A remote control device for an electronic device includes a first storage device for storing a plurality of remote control data for controlling an object remotely, a first selection device for selecting respective remote control data from among the plurality of remote control data stored in the first storage device, and an output device for transmitting the respective remote control data selected by the first selection device toward a remote control receiver of the controlled object. A second storage device is provided for storing frequency data on the frequency of transmission of each remote control data output by the output device, and a data updating device is provided for incrementing the respective frequency data stored in the second storage device responsive to the output device transmitting remote control data. A second selection device responsive to a manual operation key is provided for selecting respective remote control data stored in the first storage device in decreasing order of corresponding frequency data stored in the second storage device, and the output device transmits the respective remote control data selected by the second selection device toward the remote control receiver of the controlled object.

In an azimuth indicating apparatus, there are provided a wind speed measuring unit for measuring a wind speed, an azimuth measuring unit for measuring azimuth, a display unit for displaying wind speeds measured at respective azimuths, and a display control unit for controlling the display unit to display the wind speeds measured at the respective azimuths based on the measurement results of the azimuth measuring unit and the wind speed measuring unit. Accordingly, the blowing direction of the wind is indicated by the azimuth indicating apparatus.

An electronic device for a vehicle detects the number of rotations of a wheel of a vehicle, calculates the distance covered by the vehicle, measures the atmospheric pressure to provide data on the atmospheric pressure, obtains a height corresponding to the measured atmospheric pressure from a height-atmospheric pressure conversion table stored in a RAM on the basis of the measured atmospheric pressure data, calculates an tilt of a road where the vehicle travels on the basis of the height and the measured covered distance, detects a gear corresponding to the calculated tilt from a gear change conversion table, drives a transmission to put the gear in the meshed state. In order to apply a barometer to a weather forecast, an actual height where the vehicle travels is calculated on the basis of data on a tilt of the road measured by an inclinometer attached to the vehicle and the calculated covered distance. A change in the atmospheric pressure due to weather is distinguished from that due to the height to predict weather. The inventive device sets a gear suitable for the road and provides weather prediction, thereby bringing about efficient safe cycling.

An electronic timepiece comprises time count circuit for counting a reference signal to obtain present time data, item data storage for storing a plurality of item data, and external operation switch for inputting at least one of alarm time data and identification data corresponding to the plurality of item data stored in the item data storage. An alarm data storage stores the alarm time data and the identification data input by the external operation switch. A read controller detects a coincidence between the present time data obtained by the time count circuit and the alarm time data stored in the alarm time data storage and for reading out, from the item data storage, item data corresponding to the identification data stored in the alarm time data storage. A display displays the item data read out by the read controller.
