Wireless inductive pointer clock

Abstract

A wireless inductive pointer clock includes a wireless inductive receiver module for receiving a time code, a control circuit module electrically coupled to the wireless inductive receiver module for receiving the time code and converting the time code into a pointer drive signal, a movement electrically coupled to the control circuit module for receiving the pointer drive signal and driving by the control circuit module, and a pointer unit including a plurality of pointers drivable by the movement. The wireless inductive receiver module can receive the time code (hour, minute, second) of a smart phone or tablet computer, enabling the control circuit module to drive the movement and the pointers of the pointer unit so that the time on the wireless inductive pointer clock can be automatically synchronized to the time on the smart phone or tablet.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to clock technology and more particularly, to a wireless inductive pointer clock, which can be automatically synchronized to the time on a smart phone or tablet computer upon approaching of the smart phone or tablet computer.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]A conventional pointer clock generally comprises a dial, a movement, and three hands (the hour hand, the minute hand and the second hand). The second hand, the minute hand and the hour hand are pivotally coupled to the movement, and driven by the movement to indicate the time measured.[0005]Commercial pointer clocks use different appearance designs or dial patterns to attract consumers. However, correcting the position of the hour hand, minute hand or second hand of a conventional pointer clock can simply be achieved manually. When wishing to correct the time on a pointer clock, the user needs to remove the pointer clock from...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables convenient and accurate automatic synchronization of the pointer clock's time with electronic devices, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and reducing interference-related errors.

Problems solved by technology

It is very inconvenient to adjust the indication of time in a conventional pointer clock.

However, the use of a radio-controlled clock may encounter problems.

Further, a radio-controlled clock may be unable to accurately receive the time code transmitted by a radio transmitter due to environmental interferences.
