[First Embodiment]
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The clock board and the pointer (object) of the clock device may be an image displayed on the screen of the display device or a physical mechanism. In the first embodiment, the clock board and the hands will be described as images displayed on the screen of the display device (display unit).

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a timepiece system. The timepiece system includes a timepiece device 100a, a communication device 200, and a storage device 300. This clock system is provided in an information terminal, for example.

  The communication device 200 receives the image information of the timepiece from another device (not shown), and stores the received image information of the timepiece in the storage device 300. In addition, the communication device 200 receives image information of a pointer (for example, hour hand, minute hand, and second hand) from another device (not shown) and causes the storage device 300 to store the received image information of the pointer. The communication device 200 may be provided in the timepiece device 100a. Further, the communication device 200 may store a predetermined clock program (for example, an application such as a screen saver) executed by the clock device 100a in the storage device 300.

  The storage device 300 stores the clock board image information received by the communication device 200 and the pointer image information received by the communication device 200. The storage device 300 outputs the timepiece image information and the pointer image information to the timepiece device 100a in response to a request from the timepiece device 100a. Note that the storage device 300 may store in advance the image information of the clock face and the image information of the hands. The storage device 300 may be included in the timepiece device 100a. The storage device 300 may store a predetermined clock program (application) executed by the clock device 100a.

  The timepiece device 100a includes a timer unit 110, a processing unit 120, and a display unit 130a. The time measuring unit 110 outputs time information to the processing unit 120 at a predetermined cycle. Here, it is assumed that the position (rotation angle) of the pointer on the timepiece is previously associated with the time information.

  The processing unit 120 acquires from the storage device 300 the image information of the clock face and the image information of the hands having intermediate colors. Here, the intermediate color is an intermediate color based on the color of adjacent lines constituting the striped pattern. The processing unit 120 moves the pointer by image processing to a position (rotation angle) previously associated with the time information so that the pointer passes a striped pattern (described later) drawn on the clock board.

  Specifically, the processing unit 120 performs image processing for displaying a clock face image and image processing for displaying a pointer image at a position (rotation angle) previously associated with time information. To do. Here, the processing unit 120 does not perform image processing for moving the hands so that the hands are intermittently bounced, and as the image processing, the hands are smoothed with a striped pattern (described later) drawn on the clock board. The pointer is moved according to the time information so as to pass.

  The display unit 130a displays a clock face image and a pointer image having an intermediate color based on the image processing result by the processing unit 120. Here, since the processing unit 120 executes image processing so that the hands are moved smoothly, the display unit 130a displays the hands that pass smoothly through the striped pattern of the clock as display processing. Become.

Next, the illusion will be described.
FIG. 2 shows the relationship between intermediate colors and optical illusions. A striped pattern is drawn on the clock face displayed on the display unit 130a (see FIG. 1). The pointer having the intermediate color is smoothly moved by the processing unit 120 so as to pass the striped pattern drawn on the watch face. As a result, at least one of the kickback illusion, the Earthworms Illusion, the footsteps illusion, and the inchworm illusion (Inchworms Illusion) is an observation of watching the clock board. It will be perceived by the person.

  Here, the kickback illusion is an illusion in which the observer perceives the movement of the object bounced back in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the object (for example, a pointer). For example, the movement of the pointer slightly bounced counterclockwise by the striped line drawn on the clock board may be perceived by the observer as a kickback illusion.

  In addition, the earth worm illusion is that the object is stretched and contracted in the same direction as the moving direction of the object together with the movement of the object bounced back in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the object (for example, the pointer). Movement is an illusion perceived by the observer. For example, the movement of the pointer slightly bounced counterclockwise by the striped line drawn on the clock face and slightly expanded or contracted clockwise may be perceived by the observer as the Earthworm illusion. .

  Further, the footstep illusion is an illusion in which the observer perceives the movement of the object intermittently in the same direction as the moving direction of the object. For example, the movement of the pointer that is intermittently moved clockwise by a striped line drawn on the clock board may be perceived by the observer as a footstep illusion.

  The inchworm illusion is an illusion in which the observer perceives the movement of the object in the same direction as the moving direction of the object. For example, the movement of the pointer that is expanded or contracted clockwise by a striped line drawn on the clock board may be perceived by the observer as an inchworm illusion.

  Hereinafter, it is assumed that the color value a of one adjacent line constituting the striped pattern is a lower limit color value. Further, the color value b of the other adjacent line constituting the striped pattern is an upper limit color value. The lower limit color value a (for example, value 0) indicates a predetermined color (for example, black, red, blue, or green). The upper limit color value b (for example, value 255) indicates another predetermined color (for example, white).

In the following, it is assumed that the lower limit color value a is, for example, a value 0 indicating black. Further, the upper limit color value b is, for example, a value 255 indicating white. In this case, the pointer has an intermediate color between white and black, that is, gray. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the color values have a magnitude relationship of “a <p ₂ ≦ p ₁ <q ₂ ≦ q ₁ <r ₂ ≦ r ₁ <b”.

For example, “a = 0, p ₂ = 70, p ₁ = 100, q ₂ = 180, q ₁ = 210, r ₂ = 200, r ₁ = 230, b = 255”. Note that the color values of the lower limit value a and the upper limit value b may be determined in advance based on a predetermined image standard. In addition, color values other than the lower limit value a and the upper limit value b may be obtained experimentally.

When the pointer overlaps both adjacent lines constituting the striped pattern and the intermediate color value c of the pointer is in the range of “a ≦ c ≦ p ₁ ”, the line of the striped pattern has the color value a. The footstep illusion due to the approached pointer is perceived by the observer.

Further, when the pointer overlaps both adjacent lines constituting the stripe pattern and the color value c of the intermediate color of the pointer is in the range of “p ₂ ≦ c ≦ q ₁ ”, the stripe pattern color value a The observer will perceive the kickback illusion based on the pointer reaching the line. When the color value c is within the range of 30% of the absolute value of “p ₂ −q ₁ ” centering on the color value of “(p ₂ + q ₁ ) / 2”, the color value “(p ₂ + q ₁ )” This range around “/ 2” is particularly preferable from the viewpoint that the kickback illusion is perceived remarkably by the observer. When the intermediate color value c of the pointer is in the range of “p ₂ ≦ c ≦ p ₁ ”, at least one of the kickback illusion and the footstep illusion is perceived by the observer. Furthermore, at least one of the inchworm illusion and the earthworm illusion may be perceived by the observer.

In addition, when the pointer overlaps both adjacent lines constituting the striped pattern and the color value c of the intermediate color of the pointer is in the range of “q ₂ ≦ c ≦ r ₁ ”, the striped pattern color value b The observer will perceive the kickback illusion based on the pointer reaching the line. When the color value c is within the range of 30% of the absolute value of “p ₂ −r ₁ ” with the color value “(q ₂ + r ₁ ) / 2” as the center, the color value “(q ₂ + r ₁ )” This range around “/ 2” is particularly preferable from the viewpoint that the kickback illusion is perceived remarkably by the observer. When the intermediate color value c of the pointer is in the range of “q ₂ ≦ c ≦ q ₁ ”, at least one of the kickback illusion and the footstep illusion is perceived by the observer. Furthermore, at least one of the inchworm illusion and the earthworm illusion may be perceived by the observer.

In addition, when the pointer overlaps both adjacent lines constituting the stripe pattern and the color value c of the intermediate color of the pointer is in the range of “r ₂ ≦ c ≦ b”, the color value b of the stripe pattern An observer perceives a footstep illusion caused by a pointer approaching the line. When the intermediate color value c of the pointer is in the range of “r ₂ ≦ c ≦ r ₁ ”, at least one of the kickback illusion and the footstep illusion is perceived by the observer. Furthermore, at least one of the inchworm illusion and the earthworm illusion may be perceived by the observer.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the dimension of the pointer that overlaps both adjacent lines constituting the stripe pattern. In FIG. 3, the pointer 810 overlaps both the adjacent black line and white line forming the striped pattern. That is, the pointer 810 displayed on the display unit 130a (see FIG. 1) overwrites both the black line with the color value a and the white line with the color value b. x is a code indicating the width of the pointer 810. ω is a code indicating the line width of the striped pattern 800. Hereinafter, the description will be continued assuming that the black line having the color value a of the stripe pattern 800 and the white line having the color value b of the stripe pattern 800 have the same width ω.

The width x of the pointer 810 is an even multiple of the line width ω of the striped pattern 800. Here, at least a part of the pointer 810 may be an even multiple of the line width ω of the striped pattern 800.

The width x of the pointer 810 is more preferably within a range of plus or minus 15% of an even multiple of the width ω of each stripe of the striped pattern 800, and particularly preferably an even multiple.

In FIG. 4, the pointer 810 and the pointer 820 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the line of the striped pattern 800. In addition, it is assumed that the pointer 810 and the pointer 820 are smoothly moved in the right direction perpendicular to the line of the stripe pattern 800 so as to pass through the stripe pattern 800. Here, the color of the pointer 810 has a color value c in the range of “p ₂ ≦ c ≦ q ₁ ” (see FIG. 2). On the other hand, the color of the pointer 820 has a color value c in the range of “q ₂ ≦ c ≦ r ₁ ” (see FIG. 2).

From the viewpoint that the kickback illusion is likely to occur, the color of the pointer 810 preferably has a color value c in the range of “p ₁ ≦ c ≦ q ₂ ”. Centering on the color value of “(p ₁ + q ₂ ) / 2”, when the color value c is within the range of 30% of the absolute value of “p ₁ −q ₂ ”, the color value “(p ₁ + q ₂ )” This range around “/ 2” is particularly preferable from the viewpoint that the kickback illusion is perceived remarkably by the observer. On the other hand, the color of the pointer 820 is preferably such that the color value c is in the range of “q ₁ ≦ c ≦ r ₂ ”. Centering on the color value of “(q ₁ + r ₂ ) / 2”, when the color value c is within the range of 30% of the absolute value of “q ₁ -r ₂ ”, the color value “(q ₁ + r ₂ )” This range around “/ 2” is particularly preferable from the viewpoint that the kickback illusion is perceived remarkably by the observer.

  In FIG. 4A, the right end of the pointer 810 is confused with the black line of the striped pattern 800 and is difficult to identify, while the left end of the pointer 810 is not confused with the white line of the striped pattern 800 and can be easily identified. Become. Thereby, the observer perceives the kickback illusion caused by the pointer 810 reaching the black line of the color value a.

  In FIG. 4B, the right end of the pointer 820 is confused with the white line of the striped pattern 800 and is difficult to identify, while the left end of the pointer 820 is not confused with the black line of the striped pattern 800 and can be easily identified. Become. Thus, the observer perceives the kickback illusion caused by the pointer 820 reaching the white line of the color value b.

  FIG. 5 schematically shows an earth worm illusion with a pointer that overlaps both adjacent lines constituting the striped pattern. In FIG. 5, the pointer 810 and the pointer 820 have the same shape. The width x of the pointer 810 is an odd multiple of the line width ω of the striped pattern 800. Here, at least a part of the pointer 810 may be an odd multiple of the line width ω of the striped pattern 800.

  From the viewpoint that the earthworm illusion is likely to occur, the width x of the pointer 810 is preferably within a range of plus or minus 30%, which is an odd multiple of the width ω of one stripe of the striped pattern 800. Further, the width x of the pointer 810 is more preferably within a range of plus or minus 15% of an odd multiple of the width ω of one stripe of the striped pattern 800, and particularly preferably an odd multiple.

In FIG. 5, the pointer 810 and the pointer 820 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the line of the striped pattern 800. In addition, it is assumed that the pointer 810 and the pointer 820 are smoothly moved in the right direction perpendicular to the line of the stripe pattern 800 so as to pass through the stripe pattern 800. Here, the color of the pointer 810 has a color value c in the range of “p ₂ ≦ c ≦ q ₁ ” (see FIG. 2). On the other hand, the color of the pointer 820 has a color value c in the range of “q ₂ ≦ c ≦ r ₁ ” (see FIG. 2).

From the viewpoint that the Earthworm illusion is likely to occur, the color of the pointer 810 preferably has a color value c in the range of “p ₁ ≦ c ≦ q ₂ ”. Centering on the color value of “(p ₁ + q ₂ ) / 2”, when the color value c is within the range of 30% of the absolute value of “p ₁ −q ₂ ”, the color value “(p ₁ + q ₂ )” Within this range centering on “/ 2”, the earth worm illusion is particularly preferable from the viewpoint of being perceived by the observer. On the other hand, the color of the pointer 820 is preferably such that the color value c is in the range of “q ₁ ≦ c ≦ r ₂ ”. Centering on the color value of “(q ₁ + r ₂ ) / 2”, when the color value c is within the range of 30% of the absolute value of “q ₁ -r ₂ ”, the color value “(q ₁ + r ₂ )” Within this range centering on “/ 2”, the earth worm illusion is particularly preferable from the viewpoint of being perceived by the observer.

  In FIG. 5A, the right end of the pointer 810 is confused with the black line of the striped pattern 800, making identification difficult, while the left end of the pointer 810 is also confused with the other black line of the striped pattern 800 for identification. It becomes difficult. As a result, the earth worm illusion caused by the pointer 810 reaching the black line of the color value a is perceived by the observer.

  In FIG. 5B, the right end of the pointer 820 is confused with the white line of the striped pattern 800 and is difficult to identify, while the left end of the pointer 820 is also confused with the other white line of the striped pattern 800 and difficult to identify. . Thus, the observer perceives the earth worm illusion caused by the pointer 820 reaching the white line of the color value b.

In FIG. 6, an illusion with a pointer that overlaps both adjacent lines constituting a striped pattern is shown in a table for each color value. When the width of the pointer is an even multiple of the width of the striped line and the color value c of the color of the pointer is in the range of “a ≦ c ≦ p ₁ ”, the black line of the color value a has been reached.

The observer recognizes the inchworm illusion caused by the pointer.

Next, an example of a clock board and hands will be described.
In the following, as an example, the description is continued on the assumption that the pointer overlaps both adjacent lines (black line and white line) constituting the striped pattern (see, for example, FIG. 3).

  FIG. 9 schematically shows the kickback illusion or earth worm illusion according to the first example of the watch face and the pointer. FIG. 9 shows a radial stripe pattern 510 drawn on the watch face and a thin fan-shaped pointer 511 drawn on the watch face as a first example of the watch face and hands. The display unit 130a (see FIG. 1) displays a striped pattern 510 and a pointer 511.

  The striped pattern 510 is a striped pattern composed of a plurality of lines extending radially from a predetermined point (for example, the center of the watch face), and is equally spaced on a circumference centered on the predetermined point. It is a striped pattern consisting of a plurality of drawn lines. Here, the stripe pattern 510 may be drawn on the entire watch face, or may be drawn on a part of the watch face. Hereinafter, the description will be continued assuming that the predetermined point is the center of the clock face.

  In FIG. 9A, the pointer 511 points to the 12 o'clock position. The processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the pointer 511 having an intermediate color clockwise with the center of the clock face as the rotation center. Specifically, the pointer 511 rotates in the order shown in FIGS. 9B to 9F so as to pass through the striped pattern 510.

  As a result, the observer perceives the kickback illusion caused by the pointer 511 according to the width of the line of the stripe pattern 510 and the width of the pointer 511. For example, when the pointer 511 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer 511 so that it is rebounded every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 511 so that it is rebounded every second. The viewer can perceive it as if

  Further, the observer may perceive the earth worm illusion caused by the pointer 511 according to the width of the pointer 511. For example, when the pointer 511 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 expands and contracts while being rebounded every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 511 while expanding and contracting while rebounding every second. Thus, the observer can perceive as if the pointer 511 is moved.

  FIG. 10 schematically shows the footstep illusion according to the second example of the watch panel and the hands. FIG. 10 shows a radial stripe pattern 520 drawn on the watch face and a thin fan-shaped pointer 521 drawn on the watch face as a second example of the watch face and hands. The display unit 130a (see FIG. 1) displays a striped pattern 520 and a pointer 521.

  The striped pattern 520 is a striped pattern composed of a plurality of lines extending radially from the center of the watch face, and is formed from a plurality of lines drawn at equal intervals on the circumference centered on the center of the watch face. It becomes a striped pattern. Here, the stripe pattern 520 may be drawn on the entire watch face, or may be drawn on a part of the watch face.

  The lines constituting the striped pattern 520 cause a part having a width to perceive the footstep illusion, a part having a width to perceive the inchworm illusion, a part having a width to perceive the kickback illusion, or the earth worm illusion. A portion having a width is mixed in one watch face.

  In FIG. 10, as an example, adjacent lines from the 1:30 position to the 4:30 position have the same intermediate color and white color as the pointer 521. The line from the 1:30 position to the 4:30 position has a width that allows the footstep illusion to be perceived.

  Adjacent lines from the position past 4:30 to the position 7:30 have the same intermediate color and white color as the pointer 521. Also, the line from the 4:30 position to the 7:30 position has a width that allows the inchworm illusion to be perceived.

  Moreover, the adjacent line from the position after 7:30 to the position at 10:30 has black and white. Further, the line from the position after 7:30 to the position at 10:30 has a width that allows the kickback illusion or the earthworm illusion to be perceived.

  In FIG. 10A, the pointer 521 points to the 12 o'clock position. The processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the pointer 521 having an intermediate color clockwise with the center of the clock face as the center of rotation. Specifically, the pointer 521 rotates in the order shown in FIGS. 10B to 10F so as to pass through the striped pattern 520 from the position of 1:30 to the position of 4:30.

  As a result, the observer perceives the footstep illusion caused by the pointer 521 in accordance with the line width of the striped pattern 520 and the width of the pointer 521. For example, when the pointer 521 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 does not perform image processing for moving the pointer 521 every second, so that the observer moves the pointer 521 every second. Can be perceived.

  FIG. 11 schematically shows an inchworm illusion based on a second example of a watch panel and hands (see FIG. 10). For example, the processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the pointer 521 having an intermediate color in the clockwise direction with the center of the clock face as the center of rotation. Specifically, the pointer 521 rotates in the order shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C so as to pass the striped pattern 520 from the position after 4:30 to the position at 7:30.

  Thereby, the observer perceives the inchworm illusion caused by the pointer 521 according to the width of the line of the striped pattern 520 and the width of the pointer 521. For example, when the pointer 521 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer 521 while expanding and contracting every second without executing image processing for moving the pointer 521 while expanding and contracting every second. The viewer can perceive it as if

  FIG. 12 schematically shows a kickback illusion or an earth worm illusion based on a second example of a watch panel and hands (see FIG. 10). For example, the processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the pointer 521 having an intermediate color in the clockwise direction with the center of the clock face as the center of rotation. Specifically, the pointer 521 rotates in the order shown in FIGS. 12A to 12G so as to pass through the striped pattern 520 from a position after 7:30 to a position at 10:30.

  As a result, the observer perceives the kickback illusion caused by the pointer 521 according to the width of the line of the striped pattern 520 and the width of the pointer 521. For example, when the pointer 521 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer 521 so that it is rebounded every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 521 so that it is rebounded every second. The viewer can perceive it as if

  Further, the observer will perceive the earth worm illusion caused by the pointer 521 according to the width of the line of the striped pattern 520 and the width of the pointer 521. For example, when the pointer 521 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 expands and contracts while being rebounded every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 521 while expanding and contracting while rebounding every second. Thus, the observer can perceive as if the pointer 521 is moved.

  FIG. 13 schematically shows the kickback illusion or earth worm illusion according to the third example of the watch face and the pointer. The striped pattern 530 is a striped pattern having a mountain-shaped white region in part. Here, the stripe pattern 530 may be drawn on the entire watch face, or may be drawn on a part of the watch face. The pointer 531 has an intermediate color and has a convex portion in its shape. The display unit 130a (see FIG. 1) displays a striped pattern 530 and a pointer 531. A plurality of pointers 531 may be provided.

  The processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the pointer 531 in the right direction orthogonal to the line of the striped pattern 530. Specifically, the pointer 531 moves in the order shown in FIGS. 13A to 13C so as to pass through the striped pattern 530.

  Thus, the observer perceives the kickback illusion caused by the pointer 531 according to the width of the line of the striped pattern 530 and the width of the pointer 531. For example, when the pointer 531 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer 531 so that it is rebounded every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 531 so that it is rebounded every second. The viewer can perceive it as if

  Further, the observer will perceive the earth worm illusion caused by the pointer 531 according to the width of the line of the striped pattern 530 and the width of the pointer 531. For example, when the pointer 531 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer 531 while expanding and contracting every second without executing image processing for moving the pointer 531 while expanding and contracting every second. The viewer can perceive it as if

  FIG. 14 schematically shows the kickback illusion or earth worm illusion according to the fourth example of the watch face and the pointer. Similar to FIG. 13, the striped pattern 530 is a striped pattern having a mountain-shaped white region in part. Here, the stripe pattern 530 may be drawn on the entire watch face, or may be drawn on a part of the watch face. The pointer 531-n (n is a code | symbol 1-3) has an intermediate color similarly to FIG. 13, and has a convex part in the shape. The display unit 130a (see FIG. 1) displays a striped pattern 530 and pointers 531-1 to 531-3.

  The processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the pointers 531-1 to 531-3 in a diagonally upward right direction that is not orthogonal to the line of the striped pattern 530. Specifically, the hands 531-1 to 531-3 move at a constant speed on a straight line in the diagonally upward direction to the right in the order shown in FIGS. 14A to 14D so as to pass through the striped pattern 530. .

  As a result, the observer has a kickback illusion with the pointers 531-1 to 531-3 depending on the line width of the stripe pattern 530 and the widths of the pointers 531-1 to 531-3. It will be perceived in a direction orthogonal to the 530 line. For example, when the hands 531-1 to 531-3 are second hands, the processing unit 120 executes image processing for moving the hands 531-1 to 531-3 so that the hands are bounced every second. The observer can perceive as if the pointers 531-1 to 531-3 are moved so as to be rebounded every second.

  In addition, to the observer, the earth worm illusion with the pointers 531-1 to 531-3 has a striped pattern 530 depending on the line width of the striped pattern 530 and the width of each of the pointers 531-1 to 531-3. Will be perceived in a direction perpendicular to the line. For example, when the pointer 531 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 does not perform image processing for moving the pointers 531-1 to 531-3 while expanding and contracting while being bounced every second. It is possible to make the observer perceive as if the pointers 531-1 to 531-3 are being moved while being bounced back and forth.

  FIG. 15 shows a fifth example of the watch panel and hands. As a fifth example of the timepiece and the pointer, a radial stripe pattern 410a, a pointer 420 having an intermediate color, and a rotation center 400 are shown. The processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the pointer 420 around the rotation center 400 so as to pass through the radial stripe pattern 410a. The display unit 130a (see FIG. 1) displays a striped pattern 410a and a pointer 420.

  Thereby, the observer perceives the kickback illusion caused by the pointer 420 according to the width of the pointer 420. For example, when the pointer 420 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer 420 so that it is rebounded every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 420 so that it is rebounded every second. The viewer can perceive it as if

  Further, the observer may perceive the earth worm illusion caused by the pointer 420 according to the width of the pointer 420. For example, when the pointer 420 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 expands and contracts while being bounced every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 420 while expanding and contracting while being bounced every second. It is possible to make the observer perceive as if the pointer 420 is being moved.

  FIG. 16 shows a sixth example of the timepiece and the hands. As a sixth example of the clock face and the pointer, a radial stripe pattern 430 and a stripe pattern 431 drawn on the clock board, a pointer 440 having an intermediate color, and a rotation center 400 are shown. Here, the stripe pattern 430 and the stripe pattern 431 may have different line widths. The processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the pointer 440 with the rotation center 400 as the rotation center so as to pass through the radial stripe pattern 430 and the stripe pattern 431. The display unit 130a (see FIG. 1) displays the striped pattern 430 and the striped pattern 431, the rotation center 400, and the pointer 440.

  Accordingly, the observer perceives the kickback illusion caused by the pointer 440 according to the widths of the lines of the striped pattern 430 and the striped pattern 431 and the width of the pointer 440. For example, when the pointer 440 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer 440 while expanding and contracting every second without executing image processing for moving the pointer 440 while expanding and contracting every second. The viewer can perceive it as if

  In addition, the observer perceives the earth worm illusion caused by the pointer 440 according to the widths of the stripes 430 and 431 and the width of the pointer 440. For example, when the pointer 440 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 expands and contracts while being rebounded every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 440 while expanding and contracting while being rebounded every second. The observer can perceive as if the pointer 440 is being moved.

  FIG. 17 shows a seventh example of the timepiece and the hands. As a seventh example of the timepiece and the pointer, a radial stripe pattern 450 and a stripe pattern 451 drawn on the timepiece, a pointer 460 having an intermediate color, and a rotation center 400 are shown.

  In FIG. 17, the stripe pattern is a plurality of circular rings divided by a plurality of concentric circles sharing a predetermined point and a radial straight line extending from the predetermined point, and two stripes are arranged in the circumferential direction of the concentric circle. It is a pattern (a check pattern-like striped pattern) that is colored at a predetermined interval by the above colors. Further, the processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the pointer around the predetermined point as the rotation center. In addition, the check pattern-like striped pattern may be a striped pattern (check pattern striped pattern) arranged at equal intervals as the predetermined interval. Here, the check stripe pattern 450 and the check stripe pattern 451 may have different line widths.

  As a result, the observer perceives the kickback illusion caused by the pointer 460 according to the width of the pointer 460. For example, when the pointer 460 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer 460 so that it is rebounded every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 460 so that it is rebounded every second. The viewer can perceive it as if

  Further, the observer will perceive the earth worm illusion caused by the pointer 460 according to the width of the pointer 460. For example, when the pointer 460 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 expands and contracts while being bounced every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 460 while expanding and contracting while being bounced every second. The observer can perceive as if the pointer 460 is being moved.

  FIG. 18 shows an eighth example of a watch panel and hands. As an eighth example of the timepiece and the pointer, a radial stripe pattern 470 and a stripe pattern 471 drawn on the timepiece, a pointer 480 having an intermediate color, and a rotation center 400 are shown. Here, the stripe pattern 470 and the stripe pattern 471 may have different line widths. The processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the pointer 480 with the rotation center 400 as the rotation center so as to pass through the radial stripe pattern 470 and the stripe pattern 471. The display unit 130a (see FIG. 1) displays a striped pattern 470, a striped pattern 471, a rotation center 400, and a pointer 480.

  Thereby, the observer perceives the kickback illusion caused by the pointer 480 according to the width of the pointer 480. For example, when the pointer 480 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer 480 so that it is rebounded every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 480 so that it is rebounded every second. The viewer can perceive it as if

  In addition, the observer may perceive the earth worm illusion caused by the pointer 480 according to the width of the pointer 480. For example, when the pointer 480 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 expands and contracts while being rebounded every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 480 while expanding and contracting while being rebounded every second. It is possible to make the observer perceive as if the pointer 480 is being moved.

  FIG. 19 shows a ninth example of the watch panel and hands. As a ninth example of the timepiece and the pointer, a spiral striped pattern 490 drawn on the timepiece, a pointer 500 having an intermediate color, and a rotation center 400 are shown. The processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the pointer 500 around the rotation center 400 so as to pass through the spiral stripe pattern 490. The display unit 130a (see FIG. 1) displays a spiral stripe pattern 490, a pointer 500 having an intermediate color, and a rotation center 400.

  The spiral striped pattern 490 is a striped pattern composed of a plurality of logarithmic spirals spirally extending from the rotation center 400, and a plurality of spiral stripes 490 drawn at equal intervals on the circumference centering on the rotation center 400. It is a striped pattern consisting of logarithmic spirals. Here, the spiral striped pattern 490 may be a striped pattern in which logarithmic spirals do not intersect with each other, or may be a striped pattern in which logarithmic spirals intersect each other.

  As a result, the observer perceives the kickback illusion based on the pointer 500. For example, when the pointer 500 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer 500 so that it is rebounded every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 500 so that it is rebounded every second. The viewer can perceive it as if

  In addition, the observer may perceive the earth worm illusion caused by the pointer 500 according to the width of the pointer 500. For example, when the pointer 500 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 expands and contracts while being bounced every second without performing image processing for moving the pointer 500 while expanding and contracting while being bounced every second. It is possible to make the observer perceive as if the pointer 500 is being moved.

  FIG. 20 shows a tenth example of a watch panel and hands. As a tenth example of the watch panel and hands, a lattice-like striped pattern 630 drawn on the watch board, hands 600 and hands 610 are shown. The processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the striped pattern 630 so that the lattice-shaped striped pattern 630 drawn on the display unit 130a of the timepiece device 100a passes through the pointer 600 and the pointer 610 having intermediate colors. .

  In FIG. 20, the processing unit 120 moves the striped pattern 630 in the lower left direction. Here, the pointer 600 has a line segment parallel to the straight line constituting the lattice-like striped pattern 630. The processing unit 120 moves at least one of the pointer 600 and the grid-like striped pattern 630 so that the line segment passes parallel to the straight line.

  As a result, the observer has at least one of the kickback illusion, the earth worm illusion, the footstep illusion, and the inch worm illusion by the pointer 600 and the pointer 610, the line width of the striped pattern 630, the pointer 600 and the pointer. Depending on the respective width of 610, it will be perceived.

  More specifically, it looks to the observer as if the hands 600 and 610 are wavy and change their shape and size (as if the wheels of the shape of the hands 600 and 610 are rotating). In addition, for example, when the hands 600 and 610 are second hands, the processing unit 120 does not perform a movement process for moving the hands 600 and 610 so that it is rebounded every second, but every second. The observer can perceive as if the pointer 600 and the pointer 610 are moved so as to be rebounded.

  FIG. 21 shows an eleventh example of the timepiece and the hands. As an eleventh example of the timepiece and the pointer, a lattice-like striped pattern 710 drawn on the timepiece and a pointer 700 having a convex portion in the shape are shown. The processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) moves the hands 700 so that the hands 700 having an intermediate color pass through the lattice-like striped pattern 710 drawn on the display unit 130a of the timepiece device 100a.

  In FIG. 21, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer 700 in the plane direction (two-dimensional direction). Here, the pointer 700 has a line segment parallel to a straight line constituting the lattice-like striped pattern 710. The processing unit 120 moves at least one of the pointer 700 and the grid-like striped pattern 710 so that the line segment passes parallel to the straight line.

  As a result, the observer has at least one of the kickback illusion, the earthworm illusion, the footstep illusion, and the inchworm illusion with the pointer 700 depending on the width of the line of the striped pattern 710 and the width of the pointer 700. Will be perceived.

  More specifically, to the observer, the pointer 700 appears to change its shape and size as it swells (as if the bat in the shape of the pointer 700 is flapping). Further, for example, when the pointer 700 is a second hand, the processing unit 120 does not perform a movement process for moving the pointer 700 so that it is rebounded every second, but is rebounded every second. It is possible to make the observer perceive as if they are moving.

Next, an example of the operation procedure of the timepiece device will be described.
FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the timepiece device.
(Step S <b> 1) The processing unit 120 (see FIG. 1) acquires time information from the time measuring unit 110.
(Step S <b> 2) The processing unit 120 acquires the image information of the clock board and the image information of the hands from the storage device 300.

(Step S <b> 3) The processing unit 120 has a position (rotation angle) associated with time in advance (for example, a position where the number “12” is drawn) so that the hands pass through the striped pattern drawn on the clock face. The pointer is moved by image processing until (rotation angle)). Here, as the image processing, the processing unit 120 moves the hands according to the time information so that the hands pass smoothly through the striped pattern drawn on the clock board.
(Step S4) The processing unit 120 displays the image processing result on the display unit 130a (see FIG. 1).

As described above, the timepiece device 100a moves the pointer (for example, the pointer 810) having an intermediate color based on the color of the striped pattern so as to pass the striped pattern (for example, the striped pattern 800) drawn on the clock face. The width | variety of the part which is provided with the process part 120 and passes a striped pattern among the width | variety of a pointer | guide_line is more than the width | variety of the line of a striped pattern.
In addition, the clock program may pass the striped pattern drawn on the clock panel to the computer of the clock device in which the width of the pointer passing through the striped pattern is equal to or larger than the width of the striped line. Then, a procedure for moving a pointer having an intermediate color based on the color of the stripe pattern is executed.

With this configuration, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer so as to pass the striped pattern drawn on the clock board.
Thereby, the timepiece device 100a and the timepiece program can make the observer perceive that the hands move differently from the true movement of the hands.

  (I) The timepiece device 100a and the timepiece program move the hands so that they are intermittently bounced without the display processing or moving mechanism for moving the hands so that they are intermittently bounced. Can be perceived by an observer (kickback illusion).

  (Ii) The timepiece device 100a and the timepiece program are combined with an operation that is intermittently rebounded even if there is no display processing or an expansion / contraction mechanism for moving the pointer while expanding and contracting together with an operation that is intermittently rebounded. The observer can perceive as if moving the pointer while expanding and contracting (earth worm illusion).

  The timepiece device 100a and the timepiece program are preferable as providing at least one of the kickback illusion and the earthworm illusion, and particularly preferable as providing the kickback illusion.

  (Iii) The timepiece device 100a and the timepiece program allow the observer to perceive movement even when there is no display processing or movement mechanism for moving the pointer so that it is moved intermittently. (Footstep illusion).

  (Iv) The timepiece device 100a and the timepiece program allow the observer to move the pointer so that it can be expanded or contracted without a display process or moving mechanism for moving the pointer so that it can be expanded or contracted. Can be perceived (inchworm illusion).

  In addition, the observer can enjoy watching the movement of the pointer on the timepiece of the timepiece device 100a. That is, the timepiece device 100a can attract the eyes of an observer. For example, when the hands are moved intermittently, the timepiece device 100a and the timepiece program are rebounded for a moment immediately after the hands are moved, or are expanded or contracted together with the operation of the hands being rebounded intermittently. By incorporating such characteristic movements, it is possible to improve the visual design associated with the operation of the timepiece device.

  In addition, when a striped pattern (for example, a striped pattern 800) is configured by a line having the lower limit color value 0 and a line having the upper limit color value 255, the processing unit 120 sets the color value 70 to the color value 230. The pointer (for example, the pointer 810) having an intermediate color included in the range (see FIG. 2) may be moved.

  In addition, the width of the portion that passes through the striped pattern (for example, the striped pattern 410a) in the width of the pointer (for example, the pointer 420) may be equal to an integer multiple of the stripe pattern line.

  The striped pattern (for example, the striped pattern 451) is a plurality of circular rings divided by a plurality of concentric circles sharing a predetermined point (for example, the rotation center 400) and a radial straight line extending from the predetermined point. In the circumferential direction of the concentric circles, the striped pattern is arranged at a predetermined interval by two or more colors, and the processing unit 120 uses the predetermined point as a rotation center to display a pointer (for example, the pointer 460). It may be moved. Here, the striped pattern (for example, the striped pattern 451) may be a striped pattern that is colored at regular intervals as a predetermined interval.

The striped pattern (for example, the striped pattern 490) is a striped pattern composed of a plurality of logarithmic spirals spirally extending from a predetermined point (for example, the rotation center 400), and a circle centered on the predetermined point. It is a striped pattern composed of a plurality of logarithmic spirals drawn at equal intervals on the circumference, and the processing unit 120 may move the pointer around the predetermined point as a rotation center.
Further, at least one of the clock board and the hands may be a displayed image.

  When there are a plurality of pointers, the width of at least one of the plurality of pointers is an integral multiple of the line width of the striped pattern (for example, the striped pattern 410a), or an intermediate magnification of even and odd multiples. May be. Further, the widths of all these pointers may be an integral multiple of the line width of the striped pattern (for example, striped pattern 410a), or an intermediate magnification of an even multiple and an odd multiple.

  In addition, the pointer (for example, the pointer 810) may be at least partially shaped so as to cause an illusion to the observer. When a part of the pointer has a shape causing an illusion to the observer, the width of the pointer is the width of the part.

  Further, the striped pattern (for example, the striped pattern 630) is a lattice-shaped striped pattern, and the pointer (for example, the pointer 600) has a line segment parallel to the straight line constituting the lattice-shaped striped pattern. The processing unit 120 may move at least one of the pointer and the grid-like striped pattern so that the line segment passes parallel to the straight line.

[Second Embodiment]
The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the timepiece and the hands of the timepiece device are physical mechanisms. In the second embodiment, the description will be continued assuming that the timepiece and the hands are physical mechanisms. Only the differences from the first embodiment will be described below.

  FIG. 23 shows a twelfth example of a watch panel and hands. The timepiece system includes a timepiece device 100b. The timepiece device 100b has a configuration corresponding to the timepiece device 100a (see FIG. 1) shown in the first embodiment. The timepiece device 100b includes a timer unit 110, a processing unit 120, and a display unit 130b. The display part 130b is a structure corresponding to the display part 130a (refer FIG. 1) shown in 1st Embodiment.

  The processing unit 120 moves the hands by the moving process to a position (rotation angle) previously associated with the time information so that the hands 420 pass the striped pattern 410b drawn on the display unit 130b as a clock board. Let Here, the processing unit 120 does not execute the movement process for moving the hands 420 so that it is intermittently bounced, and as the movement process, the striped pattern 410b drawn on the display unit 130b as a clock board is used. The pointer is moved according to the time information so that the pointer 420 passes smoothly.

  As the movement process, the processing unit 120 outputs a movement signal for moving the pointer 420 to the display unit 130b. Thereby, the pointer 420 is moved according to the movement signal by an actuator (not shown) included in the display unit 130b. Note that any one of the striped patterns shown in FIGS. 9 to 21 may be drawn on the clock board.

As described above, the timepiece device 100b includes the processing unit 120 that moves the hands 420 having intermediate colors so that the hands 420 pass through the striped pattern 410b drawn on the display unit 130b as a timepiece (see FIG. 1). And a display unit 130b for displaying a clock board and hands.
With this configuration, the processing unit 120 moves the pointer 420 having an intermediate color so that the pointer 420 passes through the striped pattern 410b drawn on the display unit 130b as a clock board.
As a result, the timepiece device 100b moves the pointer 420 so that it is intermittently bounced even if there is no moving mechanism for moving the pointer 420 so that it is intermittently bounced (even if the movement process is not executed). It is possible to make the observer perceive as if (Kickback illusion).
In addition, the timepiece device 100b can be expanded and contracted together with the operation that is intermittently bounced even if there is no moving mechanism for moving the hands 420 while it is intermittently expanded and contracted (even if the moving process is not executed). However, it is possible to make the observer perceive as if the pointer 420 is moved (earth worm illusion).
Further, the observer can enjoy watching the movement of the pointer 420 of the display unit 130b as the clock board of the clock device 100b. That is, the timepiece device 100b can attract the eyes of the observer.
