Abstract:
Disclosed is an electronic timepiece including a rotary switch, a rotation detection unit which detects a rotation of the rotary switch every time the rotary switch rotates for a predetermined rotation angle, a determination unit which determines as a continuous detection when a number of times the rotation detection unit detects the rotation is a predetermined number of times or greater before a preset unit time have elapsed from a detection timing, the predetermined number of times being 2 or more and a control unit which executes a predetermined function when the determination unit determines as the continuous detection.
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 printer 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.
