摘要： Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for controlling an alarm function of a mobile device with an inertial sensor. In one example of the method, after an initial threshold value is established, an alarm occurrence is generated at a predefined hour If the alarm occurrence is the first, an alarm control unit detects a first movement of the mobile device due to the alarm occurrence through the inertial sensor, and adjusts the initial threshold value according to the first movement. If the alarm occurrence is not the first, the alarm control unit detects a second movement of the mobile device through the inertial sensor, compares the second movement with the adjusted threshold value, and stops the alarm occurrence if the second movement is greater than the adjusted threshold value.

摘要： A control circuit (131) returns the drive frequency to a prescribed drive frequency and then conducts another drive frequency variation when the reduction rate of the power source voltage is greater than the reference reduction rate; i.e., when either a piezoelectric actuator A is driven at a drive frequency with low driving efficiency and high power consumption, or the actuator cannot be started up for any reason. Therefore, the time needed to detect startup failure is not extended, startup failures and the like can be immediately determined based on the reduction rate of the power source voltage, and less time is needed to make this determination. Accordingly, the process beginning with detecting abnormalities and ending with optimizing the drive signal can be conducted rapidly, and the power consumption can be reduced to conserve energy.

摘要： A conventional electronic watch including a crystal oscillation circuit stops when the crown is pulled to set the watch because a switch is operated. Though the oscillation is retained, the watch remains at rest and consequently a small current consumption is maintained. The watch is stored also in this state. According to the invention, to save power further, a counting circuit is provided to stop crystal oscillation and frequency division after a predetermined time from the time when the crown is pulled, thereby decreasing more the current consumption by the circuit. The pulldown resistor connected to the switch is composed of two parallel transistors (Tr) having different resistances, and only the Tr having the larger resistance is made to conduct by a signal in a power-saving status so as to decrease the current. Alternatively, a circuit which memorizes the power-saving status is provided. In the power-saving status, the Tr of the pulldown resistor is turned off to stop the current. The switch is provided with an intermediate contact to erase the memory by the action of the intermediate contact driven by the push-in of the crown and thereby to allow the Tr to conduct, resulting in returning the watch to a normal operation.

摘要： An electronically controlled mechanical timepiece comprises first and second switches (121, 122) arranged between an input terminal (22a) of a capacitor (22) and output terminals (MG1, MG2) of a generator (20), a third switch (130) arranged between the output terminal (MG1) and an input terminal (22b) of the capacitor (22), and a braking circuit (55) for controlling the switches independently. When the braking circuit (55) turns off the switch (121) and turns on the switches (122, 130), current flows from the capacitor (22) to the generator (20) to produce pulses for watch-error measurement to facilitate the measurement of watch errors.

摘要： An electronic device having a plurality of motors do not cause drop of the power supply voltage and large difference in hand driving timings even when the motors are operated. When the electronic device is an electronic watch having a second motor for driving a second hand and an hour/minute hand motor for driving an hour/minute hand, and when a second auxiliary pulse signal is outputted to the second motor at the driving timing of the second hand, detection of the magnetic field around the hour/minute motor and detection of the rotation of the hour/minute motor are not performed at and after the driving timing of the hour/minute hand. An hour/minute auxiliary pulse signal is outputted to the hour/minute motor to drive the second hand and the hour/minute hand.
