In this embodiment, the map information is not displayed when the user's current position is within the daily activity range, but the map information may be displayed even when the user's current position is within the daily activity range. good. For example, when the user is acting (daily active board), the map information may be displayed.

Further, in the electronic clock 100 of this embodiment, when it is determined that the current position of the user (target person) is not within the daily activity range, information on whether or not the time zone is the user's home time zone is acquired. However, it is controlled so that the display mode of the board changes according to the acquired information (FIGS. 3 (C) to 3 (F)). By doing so, it is possible to display a board and information suitable when the user is out of the daily activity range.

When it is determined that the current position of the user (target person) is not within the daily activity range,
Information on at least one of the time zone and the exercise state of the user may be acquired, and the display mode of the board may be controlled according to the information earned. For example, when the current position of the user (target person) is within the daily activity range, the board is shared regardless of the user's exercise information (whether or not he / she is acting), while the user's current position is the daily activity. If it is out of the range, the board may be switched according to the user's exercise information (whether or not he / she is acting).

Although the date and time display (here, "SUN.6-30") was displayed on all the boards shown in FIGS. 3A to 3E, the date and time display may not be displayed. There may be a board on which the date and time display is not displayed. Further, the user may be able to select on / off of the date and time display.

Further, although the battery remaining amount display 16 is displayed on any board surface, there may be a board surface that is not displayed. Further, instead of the battery remaining amount display 16, other information (for example, calorie consumption information) may be displayed, or the user may be able to select which information is to be displayed.

Further, on the board shown in FIGS. 3A to 3F, the display mode of the long hand and the short hand changes according to the user's situation, but the display mode of the long hand and the short hand does not change. You may do it. Further, the analog clock may be switched to the digital clock according to the user's situation. Further, the second hand 13 may be hidden on a part of the board surface.

In addition, if it is within the daily activity range, if it is outside the daily activity range and the time zone is the home time zone, or if it is outside the daily activity range and outside the home time zone, it is displayed regardless of the user's action determination result. The types of information displayed are the same, but the types of information displayed may be different.

Further, the types of information displayed on each board shown in FIGS. 3A to 3E are examples, and any information may be displayed as long as it can be displayed appropriately according to the user's situation. In addition, the information displayed on each board may be customized by the user. Further, in this embodiment, six types of board surfaces are provided, but the number of types of board surfaces is not limited to this. For example, the number may be smaller than this as long as the display mode of the board is controlled to be different depending on whether or not the user's current position is within the daily activity range.

FIG. 4A shows an example of switching of the board surface. As shown in FIG. 4 (B), assuming that the board number of the daily board (FIG. 3 (A)) is "1" and the board number of the daily active board (FIG. 3 (B)) is "2", FIG. 4 (B) As shown in A), within the daily activity range, the board is switched between the daily board and the daily active board depending on whether the user is acting or stationary.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (B), the board number of the extraordinary home time zone board (FIG. 3 (C)) is "3", and the board number of the extraordinary home time zone active board (FIG. 3 (D)). When is "4", as shown in FIG. 4 (A), it is out of the daily activity range, and in the home time zone, the extraordinary home time zone board and non-daily home time zone depending on whether the user is acting or stationary. The board will be switched between the daily home time zone and the active board.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (B), the board number of the extraordinary home time zone outer board surface (FIG. 3 (E)) is "5", and the board surface of the extraordinary home time zone outer board surface (FIG. 3 (F)). Assuming that the board number is "6", as shown in FIG. 4A, the extraordinary home time zone is out of the daily activity range and outside the home time zone depending on whether the user is acting or stationary. The board surface will be switched between the outer board surface and the active board surface outside the extraordinary home time zone.

As shown in FIG. 4A, since the boundary of the time zone may exist within the daily activity range, the time zone may be switched within the daily activity range. However, if it is within the daily activity range, it is assumed that the effect of displaying the time difference information and the map is weak. Therefore, in this embodiment, the board surface is not switched due to the change of the time zone within the daily activity range. ing. In addition, a board for the home time zone and a board for the outside of the home time zone within the daily activity range are provided, and even within the daily activity range, when the time zone is the home time zone and when it is outside the home time zone, You may switch the board surface.

FIG. 5 is a transition diagram of the board surface. In this embodiment, the board of the electronic clock 100 is switched by triggering the presence / absence of the user's action, the movement inside / outside the user's daily action range, and the switching of the time zone into / out of the home time zone. However, in this embodiment, even if a trigger for switching the board surface occurs, the board surface may not change depending on the board surface at that time.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the case of the daily life board, when the user's action is detected, the board transitions to the daily active board. In the case of the daily active board, when the user's stillness is detected, the board transitions to the daily active board. In the case of the daily board, when the user's movement outside the daily activity range is detected, the screen transitions to the extraordinary home time zone board if the time zone is the home time zone, and extraordinary if the time zone is outside the home time zone. Transition to the outer panel of the home time zone.

In the case of the extraordinary home time zone board surface, when the switching of the time zone to the outside of the home time zone is detected, the transition to the extraordinary home time zone outer panel surface is performed. In the case of the outer board of the extraordinary home time zone, when the switching of the time zone to the home time zone is detected, the screen transitions to the extraordinary home time zone board.

Further, in the case of the extraordinary home time zone board, when the user's action is detected, the screen transitions to the extraordinary home time zone active board. In the case of an extraordinary home time zone active board, when a user's stillness is detected, the board transitions to the extraordinary home time zone board. In the case of the outer board surface of the extraordinary home time zone, when the user's action is detected, the screen transitions to the active board surface outside the extraordinary home time zone. In the case of an active board outside the extraordinary home time zone, when the user's stillness is detected, the board transitions to the extraordinary home time zone outer board.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, in the case of the daily active board, even if the user moves out of the daily activity range, the board does not change and the daily active board is held. In addition, in the case of an extraordinary active board (an extraordinary home time zone active board and an extraordinary home time zone out-of-daily active board), even if the user moves within the daily activity range, the board does not change and the extraordinary active board. Is designed to hold. Further, in the case of an extraordinary active board, the board does not change even if the time zone changes. That is, in the case of an active board (daily active board, extraordinary home time zone active board, and extraordinary home time zone off active board), movement inside and outside the daily activity range and inside and outside the home time zone as a trigger to switch the board. It is designed to limit the time zone switching of the time zone so that it is not detected and keep it in the state before the switching. By doing so, it is possible to reduce manufacturing man-hours, processing load, and battery consumption as compared with the case of constantly monitoring all board switching triggers. If there is a movement inside or outside the daily activity range or a time zone switch between the home time zone and the home time zone on the active board, the triggers are generated after the transition to the board at the time of static detection (daily board, etc.). Will be detectable, and the board will transition to the board corresponding to the detected trigger.

In the case of an active board, the frequency and number of detections are limited instead of not detecting the movement inside and outside the daily activity range and the switching of the time zone to and from the home time zone as a trigger for switching the board. May be good.

In addition, when the board is an active board (daily active board, extraordinary home time zone active board, and extraordinary home time zone off active board), movement inside and outside the daily activity range and inside and outside the home time zone as a trigger to switch the board. At least one of the detections may be detected when the time zone is switched, and the board surface may be switched according to the detection result.

Also, in the case of an active board, the presence or absence of a board switching trigger is not detected, but the presence or absence of a predetermined board switching trigger (movement inside or outside the daily activity range and switching between the time zone inside and outside the home time zone) is not detected. The detection may be performed so as not to determine whether or not the trigger is detected, or even if the trigger is detected, the board surface before the trigger detection may be held. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the processing load of determination and display in the electronic timepiece 100, and it is also possible to suppress battery consumption.

Next, the operation of the electronic clock 100 in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the initial setting process executed by the CPU 110 of the electronic clock 100 in the present embodiment. The initial setting process is a process for setting a home time zone and a daily activity range when the electronic clock 100 is started for the first time. For example, the CPU 110 starts the initial setting process when the electronic clock 100 is started.

In the initial setting process, the CPU 110 first determines whether or not it is the first start (step S11). Whether or not it is the first start may be determined by, for example, the flag for the first start determination that is reset at the time of shipment from the factory or at the time of initialization. If it is not the first startup (step S11; No), the CPU 110 ends the initial setting process.

If it is the first activation (step S11; Yes), the CPU 110 presents a time zone (step S12) and prompts the user to select a home time zone. Then, the CPU 110 waits until there is a home time zone selection operation (step S13).

FIG. 7A is a display example of the home time zone setting screen displayed on the display unit 106 in step S12. As shown in FIG. 7A, the CPU 110 displays a plurality of time zones, a radio button for selecting a time zone, a scroll button, a decision button, and the like on the display unit 106 as a home time zone setting screen. For example, by pressing the enter button on the touch panel, the time zone selected by the radio button is set as the home time zone. The list of time zones may be obtained from, for example, the OS (Operating System) of the microcomputer 101.

As the time zone initially displayed on the home time zone setting screen, if the current position can be specified by the communication unit 103 or the positioning unit 109, the time zone corresponding to the current position may be displayed. Any time zone (for example, sales area) may be set at the time of shipment from the factory.

When there is a home time zone selection operation (step S13; Yes), the CPU 110 sets the selected time zone as the user's home time zone (step S14). In step S14, the CPU 110 may save the selected time zone in a predetermined area of the RAM 111 as a home time zone. If the home time zone selection operation is not performed within the predetermined time, the process related to the home time zone setting may be skipped or the initial setting process may be terminated.

After that, the CPU 110 presents the map around the current position and the daily activity range (step S15), and prompts the user to select the daily activity range. Then, the CPU 110 waits until there is an operation for selecting the daily activity range (step S16). The daily activity range is an action range in the user's daily life, and in this embodiment, the user can set it at the first activation.

FIG. 7B is a display example of the daily activity range setting screen displayed on the display unit 106 in step S15. As shown in FIG. 7B, the CPU 110 displays a peripheral map of the current position, an enlargement / reduction button, a decision button, a cancel button, a daily activity range designation cursor 51, etc. on the display unit 106 as a daily activity range setting screen. .. For example, by moving the daily action range specifying cursor 51 by operating the touch panel, enlarging / reducing and pressing the enter button (check mark), the range selected by the daily action range specifying cursor 51 is set as the daily action range. ..

For example, the map initially displayed on the daily activity range setting screen is displayed centering on the current position most recently acquired by the communication unit 103 or the positioning unit 109, and the daily activity range designation cursor 51 is a distance from the center. (For example, a certain distance within the range of 10 km to 100 km, for example, 25 km) may be designated as a certain range. If the current position has not been acquired at all, an arbitrary point may be displayed, or the user may be prompted to input the current position. Further, in this case, the setting of the daily activity range may be terminated by prompting the user to set the daily activity range later.

When there is a daily activity range selection operation (step S16; Yes), the CPU 110 sets the selected range to the user's daily activity range (step S17). In step S17, the CPU 110 may save the selected range in a predetermined area of the RAM 111 as a daily activity range. If the daily activity range selection operation is not performed within the predetermined time, the process related to the setting of the daily activity range may be skipped or the initial setting process may be terminated.

After that, the CPU 110 displays the daily board surface on the display unit 106 of the electronic clock 110 (step S18), sets 1 to the board surface flag indicating the current board surface (step S19), and ends the initial setting process. The board surface flag is a flag for specifying which is the current board surface, and corresponds to the board surface number shown in FIG. 4 (B). The board flag is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 111, and takes a value of 1 to 6 depending on the current board. In the initial setting process, the daily board surface is displayed as the initial board surface, but the board surface may be displayed according to the situation.

Although an example of setting the home time zone and the daily activity range at the first activation is described here, the setting of the home time zone and the daily activity range at the first activation may be skipped. Then, the user may operate the operation reception unit 108 to set the home time zone and the daily activity range at any timing. In addition, the home time zone and the daily activity range once set may be reset.

Further, although an example in which the user manually sets the home time zone and the daily activity range has been described here, the CPU 110 acquires the current position information and the time zone information of the user (target person) at the first startup, and the home time zone and the time zone information are described. At least one of the daily activity ranges may be automatically set. For example, the CPU 110 may accumulate and store the user's action range, automatically determine the action range in daily life from the accumulated data, and set the determined action range as the user's daily action range. The home time zone and daily activity range automatically set in this way may be reset later by the user. By doing so, the burden on the user can be reduced, and the home time zone and the range of daily activities can be set without bothering the user.

8 to 12 are flowcharts showing an example of the board surface switching process executed by the CPU 110 of the electronic timepiece 100 in the present embodiment. The board surface switching process is a process for switching the board surface displayed on the display unit 106 of the electronic timepiece 100 according to the detected situation. For example, the CPU 110 executes the board surface switching process at a certain cycle (for example, every 10 minutes) after the startup. As a result, it is possible to determine whether or not a trigger for switching the board surface has occurred at each certain cycle, and to switch the board surface at each certain cycle. In this way, since the board surface switching process is executed at a certain cycle, it is possible to prevent the board surface from being frequently switched and becoming annoying. Further, if the current position is constantly specified by the positioning unit 109 or the user's behavior is monitored by the sensor unit 117, the processing load and battery consumption increase, but the board surface switching process is executed every certain cycle. Processing load and battery consumption can be reduced.

In the board surface switching process, the CPU 110 first determines whether or not the board surface flag is 1 corresponding to the daily board surface (step S101). When the board flag is 1 (step S101; Yes), the CPU 110 acquires the information on the current position from the positioning unit 109 and the information on the daily activity range of the user from the RAM 111 (step S106). Then, it is determined whether or not the current position is outside the user's daily activity range (step S107).

When it is determined that the current position is outside the user's daily activity range (step S107; Yes), the CPU 110 acquires the currently set time zone and home time zone from the RAM 111 or the like, and the time zone is the home time. It is determined whether or not it is a zone (step S115).

If the time zone is the home time zone (step S115; Yes), the CPU 110 switches the board of the electronic clock 100 to the extraordinary home time zone board (see FIG. 3C) and displays the board (step S108). 3 is set in the flag corresponding to the board surface of the extraordinary home time zone (step S109), and the board surface switching process is completed.

If the time zone is outside the home time zone (step S115; No), the CPU 110 switches the board surface of the electronic clock 100 to the extraordinary home time zone outer board surface (see FIG. 3E) and displays it (step S116). , 5 corresponding to the outer board surface of the extraordinary home time zone is set in the board surface flag (step S117), and the board surface switching process is completed.

When it is determined that the current position is within the daily activity range of the user (step S107; No), the CPU 110 causes the user to act (walk, run, bicycle) based on the information from the positioning unit 109 and the sensor unit 117. It is determined whether or not (moving, etc.) is performed (step S103). In step S103, for example, when it is detected that the user is continuously moving for a certain period of time based on the information from the positioning unit 109 or the sensor unit 117, or there is a moving distance within a certain time of the user. When it is detected that the distance is longer than the distance, it may be determined that the user is acting. When it is determined that the user is not acting (step S103; No), the CPU 110 ends the board surface switching process. In this case, the board surface remains the daily board surface (board surface flag = 1).

When it is determined that the user is acting (step S103; Yes), the CPU 110 switches the board of the electronic clock 100 to the daily active board (see FIG. 3B) and displays it (step S104), and displays the board flag. 2 corresponding to the daily active board surface is set (step S105), and the board surface switching process is completed.

When the board surface flag is not 1 corresponding to the daily board surface (step S101; No), the CPU 110 determines whether or not the board surface flag is 2 corresponding to the daily active board surface (step S111). When the board flag is 2 (step S111; Yes), the CPU 110 determines whether or not the user is stationary based on the information from the positioning unit 109 and the sensor unit 117 (step S112). In step S112, for example, when it is detected that the user has not continuously moved for a certain period of time based on the information from the positioning unit 109 or the sensor unit 117, or there is a moving distance within a certain time of the user. If it is detected that the distance is less than the distance, it may be determined that the user is stationary. When it is determined that the user is not stationary (step S112; No), the CPU 110 ends the board surface switching process. In this case, the board surface remains the daily active board surface (board surface flag = 2).

When it is determined that the user is stationary (step S112; Yes), the CPU 110 switches the board of the electronic clock 100 to the daily board (see FIG. 3A) and displays it (step S113), and sets the board flag. 1 corresponding to the daily board surface is set (step S114), and the board surface switching process is completed.

If the board flag is not 2 corresponding to the daily active board (step S111; No), the process proceeds to FIG. 9, and the CPU 110 determines whether or not the board flag is 3 corresponding to the extraordinary home time zone board (step S111; No). Step S121). When the board flag is 3 (step S121; Yes), the CPU 110 acquires the information on the current position from the positioning unit 109 and the information on the daily activity range of the user from the RAM 111 (step S129). Then, the CPU 110 determines whether or not the current position is within the daily activity range of the user (step S130).

When it is determined that the current position is within the daily activity range of the user (step S130; Yes), the CPU 110 switches the board surface of the electronic clock 100 to the daily life board surface (see FIG. 3A) and displays it (step S131). ), Set 1 corresponding to the daily board surface to the board surface flag (step S132), and end the board surface switching process.

When it is determined that the current position is outside the user's daily activity range (not within the user's daily activity range) (step S130; No), the CPU 110 determines whether or not the time zone has been switched to the outside of the home time zone. Determination (step S123). In step S123, for example, in the CPU 110, whether or not the communication unit 103 has received the time zone switching notification from the external device (for example, a smartphone) to the outside of the home time zone, or the user operates the operation reception unit 108. Determine if the time zone has been switched out of the home time zone.

When the time zone is switched to the outside of the home time zone (step S123; Yes), the CPU 110 causes the user to act (walk, run, move by bicycle, etc.) based on the information from the positioning unit 109 and the sensor unit 117. ) (Step S133). When it is determined that the user is not acting (step S133; No), the CPU 110 switches the board surface of the electronic clock 100 to the extraordinary home time zone outer board surface (see FIG. 3E) and displays it (step S124). ), Set the board flag to 5 corresponding to the outer board of the extraordinary home time zone (step S125), and end the board switching process.

When it is determined that the user is not acting (step S126; No), the CPU 110 ends the board surface switching process. In this case, the board surface remains the extraordinary home time zone board surface (board surface flag = 3).

When it is determined that the user is acting (step S126; Yes), the CPU 110 switches the board of the electronic clock 100 to the extraordinary home time zone active board (see FIG. 3D) and displays it (step S127). ), Set the board flag to 4 corresponding to the extraordinary home time zone active board (step S128), and end the board switching process.

If the board flag is not 3 corresponding to the extraordinary home time zone board (step S121; No), the process proceeds to FIG. 10, and the CPU 110 determines whether the board flag is 4 corresponding to the extraordinary home time zone active board. Is determined (step S141). When the board flag is 4 (step S141; Yes), the CPU 110 determines whether or not the user is stationary based on the information from the positioning unit 109 and the sensor unit 117 (step S142). When it is determined that the user is not stationary (step S142; No), the CPU 110 ends the board surface switching process. In this case, the board remains as an extraordinary home time zone active board (board flag = 4).

(Step S151). When the board flag is 5 corresponding to the outer board of the extraordinary home time zone (step S151; Yes), the CPU 110 acquires the current position information from the positioning unit 109 and obtains the user's daily activity range information from the RAM 111.

If the time zone is outside the home time zone (step S174; No), the CPU 110 switches the board surface of the electronic clock 100 to the extraordinary home time zone outer board surface (see FIG. 3E) and displays it (step S172). , 5 corresponding to the outer board surface of the extraordinary home time zone is set in the board surface flag (step S173), and the board surface switching process is completed.

By executing the above board surface switching process, it is possible to switch to the board surface according to the user's situation as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 in response to the occurrence of the board surface switching trigger.

In this embodiment, the priority of the board switching trigger is the order of movement judgment inside / outside the daily action range> time zone switching judgment inside / outside the home time zone> user action judgment, and a plurality of triggers are simultaneously set. When it occurs, the board is changed based on the trigger with high priority. That is, the determination as to whether or not it is within the daily activity range is executed with priority over the time zone switching determination and the user's action determination. This makes it possible to prevent an error from occurring even if a plurality of board switching triggers occur. The priority of the trigger is not limited to this order, and may be any order, and the priority may be set by the user.

As described above, the electronic clock 100 (particularly the CPU 110) as the display control device of this embodiment is
An action range acquisition means for acquiring the action range (daily action range, action range in daily life) of the target person (user), and
Judgment means for determining whether or not the current position of the subject is within the acquired action range, and
The display mode when it is determined that the current position of the subject is within the action range and the display mode when it is determined that the current position of the subject is not within the action range are different from each other. A control means for controlling the display mode of the display device (display unit 106 of the electronic clock 100) carried by the target person (execution of display control as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3F), and
To prepare for.
This makes it possible to display a suitable board surface and information according to the user's current position. Further, since the board surface is automatically switched according to the user's situation, the interest of the electronic clock 100 is improved.

The control means is
When it is determined that the current position of the subject is within the range of action, information other than the first information included in the certain information is displayed on the display device (FIGS. 3A and 3B).
When it is determined that the current position of the subject is not within the action range, the first information is included in a certain information and displayed on the display device (FIGS. 3 (C) to (F)).
As a result, it is possible to display a suitable board surface and information according to the user's situation.

The first information is map information (FIGS. 3 (C) to (F)).
As a result, it is possible to display a suitable board surface and information according to the user's situation.

Further equipped with an acquisition means for acquiring at least one of the time zone of the subject's current position and the subject's motor state.
When it is determined that the current position of the subject is not within the range of action, the control means controls the display mode according to at least one of the time zone acquired by the acquisition means and the exercise state of the subject (the control means). FIG. 5).
This makes it possible to display a board and information suitable when the user is out of the daily activity range.

The target person's action range is automatically set based on the information about the current position of the display device at the first activation.
As a result, the burden on the user can be reduced, and the home time zone and the range of daily activities can be set without bothering the user.

The target person's range of action is the range of action of the subject in daily life.
As a result, it is possible to display a suitable board surface and information according to the user's situation, and the interest of the electronic clock 100 is improved.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible, and further features may be added. The processing content and determination method of the flowchart shown in the above embodiment are merely examples, and are arbitrary as long as they can exert the same actions and effects as those in the above embodiment and can suitably change the board surface shown in the above embodiment. It's fine. Further, the display example of the board surface shown in the above embodiment is an example, and can be appropriately changed if the same purpose can be achieved. The configurations described in the above embodiments are not all essential configurations, and some of them may be missing.

In the above embodiment, the trigger for switching the board surface is that three types of conditions such as movement judgment inside and outside the daily action range, time zone switching inside and outside the time zone, and user action judgment are satisfied, but other than these. There may be a trigger for switching the board surface. For example, the board may be switched by a time zone such as daytime, nighttime, or early morning or a day of the week. For example, the user can set the work time zone and the work day in advance, and if it is the work time zone and the work day, the board of the electronic clock 100 becomes the board for business, and if it is not the work time zone and the work day, the electronic clock The board surface of 100 may be a board surface for private use. Then, on at least one of the board surface for business use and the board surface for private use, the board surface may be further switched according to the switching trigger of the board surface of the above embodiment. For example, the board for business has a simple display, and the board does not switch even if a trigger other than the time zone occurs, and the board for private uses the board that switches due to the occurrence of the trigger of the above embodiment (Fig.). 3 (A) to (F)) may be adopted.

In addition, the trigger for switching the board is the first condition regarding the current position of the target person (user) (for example, whether or not it is within the daily activity range), the current position of the target person, and the motion state of the target person. There may be at least two triggers such as a second condition (determination of switching the time zone to / from the home time zone or determination of user behavior) including a condition relating to at least one of them, and there may be two types. For example, if the time zone is out of the daily activity range without executing the time zone switching determination to be inside or outside the home time zone, a common board may be displayed regardless of whether the time zone is the home time zone. ..

Further, when the board surface of the electronic clock 100 is switched, the board surface may be switched so as to change with time by animation. By switching the board surface over time, even if a plurality of board surface switching triggers occur, it is possible to switch to the board surface according to the occurrence of the plurality of board surface switching triggers without discomfort.

Further, when the condition for switching the board surface of the electronic clock 100 is satisfied, that is, when at least one of the first and second conditions is satisfied (established ⇔ not satisfied), the board is switched. It may be notified in advance by vibration or voice. By notifying in this way, it is possible to appeal to the user that the board has been switched, and the interest is improved. This effect can be particularly effectively obtained when the board surface is switched by animation as described above.

Further, based on the operation by the user and the notification result by the sensor unit 117, the display of the display unit 106 is displayed as a normal display by a color liquid crystal display (first display control) and, for example, a power saving display by suppressing power consumption by a monochrome liquid crystal display (second display). It may be possible to selectively switch between (display control) and. In this case, as shown in FIG. 13, when a trigger for switching the board surface of the normal display (board surface flag 1 → 2) occurs during the power saving display (during execution of the second display control), the occurrence of the trigger is stored. Then, when the normal display (first display control) is returned, the board may be switched to a new board to notify the switch of the board. By doing so, even when the power saving display is used, the board surface can be appropriately switched according to the user's situation, and the power consumption can be suppressed.

In this way, the control means (CPU 110 of the electronic clock 100) is
As display control for controlling the display on the display device (display unit 106 of the electronic clock 100), a first display control (normal display) for displaying certain information and a second display control (power saving display) for not displaying certain information. And can be selectively executed,
When a new display mode is selected as the display mode during the execution of the second display control, when the display control is switched from the second display control to the first display control, a certain information is displayed in the new display mode. Is displayed on the display device (FIG. 13).
As a result, even when the second display control (power saving display) is used, the board surface can be appropriately switched according to the user's situation, and the power consumption can be suppressed.

The power saving display (second display control) is not limited to the display by the monochrome liquid crystal display, and may be a display in which power consumption is suppressed by reducing the information to be displayed as compared with the normal display (first display control). However, the display of the display unit 106 may be turned off. Further, the normal display (first display control) may be switched to the power saving display (second display control) according to the remaining battery level.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the display control device and the display device are the electronic watch 100 has been described, but the display control device and the display device may be any display device carried by the target person, and are wearable glasses (smart glasses). , Smartphones, tablet terminals, mobile information terminals and the like. Further, the display control device and the display device may be configured by different devices. For example, the display control of a display device such as an electronic clock carried by the target person may be executed by an external display control device such as a smartphone.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the CPU 110 performs a control operation has been described. However, the control operation is not limited to software control by the CPU 110. Part or all of the control operation may be performed using a hardware configuration such as a dedicated logic circuit.
