If the oscillation frequency of the crystal oscillator fluctuates, the electronic clock will shift in pace. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for performing temperature compensation according to a rate shift due to a temperature characteristic of a crystal unit.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of the appearance of the electronic clock.

電子時計1は、いわゆるアナログ腕時計の外観を有し、携帯端末20(図2参照)に対して近距離無線通信により接続される。近距離無線通信の規格は特に限定されず、公知のいかなるものであってもよいが、第1実施形態ではBLE(Bluetooth(登録商標) Low Energy)を用いる。 The electronic clock 1 has the appearance of a so-called analog wristwatch, and is connected to the mobile terminal 20 (see FIG. 2) by short-range wireless communication. The standard for short-range wireless communication is not particularly limited and may be any known standard, but in the first embodiment, BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy) is used.

電子時計1は、時刻針の時刻合わせや機能の使用に用いる竜頭2と、プッシュボタン3を有する。電子時計1は、外装である胴内に文字板4を有する。文字板4上には、電子時計1が携帯端末20との通信接続を確立する処理を行っていることを表す接続処理表示(図1中のACT)8と、携帯端末20との通信接続が切断されたことを表すリンクロス表示(図1中のLL)9と、携帯端末20に電子メールの受信があったことを通知する電子メール受信表示(図1中のMAIL)10と、携帯端末20に電話の着信があったことを通知する電話着信表示(図1中のCALL)11とを有する。電子時計1は、接続処理表示8、リンクロス表示9、電子メール受信表示10及び電話着信表示11のいずれかを秒針7により指し示すことで、ユーザに対しそれぞれの情報を通知する。 The electronic clock 1 has a crown 2 used for setting the time of the time hand and using a function, and a push button 3. The electronic clock 1 has a dial 4 in a body which is an exterior. On the dial 4, a connection processing display (ACT in FIG. 1) 8 indicating that the electronic clock 1 is performing a process of establishing a communication connection with the mobile terminal 20 and a communication connection with the mobile terminal 20 are displayed. A link loss display (LL in FIG. 1) 9 indicating that the user has been disconnected, an e-mail reception display (MAIL in FIG. 1) 10 notifying that the mobile terminal 20 has received an e-mail, and a mobile terminal. 20 has an incoming call display (CALL in FIG. 1) 11 for notifying that there is an incoming call. The electronic clock 1 notifies the user of each information by pointing to any of the connection processing display 8, the link loss display 9, the e-mail reception display 10, and the telephone incoming call display 11 with the second hand 7.

電子時計1は、ステッピングモータ36(図2参照)により駆動される複数の指針を有する。具体的には、電子時計1は、指針として時針5、分針6及び秒針7を有する。なお、電子時計1は、これら以外の指針を有してもよい。電子時計1には、文字板4を覆うようにガラス等の透明材料により形成された風防が胴に取り付けられているとよい。また、風防の反対側においては裏蓋が胴に取り付けられているとよい。 The electronic clock 1 has a plurality of pointers driven by a stepping motor 36 (see FIG. 2).

図2を参照して、第1実施形態に係る温度補償システム100の全体構成について説明する。図2は、第1実施形態に係る温度補償システムの全体構成の一例を示すブロック図である。 The overall configuration of the temperature compensation system 100 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of the temperature compensation system according to the first embodiment.

温度補償システム100は、電子時計1と、携帯端末20を含む。携帯端末20は、ユーザが持ち運び可能な電子機器であって、例えば、スマートフォンである。携帯端末20は、アンテナを含む通信部(不図示)を有し、その通信部で近距離無線通信に用いられる電波等を送受信する。 The temperature compensation system 100 includes an electronic clock 1 and a mobile terminal 20. The mobile terminal 20 is an electronic device that can be carried by the user, and is, for example, a smartphone. The mobile terminal 20 has a communication unit (not shown) including an antenna, and the communication unit transmits and receives radio waves and the like used for short-range wireless communication.

図2に示すように、電子時計1は、発振回路31と、分周回路32と、カウンタ33と、制御部34と、モータ駆動回路35と、ステッピングモータ36と、時刻表示部37と、温度測定部38と、温度補償回路39と、水晶振動子40、温度記録部41とを有する。また、電子時計1は、アンテナを含む通信部(不図示)を有し、その通信部で近距離無線通信に用いられる電波等を送受信する。 As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic clock 1 includes an oscillation circuit 31, a frequency dividing circuit 32, a counter 33, a control unit 34, a motor drive circuit 35, a stepping motor 36, a time display unit 37, and a temperature. It has a measuring unit 38, a temperature compensation circuit 39, a crystal oscillator 40, and a temperature recording unit 41. Further, the electronic clock 1 has a communication unit (not shown) including an antenna, and the communication unit transmits and receives radio waves and the like used for short-range wireless communication.

発振回路31は、水晶振動子40に接続される。水晶振動子40は元来備える特性を有しており、例えば、32,768Hzの発振周波数を有するものを用いるとよい。発振回路31は、水晶振動子40の発振に応じた信号を出力する。この信号は分周回路32によりクロック信号に変換される。また、カウンタ33がクロック信号の数をカウントする。そして、制御部34が、カウンタ33によりカウントされたクロック信号のカウント数に応じて、駆動信号をモータ駆動回路35に出力する。モータ駆動回路35は、駆動信号に基づいてステッピングモータ36を駆動させる。ステッピングモータ36が駆動することにより、時刻表示部37が時刻を表示する。具体的には、時刻表示部37は、上述した時針5、分針6、及び秒針7により時刻を表示する。 The oscillation circuit 31 is connected to the crystal oscillator 40. The crystal oscillator 40 originally has characteristics, and for example, it is preferable to use one having an oscillation frequency of 32,768 Hz. The oscillation circuit 31 outputs a signal corresponding to the oscillation of the crystal oscillator 40. This signal is converted into a clock signal by the frequency dividing circuit 32. Further, the counter 33 counts the number of clock signals. Then, the control unit 34 outputs a drive signal to the motor drive circuit 35 according to the count number of the clock signals counted by the counter 33. The motor drive circuit 35 drives the stepping motor 36 based on the drive signal. When the stepping motor 36 is driven, the time display unit 37 displays the time. Specifically, the time display unit 37 displays the time by the hour hand 5, the minute hand 6, and the second hand 7 described above.

ここで、水晶振動子40の発振周波数には温度依存性があり、電子時計1の使用環境の温度によって発振周波数が変動する。発振周波数が変動すると電子時計1の歩度がずれてしまう。そのような水晶振動子40の温度特性によって生じる歩度ずれを補正するため、電子時計1の使用環境の温度に応じて所謂温度補償を行う必要がある。なお、歩度とは、ある期間の時刻の進み又は遅れの程度を示すものである。 Here, the oscillation frequency of the crystal oscillator 40 is temperature-dependent, and the oscillation frequency fluctuates depending on the temperature of the environment in which the electronic clock 1 is used. If the oscillation frequency fluctuates, the rate of the electronic clock 1 will shift. In order to correct the rate deviation caused by the temperature characteristics of the crystal unit 40, it is necessary to perform so-called temperature compensation according to the temperature of the environment in which the electronic clock 1 is used. The step rate indicates the degree of advancement or delay of the time in a certain period.

なお、本実施形態においては、水晶振動子40を用いた例について説明するが、これに限られるわけではなく、温度特性を有する他の発振子又は発振器を用いてもよい。例えば、発振器として、MEMS(Micro Electro Mechanical Systems)発振器や、セラミック発振子等を用いてもよい。 In this embodiment, an example using the crystal oscillator 40 will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and another oscillator or oscillator having a temperature characteristic may be used. For example, a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) oscillator, a ceramic oscillator, or the like may be used as the oscillator.

温度測定部38は、電子時計1の使用環境の温度を測定する。温度記録部41は、温度測定部38が測定した温度を記録する。 The temperature measuring unit 38 measures the temperature of the operating environment of the electronic clock 1. The temperature recording unit 41 records the temperature measured by the temperature measuring unit 38.

温度補償回路39は、水晶振動子40の温度特性に応じた温度補償条件を記憶する。温度補償回路39は、制御部34にその動作を制御され、温度補償条件及び温度測定部38が測定した電子時計1の使用環境の温度に基づいて、温度補償を行う。具体的には、温度補償条件及び温度測定部38が測定した電子時計1の使用環境の温度に基づいて、少なくとも発振回路31の発振周波数又は分周回路32の分周比のいずれか一方を補正することにより、水晶振動子40の温度特性に基づいて生じる歩度ずれを補正する。 The temperature compensation circuit 39 stores the temperature compensation conditions according to the temperature characteristics of the crystal unit 40. The operation of the temperature compensation circuit 39 is controlled by the control unit 34, and the temperature compensation is performed based on the temperature compensation conditions and the temperature of the operating environment of the electronic clock 1 measured by the temperature measurement unit 38. Specifically, at least one of the oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit 31 and the division ratio of the frequency division circuit 32 is corrected based on the temperature compensation condition and the temperature of the operating environment of the electronic clock 1 measured by the temperature measurement unit 38. By doing so, the rate deviation that occurs based on the temperature characteristics of the crystal oscillator 40 is corrected.

図3は、水晶振動子の温度特性の一例を示す図である。水晶振動子40の温度特性は予め予測できるものであり、二次曲線を示す関数で表すことができる。なお、二次曲線を示す関数で表すことができる温度特性を有する水晶振動子として、音叉型水晶振動子を用いるとよい。図3において、横軸は温度(℃)を示し、縦軸は歩度ずれ量(ppm[parts per million])を示す。第1実施形態においては、図3に示すように、常温(約25℃)において最も歩度ずれが小さく、常温よりも温度が高い場合も低い場合も歩度ずれが大きくなる特性を有する水晶振動子40を用いる。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the temperature characteristics of the crystal unit. The temperature characteristics of the crystal unit 40 can be predicted in advance, and can be represented by a function showing a quadratic curve. It is preferable to use a tuning fork type crystal unit as a crystal unit having a temperature characteristic that can be represented by a function showing a quadratic curve. In FIG. 3, the horizontal axis represents the temperature (° C.) and the vertical axis represents the rate deviation (ppm [parts per million]). In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the crystal oscillator 40 has a characteristic that the step deviation is the smallest at room temperature (about 25 ° C.) and the step deviation is large when the temperature is higher or lower than the room temperature. Is used.

一方、携帯端末20は、図2に示すように、GPS(Global Positioning System)受信部21と、基準時刻生成部22と、歩度ずれ量取得部23とを有する。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 20 has a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiving unit 21, a reference time generating unit 22, and a step deviation amount acquisition unit 23.

携帯端末20は、アンテナを含むGPS受信部21により、GPS衛星から送信される衛星電波を受信する。GPSは、衛星測位システムの一種であって、地球の周囲を周回する複数のGPS衛星によって実現されている。これらのGPS衛星は、それぞれ高精度の原子時計を搭載しており、原子時計によって計時された時刻情報を含んだ衛星信号を周期的に送信している。携帯端末20は、GPS衛星から受信した電波に基づいて、基準時刻生成部22により基準時刻を生成する。なお、GPS衛星からの衛星電波を受信するものに限られず、例えば、携帯電話会社の基地局等から送信される時刻情報を含んだ電波を携帯端末20が受信してもよい。 The mobile terminal 20 receives satellite radio waves transmitted from GPS satellites by a GPS receiving unit 21 including an antenna. GPS is a kind of satellite positioning system, and is realized by a plurality of GPS satellites orbiting the earth. Each of these GPS satellites is equipped with a high-precision atomic clock, and periodically transmits satellite signals including time information measured by the atomic clock. The mobile terminal 20 generates a reference time by the reference time generation unit 22 based on the radio waves received from the GPS satellites. The mobile terminal 20 is not limited to receiving satellite radio waves from GPS satellites. For example, the mobile terminal 20 may receive radio waves including time information transmitted from a base station of a mobile phone company or the like.

また、携帯端末20は、近距離無線通信により、基準時刻生成部22で生成した基準時刻に関する情報を電子時計1へ送信する。これにより、電子時計1の内部時刻は、基準時刻に同期され、正確に保たれる。この際、携帯端末20の基準時刻を計時するクロック信号が発生した後、最も近いタイミングで発生する電子時計1の内部時刻を計時するクロック信号を、基準時刻を計時するクロック信号に同期するとよい。なお、電子時計1に歩度ずれがある場合、電子時計1と携帯端末20とを近距離無線通信による通信接続を長時間行わないと、電子時計1の内部時刻と基準時刻のずれが大きくなる。 Further, the mobile terminal 20 transmits the information regarding the reference time generated by the reference time generation unit 22 to the electronic clock 1 by short-range wireless communication. As a result, the internal time of the electronic clock 1 is synchronized with the reference time and is kept accurate. At this time, after the clock signal for timing the reference time of the mobile terminal 20 is generated, the clock signal for timing the internal time of the electronic clock 1 generated at the nearest timing may be synchronized with the clock signal for timing the reference time. If the electronic clock 1 has a step difference, the difference between the internal time of the electronic clock 1 and the reference time becomes large unless the electronic clock 1 and the mobile terminal 20 are connected to each other for a long time by short-range wireless communication.

携帯端末20と電子時計1が通信接続されることによって内部時刻が基準時刻に同期された際における内部時刻の修正量が内部時刻の時刻ずれ量である。歩度ずれ量取得部23は、電子時計1の歩度ずれ量を取得する。具体的には、歩度ずれ量取得部23は、内部時刻の時刻ずれ量(修正量)と、その時刻ずれが生じた期間に基づいて、歩度ずれ量を取得する。 The amount of correction of the internal time when the internal time is synchronized with the reference time by the communication connection between the mobile terminal 20 and the electronic clock 1 is the amount of time lag of the internal time. The rate deviation amount acquisition unit 23 acquires the rate deviation amount of the electronic clock 1. Specifically, the step deviation amount acquisition unit 23 acquires the step deviation amount based on the time deviation amount (correction amount) of the internal time and the period in which the time deviation occurs.

ここで、前述したように、電子時計1においては、温度補償条件に基づいて温度補償が行われる。電子時計1に記憶できる情報量は限られており、使用環境の温度傾向に幅広く対応可能な精度の高い温度補償条件を記憶しておくのは困難である。 Here, as described above, in the electronic timepiece 1, temperature compensation is performed based on the temperature compensation conditions. The amount of information that can be stored in the electronic clock 1 is limited, and it is difficult to store highly accurate temperature compensation conditions that can widely respond to the temperature trends of the usage environment.

そこで、第1実施形態に係る温度補償システム100においては、図2に示すように、携帯端末20が、温度取得部24と、温度補償条件記憶部25と、切替部26とをさらに含む。なお、温度取得部24、温度補償条件記憶部25、切替部26は、携帯端末20が備えるメモリ等に、アプリケーションがインストールされることにより記憶されるとよい。インストールされたアプリケーションは、携帯端末20が備えるCPU(Central Processing Unit)により動作が制御されるとよい。
(〜0047:B−2)
Therefore, in the temperature compensation system 100 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 20 further includes a temperature acquisition unit 24, a temperature compensation condition storage unit 25, and a switching unit 26. The temperature acquisition unit 24, the temperature compensation condition storage unit 25, and the switching unit 26 may be stored when the application is installed in the memory or the like provided in the mobile terminal 20. The operation of the installed application may be controlled by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) included in the mobile terminal 20.

温度補償条件記憶部25は、水晶振動子40の温度特性に応じた複数の温度補償条件を記憶する。第1実施形態においては、温度補償条件記憶部25が、図4〜図6に示す3つの温度補償条件を記憶する例について説明する。図4は、低温用補償条件の一例を示す図である。図5は、中温用補償条件の一例を示す図である。図6は、高温用補償条件の一例を示す図である。各温度補償条件は、温度と歩度の補正値とが対応付けられたテーブルからなる。例えば、図4においては、電子時計1の使用環境の温度が0℃の場合、水晶振動子40の歩度ずれ量に対応する歩度の補正値を615ppmとし、30℃の場合、歩度の補正値を15ppmとすることを示している。図4〜図6のいずれも、図3に示す温度特性を有する水晶振動子40に対する温度補償条件であって、0℃〜50℃の環境下において対応可能な温度補償条件を示す。 The temperature compensation condition storage unit 25 stores a plurality of temperature compensation conditions according to the temperature characteristics of the crystal unit 40. In the first embodiment, an example in which the temperature compensation condition storage unit 25 stores the three temperature compensation conditions shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of compensation conditions for low temperature. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of compensation conditions for medium temperature. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of compensation conditions for high temperature. Each temperature compensation condition consists of a table in which the temperature and the correction value of the rate are associated with each other. For example, in FIG. 4, when the temperature of the usage environment of the electronic clock 1 is 0 ° C., the step correction value corresponding to the step deviation amount of the crystal oscillator 40 is set to 615 ppm, and when the temperature is 30 ° C., the step correction value is set. It is shown to be 15 ppm. Each of FIGS. 4 to 6 is a temperature compensation condition for the crystal unit 40 having the temperature characteristics shown in FIG. 3, and shows a temperature compensation condition that can be handled in an environment of 0 ° C. to 50 ° C.

ここで、温度補償条件に多くの情報を持たせておくと、温度補償の精度が高くなるが、電子時計1に記憶できる情報量には限りがある。例えば、0℃〜50℃までの各温度における補正値を1℃毎に対応付けた温度補償条件に基づいて温度補償を行うと、精度の高い温度補償ができるが、そのような温度補償条件を電子時計1に記憶させておくことは困難である。そこで、第1実施形態においては、電子時計1に記憶させる情報量を増大することなく、電子時計1の使用環境の温度に適した温度補償条件を用いて温度補償を行うことが可能な構成とした。 Here, if a large amount of information is provided in the temperature compensation condition, the accuracy of the temperature compensation becomes high, but the amount of information that can be stored in the electronic clock 1 is limited. For example, if temperature compensation is performed based on a temperature compensation condition in which correction values at each temperature from 0 ° C. to 50 ° C. are associated with each 1 ° C., highly accurate temperature compensation can be performed. It is difficult to store it in the electronic clock 1. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the temperature compensation can be performed by using the temperature compensation conditions suitable for the temperature of the usage environment of the electronic clock 1 without increasing the amount of information stored in the electronic clock 1. did.

図4に示すように、低温用補償条件においては、9℃〜21℃における温度区間を密な領域とした。すなわち、9℃〜21℃の領域においては、温度補償の精度を高くし、他の領域においては温度補償の精度を粗くした。 As shown in FIG. 4, under the low temperature compensation condition, the temperature interval between 9 ° C. and 21 ° C. was set as a dense region. That is, in the region of 9 ° C. to 21 ° C., the accuracy of temperature compensation was increased, and in the other regions, the accuracy of temperature compensation was coarsened.

図5に示すように、中温用補償条件においては、19℃〜31℃における温度区間を密な領域とした。すなわち、19℃〜31℃の領域においては、温度補償の精度を高くし、他の領域においては温度補償の精度を粗くした。 As shown in FIG. 5, under the compensation conditions for medium temperature, the temperature interval between 19 ° C. and 31 ° C. was set as a dense region. That is, in the region of 19 ° C. to 31 ° C., the accuracy of temperature compensation was increased, and in the other regions, the accuracy of temperature compensation was coarsened.

図6に示すように、高温用補償条件においては、29℃〜41℃における温度区間を密な領域とした。すなわち、29℃〜41℃の領域においては、温度補償の精度を高くし、他の領域においては温度補償の精度を粗くした。 As shown in FIG. 6, under the high temperature compensation condition, the temperature interval between 29 ° C. and 41 ° C. was set as a dense region. That is, in the region of 29 ° C. to 41 ° C., the accuracy of temperature compensation was increased, and in the other regions, the accuracy of temperature compensation was coarsened.

温度取得部24は、近距離無線通信により、電子時計1の温度測定部38が測定した電子時計1の使用環境の温度を取得する。なお、温度取得部24は、温度測定部38から使用環境の温度を直接取得してもよいし、一旦温度記録部41に記録された使用環境の温度を取得してもよい。電子時計1は、温度測定部38が測定した使用環境の温度を携帯端末20に通知する温度通知部を含むとよい。第1実施形態においては、温度取得部24は、温度測定部38が複数回測定した電子時計1の使用環境の温度の中央値を、その使用環境下での温度の傾向として取得する。 The temperature acquisition unit 24 acquires the temperature of the operating environment of the electronic clock 1 measured by the temperature measurement unit 38 of the electronic clock 1 by short-range wireless communication. The temperature acquisition unit 24 may directly acquire the temperature of the operating environment from the temperature measuring unit 38, or may acquire the temperature of the operating environment once recorded in the temperature recording unit 41. The electronic clock 1 may include a temperature notification unit that notifies the mobile terminal 20 of the temperature of the usage environment measured by the temperature measurement unit 38. In the first embodiment, the temperature acquisition unit 24 acquires the median temperature of the operating environment of the electronic clock 1 measured a plurality of times by the temperature measuring unit 38 as a tendency of the temperature under the operating environment.

切替部26は、温度取得部24が取得した温度の中央値が20℃以下の場合、図4に示す低温用補償条件を選択するとよい。また、切替部26は、温度取得部24が取得した温度の中央値が20℃より大きく、30℃より小さい場合、図5に示す中温用補償条件を選択するとよい。また、切替部26は、温度取得部24が取得した温度の中央値が30℃以上の場合、図6に示す高温用補償条件を選択するとよい。なお、電子時計1の使用環境の温度の傾向は、中央値に限られるものではなく、平均値や最頻値であってもよい。 When the median temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 is 20 ° C. or lower, the switching unit 26 may select the low temperature compensation condition shown in FIG. Further, when the median temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 is larger than 20 ° C. and smaller than 30 ° C., the switching unit 26 may select the medium temperature compensation condition shown in FIG. Further, when the median temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 is 30 ° C. or higher, the switching unit 26 may select the high temperature compensation condition shown in FIG. The temperature tendency of the environment in which the electronic clock 1 is used is not limited to the median value, and may be an average value or a mode value.

携帯端末20は、切替部26が選択した温度補償条件を、近距離無線通信により、電子時計1の温度補償回路39へ送信する。電子時計1は、切替部26が選択した温度補償条件を取得する温度補償条件取得部を含むとよい。そして、温度補償回路39は、携帯端末20から送信された温度補償条件を記憶し、その温度補償条件を用いて温度補償を行う。なお、使用環境が変わった場合、すなわち、温度取得部24が取得した電子時計1の温度の中央値が変わった場合、それに応じて、切替部26が電子時計1へ送信する温度補償条件を切り替えるとよい。 The mobile terminal 20 transmits the temperature compensation condition selected by the switching unit 26 to the temperature compensation circuit 39 of the electronic watch 1 by short-range wireless communication. The electronic clock 1 may include a temperature compensation condition acquisition unit that acquires the temperature compensation condition selected by the switching unit 26. Then, the temperature compensation circuit 39 stores the temperature compensation conditions transmitted from the mobile terminal 20, and performs temperature compensation using the temperature compensation conditions. When the usage environment changes, that is, when the median temperature of the electronic clock 1 acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 changes, the temperature compensation condition transmitted by the switching unit 26 to the electronic clock 1 is switched accordingly. It is good.

以上説明したように、第1実施形態においては、電子時計1の使用環境に適した温度補償条件を携帯端末20が選択し、選択された温度補償条件を用いて電子時計1の温度補償回路39が温度補償を行う。このような構成により、電子時計1に記憶される情報量を増大することなく、水晶振動子40の使用環境に応じて精度の高い温度補償を行うことが可能となる。また、第1実施形態においては、温度補償条件の情報量を少なくできるため、近距離無線通信により携帯端末20から電子時計1へ温度補償条件を送信する際の通信量が増大することを抑制できる。なお、携帯端末20から電子時計1へ温度補償条件が送信され、温度補償回路39が温度補償条件を取得した際に、温度記録部41は記録される温度データを消去するとよい。その後温度記録部41は温度測定部38が測定した使用環境の温度を新たに記録し、その使用環境の温度に基づいて、携帯端末20が最適な温度補償条件を選択する動作を行うとよい。 As described above, in the first embodiment, the mobile terminal 20 selects the temperature compensation condition suitable for the usage environment of the electronic watch 1, and the temperature compensation circuit 39 of the electronic watch 1 uses the selected temperature compensation condition. Performs temperature compensation. With such a configuration, it is possible to perform highly accurate temperature compensation according to the usage environment of the crystal oscillator 40 without increasing the amount of information stored in the electronic clock 1. Further, in the first embodiment, since the amount of information on the temperature compensation condition can be reduced, it is possible to suppress an increase in the amount of communication when the temperature compensation condition is transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 to the electronic watch 1 by short-range wireless communication. .. When the temperature compensation condition is transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 to the electronic watch 1 and the temperature compensation circuit 39 acquires the temperature compensation condition, the temperature recording unit 41 may erase the recorded temperature data. After that, the temperature recording unit 41 newly records the temperature of the operating environment measured by the temperature measuring unit 38, and the mobile terminal 20 may perform an operation of selecting the optimum temperature compensation condition based on the temperature of the operating environment.

なお、第1実施形態においては、温度補償条件記憶部25が3つの温度補償条件を記憶しており、切替部26がそのいずれかを選択する例について説明したが、これに限られるものではない。例えば、温度補償条件記憶部25が、図4〜図6に示すテーブルに含まれる温度と補正値との対応付けデータの全てを含む高分解能の1つのテーブルを記憶していてもよい。そして、図2に示す生成部27が、温度取得部24が取得した電子時計1の使用環境の温度の傾向に基づいて、対応付けデータの一部を抽出して温度補償条件を生成してもよい。具体的には、例えば、温度取得部24が取得した温度の中央値が38℃であれば、38℃付近の温度区間が密の領域となる温度補償条件を生成部27が生成するとよい。そして、生成部27により生成された温度補償条件を温度補償条件記憶部25が記憶し、切替部26が電子時計1に送信する温度補償条件を生成部27に生成された温度補償条件に切り替えるとよい。このような構成とすることで、電子時計1に記憶される情報量を増大することなく、温度環境に応じたさらに精度の高い温度補償を行うことが可能となる。 In the first embodiment, an example in which the temperature compensation condition storage unit 25 stores three temperature compensation conditions and the switching unit 26 selects one of them has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. .. For example, the temperature compensation condition storage unit 25 may store one high-resolution table including all the association data between the temperature and the correction value included in the tables shown in FIGS. 4 to 6. Then, even if the generation unit 27 shown in FIG. 2 extracts a part of the association data and generates the temperature compensation condition based on the temperature tendency of the usage environment of the electronic clock 1 acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24. Good. Specifically, for example, if the median temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 is 38 ° C., the generation unit 27 may generate a temperature compensation condition in which the temperature section near 38 ° C. is a dense region. Then, when the temperature compensation condition storage unit 25 stores the temperature compensation condition generated by the generation unit 27 and the temperature compensation condition transmitted by the switching unit 26 to the electronic clock 1 is switched to the temperature compensation condition generated by the generation unit 27. Good. With such a configuration, it is possible to perform more accurate temperature compensation according to the temperature environment without increasing the amount of information stored in the electronic timepiece 1.

また、図4〜図6においては、温度補償条件記憶部25が使用環境の温度と補正値とが離散的に対応付けられる温度補償条件を記憶する例について説明したが、これに限られるものではない。例えば、使用環境の温度と補正値との関係を二次関数として連続的に対応付けた情報を携帯端末20に予め記憶させておき、生成部27が、温度測定部38が測定した使用環境の温度の傾向に基づいて、その二次関数から、使用環境の温度と補正値とが離散的に対応付けられる温度補償条件を生成してもよい。具体的には、使用環境の温度の傾向が、温度区間が密の領域に対応するような温度補償条件を生成するとよい。温度補償条件を生成するための情報を二次関数として記憶することにより、使用環境に応じたより精度の高い温度補償条件の選択が可能となる。 Further, in FIGS. 4 to 6, an example in which the temperature compensation condition storage unit 25 stores the temperature compensation condition in which the temperature of the usage environment and the correction value are discretely associated with each other has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. Absent. For example, information in which the relationship between the temperature of the usage environment and the correction value is continuously associated as a quadratic function is stored in advance in the mobile terminal 20, and the generation unit 27 measures the temperature of the usage environment measured by the temperature measurement unit 38. Based on the temperature tendency, a temperature compensation condition in which the temperature of the usage environment and the correction value are discretely associated with each other may be generated from the quadratic function. Specifically, it is preferable to generate a temperature compensation condition such that the temperature tendency of the usage environment corresponds to a region where the temperature interval is dense. By storing the information for generating the temperature compensation condition as a quadratic function, it is possible to select the temperature compensation condition with higher accuracy according to the usage environment.

さらに、図7〜図11を参照して、第1実施形態の変形例について説明する。なお、第1実施形態で説明した構成と同じ構成については同じ符号を用いてその説明は省略する。 Further, a modified example of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 11. The same reference numerals are used for the same configurations as those described in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

図7は、水晶振動子の温度特性の一例を示す図である。図8は、相対温度補償条件の一例を示す図である。図9は、低温用補償条件の一例を示す図である。図10は、中温用補償条件の一例を示す図である。図11は、高温用補償条件の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the temperature characteristics of the crystal unit. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of relative temperature compensation conditions. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of compensation conditions for low temperature. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of compensation conditions for medium temperature. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of compensation conditions for high temperature.

変形例においても、図7に示すように、常温(約25℃)において最も歩度ずれが小さく、常温よりも温度が高い場合も低い場合も歩度ずれが大きくなる特性を有する水晶振動子40を用いる。一方、変形例においては、図3で示した第1実施形態よりも対応可能な使用環境の温度の範囲を広くした。具体的には、第1実施形態においては、対応可能な使用環境の温度の範囲を0℃〜50℃としたが、変形例においては、図7に示すように、対応可能な使用環境の温度の範囲を−15℃〜65℃とした。 Also in the modified example, as shown in FIG. 7, a crystal oscillator 40 having a characteristic that the step deviation is the smallest at room temperature (about 25 ° C.) and the step deviation is large when the temperature is higher or lower than the room temperature is used. .. On the other hand, in the modified example, the temperature range of the operating environment that can be handled is wider than that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. Specifically, in the first embodiment, the temperature range of the applicable operating environment is set to 0 ° C. to 50 ° C., but in the modified example, as shown in FIG. 7, the temperature of the applicable operating environment is set. The range of the temperature was -15 ° C to 65 ° C.

変形例において、温度補償条件記憶部25は、図8に示す相対温度補償条件を記憶している。相対温度補償条件は、図8に示すように、電子時計1の使用環境の温度の中央値に対する相対温度(℃)と、歩度の補正値(ppm)とが対応づけられたテーブルからなる。変形例においては、電子時計1の使用環境の温度の中央値と、相対温度補償条件に基づいて、生成部27が温度補償条件を生成する構成とした。 In the modified example, the temperature compensation condition storage unit 25 stores the relative temperature compensation condition shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the relative temperature compensation condition comprises a table in which the relative temperature (° C.) with respect to the median temperature of the operating environment of the electronic clock 1 and the correction value (ppm) of the rate are associated with each other. In the modified example, the generation unit 27 generates the temperature compensation condition based on the median temperature of the operating environment of the electronic clock 1 and the relative temperature compensation condition.

相対温度補償条件においては、相対温度のデータ数を固定とし、その相対温度に低温用補正値、中温用補正値、高温用補正値をそれぞれ対応付けた。そして、図8に示すように、相対温度が−6℃〜6℃において、温度区間を密とした。そして、相対温度が高くなる程、または低くなる程、温度区間を疎とした。このように、変形例においては、中央値に相対的に近い温度において、温度補償の精度が高くなるよう相対温度補償条件を設定した。なお、相対温度の範囲は−30℃〜30℃とした。 In the relative temperature compensation condition, the number of relative temperature data was fixed, and the low temperature correction value, the medium temperature correction value, and the high temperature correction value were associated with the relative temperature. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, when the relative temperature was −6 ° C. to 6 ° C., the temperature interval was made dense. Then, the higher or lower the relative temperature, the sparser the temperature interval. As described above, in the modified example, the relative temperature compensation condition is set so that the accuracy of the temperature compensation becomes high at the temperature relatively close to the median. The relative temperature range was −30 ° C. to 30 ° C.

図9は、温度取得部24が取得した温度の中央値が15℃(低温)の場合において、生成部27が生成する低温用補償条件を示す。低温用補償条件においては、中央値15℃からのずれが−6℃〜6℃に対応する9℃〜21℃における温度区間が密な領域となる。すなわち、9℃〜21℃の領域においては、温度補償の精度が高く、他の領域においては温度補償の精度が粗くなっている。なお、中央値が15℃である低温用補償条件においては、対応可能な使用環境の温度の範囲は、−15℃〜45℃となる。 FIG. 9 shows the low temperature compensation conditions generated by the generation unit 27 when the median temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 is 15 ° C. (low temperature). Under the low temperature compensation condition, the temperature interval at 9 ° C. to 21 ° C. corresponding to the deviation from the median value of 15 ° C. of −6 ° C. to 6 ° C. is a dense region. That is, the accuracy of temperature compensation is high in the region of 9 ° C. to 21 ° C., and the accuracy of temperature compensation is coarse in other regions. Under the low temperature compensation condition where the median value is 15 ° C., the temperature range of the operating environment that can be used is −15 ° C. to 45 ° C.

図10は、温度取得部24が取得した温度の中央値が25℃(中温)の場合において、生成部27が生成する中温用補償条件を示す。中温用補償条件においては、中央値25℃からのずれが−6℃〜6℃に対応する19℃〜31℃における温度区間が密な領域となる。すなわち、19℃〜31℃の領域においては、温度補償の精度を高く、他の領域においては温度補償の精度が粗くなっている。なお、中央値が25℃である中温用補償条件においては、対応可能な使用環境の温度の範囲は、−5℃〜55℃となる。 FIG. 10 shows the compensation conditions for medium temperature generated by the generation unit 27 when the median temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 is 25 ° C. (medium temperature). Under the medium temperature compensation condition, the temperature interval at 19 ° C. to 31 ° C. corresponding to the deviation from the median 25 ° C. of −6 ° C. to 6 ° C. is a dense region. That is, the accuracy of temperature compensation is high in the region of 19 ° C. to 31 ° C., and the accuracy of temperature compensation is coarse in other regions. Under the medium temperature compensation condition where the median value is 25 ° C., the temperature range of the operating environment that can be handled is −5 ° C. to 55 ° C.

図11は、温度取得部24が取得した温度の中央値が35℃(高温)の場合において、生成部27が生成する高温用補償条件を示す。高温用補償条件においては、中央値35℃からのずれが−6℃〜6℃に対応する29℃〜41℃における温度区間が密な領域となる。すなわち、29℃〜41℃の領域においては、温度補償の精度が高く、他の領域においては温度補償の精度が粗くなっている。なお、中央値が35℃である高温用補償条件においては、対応可能な使用環境の温度の範囲は、5℃〜65℃となる。 FIG. 11 shows the high temperature compensation condition generated by the generation unit 27 when the median temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 is 35 ° C. (high temperature). Under the high temperature compensation condition, the temperature interval at 29 ° C. to 41 ° C. corresponding to the deviation from the median 35 ° C. of −6 ° C. to 6 ° C. is a dense region. That is, the accuracy of temperature compensation is high in the region of 29 ° C. to 41 ° C., and the accuracy of temperature compensation is coarse in other regions. Under the high temperature compensation condition where the median value is 35 ° C., the temperature range of the operating environment that can be supported is 5 ° C. to 65 ° C.

変形例においては、温度取得部24が取得した温度の中央値が20℃以下の場合、図9に示す低温用補償条件を生成部27が生成し、切替部26が電子時計1へ送信する温度補償条件として図9に示す低温用補償条件を選択するとよい。また、温度取得部24が取得した温度の中央値が20℃より大きく30℃より小さい場合、図10に示す中温用補償条件を生成部27が生成し、切替部26が電子時計1へ送信する温度補償条件として図10に示す中温用補償条件を選択するとよい。また、温度取得部24が取得した温度の中央値が30℃以上の場合、図11に示す高温用補償条件を生成部27が生成し、切替部26が電子時計1へ送信する温度補償条件として図11に示す高温用補償条件を選択するとよい。 In the modified example, when the median temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 is 20 ° C. or less, the temperature at which the generation unit 27 generates the low temperature compensation condition shown in FIG. 9 and the switching unit 26 transmits the temperature to the electronic watch 1. As the compensation condition, the low temperature compensation condition shown in FIG. 9 may be selected. When the median temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 is greater than 20 ° C. and smaller than 30 ° C., the generation unit 27 generates the medium temperature compensation condition shown in FIG. 10, and the switching unit 26 transmits the temperature to the electronic watch 1. As the temperature compensation condition, the medium temperature compensation condition shown in FIG. 10 may be selected. When the median temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 is 30 ° C. or higher, the generation unit 27 generates the high temperature compensation condition shown in FIG. 11, and the switching unit 26 transmits the temperature compensation condition to the electronic watch 1. The high temperature compensation condition shown in FIG. 11 may be selected.

以上説明したように、変形例においては、相対温度の数と値が固定のため、電子時計1に記憶される値は中央値と各相対温度での補正量のみとなるので、第1実施形態の構成と比較して、温度条件記憶部25に記憶される情報量を少なくすることができる。そのため、情報量を増大することなく、対応可能な使用環境の温度の範囲を広くすることができる。また、図8〜図11に示すテーブルに含まれる温度と補正値との対応付けデータの全てを含む高分解能の1つのテーブルを記憶していてもよい。そして、図2に示す生成部27が、温度取得部24が取得した電子時計1の使用環境の温度の傾向に基づいて、対応付けデータの一部を抽出して温度補償条件を生成してもよい。 As described above, in the modified example, since the number and the value of the relative temperature are fixed, the value stored in the electronic clock 1 is only the median value and the correction amount at each relative temperature. The amount of information stored in the temperature condition storage unit 25 can be reduced as compared with the configuration of. Therefore, it is possible to widen the temperature range of the operating environment that can be handled without increasing the amount of information. Further, one high-resolution table including all the association data between the temperature and the correction value included in the tables shown in FIGS. 8 to 11 may be stored. Then, even if the generation unit 27 shown in FIG. 2 extracts a part of the association data and generates the temperature compensation condition based on the temperature tendency of the usage environment of the electronic clock 1 acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24. Good.

なお、第1実施形態及びその変形例においては、携帯端末20から送信された温度補償条件を電子時計1が複数記憶する構成であってもよい。そのような構成にすることで、電子時計1と携帯端末20の通信接続を長期間行わない場合であっても、電子時計1が自ら使用環境の温度に応じて使用する温度補償条件を切り替えればよい。電子時計1に記憶できる情報量には限りがあるが、第1実施形態及びその変形例で説明した情報量の少ない温度補償条件を用いることで、電子時計1は複数の温度補償条件を記憶しておくことが可能となる。 In the first embodiment and its modifications, the electronic watch 1 may store a plurality of temperature compensation conditions transmitted from the mobile terminal 20. With such a configuration, even if the communication connection between the electronic watch 1 and the mobile terminal 20 is not performed for a long period of time, the temperature compensation condition used by the electronic watch 1 can be switched according to the temperature of the usage environment. Good. Although the amount of information that can be stored in the electronic clock 1 is limited, the electronic clock 1 can store a plurality of temperature compensation conditions by using the temperature compensation conditions with a small amount of information described in the first embodiment and its modification. It will be possible to keep it.

次に、図12を参照して、第2実施形態について説明する。図12は、第2実施形態における、使用環境の温度の傾向と歩度ずれ量の取得について説明するための図である。なお、第2実施形態に係る温度補償システム100の全体構成は図2を参照して説明した第1実施形態と同様であるため、同じ構成について同じ符号を用いてその説明は省略する。 Next, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the tendency of the temperature in the usage environment and the acquisition of the step deviation amount in the second embodiment. Since the overall configuration of the temperature compensation system 100 according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 2, the description thereof will be omitted by using the same reference numerals for the same configuration.

温度取得部24は、電子時計1の使用環境の温度を取得する。また、歩度ずれ量取得部23は、電子時計1の使用環境の温度を取得した時点における時刻ずれ量を取得する。図12においては、時刻ずれ量の累積が5秒に達するまで、時刻ずれ量を複数回数取得した例を示す。図12に示すように、時計自体の内部時計の進み遅れと、携帯端末20の時刻同期精度のジッターにより、携帯端末20側から見た時刻は早くなったり遅くなったりを繰り返しながら、次第に時刻のずれ量が大きくなっていく。歩度ずれ量取得部23は、累積時刻ずれ量と、その累積時刻ずれ量に達するのに要した期間に基づいて、歩度ずれ量を取得する。なお、電子時計1の内部時刻は携帯端末20に接続される度に時刻修正され、携帯端末20はその際の時刻ずれ量を累積して記憶する。時刻のずれ量を取得した際に、その前に既に温度補償が行われていた場合、既に補正された補正量を差し引いて歩度ずれ量を取得するとよい。また、図12は、累積時刻ずれ量が5秒に達するのに要した期間において温度取得部24が取得した最低温度は24℃であり、最高温度は29℃であり、その平均温度が26.5℃であった場合の例を示す。 The temperature acquisition unit 24 acquires the temperature of the operating environment of the electronic clock 1. Further, the step deviation amount acquisition unit 23 acquires the time deviation amount at the time when the temperature of the usage environment of the electronic clock 1 is acquired. FIG. 12 shows an example in which the time lag amount is acquired a plurality of times until the cumulative time lag amount reaches 5 seconds. As shown in FIG. 12, due to the advance / lag of the internal clock of the clock itself and the jitter of the time synchronization accuracy of the mobile terminal 20, the time seen from the mobile terminal 20 side repeatedly advances and decreases, and the time gradually increases. The amount of deviation increases. The step deviation amount acquisition unit 23 acquires the step deviation amount based on the cumulative time deviation amount and the period required to reach the cumulative time deviation amount. The internal time of the electronic clock 1 is adjusted each time it is connected to the mobile terminal 20, and the mobile terminal 20 accumulates and stores the amount of time lag at that time. If the temperature compensation has already been performed before the time deviation amount is acquired, it is advisable to subtract the already corrected correction amount to acquire the step deviation amount. Further, in FIG. 12, the minimum temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 is 24 ° C., the maximum temperature is 29 ° C., and the average temperature is 26. An example of the case where the temperature was 5 ° C. is shown.

第2実施形態においては、歩度ずれ量取得部23が取得した歩度ずれ量は、電子時計1の使用環境の温度が26.5℃における歩度ずれ量(補正値)であると推定する。 In the second embodiment, the step deviation amount acquired by the step deviation amount acquisition unit 23 is estimated to be the step deviation amount (correction value) when the temperature of the usage environment of the electronic timepiece 1 is 26.5 ° C.

なお、ここでは平均温度として、最低温度と最高温度との平均値を用いたが、これに限られるものではなく、電子時計1の使用環境の温度の傾向を示すものであればよい。例えば、温度取得部24が取得した全ての温度の平均値を用いてもよい。また、平均温度に限られるものではなく、温度取得部24が取得した全ての温度の中央値あるいは最頻値を用いてもよい。 Although the average value of the minimum temperature and the maximum temperature is used as the average temperature here, the average temperature is not limited to this, and any temperature tendency of the operating environment of the electronic clock 1 may be used. For example, the average value of all the temperatures acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 may be used. Further, the temperature is not limited to the average temperature, and the median value or the mode value of all the temperatures acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 may be used.

第2実施形態においては、電子時計1の使用環境の温度の傾向と、推定される補正値とに基づいて、温度補償条件の精度を向上させる。具体的には、水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性に対して、現在推定されている水晶振動子40の温度特性の合わせ込み(修正)を行う。以下、水晶振動子40の現在推定されている温度特性を、保持温度特性と呼ぶこととする。生成部27は、使用環境の温度の傾向と歩度ずれ量に基づいて、保持温度特性を修正した新たな保持温度特性、及び修正後の保持温度特性に応じた温度補償条件を生成する。なお、温度補償条件は、保持温度特性を示す二次曲線に対して横軸を対称軸として線対称の二次曲線で表すことができる。生成された温度補償条件は、温度補償条件記憶部25に記憶される。そして、切替部26が最も精度の高い最新の温度補償条件を選択するとよい。また、切替部26が選択した温度補償条件を、近距離無線通信により携帯端末20から電子時計1に送信するとよい。 In the second embodiment, the accuracy of the temperature compensation condition is improved based on the temperature tendency of the usage environment of the electronic clock 1 and the estimated correction value. Specifically, the currently estimated temperature characteristics of the crystal oscillator 40 are adjusted (corrected) with respect to the actual temperature characteristics of the crystal oscillator 40. Hereinafter, the currently estimated temperature characteristic of the crystal unit 40 will be referred to as a holding temperature characteristic. The generation unit 27 generates a new holding temperature characteristic in which the holding temperature characteristic is modified, and a temperature compensation condition according to the modified holding temperature characteristic, based on the temperature tendency of the usage environment and the amount of step deviation. The temperature compensation condition can be represented by a line-symmetrical quadratic curve with the horizontal axis as the axis of symmetry with respect to the quadratic curve showing the holding temperature characteristic. The generated temperature compensation condition is stored in the temperature compensation condition storage unit 25. Then, the switching unit 26 may select the latest temperature compensation condition with the highest accuracy. Further, the temperature compensation condition selected by the switching unit 26 may be transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 to the electronic watch 1 by short-range wireless communication.

以下、図13〜図20を参照して、複数回合わせ込みを行うことにより、保持温度特性が、水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性に近づいていく様子を説明する。図13は、第2実施形態における水晶振動子の保持温度特性と実際の温度特性を示す図である。図14〜図20は、第2実施形態における保持温度特性の合わせ込みについて説明する図である。 Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 13 to 20, it will be described how the holding temperature characteristic approaches the actual temperature characteristic of the crystal oscillator 40 by performing the adjustment a plurality of times. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the holding temperature characteristic and the actual temperature characteristic of the crystal unit in the second embodiment. 14 to 20 are views for explaining the integration of the holding temperature characteristics in the second embodiment.

図13において、2次曲線T1は保持温度特性を示し、2次曲線Rは実際の水晶振動子40の温度特性を示す。水晶振動子40は、使用環境の温度に応じて、発振周波数が変動する。使用環境の温度に応じて変動する発振周波数の傾向を予め予測し、温度補償条件の設定が行われるが、製造時における水晶振動子40の温度特性Rの予測の精度には限界がある。また、電子時計1を修理した場合等、水晶振動子40の温度特性Rが変動してしまう場合もある。そのため、実際の水晶振動子40の温度特性に対して、予め設定される温度補償条件がずれてしまう場合がある。実際の水晶振動子40の温度特性と、温度補償条件とがずれていた状態においては、精度の高い温度補償を行うことができない。図13においては、水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性Rと、予め設定される保持温度特性T1とがずれた状態を示している。 In FIG. 13, the quadratic curve T1 shows the holding temperature characteristic, and the quadratic curve R shows the actual temperature characteristic of the crystal unit 40. The oscillation frequency of the crystal oscillator 40 fluctuates according to the temperature of the usage environment. The tendency of the oscillation frequency that fluctuates according to the temperature of the usage environment is predicted in advance, and the temperature compensation conditions are set, but the accuracy of the prediction of the temperature characteristic R of the crystal oscillator 40 at the time of manufacturing is limited. In addition, the temperature characteristic R of the crystal oscillator 40 may fluctuate when the electronic clock 1 is repaired. Therefore, the preset temperature compensation conditions may deviate from the actual temperature characteristics of the crystal unit 40. If the actual temperature characteristics of the crystal unit 40 and the temperature compensation conditions deviate from each other, it is not possible to perform highly accurate temperature compensation. FIG. 13 shows a state in which the actual temperature characteristic R of the crystal unit 40 and the preset holding temperature characteristic T1 deviate from each other.

なお、第2実施形態においては、水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性を表す関数が予め分かっている場合の例について説明する。すなわち、水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性を、y=f(x)=−a×(x−c)+b(温度がcの時、歩度ずれが最も小さく、その値がd)との二次関数で表した場合、保持温度特性は、y=f(x)=−a×(x−d)+e(温度dの時、歩度ずれが最も小さく、その値がe)との二次関数で表すとする。 In the second embodiment, an example will be described in which a function representing the actual temperature characteristics of the crystal unit 40 is known in advance. That is, the actual temperature characteristic of the crystal transducer 40 is y = f (x) = −a × (x−c) 2 + b (when the temperature is c, the step deviation is the smallest and the value is d). When expressed by a quadratic function, the holding temperature characteristic is y = f (x) = −a × (x−d) 2 + e (at temperature d, the step deviation is the smallest and its value is e). It is expressed by the following function.

図14〜図20において、温度取得部24が取得した最高温度を「Max」、最低温度を「Min」、最高温度と最低温度の平均温度を「Tgt」と示す。また、図14〜図20に示す点Aは、図12を参照して説明した、温度取得部24が取得した平均温度における歩度ずれ量を示す。 In FIGS. 14 to 20, the maximum temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 is indicated by “Max”, the minimum temperature is indicated by “Min”, and the average temperature of the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature is indicated by “Tgt”. Further, points A shown in FIGS. 14 to 20 indicate the amount of step deviation at the average temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24, which was described with reference to FIG.

第2実施形態においては、点Aに応じて保持温度特性を修正し、その修正を複数回行うことにより、保持温度特性を徐々に、水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性に近づける。具体的には、第2実施形態においては、点Aを通る保持温度特性の法線L上において、保持温度特性を所定量移動させた。ここで、移動方向(修正方向)のベクトルをVとし、ベクトルVに適当な係数α(0<α<1)を乗じた値αVの絶対値を移動量(修正量)とした。 In the second embodiment, the holding temperature characteristic is modified according to the point A, and the modification is performed a plurality of times to gradually bring the holding temperature characteristic closer to the actual temperature characteristic of the crystal unit 40. Specifically, in the second embodiment, the holding temperature characteristic is moved by a predetermined amount on the normal L of the holding temperature characteristic passing through the point A. Here, the vector of the moving direction (correction direction) was defined as V, and the absolute value of the value αV obtained by multiplying the vector V by an appropriate coefficient α (0 <α <1) was defined as the moving amount (correction amount).

図14に示す保持温度特性T2は、保持温度特性T1を、点Aを通る保持温度特性T1の法線L上で所定量移動させたものである。このような移動を繰り返すことにより、保持温度特性は、水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性に近づくよう修正される。 The holding temperature characteristic T2 shown in FIG. 14 is obtained by moving the holding temperature characteristic T1 by a predetermined amount on the normal line L of the holding temperature characteristic T1 passing through the point A. By repeating such movement, the holding temperature characteristic is corrected so as to approach the actual temperature characteristic of the crystal unit 40.

図15に示す保持温度特性T3は、保持温度特性T2を、点Aを通る保持温度特性T2の法線L上で所定量移動させたものである。図16に示す保持温度特性T4は、保持温度特性T3を、点Aを通る保持温度特性T3の法線L上で所定量移動させたものである。図17に示す保持温度特性T5は、保持温度特性T4を、点Aを通る保持温度特性T4の法線L上で所定量移動させたものである。図18に示す保持温度特性T6は、保持温度特性T5を、点Aを通る保持温度特性T5の法線L上で所定量移動させたものである。図19に示す保持温度特性T7は、保持温度特性T6を、点Aを通る温度補償条件T6の法線L上で所定量移動させたものである。図20に示す保持温度特性T8は、保持温度特性T7を、点Aを通る保持温度特性T7の法線L上で所定量移動させたものである。 The holding temperature characteristic T3 shown in FIG. 15 is obtained by moving the holding temperature characteristic T2 by a predetermined amount on the normal line L of the holding temperature characteristic T2 passing through the point A. The holding temperature characteristic T4 shown in FIG. 16 is obtained by moving the holding temperature characteristic T3 by a predetermined amount on the normal line L of the holding temperature characteristic T3 passing through the point A. The holding temperature characteristic T5 shown in FIG. 17 is obtained by moving the holding temperature characteristic T4 by a predetermined amount on the normal line L of the holding temperature characteristic T4 passing through the point A. The holding temperature characteristic T6 shown in FIG. 18 is obtained by moving the holding temperature characteristic T5 by a predetermined amount on the normal line L of the holding temperature characteristic T5 passing through the point A. The holding temperature characteristic T7 shown in FIG. 19 is obtained by moving the holding temperature characteristic T6 by a predetermined amount on the normal line L of the temperature compensation condition T6 passing through the point A. The holding temperature characteristic T8 shown in FIG. 20 is obtained by moving the holding temperature characteristic T7 by a predetermined amount on the normal line L of the holding temperature characteristic T7 passing through the point A.

以上説明したように、温度取得部24が取得した平均温度における歩度ずれ量に応じて、保持温度特性を繰り返し修正することにより、保持温度特性は、水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性に近いものとなる。このように修正した保持温度特性に基づく温度補償条件を用いて、温度補償を行うことにより、水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性に応じた精度の高い温度補償を行うことが可能となる。なお、ここで説明した保持温度特性の修正量や修正方向は一例であり、これに限られるものではない。保持温度特性の修正量や修正方向は、温度取得部24が取得した使用環境の温度の傾向と、歩度ずれ量取得部23が取得した歩度ずれ量に基づいて、設定されるものであればよい。 As described above, the holding temperature characteristic is close to the actual temperature characteristic of the crystal oscillator 40 by repeatedly correcting the holding temperature characteristic according to the step deviation amount at the average temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24. It becomes. By performing temperature compensation using the temperature compensation conditions based on the holding temperature characteristics modified in this way, it is possible to perform highly accurate temperature compensation according to the actual temperature characteristics of the crystal unit 40. The correction amount and correction direction of the holding temperature characteristics described here are examples, and are not limited to these. The correction amount and correction direction of the holding temperature characteristic may be set based on the temperature tendency of the usage environment acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24 and the rate deviation amount acquired by the rate deviation amount acquisition unit 23. ..

第2実施形態においては、電子時計1を継続的に使用するに伴い、温度補償条件の精度が最適化されていく。これにより、製品の出荷前の水晶振動子40の温度特性の予測の精度に関わらず、精度の高い温度補償を行うことができる。また、メーカー等が電子時計1を出荷する前に予め水晶振動子40の温度特性を予測し、その温度特性に応じた温度補償条件を生成しなくても、精度の高い温度補償を行うことができることとなる。そのため、出荷前におけるメーカー等の負担が軽減され、また、水晶振動子の温度特性が不明な新製品等を早期に出荷することが可能となる。 In the second embodiment, the accuracy of the temperature compensation condition is optimized as the electronic clock 1 is continuously used. As a result, highly accurate temperature compensation can be performed regardless of the accuracy of predicting the temperature characteristics of the crystal unit 40 before the product is shipped. Further, it is possible to perform highly accurate temperature compensation even if the manufacturer or the like predicts the temperature characteristics of the crystal oscillator 40 in advance before shipping the electronic watch 1 and does not generate the temperature compensation conditions corresponding to the temperature characteristics. You will be able to do it. Therefore, the burden on the manufacturer or the like before shipment is reduced, and it is possible to ship a new product or the like whose temperature characteristics of the crystal oscillator are unknown at an early stage.

第2実施形態においては、電子時計1が一定期間使用された場合、現在の電子時計1の月差がいくらであるかユーザに通知する構成にするとよい。また、電子時計1と携帯端末20との通信接続の回数が少なく、温度補償の精度が十分でない場合は、ユーザに対して接続を促す通知を行う構成にするとよい。それら通知は、例えば、携帯端末20又は電子時計1が備えるディスプレイに表示することで、ユーザが確認できる構成にするとよい。 In the second embodiment, when the electronic clock 1 is used for a certain period of time, the user may be notified of the monthly difference of the current electronic clock 1. Further, when the number of communication connections between the electronic watch 1 and the mobile terminal 20 is small and the accuracy of temperature compensation is not sufficient, it is preferable to configure the configuration to notify the user to connect. The notifications may be displayed on a display included in the mobile terminal 20 or the electronic clock 1, for example, so that the user can confirm them.

また、第2実施形態においては、水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性を表す二次関数が予め分かっている場合について説明したが、これに限られるものではない。すなわち、水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性を表す曲線の形状が予め分かっていない場合においても、測定した温度と歩度ずれ量から、保持温度特性を生成してもよい。以下、図21を参照して、第2実施形態の変形例として具体的に説明する。 Further, in the second embodiment, the case where the quadratic function representing the actual temperature characteristic of the crystal oscillator 40 is known in advance has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, even when the shape of the curve representing the actual temperature characteristic of the crystal unit 40 is not known in advance, the holding temperature characteristic may be generated from the measured temperature and the amount of step deviation. Hereinafter, a modified example of the second embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 21.

図21は、第2実施形態の変形例における水晶振動子の保持温度特性と実際の温度特性を示す図である。 FIG. 21 is a diagram showing the holding temperature characteristic and the actual temperature characteristic of the crystal unit in the modified example of the second embodiment.

例えば、図12を参照して説明した、温度取得部24が取得した平均温度における歩度ずれ量に関する測定データを複数取得し、生成部27がその測定データを二次元プロットし、プロットした複数の点を繋ぐことにより保持温度特性を表す曲線を推定し、生成するとよい。図21は、測定データを6つ取得し、それらを繋いで保持温度特性Tを表す曲線を生成する例について示す。 For example, a plurality of measurement data regarding the amount of step deviation at the average temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 24, which was described with reference to FIG. 12, are acquired, and the generation unit 27 two-dimensionally plots the measurement data and plots the plurality of points. It is advisable to estimate and generate a curve representing the holding temperature characteristics by connecting the above. FIG. 21 shows an example in which six measurement data are acquired and they are connected to generate a curve representing the holding temperature characteristic T.

または、水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性Rを2次多項式や3次多項式等、所定のN次多項式(Nは1以上の自然数)で示すことができると仮定した上で、上記と同様に測定データを複数取得し、生成部27がその測定データを二次元プロットし、回帰分析することにより保持温度特性Tを生成するとよい。なお、3次多項式で表すことができる温度特性を有する発振子又は発振器としては、例えば、ATカット型の水晶振動子等があり、1次多項式で表すことができる温度特性を有する発振子又は発振器として、例えば、セラミック発振子(例えば、セラロック(登録商標))等がある。なお、複数取得した測定データのそれぞれに重み付けを行った上で回帰分析してもよい。例えば、温度の平均値を取得した際の、温度の最大値と最小値との差が一定以上の場合は、その測定データに関する重みを低くする、又は無効なデータとして使用しなくてもよい。また、例えば、取得日の古い取得データについては重みを低くする、又は無効なデータとして使用しなくてもよい。 Alternatively, on the assumption that the actual temperature characteristic R of the crystal transducer 40 can be represented by a predetermined Nth-order polynomial (N is a natural number of 1 or more) such as a quadratic polynomial or a cubic polynomial, the same as above. It is preferable to acquire a plurality of measurement data, and the generation unit 27 plots the measurement data in two dimensions and performs regression analysis to generate the holding temperature characteristic T. Examples of the oscillator or oscillator having a temperature characteristic that can be represented by a cubic polynomial include an AT-cut type crystal oscillator and the like, and an oscillator or oscillator having a temperature characteristic that can be represented by a first-order polynomial. For example, there is a ceramic oscillator (for example, Ceralock (registered trademark)) and the like. Regression analysis may be performed after weighting each of the plurality of acquired measurement data. For example, when the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the temperature when the average value of the temperature is acquired is more than a certain value, the weight of the measured data may be lowered or it may not be used as invalid data. Further, for example, it is not necessary to lower the weight of the acquired data having an old acquisition date or use it as invalid data.

このように保持温度特性Tに関する曲線を生成した上で、図13〜図20を参照して説明したのと同様に水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性Rに対して保持温度特性Tの合わせ込みを行うことで、電子時計1の使用開始当初における温度補償の精度は十分ではないが、使用を継続することにより、高い精度の温度補償を行うことができる。 After generating the curve related to the holding temperature characteristic T in this way, the holding temperature characteristic T is adjusted to the actual temperature characteristic R of the crystal oscillator 40 in the same manner as described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 20. However, the accuracy of the temperature compensation at the beginning of the use of the electronic clock 1 is not sufficient, but the temperature compensation with high accuracy can be performed by continuing the use.

なお、第2実施形態で説明した保持温度特性の修正を、第1実施形態に組み合わせて行ってもよい。すなわち、温度補償条件記憶部25に複数の温度補償条件を記憶させておき、複数の温度補償条件のうち使用環境の温度に適した温度補償条件を切替部26が選択し、さらに、選択された温度補償条件に対応する保持温度特性を水晶振動子40の実際の温度特性に対して合わせ込みを行うとよい。これにより、より精度の高い温度補償を行うことが可能となる。 The modification of the holding temperature characteristic described in the second embodiment may be performed in combination with the first embodiment. That is, a plurality of temperature compensation conditions are stored in the temperature compensation condition storage unit 25, and the switching unit 26 selects, and further selects, the temperature compensation condition suitable for the temperature of the operating environment among the plurality of temperature compensation conditions. It is advisable to adjust the holding temperature characteristics corresponding to the temperature compensation conditions to the actual temperature characteristics of the crystal oscillator 40. This makes it possible to perform more accurate temperature compensation.

また、第2実施形態の変形例で説明した保持温度特性の生成を、第1実施形態に組み合わせて行ってもよい。すなわち、生成部27が、測定データを二次元プロットし、保持温度特性を表す二次関数を生成し、その二次関数に基づいて温度測定部38が測定した使用環境の温度の傾向が、温度区間が密な領域に対応するような温度補償条件を生成するとよい。 Further, the generation of the holding temperature characteristic described in the modified example of the second embodiment may be performed in combination with the first embodiment. That is, the generation unit 27 plots the measurement data in two dimensions, generates a quadratic function representing the holding temperature characteristic, and the temperature tendency of the usage environment measured by the temperature measurement unit 38 based on the quadratic function is the temperature. It is advisable to generate temperature compensation conditions that correspond to regions with dense sections.

なお、上記実施形態では、携帯端末20が、温度補償条件を生成する例について説明したが、これに限られるものではなく、携帯端末20が、ネットワークを介して、温度補償条件を記憶するデータベースを有するサーバにアクセスし、そのデータベースから温度補償条件を取得する構成であってもよい。その場合、例えば、メーカー等が管理するサーバに設けられる生成部が、複数のユーザが使用する同様の温度特性を有する水晶振動子40を備える電子時計1のそれぞれから、使用環境の温度及び歩度ずれに関するデータを取得し、取得したデータに基づいて、温度補償条件を生成するとよい。具体的には、複数のユーザが使用する電子時計1のそれぞれから取得したデータに基づいて、回帰分析等を行うことにより、温度補償条件を生成するとよい。そして、生成した温度補償条件を、複数のユーザが使用する各電子時計1と通信接続可能な各携帯端末20に対して配信し、携帯端末20が有する温度補償条件記憶部25に記憶させるとよい。これにより、新製品など、水晶振動子40の温度特性を予め予測することができない場合においても、精度のよい温度補償条件を生成することが可能となる。また、電子時計1と携帯端末20との接続頻度が少ないユーザに対しても、精度のよい温度補償条件を提供することが可能となる。 In the above embodiment, an example in which the mobile terminal 20 generates the temperature compensation condition has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the mobile terminal 20 stores a database for storing the temperature compensation condition via the network. The configuration may be such that the server is accessed and the temperature compensation conditions are acquired from the database. In that case, for example, the generation unit provided in the server managed by the manufacturer or the like deviates from each of the electronic clocks 1 provided with the crystal oscillator 40 having the same temperature characteristics used by a plurality of users in the temperature and rate of the usage environment. It is advisable to acquire the data regarding the temperature compensation condition and generate the temperature compensation condition based on the acquired data. Specifically, it is preferable to generate the temperature compensation condition by performing regression analysis or the like based on the data acquired from each of the electronic clocks 1 used by the plurality of users. Then, the generated temperature compensation condition may be distributed to each mobile terminal 20 capable of communicating with each electronic clock 1 used by the plurality of users, and stored in the temperature compensation condition storage unit 25 of the mobile terminal 20. .. This makes it possible to generate accurate temperature compensation conditions even when the temperature characteristics of the crystal unit 40 cannot be predicted in advance, such as in a new product. Further, it is possible to provide accurate temperature compensation conditions even to a user whose connection frequency between the electronic watch 1 and the mobile terminal 20 is low.

また、複数のユーザが使用する電子時計1のそれぞれから取得したデータに基づいて、使用環境の温度と補正値との関係を二次関数として連続的に対応付けた情報を取得し、生成部27が、温度測定部38が測定した使用環境の温度の傾向に基づいて、その二次関数から、使用環境の温度と補正値とが離散的に対応付けられる温度補償条件を生成してもよい。具体的には、使用環境の温度の傾向が、温度区間が密の領域に対応するような温度補償条件を生成するとよい。これにより、電子時計1に記憶される情報量を増大することなく、水晶振動子40の使用環境に応じて精度の高い温度補償を行うことが可能となる。 Further, based on the data acquired from each of the electronic clocks 1 used by the plurality of users, the information in which the relationship between the temperature of the usage environment and the correction value is continuously associated as a quadratic function is acquired, and the generation unit 27 However, based on the tendency of the temperature of the usage environment measured by the temperature measuring unit 38, the temperature compensation condition in which the temperature of the usage environment and the correction value are discretely associated with each other may be generated from the quadratic function. Specifically, it is preferable to generate a temperature compensation condition such that the temperature tendency of the usage environment corresponds to a region where the temperature interval is dense. As a result, it is possible to perform highly accurate temperature compensation according to the usage environment of the crystal oscillator 40 without increasing the amount of information stored in the electronic clock 1.
