An electronic timepiece includes a turnable hand and a processor that controls a turn of the hand. When the processor performs a rapid shift of the hand to a set target position, the processor performs a control of a damping of reciprocation of the hand in which the hand performs a predetermined reciprocation about the target position as a reference position and gradually decreases an amplitude of the reciprocation thereof during the rapid shift.

A warning notification device includes a sensor, a notification unit, and a processor. The processor is configured to calculate a water depth from an output of the sensor every predetermined time and to calculate a surfacing amount from a change in the calculated water depth every predetermined time. When a long-term surfacing speed condition, which is to be determined on the basis of the surfacing amounts of a first number, is satisfied or when a short-term surfacing speed condition, which is to be determined on the basis of the recent surfacing amounts of a second number smaller than the first number, is satisfied, the processor enables the notification unit to issue a warning of a surfacing operation.

An altitude information acquiring device includes a measuring unit which measures atmospheric pressure; a wireless communication unit which performs near field communication with an external device; and an altitude information acquiring unit which acquires altitude information from an external positioning device through the wireless communication unit. An inversion detecting unit detects an inversion of a changing direction of the atmospheric pressure periodically measured by the measuring unit, and a communication control unit controls a timing to acquire the altitude information through the wireless communication unit at a set timing, based on the inversion detected by the inversion detecting unit. An integrated altitude change acquiring unit acquires a rise altitude integrated value obtained by integrating an amount of altitude change in a rising direction and a fall altitude integrated value obtained by integrating an amount of altitude change in a falling direction, based on the acquired altitude information.

An atmospheric pressure tendency informing apparatus and atmospheric pressure tendency informing method inform atmospheric pressure tendency. In one implementation, the atmospheric pressure tendency informing apparatus includes: an informing section, an atmospheric pressure measuring section, an atmospheric pressure inflection point judging section and an informing control section. The atmospheric pressure inflection point judging section judges whether there is an inflection point of atmospheric pressure, based on atmospheric pressure values of at least three points of time including an atmospheric pressure value measured at present. The informing control section controls the informing section to inform the inflection point of atmospheric pressure as the atmospheric pressure tendency based on a judgment result when the atmospheric pressure inflection point judging section judges there is an inflection point of atmospheric pressure.

An analog electronic timepiece includes a plurality of hands; a dial plate having scales for time display; a driving unit that drives the hands so that the hands are driven independently of each other; and a control unit that transmits a drive signal to the driving unit and moves the hands to allow the hands to point to positions set for the respective hands. The control unit (i) allows each hand to point to one of positions of one o'clock to nine o'clock and twelve o'clock among the scales to indicate that a digit in a predetermined place represented by each hand is one of '1' to '9' and &#x201c;0&#x201d;; and (ii) expresses a numerical value by a combination of digits corresponding to the respective positions pointed by the respective hands.

The direction display device includes: a wireless communication section to perform near field wireless communication; a barometric pressure measuring section; a converting section to convert barometric pressure into altitude; an orientation measuring section to measure an orientation of a specified direction; an operation section; a display section; a registration controlling section to obtain current positional information from an external positioning device on the basis of a registration instruction of the measured orientation to store the current positional information as registered positional information so as to be correlated to registered orientation information; a registration position extracting section to extract the registered positional information including an altitude value whose difference from the converted altitude is within a predetermined range; and a display controlling section to cause the display section to indicate a direction regarding the registered orientation correlated to the registered positional information.

Direction display device and direction display system

A display apparatus is provided with a display member which is printed in gradations of color from a first color to a second color from one side of the member to other side, and an electro-optical display device having plural dot display sections disposed on the display member. The plural dot display sections are selectively driven, to display characters, images, etc. in gradations of color. The display apparatus which is simple in structure and low in manufacturing cost advantages to improve image and/or character discrimination and is used for an adornment purpose.
