[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] (Communication System Configuration) FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a communication system 1. The communication system 1 (information processing system) includes a smartphone 10 (information processing device) and an electronic watch 20 (watch).

[0012] The electronic timepiece 20 is a wristwatch that is worn on the user's wrist. The electronic timepiece 20 has a display unit 24 on which various information is displayed. The display unit 24 of the electronic timepiece 20 of this embodiment is provided with a first display unit 241 and a second display unit 242 (see Figures 5, 6, and 8 to 12) that each display information such as time in analog format using hands.

[0013] The smartphone 10 is a terminal device that is mainly carried and used by a user, and has a call function, a data communication function, and various information processing functions. The smartphone 10 can perform short-distance wireless communication with the electronic watch 20 using Bluetooth (registered trademark). In this embodiment, BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy) is used as the short-distance wireless communication, but the standard of short-distance wireless communication used is not limited to this. The smartphone 10 corresponds to a central (parent device) in BLE, and the electronic watch 20 corresponds to a peripheral (child device) in BLE. When the smartphone 10 receives an advertising packet from the electronic watch 20 that has been registered in advance (i.e., paired) by exchanging public keys or the like, the smartphone 10 starts data communication with the electronic watch 20 using BLE. An application program (hereinafter, a linking application 131 (see FIG. 2)) for linking with the electronic watch 20 is installed on the smartphone 10. After configuring the electronic watch 20 (such as setting the world time and a destination, which will be described later) on the linking application 131 of the smartphone 10, the smartphone 10 and the electronic watch 20 can be connected for communication so that the settings are reflected in the electronic watch 20. In addition, the smartphone 10 connects to an external data server (not shown) via a mobile phone base station or a wireless LAN access point to obtain the latest information on local time settings, including time zone settings and daylight saving time (DST) implementation settings in various parts of the world.

[0014] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the smartphone 10. As shown in FIG. The smartphone 10 includes a CPU 11 (Central Processing Unit), a RAM 12 (Random Access Memory), a storage unit 13, a display unit 14, an operation unit 15, a built-in clock 16, a satellite radio wave reception processing unit 17 (location information acquisition unit), and a wireless communication unit 18. The various units of the smartphone 10 are connected to each other via a communication path such as a bus.

[0015] The CPU 11 is a processor that controls the operation of the smartphone 10 by reading and executing programs such as the linked application 131 stored in the storage unit 13 and performing various arithmetic processing. The smartphone 10 may have multiple processors (e.g., multiple CPUs), and the multiple processes performed by the CPU 11 of the present embodiment may be executed by the multiple processors. In this case, the processing unit is configured by the multiple processors. In this case, the multiple processors may be involved in a common process, or the multiple processors may independently execute different processes in parallel.

[0016] The RAM 12 provides a working memory space for the CPU 11 and stores temporary data.

[0017] The storage unit 13 is a non-transitory recording medium readable by the CPU 11 as a computer, and stores programs such as the linked application 131 and various data. The storage unit 13 includes a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory. Data stored in the storage unit 13 includes local time setting data 132 (local time setting information), destination data 133 (destination information), position data 134 (position information), schedule data 135 (schedule information), and electronic ticket data 136 (ticket information). In addition to the above, the storage unit 13 also stores various data such as identification data for identifying the paired electronic watch 20.

[0018] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the contents of the local time setting data 132. As shown in FIG. The local time setting data 132 records the time zone (time difference from Coordinated Universal Time) for each city representing each part of the world (regions into which the world is divided, such as a country or part of a country). The local time setting data 132 is generated based on the latest local time setting acquired from the external data server described above. The local time setting data 132 includes daylight saving time information relating to whether daylight saving time is implemented in each city and shift times, but this is omitted in FIG. 3. The time in each city shown in this embodiment is the time during a period when daylight saving time is not applied. During a period when daylight saving time is applied, each time may be corrected based on the daylight saving time information.

[0019] 2 includes information on cities (or regions) scheduled as stays or stopovers in a trip, etc. The destination data 133 is generated by the CPU 11 based on, for example, a departure point and multiple destinations input by the user on the linked app 131.

[0020] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a method for registering a destination and the contents of the destination data 133. As shown in FIG. The left side of FIG. 4 shows the smartphone 10 in a state where a destination registration screen 141 for registering a destination on the linked application 131 is displayed on the display unit 14. The destination registration screen 141 displays a drop-down list 142 for selecting a departure point and a plurality of destinations (here, destination 1 to destination 4) whose moving order is determined, and a register button 143. When the register button 143 is selected with a destination selected in each drop-down list 142, the CPU 11 generates destination data 133 that reflects the contents of the selected departure point and the plurality of destinations. The departure point may be automatically set based on the current position acquired by the satellite radio wave reception processing unit 17 or the like. In the destination data 133 illustrated in FIG. 4, the departure point is Tokyo, destination 1 is Doha, destination 2 is Rome, destination 3 is Singapore, and destination 4 (final destination) is Tokyo.

[0021] The location data 134 shown in FIG. 2 is data indicating the current location of the smartphone 10 calculated by the satellite radio wave reception processing unit 17. The schedule data 135 is data relating to a schedule registered by the user using a predetermined schedule application or the like. The electronic ticket data 136 is data relating to a transportation ticket (for example, an electronic ticket) for traveling between a plurality of destinations in a predetermined travel order. The destination data 133 may be generated based on the schedule data 135 or the electronic ticket data 136. That is, when the departure point and multiple destinations of a planned trip can be identified based on the schedule data 135 or the electronic ticket data 136, the CPU 11 may generate the destination data 133 based on the departure point and multiple destinations.

[0022] The display unit 14 has a display screen, and performs digital display on the display screen under the control of the CPU 11. Here, the display screen is capable of performing display in a dot matrix format, and is, for example, a liquid crystal display screen.

[0023] The operation unit 15 accepts an input operation by the user and outputs an input signal corresponding to the input operation to the CPU 11. The operation unit 15 includes a touch panel provided over the display screen of the display unit 14, and detects contact with a user's finger or the like as an input operation by this touch panel. The operation unit 15 may also include hardware buttons, and may be capable of accepting input operations by this hardware button.

[0024] The built-in clock 16 is a counter that counts and holds the current time. This current time may be counted by software through the operation of the CPU 11 and stored in the RAM 12 or the like. The current time data of the built-in clock 16 is corrected from time data acquired from a base station of a mobile phone communication at any time during communication with the base station by the wireless communication unit 18. The CPU 11 calculates local time (the local time of a certain area) by reading out the current time of the built-in clock 16 and correcting it as necessary according to the time zone and daylight saving time implementation settings. The time information related to this local time is transmitted to the electronic clock 20 when communication is established with the electronic clock 20, which is performed at a predetermined frequency (for example, four times a day), and is used to correct the time in the electronic clock 20.

[0025] The satellite radio wave reception processing unit 17 is a module that receives and decodes radio waves (satellite radio waves) transmitted from positioning satellites of a Global Positioning Satellite System (GNSS: Global Navigation Satellite System) such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) to calculate the current position. The satellite radio wave reception processing unit 17 calculates the current position under the control of the CPU 11 and outputs the result to the CPU 11. In this embodiment, since the user carries the electronic watch 20 together with the smartphone 10, the current position calculated by the satellite radio wave reception processing unit 17 represents the positions of the smartphone 10 and the electronic watch 20. The satellite radio wave reception processing unit 17 can also calculate the date and time from the decoded result of the satellite radio wave. Instead of the time data acquired during communication with the base station described above, time data based on the satellite radio wave may be used.

[0026] The wireless communication unit 18 includes an RF communication module, a short-distance wireless communication module, etc. The RF communication module and the short-distance wireless communication module are communication modules having an antenna, a modulation / demodulation circuit, a signal processing circuit, etc. The RF communication module transmits and receives signals related to telephone and data communications between mobile phone base stations and the RF communication antenna. The RF communication module also connects to a wireless LAN access point and communicates data with various locations on the Internet, including external data servers, via the wireless LAN. The short-range wireless communication module performs short-range wireless communication such as BLE communication with external devices such as the electronic watch 20.

[0027] FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the electronic watch 20. As shown in FIG. The electronic watch 20 includes a CPU 21 (control unit), a RAM 22, a storage unit 23, a first display unit 241, a second display unit 242, an operation unit 25, a timing unit 26, and a wireless communication unit 27. The various units of the electronic watch 20 are connected to each other via a communication path such as a bus.

[0028] The CPU 21 is a processor that controls the operation of the electronic watch 20 by reading and executing the program 231 stored in the storage unit 23 and performing various arithmetic processing. The electronic watch 20 may have multiple processors (e.g., multiple CPUs), and the multiple processes performed by the CPU 21 of this embodiment may be executed by the multiple processors. In this case, the control unit is made up of the multiple processors. In this case, the multiple processors may be involved in a common process, or the multiple processors may independently execute different processes in parallel.

[0029] The RAM 22 provides a working memory space for the CPU 11 and stores temporary data.

[0030] The storage unit 23 is a non-transitory recording medium readable by the CPU 21 as a computer, and stores a program 231 and various data. The storage unit 23 includes a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory. The data stored in the storage unit 23 include local time setting data 232 (local time setting information), destination data 233 (destination information), and position data 234 (position information). The local time setting data 232, destination data 233, and position data 234 are data received from the smartphone 10, and the contents thereof are the same as part or all of the local time setting data 132, destination data 133, and position data 134, respectively. In addition, the storage unit 23 stores various data such as a home region such as a user's residence, and a default city normally selected in the world time function.

[0031] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the first display section 241 and the second display section 242. As shown in FIG. The first display unit 241 has a first pointer group G1 including at least a first hour hand 2411 and a first minute hand 2412. The first hour hand 2411 and the first minute hand 2412 rotate around a central rotation axis A1 provided at the center of the clock face 24S. The first pointer group G1 may have a second hand. The first display unit 241 displays the time in an analog manner using substantially the entire area of ​​the display unit 24 with the first pointer group G1. The second display unit 242 has a second pointer group G2 including at least a second hour hand 2421 and a second minute hand 2422. The second hour hand 2421 and the second minute hand 2422 rotate around a rotation axis A2 different from the central rotation axis A1. The second pointer group G2 may have a second hand (not shown). The second display unit 242 displays the time in a part of the display unit 24 below the center (6 o'clock side) with the second pointer group G2. The first display unit 241 and the second display unit 242 are equipped with a stepping motor for rotating each hour hand and each minute hand (and each second hand if a second hand is included), and a gear train mechanism which is a gear train that transmits the rotation of the stepping motor to each hand to rotate each hand. The electronic timepiece 20 may further include a date wheel for displaying the date and day of the week, and a mode hand for displaying the operating mode, etc.

[0032] The first display unit 241 mainly displays the local time in a pre-registered home area. Furthermore, as described below, when the electronic watch 20 moves from the home area, the first display unit 241 displays the local time in the current location of the electronic watch 20. The second display unit 242 displays the local time (world time) of one region selected from around the world. In the electronic clock 20, a default city for displaying the world time is registered based on a user operation, and the local time of the default city is usually displayed on the second display unit 242. In this embodiment, the home region is Tokyo and the default city is New York. Therefore, in Fig. 6, the first display portion 241 displays the local time in Tokyo, and the second display portion 242 displays the local time in New York.

[0033] The operation unit 25 includes a plurality of operation buttons, and upon receiving a user operation on the operation buttons (for example, pressing an operation button), outputs an operation signal corresponding to each operation button to the CPU 21. In response to the operation signal, the CPU 21 executes a process corresponding to a function assigned to the operation button operated by the user. The operation unit 25 may further include other operation target members such as a crown.

[0034] The timekeeping unit 26 includes an oscillation circuit, a frequency dividing circuit, a timekeeping circuit, etc. In the timekeeping unit 26, the frequency dividing circuit divides the clock signal generated by the oscillation circuit, and the frequency dividing circuit counts the divided signal, thereby deriving and holding the current date and time.

[0035] The wireless communication unit 27 includes a short-distance wireless communication module having an antenna, a modulation / demodulation circuit, a signal processing circuit, etc. The short-distance wireless communication module performs short-distance wireless communication with the smartphone 10, such as BLE communication.

[0036] (Communication System Operation) Next, the operation of the communication system 1 will be described, focusing on the operation of displaying the time on the first display unit 241 and the second display unit 242. In the communication system 1 of this embodiment, when a user carrying the smartphone 10 and the electronic watch 20 moves between destinations in the order of movement registered in the destination data 133, 233, the time displayed by the first display unit 241 and the second display unit 242 of the electronic watch 20 is automatically corrected (amended) according to the current location of the electronic watch 20. In detail, when the CPU 21 of the electronic watch 20 determines that the electronic watch 20 has moved to a destination (first destination) among the multiple destinations in the destination data 233, it acquires information about the destination (here, information identifying the destination that has been reached, such as a city code) and, based on the local time setting data 232, causes the first display unit 241 to display the local time of the destination, and causes the second display unit 242 to display the local time of the next destination (second destination) among the multiple destinations.

[0037] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a user's itinerary and the local time at each destination at each point in the itinerary. The itinerary in Fig. 7 corresponds to the contents of the destination data 133, 233 shown in Fig. 4. In this itinerary, a user carrying the smartphone 10 and electronic watch 20 travels from Tokyo, the departure point, via Doha (destination 1) to Rome (destination 2), and after a stay in Rome, returns to Tokyo, the final destination (destination 4), via Singapore (destination 3). In the following, the time display control will be described using an example in which the user travels along the itinerary shown in FIG.

[0038] Before departing from Tokyo, the starting point, as shown in FIG. 6, the first display unit 241 displays the local time in Tokyo, the home region, and the second display unit 242 displays the local time in New York, the default city.

[0039] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the time display state at the time of departure. When the CPU 21 of the electronic watch 20 determines that a trip from Tokyo, which is the departure point, to multiple destinations 1 to 4 is to start, as shown in FIG. 8, the first display unit 241 continues to display the local time in Tokyo (10:10), while the second display unit 242 displays the local time in Doha, which is the first destination 1 of the multiple destinations (4:10), based on the local time setting data 232. That is, the CPU 21 obtains the time difference (+3 hours) from Coordinated Universal Time in Doha based on the local time setting data 232, and corrects the displayed time on the second display unit 242 so that the time difference is reflected. The method of correcting the time when arriving at each of the following cities is the same. In FIG. 7, the times displayed on the first display unit 241 and the second display unit 242 are surrounded by thick frames (the same applies to each of the following points in time). By changing the displayed time as shown in FIG. 8, the user can check the local time in Doha, which is the next destination, on the second display unit 242.

[0040] The method of determining whether or not movement is started is not particularly limited, but for example, it may be determined that movement is started when the departure date arrives, or when the departure time (time T1 in FIG. 7) or a predetermined time before the departure time arrives. In addition, it may be determined that movement is started when the mode is first switched to "airplane mode" that stops the operation of the wireless communication units 18 and 27 on the departure date. This is because a user usually switches to "airplane mode" when an airplane takes off. When using these determination methods, it is sufficient to register the departure date and departure time in the destination data 133 and 233 in advance. In addition, it may be determined that movement is started when a predetermined user operation is performed to declare the start of movement.

[0041] After departing from Tokyo, the user arrives at Doha, which is destination 1, at time T2 in Fig. 7 after an 11.5-hour flight. When the CPU 21 of the electronic watch 20 determines that the electronic watch 20 has traveled to Doha, it acquires predetermined information about Doha (here, information specifying that the destination is Doha, such as a city code, etc.), and, based on the local time setting data 232, as shown in Fig. 9, displays the local time of Doha (15:40) on the first display unit 241 and displays the local time of Rome (13:40), which is the next destination 2 after Doha among the multiple destinations, on the second display unit 242. In other words, the CPU 21 switches the local time of Tokyo (local time) displayed on the first display unit 241 to the local time of Doha, and switches the local time of Doha displayed on the second display unit 242 to the local time of Rome. 9, the user can check the local time in Doha where he / she is staying on first display unit 241, and can check the local time in Rome, which is the next destination, on second display unit 242. At time T2, destination 1 (Doha) corresponds to the "first destination," and destination 2 (Rome) corresponds to the "second destination."

[0042] If the current location indicated by the location data 234 received from the smartphone 10 is within Doha or a specified area to which Doha belongs, the CPU 21 of the electronic timepiece 20 determines that the electronic timepiece 20 has moved to Doha. In detail, the CPU 21 of the electronic watch 20 transmits an advertising packet for starting a communication connection with the smartphone 10 at regular time intervals (for example, every few minutes to every tens of minutes). The CPU 11 of the smartphone 10 that receives the advertising packet initiates a communication connection with the electronic watch 20 and transmits to the electronic watch 20 position data 134 (234) including the latest position information calculated by the satellite radio wave reception processing unit 17. The CPU 21 of the electronic watch 20 determines that the electronic watch 20 has moved to Doha if the current position indicated by the received position data 234 is within Doha or a specified area to which Doha belongs.

[0043] If the electronic watch 20 has a configuration capable of acquiring location information, such as a satellite radio wave reception processing unit, it may determine whether or not the user has arrived in Doha based on the current location information acquired by that configuration. It may also be determined that the user has arrived in Doha when a specific user operation is performed to declare that the user has arrived in Doha, without using location information.

[0044] As shown in Fig. 7, the user departs from Doha at time T3 after a three-hour stay in Doha, and arrives at Rome, which is destination 2, at time T4 after a six-hour flight. When the CPU 21 of the electronic watch 20 determines that the electronic watch 20 has moved to Rome, it acquires predetermined information about Rome (here, information specifying that the destination is Rome, such as a city code, etc.), and, based on the local time setting data 232, as shown in Fig. 10, displays the local time of Rome (10:40 p.m.) on the first display unit 241 and displays the local time of Singapore (5:40 a.m.), which is the next destination 2 after Rome among the multiple destinations, on the second display unit 242. In other words, the CPU 21 switches the local time (local time) of Doha displayed on the first display unit 241 to the local time of Rome, and switches the local time of Rome displayed on the second display unit 242 to the local time of Singapore. 10, the user can check the local time in Rome where the user is staying on first display unit 241, and can check the local time in Singapore, the next destination, on second display unit 242. At time T4, destination 2 (Rome) corresponds to the "first destination," and destination 3 (Singapore) corresponds to the "second destination."

[0045] The user departs from Rome at time T5 after staying in Rome for 3 days and 18 hours, and arrives at Singapore, which is destination 3, at time T6 after a 12-hour flight. When the CPU 21 of the electronic watch 20 determines that the electronic watch 20 has moved to Singapore, it acquires predetermined information about Singapore (here, information identifying the destination as Singapore, such as a city code, etc.), and, as shown in FIG. 11, based on the local time setting data 232, displays the local time of Singapore (11:40) on the first display unit 241 and displays the local time of Tokyo (12:40), which is the next destination 4 after Singapore among the multiple destinations, on the second display unit 242. In other words, the CPU 21 switches the local time of Rome (local time) displayed on the first display unit 241 to the local time of Singapore, and switches the local time of Singapore displayed on the second display unit 242 to the local time of Tokyo. 11, the user can check the local time in Singapore where he / she is staying on first display unit 241, and can check the local time in Tokyo, which is the next destination, on second display unit 242. At time T6, destination 3 (Singapore) corresponds to the "first destination" and destination 4 (Tokyo) corresponds to the "second destination."

[0046] The user departs from Singapore at time T7 after a two-hour stay in Singapore, and arrives at destination 4, i.e., Tokyo, the final destination, at time T8 after a seven-hour flight. When the CPU 21 of the electronic watch 20 determines that the electronic watch 20 has moved to Tokyo, it acquires predetermined information about Tokyo (here, information specifying that the destination is Tokyo, such as a city code, etc.), and displays the local time (21:40) of Tokyo, the final destination, on the first display unit 241 based on the local time setting data 232, as shown in FIG. 12. When the user arrives at the final destination, there is no next destination, so the CPU 21 displays the local time (7:40) of New York, the default city, on the second display unit 242. In other words, the CPU 21 switches the local time (local time) of Singapore displayed on the first display unit 241 to the local time of Tokyo, and switches the local time of Tokyo displayed on the second display unit 242 to the local time of New York. If the final destination is different from the home region, the second display unit 242 may display the local time of the home region when the vehicle arrives at the final destination.

[0047] Next, the time display process executed by the CPU 21 of the electronic clock 20 to realize the above operation will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a control procedure for the time display process. When the time display process is started, the CPU 21 displays the local time of Tokyo, which is the home region, on the first display unit 241, and displays the local time of New York, which is the default city, on the second display unit 242 (step S101). The CPU 21 starts a communication connection with the smartphone 10 and acquires the destination data 233 (step S102). The CPU 21 repeatedly determines whether or not movement from the departure point is to be started (step S103). As described above, for example, the CPU 21 determines that movement is to be started when the departure date arrives. If it is determined that movement is to be started, the CPU 21 refers to the local time setting data 232 and displays the local time of the first destination on the second display unit 242 (step S104).

[0048] The CPU 21 assigns "1" to a variable n representing the ordinal number of the destination (step S105). The CPU 21 transmits an advertisement packet to establish a communication connection with the smartphone 10, and acquires (receives) the position data 234 from the smartphone 10 (step S106). The CPU 21 determines whether or not the n-th destination has been reached based on the acquired position data 234 (step S107). Here, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the destination has been reached based on whether or not the current position represented by the position data 234 is within the n-th destination. If it is determined that the n-th destination has not been reached ("NO" in step S107), the CPU 21 returns the process to step S106. If it is determined that the n-th destination has been reached ("YES" in step S107), the CPU 21 determines whether or not the n-th destination is the final destination (step S108). If it is determined that the nth destination is not the final destination ("NO" in step S108), the CPU 21 acquires the above-mentioned predetermined information regarding the nth destination, and based on the local time setting data 232, causes the first display unit 241 to display the local time of the nth destination, and also causes the second display unit 242 to display the local time of the (n+1)th destination (step S109). The CPU 21 assigns "n+1" to the variable n (step S110), and returns the process to step S106.

[0049] In step S108, when it is determined that the n-th destination is the final destination ("YES" in step S108), the CPU 21 acquires the above-mentioned predetermined information related to the final destination, and displays the local time of the final destination on the first display unit 241 and the local time of the default city on the second display unit 242 (step S111). When step S111 ends, the CPU 21 ends the time display process.

[0050] 13, the destination data 233 is acquired only once in step S102, but instead, the latest destination data 233 may be acquired repeatedly from the smartphone 10 at a predetermined timing (for example, every time it is determined in step S107 that the n-th destination has been reached, or periodically) and updated. This makes it possible to deal with cases where the schedule is updated in the smartphone 10 and the itinerary is changed midway.

[0051] (Variation 1) Next, a first modified example of the above embodiment will be described. Below, differences from the above embodiment will be described, and a description of commonalities with the above embodiment will be omitted. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the display unit 24 of the electronic timepiece 20 according to the first modification. The display unit 24 of the electronic timepiece 20 of this modified example includes a third display unit 243 of approximately the same size as the second display unit 242, in addition to the first display unit 241 and the second display unit 242. The third display unit 243 has a third pointer group G3 including at least a third hour hand 2431 and a third minute hand 2432. The third hour hand 2431 and the third minute hand 2432 rotate about a rotation axis A3 different from the central rotation axis A1 and the rotation axis A2. The third pointer group G3 may have a second hand. The third display unit 243 displays the time in an analog format in a part above the center of the display unit 24 (on the 12 o'clock side) using the third pointer group G3.

[0052] As in the above embodiment, when the CPU 21 of the electronic watch 20 determines that the electronic watch 20 has moved to a first destination, it acquires predetermined information about the first destination and causes the first display unit 241 to display the local time of the first destination and the second display unit 242 to display the local time of the second destination following the first destination. Furthermore, the CPU 21 causes the third display unit 243 to display the local time of the third destination following the second destination. Fig. 14 shows the time display at time T2 in Fig. 7. At time T2, the user has arrived in Doha, which corresponds to the "first destination", Rome to the "second destination", and Singapore to the "third destination". Therefore, CPU 21 causes first display unit 241 to display the local time in Doha (15:40), second display unit 242 to display the local time in Rome (13:40), and third display unit 243 to display the local time in Singapore (20:40).

[0053] The third display unit 243 may display the local time of the home region instead of the local time of the third destination. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an aspect in which the third display unit 243 is caused to display the local time of the home region in the first modification. Fig. 15, like Fig. 14, shows the time display at time point T2 in Fig. 7. In Fig. 15, the CPU 21 causes the third display unit 243 to display the local time (21:40) in Tokyo, which is the home region.

[0054] (Variation 2) Next, a second modification of the above embodiment will be described. Below, differences from the above embodiment will be described, and a description of commonalities with the above embodiment will be omitted. The second modification may be combined with the first modification. In this modification, the CPU 11 of the smartphone 10 determines whether the electronic watch 20 has moved to the destination and derives the local time to be displayed on the first display unit 241 and the second display unit 242 based on the determination result. That is, the CPU 11 transmits to the electronic watch 20 first time information for causing the first display unit 241 to display the local time of the first destination, and second time information for causing the second display unit 242 to display the local time of the second destination. The electronic watch 20 corrects the times to be displayed on the first display unit 241 and the second display unit 242 based on the received first time information and second time information. When modification 2 is combined with modification 1, the CPU 11 further transmits third time information to the electronic watch 20 for causing the third display unit 243 to display the local time of the third destination.

[0055] The CPU 11 of the smartphone 10 of this modified example executes a clock control process for controlling the display time of the electronic clock 20 . FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the control procedure of the clock control process. When the clock control process starts, the CPU 11 generates time information for displaying the local time of Tokyo, which is the home region, on the first display unit 241 and time information for displaying the local time of New York, which is the default city, on the second display unit 242, and transmits these to the electronic clock 20 (step S201). In response, the electronic clock 20 displays the local time of the home region on the first display unit 241 and the local time of the default city on the second display unit 242. The operation of the electronic clock 20 in each of the subsequent steps is similar and will therefore be omitted.

[0056] The CPU 11 acquires the destination data 133 stored in the memory unit 13 (step S202) and repeatedly determines whether or not movement from the departure point is to be started (step S203). If it is determined that movement is to be started ("YES" in step S203), the CPU 11 refers to the local time setting data 232, generates time information for displaying the local time of the first destination on the second display unit 242, and transmits the time information to the electronic clock 20 (step S204).

[0057] The CPU 11 assigns "1" to the variable n (step S205). The CPU 11 causes the satellite radio wave reception processing unit 17 to calculate the current position, and acquires the position data 134 relating to the current position (step S206). The CPU 11 determines whether or not the nth destination has been reached based on the acquired position data 134 (step S207). Here, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the destination has been reached based on whether or not the current position represented by the position data 134 is within the nth destination. If it is determined that the nth destination has not been reached ("NO" in step S207), the CPU 11 returns the process to step S206. If it is determined that the nth destination has been reached ("YES" in step S207), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the nth destination is the final destination (step S208). If it is determined that the nth destination is not the final destination ("NO" in step S208), the CPU 11 acquires the above-mentioned predetermined information regarding the nth destination, and generates first time information for displaying the local time of the nth destination on the first display unit 241 and second time information for displaying the local time of the (n+1)th destination on the second display unit 242 based on the local time setting data 232, and transmits these to the electronic clock 20 (step S209). The CPU 11 assigns "n+1" to the variable n (step S210), and returns the process to step S207.

[0058] If it is determined in step S208 that the nth destination is the final destination ("YES" in step S208), the CPU 11 acquires the above-mentioned predetermined information related to the final destination, generates time information for displaying the local time of the final destination on the first display unit 241 and time information for displaying the local time of the default city on the second display unit 242, and transmits these to the electronic clock 20 (step S211). When step S211 ends, the CPU 11 ends the clock control process.

[0059] (Variation 3) Next, a third modification of the above embodiment will be described. Below, differences from the above embodiment will be described, and a description of commonalities with the above embodiment will be omitted. The third modification may be combined with at least one of the first and second modifications. In the above embodiment, when the CPU 21 determines that the electronic watch 20 has arrived at the destination based on the location information of the smartphone 10 or the electronic watch 20, it obtains information about the destination. However, instead, information about the destination may be obtained by user operation without using location information. For example, when the user wishes to switch the display time on the first display unit 241 to the local time of the first destination, the user performs a predetermined operation on the operation unit 25 to instruct the operation unit 25 to display the local time of the first destination. The CPU 21 acquires operation information output by the operation unit 25 in response to the predetermined operation as information related to the first destination. In response to the acquisition of the information, the CPU 21 causes the first display unit 241 to display the local time of the first destination, and also causes the first display unit 241 to display the local time of the next second destination. The operation is similar for any other destination. This allows the user to manually display the local time of each destination at a desired timing.

[0060] (Variation 4) Next, a fourth modification of the above embodiment will be described. Below, differences from the above embodiment will be described, and a description of commonalities with the above embodiment will be omitted. The fourth modification may be combined with some or all of the first to third modifications.

[0061] FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the display unit 24 of the electronic timepiece 20 according to the fourth modification. The first display unit 241 shown in Fig. 17 includes a sub-display unit 2414 capable of displaying the local time of a city in which the time displayed on the first display unit 241 is. The second display unit 242 includes a sub-display unit 2424 capable of displaying the local time of a city in which the time displayed on the second display unit 242 is. In Fig. 17, the sub-display units 2414 and 2424 are capable of displaying a three-letter city code. The sub-display units 2414 and 2424 may be liquid crystal display devices capable of digitally displaying city codes. The sub-display units 2414 and 2424 may also be date indicators configured such that one city code is exposed from an opening. When the CPU 21 acquires information about the first destination, it causes the sub-display unit 2414 of the first display unit 241 to display the city code of the first destination (a display indicating that the local time of the first destination is displayed), and the sub-display unit 2424 of the second display unit 242 to display the city code of the second destination (a display indicating that the local time of the second destination is displayed). Fig. 17 shows the electronic watch 20 when the electronic watch 20 arrives at Singapore, which is destination 3, at time T6 in Fig. 7, with the sub-display unit 2414 of the first display unit 241 displaying "SIN" which indicates the local time in Singapore, and the sub-display unit 2414 of the second display unit 242 displaying "TYO" which indicates the local time in Tokyo.

[0062] FIG. 18 is a diagram showing another example of the display unit 24 of the electronic timepiece 20 according to the fourth modification. The first display unit 241 shown in FIG. 18 includes a part of the bezel 24B, and the part of the bezel 24B has city codes 2415 of multiple cities written on it. The first hand group G1 also has a second hand 2413. The second display unit 242 includes a part of the clock face 24S, and the part of the clock face 24S has city codes 2425 of multiple cities written on it. The second hand group G2 also has a second hand 2423. In this configuration, the CPU 21 indicates which city's local time the time displayed on the first display unit 241 is in by causing the second hand 2413 to indicate one of the multiple city codes of the bezel 24B. Furthermore, the CPU 21 indicates which city's local time is the time displayed on the second display unit 242 by causing the hand 2423 to indicate one of the multiple city codes 2425 on the clock face 24S. Fig. 18 shows the electronic clock 20 when the car arrives at Singapore, the destination 3, at time T6 in Fig. 7, with the second hand 2413 of the first display unit 241 pointing to "SIN" which indicates the local time in Singapore, and the second hand 2423 of the second display unit 242 pointing to "TYO" which indicates the local time in Tokyo.

[0063] (effect) As described above, the electronic watch 20 according to the present embodiment includes a CPU 21, which acquires destination data 233 relating to a plurality of destinations in a set travel order, and when acquiring information relating to a first destination among the plurality of destinations, displays the local time of the first destination on the first display unit 241 based on local time setting data 232 relating to local times around the world, and displays the local time of a second destination, which is the next destination among the plurality of destinations, on the second display unit 242 different from the first display unit 241. This allows the user to check the local time of the first destination where the user is staying at a desired timing during travel using the first display unit 241, and to check the local time of the second destination, which is the next destination, using the second display unit 242. Users who travel between multiple destinations often want to check the local time of the next destination rather than the local time of their home region, so the above configuration can improve the convenience of time display when traveling between multiple destinations.

[0064] Furthermore, when the CPU 21 determines that the electronic watch 20 has moved to the first destination, it acquires information about the first destination, which allows the first display unit 241 and the second display unit to display the local times of the first and second destinations, respectively, in response to the user wearing the electronic watch 20 moving to the first destination.

[0065] The CPU 21 also acquires position data 234 relating to the current position of the electronic watch 20, and determines whether the electronic watch 20 has moved to the first destination based on the position data. This makes it possible to reliably determine whether the electronic watch 20 has moved to the first destination, and to cause the first display unit 241 and the second display unit 242 to display the correct time according to the current position.

[0066] Furthermore, when the CPU 21 acquires information about a first destination, it switches the local time displayed on the first display unit 241 to the local time of the first destination, and switches the local time displayed on the second display unit 242 to the local time of the second destination. This allows the first display unit 241 and the second display unit to display the local times of the first destination and the second destination, respectively, at an appropriate timing.

[0067] Furthermore, before starting travel to multiple destinations, the CPU 21 displays the local times of departure points to the multiple destinations on the first display unit 241 and displays the local time of a predetermined default city on the second display unit 242, and after starting travel, when the electronic watch 20 acquires information about a final destination of the multiple destinations, displays the local time of the final destination on the first display unit 241 and displays the local time of the default city on the second display unit 242. This makes it possible to display the local times that the user normally desires before starting travel and after arriving at the final destination.

[0068] Furthermore, the destination data 233 includes information on a departure point from which travel to multiple destinations begins, and when the CPU 21 determines that travel from the departure point to multiple destinations will begin, the CPU 21 causes the first display unit 241 to display the current time at the departure point and the second display unit 242 to display the current time at the first destination of the multiple destinations, based on the local time setting data 232. This allows the user to check the current time at the first destination on the second display unit 242 in response to the start of travel.

[0069] Furthermore, the CPU 21 displays the local time of the first destination using a first hand group G1 of the first display unit 241 including at least a first hour hand 2411 and a first minute hand 2412 that rotate about a central rotation axis A1 provided at the center of the clock face 24S, and displays the local time of the second destination using a second hand group G2 of the second display unit 242 including at least a second hour hand 2421 and a second minute hand 2422 that rotate about a rotation axis A2 different from the central rotation axis A1. This makes it possible to display the local times of the first destination and the second destination in an analog format.

[0070] Furthermore, in the first modification, when the CPU 21 determines that the electronic clock 20 has moved to the first destination, it also displays the local time of a third destination, which is the next of the second destination among the multiple destinations, on a third display unit 243 different from the first display unit 241 and the second display unit 242, based on the local time setting data 232. This allows the user to check the local time of the first destination, which is the area of ​​stay, and the local time of the second destination, which is the next destination, as well as the local time of the third destination, which is the next destination after that. This further improves the convenience of the time display when moving between multiple destinations.

[0071] Furthermore, in the first modification, when the CPU 21 determines that the clock has moved to the first destination, the CPU 21 further displays the local time of a predetermined home region on the third display unit 243, which is different from the first display unit 241 and the second display unit 242, based on the local time setting data 232. This allows the user to check the local time of the home region in addition to the local time of the first destination, which is the staying region, and the local time of the second destination, which is the next destination. This further improves the convenience of the time display when moving between multiple destinations.

[0072] Furthermore, in the fourth modification, when the electronic watch 20 acquires information about a first destination among multiple destinations, the CPU 21 causes the first display unit 241 to display an indication that the local time of the first destination is being displayed, and the second display unit 242 to display an indication that the local time of the second destination is being displayed. This allows the user to know which city's local time is being displayed on the times displayed on the first display unit 241 and the second display unit 242.

[0073] The destination data 233 may also be generated based on the schedule data 135 of the user of the electronic clock 20. This eliminates the need for the user to manually input multiple destinations, improving user convenience.

[0074] The destination data 233 may be generated based on electronic ticket data 136 related to a transportation ticket for moving between multiple destinations in a moving order. This can save the user the trouble of manually inputting multiple destinations, thereby improving user convenience.

[0075] The smartphone 10 according to the present embodiment is capable of data communication with the electronic watch 20 and includes a CPU 11. The CPU 11 acquires destination data 133 relating to a plurality of destinations for which a moving order is determined, and when it is determined that the electronic watch 20 has acquired information relating to a first destination among the plurality of destinations, it transmits to the electronic watch 20 first time information for displaying the local time of the first destination on a first display unit 241 provided in the electronic watch 20 based on local time setting data 132 relating to local times around the world, and second time information for displaying the local time of a second destination next to the first destination among the plurality of destinations on a second display unit 242 provided in the electronic watch 20, which is different from the first display unit 241. This also improves the convenience of time display when moving between a plurality of destinations. In addition, the processing executed by the CPU 21 of the electronic watch 20 can be reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the electronic watch 20.

[0076] Furthermore, in the time display method according to this embodiment, the CPU 21 acquires destination data 233 relating to multiple destinations with a set travel order, and when it determines that the electronic watch 20 has acquired information relating to a first destination among the multiple destinations, it displays the local time of the first destination on the first display unit 241 based on local time setting data 232 relating to local times around the world, and displays the local time of a second destination next to the first destination among the multiple destinations on a second display unit 242 different from the first display unit 241. This makes it possible to improve the convenience of the time display when traveling between multiple destinations.

[0077] Furthermore, the program 231 according to this embodiment causes the CPU 21 to execute a process of acquiring destination data 233 relating to multiple destinations for which a travel order has been determined, and, when it is determined that the electronic watch 20 has acquired information relating to a first destination among the multiple destinations, a process of displaying the local time of the first destination on the first display unit 241 based on local time setting data 232 relating to local times around the world, and a process of displaying the local time of a second destination next to the first destination among the multiple destinations on a second display unit 242 different from the first display unit 241. This makes it possible to improve the convenience of the time display when traveling between multiple destinations.

[0078] (others) The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but may be modified in various ways. For example, if the electronic watch 20 can acquire or generate the information acquired from the smartphone 10 in the above embodiment (such as the local time setting data 232, the destination data 233, and the position data 234), the smartphone 10 may be omitted.

[0079] Moreover, instead of the first display unit 241, the second display unit 242, and the third display unit 243 that display the time in an analog manner, a display unit that displays the time in a digital manner may be used. Also, an analog display unit and a digital display unit may be combined.

[0080] In the above embodiment, the time zones of adjacent destinations in the travel order are different, but two or more destinations in the same time zone may be consecutive. In this case, the two or more destinations are merged and regarded as one destination in the destination data 133, 233. For example, only the first destination of the two or more destinations is left, and the remaining destinations are deleted. This makes it possible to prevent the first display unit 241 and the second display unit 242 from displaying the same local time.

[0081] In the above description, an example has been disclosed in which the flash memory of the storage unit 13 is used as a computer-readable medium for the program according to the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this example. As other computer-readable media, information recording media such as HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), and CD-ROM can be applied. In addition, carrier waves are also applied to the present invention as a medium for providing data of the program according to the present invention via a communication line.

[0082] Furthermore, it goes without saying that the detailed configuration and detailed operation of each component of the communication system 1 in the above embodiment can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
