  • Patent number: 11385600
    Abstract: A timer measurement device includes a signal output unit, an operation input unit and a processor. The processor stores ordered time settings including at least respective timer values. When an elapsed time that is measured by using a clock signal output by the signal output unit reaches a timer value of a time setting selected from the time settings, the processor resets the elapsed time, and switches the selected time setting to a next time setting among the ordered time settings. If the operation input unit receives a predetermined change command during, the measurement of the elapsed time for the timer value of the selected time setting, the processor performs, in response to the change command, a change processing which changes a remaining time with respect to the elapsed time for the timer value of the selected time setting.

  • Patent number: 11071888
    Abstract: A smartphone including a near-field communication circuit capable of performing communication with an electronic terminal; a GPS positioning unit which makes a positional measurement; and a CPU. The electronic terminal includes an acceleration sensor used to count a number of steps and measure an intensity of exercise of a user. The near-field communication circuit receives, from the electronic terminal, an exercise log indicative of the number of steps of the user. The CPU displays, on a touch panel display, a route log positioned by the GPS positioning unit and the exercise log in association with each other.

  • Patent number: 9310773
    Abstract: An analog electronic timepiece includes a stepping motor, a gear train mechanism having gears, a pointer, a drive control unit, a control content changing unit, and a pointer position adjustment unit. If an operational command to rotate the pointer to a different moving target position is obtained while an operational control for rotating the pointer to a certain moving target position is in progress, the control content changing unit terminates the control and changes a control content to an operational control according to the command. If the reverse rotation driving operation is being performed, the pointer position adjustment unit performs an adjustment operation for removing shifting between a predicted position of the pointer and an actual position of the pointer which occurs because of rotational input from the stepping motor not being transmitted to the pointer due to gaps relating to the mesh of the gears.
