[0032] Working method:

[0033] Long press button 4 14 to turn the stopwatch on or off. For example, the time limit is set to 45 seconds and the delay is set to 45 seconds:

[0034] Long press button four 14 to turn on the stopwatch. After the stopwatch is turned on, it is in the stopwatch state. Short press button four 14 to enter the setting state, and you can set the stopwatch time. At this time, the stopwatch default limit is 45 seconds. Each time you press button one 11, you can reduce one second. Each time you press button three 13, you can increase one second. Short press button four 14 again to set the delay time. By pressing button one 11 or button three 13, you can reduce or increase one second. Short press button four 14 again to set the total time. At this time, the LCD screen 4 simultaneously displays the three time units of hours, minutes and seconds. By pressing button one 11 or button three 13, you can reduce or increase one hour. Short press button four 14 again to adjust the minute unit. By pressing button one 11 or button three 13, you can reduce or increase one minute. Short press button four 14 again to adjust the second unit. The time is adjusted by one unit. By pressing button one 11 or button three 13, the time can be reduced or increased by one second. Pressing button four 14 again returns to the stopwatch state. Pressing button three 13 starts the stopwatch. Pressing button three 13 again pauses the time. Pressing button one 11 clears the measured stopwatch time and returns to the unmeasured state. Pressing button three 13 again restarts the stopwatch from zero. Taking a time limit of 45 seconds and a delay of 45 seconds as an example, the stopwatch will run the time limit first, then the delay time, and will continue to run until it stops at 90 seconds. When the time shows 34 seconds, the stopwatch vibrates once. When it shows 39 seconds, the stopwatch vibrates again. When it shows 79 seconds, the stopwatch vibrates once. When it shows 84 seconds, the stopwatch vibrates again. That is, the stopwatch vibrates once at the 11th second and the 6th second before the limit time, and the stopwatch delay time also vibrates once. Button 2 12 is used to switch states. When in the stopwatch state, pressing button 2 12 can directly switch to the total time state. Pressing button 2 12 again can directly switch to the stopwatch state.

[0035] After pressing button 3 (13) to start the stopwatch, press button 1 (11) directly before the first vibration to cancel the first two vibrations (the time-limited vibrations). Press button 1 (11) before the second vibration to cancel one vibration (the time-limited vibration).

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the content of the patent application scope of the present invention should fall within the technical scope of the present invention.
