 comprising a metal middle 3, a bottom 4 and a crystal 5 in dielectric material, for example mineral glass, organic glass or sapphire.
- the case 2 contains an electronic clockwork movement 6, an electric battery 7 and analog display means comprising in particular a hand of the 8 minutes and a 9 hour hand which rotate within an interval defined by a flange 10 between the glass 5 and a dial 11.
- movement 6 there is shown schematically a printed circuit board 12 carrying one or more circuits integrated 13.
- the housing 2, as well as the metal needles 8 and 9 are connected to a fixed potential defined by one of the poles of the battery 7 and constituting the electrical ground 14. Note that the heights are exaggerated in Figure 1 to clarify the drawing.
- Watch 1 is equipped with a capacitive button control device based on the principles described in patent EP 674 247 and activated using a manual control member such as a pushbutton 15.
- the keys capacitive are formed by twelve transparent electrodes 21 to 32 shown at Figure 3 and fixed against the inner face of the glass 5, facing the swept area by the minute hand 8.
- the electrodes 21 to 32 are preferably formed by a layer of a conductive oxide such as ITO (Indium Tin Oxide), this layer further comprising connection tracks 34 and contact pads 35 for connect each of the electrodes to the printed circuit board 12 by means of individual conductors 36 and monolithic zebra connectors (not shown) in flange 10.
- the ranges 35 are grouped in two diametrically opposite areas of ice 5, but they could be in a single zone or in several.
- the electrodes 21 to 32 have a shape substantially trapezoidal, to cover most of the length of the minute hand 8, and they are separated by intervals 37 in the form of radial bands of constant width, substantially equal to or slightly greater than that of the needle 8.
- the intervals 37 are angularly offset by 30 ° with respect to each other and are preferably next to the traditional indexes from one hour to twelve o'clock on the dial. This allows you to accurately detect the position of the needle 8 opposite these indexes, as will be described later.
- the keys capacitive defined by electrodes 21 to 32 can be identified by names, numbers or symbols placed for example on the dial, on the glass or on the bezel of the case.
- Each of the electrodes 21 to 32 forms one of the armatures of a sensor capacitive, the other frame of which is formed by a finger 38 of the watch wearer when the wearer places this finger on the glass 5, selectively opposite the electrode concerned.
- the finger 38 is electrically connected to the ground 14 via the watch case 2.
- the placement of finger 38 on the button formed by the transparent electrode concerned creates a fairly strong increase in the capacity of the sensor concerned, compared to the parasitic capacity existing between the electrode and the housing. This variation in capacity is detected by a detection device 40 shown in FIG. 2 and incorporated in one of the circuits integrated 13 of movement 6.
- the twelve transparent electrodes 21 to 32 are connected to twelve respective terminals of an analog multiplexer 42 of the device detection 40.
- the twelve capacitive sensors are connected in parallel between the multiplexer 42 and the ground 14.
- FIG. 2 there is shown at By way of example three of these sensors designated by S1, S4 and S6 and comprising electrodes 21, 24 and 26 respectively.
- a capacitor S13 also connected between the multiplexer 42 and the ground, serves as a reference and is preferably located on the printed circuit board 12.
- the detection device 40 comprises a controlled current source 43, supplied by a reference voltage V R , a circuit 44 with amplifier and voltage limiter, a frequency detector 45 associated with a RAM memory 46, and an operating circuit 47 intended in particular to deliver control signals SC and detection signals SD.
- the frequency detector 45 and the supply circuit 47 may each comprise either a logic circuit or a microprocessor.
- Circuit 44 whose input 44a is connected to the current source 43 and to the multiplexer 42, forms an oscillator with each of the capacitive elements S1 to S13. Its construction can be of the type described in patent EP 674 247, to which the reader refer to for more details. This circuit works like a converter voltage-frequency, in other words a voltage controlled oscillator. Frequency oscillation of its SF output signal is proportional to the inverse of the capacity of that of the elements S1 to S13 which is connected to it by the multiplexer 42.
- the frequency detector 45 receives the signal SF, measures its oscillation frequency by counting the periods in a predetermined time window, and compares this measurement with a stored value which corresponds to the intrinsic capacity C 0 of the sensor considered (that is to say connected by the multiplexer 42) to determine whether the sensor is activated or not. Said intrinsic capacities have been stored in memory 46 in an initialization sequence of the detection device.
- the frequency detector 45 also controls the multiplexer 42 and the current source 43.
- the reference constituted by the capacitor S13 must make it possible on the one hand to correctly adjust the charge / discharge current i of the capacitive sensors, and on the other hand part, to measure the frequency drift of the oscillator, drift that the software of the frequency detector can then compensate.
- the value of the reference capacity must in all cases be greater than the intrinsic capacity values C 0 of the sensors S1 to S12.
- the state of the twelve sensors S1 to S12 and of the reference capacity S13 is determined sequentially by scanning using the multiplexer 42, preferably starting with the reference capacity.
- the presence of the 8 minute hand opposite one of the electrodes transparencies 21 to 32 produces an increase in the capacity of the sensor corresponding.
- this variation in capacity is much smaller, for example around five to ten times smaller than that produced by placing finger 38 on the opposite glass of the same electrode.
- the detection circuit 45 is arranged to compare these variations at predetermined thresholds, to discriminate variations in capacity caused by the needle compared to that caused by the finger. Consequently, output signals which it delivers to the operating circuit 47 indicate, on the one hand, which sensors S1 to S12 is activated and, on the other hand, if this activation is due to the finger 38 or needle 8. Consequently, the operating circuit 47 can deliver a signal SC command if the activation is due to the finger, or a detection signal SD if activation is due to the needle.
- the operating circuit 47 is arranged to signal the passage from needle 8 from one of electrodes 21 to 32 to the next, or from one of electrodes at the interval 37 separating it from the next electrode.
- the needle is generally driven step by step, this allows to accurately detect the passage of the needle at predetermined positions, from five minutes to five minutes in the this example.
- the detection circuit 45 can store in memory 46 the values measured during a scan and then compare these to the new values measured during the next scan. Like the duration of a full scan can be quite short, for example between 30 and 200 ms depending on the number of sensors, this circuit can accurately detect when the needle 8 starts to cover one of the electrodes, even if it still partially covers the electrode previous. It is thus possible to reduce the intervals 37 between electrodes and use relatively large needles, producing fairly large variations in capacity high and therefore easy to detect.
- the needle position detection that allows the device described above can be used advantageously to control the agreement between this position and the content of an electronic counter of minutes in the watch movement.
- an automatic correction will be carried out by a appropriate number of steps of the motor which drives this needle.
- the 9 hour hand is further from the electrodes transparent 21 to 32 as the minute hand 8. In this example, it presents proximity of electrodes 21 to 32 too small an area to interfere with detection position of the minute hand.
- the detection circuit 45 must then use a threshold additional predetermined to discriminate variations in capacity due the hour hand and the minute hand respectively.
- Another solution consists in detecting the position of the hour hand 9 by means of one or several fixed electrodes 51 placed on the dial 11, therefore closer to this needle than the minute hand 8.
- Each of the fixed electrodes 51 then constitutes, with needle 9, an additional capacitive sensor which can be connected to the multiplexer 42 and scanned by the detection device 40 following the sensors S1 to S12.
- the same detection device 40 is capable of signaling actuation of a capacitive key by finger 38, the position of the minutes 8 and the position of the hour hand 9.
- this hour hand detection can be combined with other forms of embodiment described below and can also be provided to detect the position of a other watch hand.
- the detection device 40 is normally inactive. It is preferably activated in two circumstances special. The first is where the wearer of the watch wishes to activate one capacitive control keys by touching the glass 5. He must first put the shows in a control mode, for example by pressing a pusher 15 or by an action on the control rod of the watch. This action gives a signal initialization SI to the operating circuit 47, which will activate the detection circuit 40 and produce the initialization sequence by the detection circuit 45. From this moment, all actuation of a capacitive key by finger 38 will be detected. The positions of needles can also be detected if necessary. The other circumstance is a periodic check of the position of the hand or hands of the watch. This control can be initialized either by the SI control described above, or by a signal specific delivered to the operating circuit 47, for example once or twice a day.
- FIG 4 shows another embodiment of an electrode transparent 61 usable in place of each of the electrodes 21 to 32 described more high, that is to say that twelve of these electrodes 61 can be provided around the periphery of the glass 5, which are separated by intervals 62 having a width substantially equal to or slightly greater than that of the 8 minute hand. Electros 61 do not cover the area swept by the hour hand 9.
- the electrode 61 is comb-shaped, with a base 63 continuing in the direction circumferential and five teeth 64 extending radially towards the center and separated by intervals 65 of the same width as the intervals 62.
- the connection electric between each electrode 61 and the electronic circuits of the watch is done in the same way as in the previous example.
- transparent electrodes it is possible to accurately detect a hundred and twenty positions of the minute hand 8, corresponding to the sixty teeth 64 and the sixty intervals 62 and 65. These positions are counted from a position of reference, defined for example by the first tooth 64 of the first of the electrodes 61.
- FIG. 5 represents another embodiment, comprising two types different transparent electrodes 70 and 71 on the inner face of the crystal 5 of the shows 1 described above.
- Each electrode 71 comprises, outside the field swept by the minute hand 8, an enlarged part 71a forming a key capacitive intended to cooperate with the wearer's finger 38 and identified for example by a symbol 72 which corresponds to the function controlled by the capacitive key.
- Each electrode 71 further comprises a narrow part 71b which extends radially between the adjacent electrodes 70 and has, like these, a strip shape.
- Each of the electrodes 70 and 71 is individually connected to the detection. They together form a circular row comprising, for example, thirty electrodes and thirty intervals 73 to detect sixty positions of needle 8.
- the arrangement transparent electrodes illustrated in Figure 5 is modified to include only a circular row of thirty strip-shaped electrodes 80 radial, without the enlarged portions 71a shown in Figure 5.
- Each key capacitive is then defined by a group 81 to 86 of several (for example two or three) 80 consecutive electrodes that can be covered together by the finger of the carrier.
- the detection device 40 is then arranged to discriminate the cases where a single electrode 80 is activated, which corresponds to the presence of needle 8 in look at that electrode, and cases where at least two (or all) of the electrodes adjacent 80 of the same group 81 to 86 are activated, which corresponds to the presence of the wearer's finger next to this group.
- the reference 88 indicates by example an area covered by the finger and in which the presence of the finger creates a variation in capacity detected in all the electrodes of group 81 and in some neighboring electrodes, but not in those of neighboring groups 82 and 86.
- the detection device 40 will detect that several or all of the electrodes in the group 81 are activated at the same time. As a result, it will mark it as a activation of the corresponding capacitive key by finger 38 (and not by the needle 8) and will deliver the control signal SC corresponding to this key.
- the operating method of the detection device 40 has two independent or simultaneous modes, which are managed by software and / or the logical arrangement of elements 45 and 47 of this device: a mode of control by capacitive keys, that the wearer of the watch voluntarily engages by means of a member such as pusher 15, and a needle detection mode which can be switched on and off automatically by the watch movement.
- the command mode can be triggered either by time delay, either by manual control.
- needle detection can be limited to a restricted region of the area traversed by the needle, for example at only one of the transparent electrodes or at a region comprising the last electrode that detected the needle and the electrodes neighbors. This limitation is operated by means of the multiplexer 42. It allows either electrical energy savings, i.e. increased measurement accuracy of the oscillation frequency by widening the counting window periods.
