The day when the positive and negative values change is the day that requires caution, and the days before and after that are the days that require semi-care. In other words, in the body's biorhythm, the 1st and 12th days are the days that require attention, the 2nd day, the 11th day, and the 12th day.
The 13th and 23rd days are semi-wary days, the 3rd to 10th days are positive days, and the 14th to 22nd days are negative days.

The outputs of AND circuits 41a-41c, 42a-42c are applied to AND circuits 44a-44c via OR circuits 43a-43c together with signals output from terminals c of decoders 38-40, respectively. Further, the signals outputted from the terminals d of the decoders 38 to 40, together with the Q side output of the flip-flop 23 and each output of the ternary counter 25, are output to the AND circuits 45a to 45.
Added to 5c. Furthermore, the above ternary counter 2
The respective outputs of the flip-flop 23 are applied to AND circuits 46a to 46c together with the Q side output of the flip-flop 23. The outputs of these AND circuits 46a-46c are sent to the driver 5b via OR circuits 47a-47c together with the outputs of AND circuits 44a-44c, respectively. In addition, the AND circuits 45a~
The output of 45c is sent to driver 5a via OR circuit 48. Then, the drivers 5a, 5
The display device 6 is driven by b.

As shown in FIG. 3, the display device 6 consists of an hour display section 51, a minute display section 52, a second display section 53 which also serves as a display of biorhythm information, and a biorhythm display section 54. This biorhythm display section 54 is
It is composed of display bodies of alphabets P, S, and I, and is driven by a driver 5b. That is, the biorhythm display section 54 can display continuously, flash for 1 second, or display continuously depending on the biorhythm content.
Configured to flash for 2 seconds or not be displayed at all.

Next, the operation of the present invention configured as described above will be explained. The time counting unit 3 counts the signal with a period of 1 second output from the frequency dividing circuit 2, and calculates "hour", "minute", and "second".
Obtaining time information for. This time counting section 3
The time information outputted from is applied to an AND circuit 16 via a decoder 4. Since the AND circuit 16 is controlled by the output of the flip-flop 23, under normal conditions, the flip-flop 23 is reset and the "1" signal outputted from its output terminal is supplied to the AND circuit 16. Therefore, the gate of the AND circuit 16 is always open, and the time information output from the decoder 4 is sent to the decoder 5a via the AND circuit 16, and is digitally displayed on the display device 6 as shown in FIG. Is displayed. Figure 3 d shows “10:58:36
This shows that the time is displayed in seconds.
Further, a signal with a period of 1 day output from the counter 15 of the time counting section 3 is inputted to a P counter 34, an S counter 35, and an I counter 36 for biorhythm counting via an AND circuit 32 and OR circuits 33a to 33c. be done. In this case, the gate of the AND circuit 32 is opened by the "1" signal applied via the inverter 37 since the output terminal of the time correction control circuit 22 is normally "0". Therefore, each of the P, S, and I counters 34 to 36
counts the signals sent from the time counter 3 with a period of one day, and obtains biorhythm information regarding the body, emotions, and intellect, respectively. The biorhythm information output from these counters 34-36 is sent to decoders 38-40, respectively, and decoded. These decoders 38-4
0 outputs signals from the terminals a to d according to the input biorhythm information as described above. That is, a "1" signal is output from the terminals a of the decoders 38 to 40 on days requiring caution, from terminals b on days requiring semi-care, and from terminals c on positive days. The caution-required day signals output from the terminal a are sent to AND circuits 41a to 41c, where they are flashed and controlled by a signal with a period of 1 second given from the frequency divider circuit 2, and the quasi-need-to-need day signals are output from the terminal b. The signals are sent to the AND circuits 42a to 42c and the time counter 3
Flushing is controlled by a signal with a period of 2 seconds given from the counter 11 of the OR circuit 4.
Added to 3a-43c. In addition, the decoder 38
The positive day signals outputted from terminals 40 to 40 are directly applied to OR circuits 43a to 43c without being subjected to flashing control. The outputs of these OR circuits 43a to 43c are sent to the driver 5b via AND circuits 44a to 44c and 47a to 47c, which are gate-controlled by the side output of the flip-flop 23, and the driver 5b outputs the signals in the display device 6. The biorhythm display section 54 is driven. However, on negative days, no signal is output from any of the terminals a to d of the corresponding decoder, and the biorhythm display 54 is not displayed. In Figure 3 d, the body's biorhythm indicator P flashes at a 1-second cycle, indicating a day when caution is required.
The emotion biorhythm indicator S flashes every two seconds, indicating a semi-careful day, and the intelligence biorhythm indicator I lights up continuously, indicating a positive day.

Next, operations for time setting and biorhythm setting and their operations will be explained. When setting the time, first, by operating the switch 21a, each of the "hour", "minute", and "second" counters 11 to 10 in the time counter 3 is set.
15 in sequence. Next, when the switch 21d is operated, the operation signal is applied to the input terminal B of the time correction control circuit 22 via the AND circuit 24 since the flip-flop 23 is in the reset state. Therefore, the time counting section 3 is operated by the switch 21d.
The contents of the counter specified by the switch 21a are set according to the number of operations. Thus, the AND circuit 32 is closed by the "0" signal obtained via the inverter 37, and input of the daily cycle signal from the time counter 3 to the biorhythm counting control section 7 is prohibited. During this time setting, the flip-flop 23 is held in a reset state and the gate of the AND circuit 16 is opened, so that the contents of the time counter 3 are sent to the display device 6 and displayed.

When setting biorhythm information, the flip-flop 23 is set by operating the switch 21b. When this flip-flop 23 is set, the output on that side becomes "0" and the AND circuit 2
4, 16 and the gates of AND circuits 44a to 44c are closed, and the Q side output becomes "1", and AND circuits 31a to 31c, 45a to 45c, 46a to
Added to 46c. By closing the gate of the AND circuit 24, input of the setting signal to the time counter 3 is prohibited. Further, by closing the gate of the AND circuit 16, the output of time information sent from the time counter 3 to the driver 5a is prohibited, and the time is no longer displayed as shown in FIGS. 3a to 3c. In this state, if the content of the ternary counter 25 is "1" and a "1" signal is being output from its terminal 1, this counter output is added to the AND circuits 31a, 45a, and 46a, and their gates are open. As a result, the output of the AND circuit 46a becomes "1" and is sent to the driver 5b via the OR circuit 47a, and the biorhythm display P in the display device 6 is lit continuously as shown in FIG. 3a. Further, the contents of the P counter 34 given from the terminal d of the decoder 38 are outputted from the AND circuit 45a, and sent to the driver 5a via the OR circuit 48. This driver 5a is an OR circuit 4
The seconds display portion 53 of the display device 6 is driven as shown in FIG. Third
In Figure a, "P20" is displayed, indicating that the content of the body, that is, the P counter 34, is "20". When the switch 21d is operated in this state, the output of the operation is sent to the P counter 34 via the AND circuit 31a and the OR circuit 33a, and the contents of the P counter 34 are set according to the number of times the switch 21d is operated.

After completing the setting of the P counter 34, operate the switch 21c and count up the contents of the ternary counter 25 by "1". Due to this count up, the output of the counter 25 is transferred from terminal 1 to terminal 2. This time, the S counter 35 system, that is, the emotional biorhythm system is selected and specified. Then, as shown in FIG. 3b, the AND circuit 4
6b causes the emotional biorhythm display S on the display device 6 to be lit continuously, and the content of the S counter 35, for example "26", is displayed on the second display section 53 based on the signal output from the AND circuit 45b. When the switch 21d is operated in this state, the operation output is sent to the S counter 35 via the AND circuit 31b and the OR circuit 33b.
S counter 3 according to the number of operations of switch 21d.
The contents of 5 are set.

Furthermore, when the above-mentioned switch 21c is operated and the contents of the ternary counter 25 are counted up by "1", the output of the counter 25 is transferred from terminal 2 to terminal 3 due to this count up, and the system of the I counter 36, that is, the intelligence A biorhythm system is selected and specified. Then, as shown in FIG. 3c, the intelligence biorhythm display I on the display device 6 is continuously lit by the output of the AND circuit 46c, and the content of the I counter 36, for example, "30 ” is seconds display section 5
3. In this state, switch 21
When d is operated, the operation output is output from the AND circuit 31
c and the OR circuit 33c to the I counter 36, and the contents of the I counter 36 are set according to the number of times the switch 21d is operated. This biorhythm setting information is obtained in advance using a calculator or biorhythm numerical table based on the date of birth and setting date of the watch user.
Once this information is set, no new settings are required until the device becomes inoperable, such as when replacing batteries.

After setting the biorhythm, the switch 21b is operated again to reset the flip-flop 23 to return to the initial state, the time is displayed on the display device 6, and the current state of the biorhythm is displayed on the biorhythm displays P, S, Represented by I.

In this way, in a normal state, along with the time, biorhythm caution days, semi-need caution days, positive days, etc. are displayed by the indicators P, S, and I.
By setting the flip-flop 23 with the switch 21b and operating the switch 21c, the contents of the counters 34 to 36 are sequentially read out and displayed as described above, so that the contents of the biorhythm information can be known.

In the above embodiment, days requiring attention are flashed with a signal having a period of 1 second, and days requiring semi-attention are flashed with a signal having a period of 2 seconds. However, the flashing speed is not limited to the above-mentioned speeds, and other speeds may be used. Of course, it is also possible to perform the flushing with

In the above embodiment, the biorhythm is displayed using P, S, and I indicators, but other indicators such as "body,""sensation," and "intelligence" corresponding to the body, emotion, and intellect can also be used. The biorhythm may be displayed using display bodies of different shapes such as
Furthermore, the contents of the biorhythm may be classified based on the color or brightness of the display. In addition, it is not limited to wristwatches as in the above embodiments, for example,
It may also be used in a small portable electronic computer or the like.

In addition, since the biorhythm display corresponding to the biorhythm information read out is displayed, the biorhythm of the day can be immediately known, and since the biorhythm information can be read out individually, the number of display digits required for biorhythm display is reduced. It is advantageous when applied to small electronic devices with a minimum number of digits of display means, such as electronic wristwatches, and extremely useful effects can be obtained in practice.
