[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0010] <Clock management system> An overview of the clock management system S will be described. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the clock management system S to which a management server 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention is applied. Note that the system referred to here includes not only an overall device made up of multiple devices or multiple means, but also a system made up of a single device.

[0011] The clock management system S is a system that enables operation of the clock 200, such as managing information such as the specifications of an analog clock, setting alarms, and correcting the position of the hands, from a smartphone via short-range communication. The clock management system S may also be capable of correcting the display on the time display screen of a digital clock such as a smartwatch, and calibrating various sensors.

[0012] 1, the clock management system S according to this embodiment includes a user terminal 1 and a management server 10. The user terminal 1 and the management server 10 are connected to each other so that they can communicate with each other via a network N. The network N is realized by, for example, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a mobile phone network, or a combination of these.

[0013] The management server 10 is an information processing device for realizing the clock management system S. The management server 10 is realized by, for example, a computer having a server function.

[0014] The user terminal 1 is, for example, a portable computer such as a smartphone or tablet, but is not limited to this and may also be a desktop or laptop personal computer.

[0015] The user terminal 1 according to this embodiment is connected to the watch 200 via short-range communication so that they can communicate with each other. The number of user terminals 1 connected to the management server 10 is not limited to one, and may be multiple. The user terminal 1 is also capable of performing short-range communication with multiple watches 200. Details of the user terminal 1 will be described later.

[0016] The watch 200 according to this embodiment is an analog watch capable of communicating with the user terminal 1 via short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). As shown in Fig. 1, the watch 200 has a main clock 210 consisting of a base 211 on a face 200A with markings arranged along the outline of the face 200A, and an hour hand 212a, a minute hand 212b, and a second hand 212c rotatably mounted on a pivot image 212d in the center of the face 200A. Note that in the explanations herein, "rotation" refers to rotation in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, or rotation in both directions.

[0017] Furthermore, the clock 200 has multiple sub-dial faces on its face 200A, including a 24-hour counter 220 linked to the main clock 210, a subdial 230, a sub 24-hour counter 240 linked to the subdial 230, a date window 251, and a function display dial 260. The sub-dial faces of the clock 200 are not limited to these, and for example, the clock 200 may have a sub-dial face with a function display window that displays city names, etc. The clock 200 may also have a digital sub-dial face that displays the time, city names, etc.

[0018] In this embodiment, the hour hand 212a, minute hand 212b, and second hand 212c are referred to as the main hands 212. The subdial 230 displays world time or dual time. The sub 24-hour counter 240 is a 24-hour counter related to the subdial 230.

[0019] The date window 251 is an opening on the face 200A, and part of the date display portion displayed on the internal date wheel 250 is exposed to the outside through this opening, allowing the user to check the date. The function display panel 260 takes various forms depending on the type of watch 200, such as a day of the week display, a current mode display of the watch 200, a remaining battery level display, a stopwatch, etc.

[0020] The function display window is an opening on the face, and a portion of the display section of the function etc. displayed on the internal circular disk is exposed through this opening, allowing the user to check the displayed content. The display section of the function display window displays, for example, the name of a city or the name of a city in the world time displayed on a sub-dial. The display section of the disk varies depending on the type of watch 200.

[0021] The timepiece 200 has a motor (not shown) that drives the hands, and a control unit (not shown) that controls the operation of the motor. The control unit of the timepiece 200 can control the motor to drive the hands based on setting information about the hand positions transmitted from the user terminal 1. The setting information is generated by a hand correction process of the user terminal 1, which will be described later. The setting information includes information about the hands to be corrected and the amount of rotation required for the correction. The reference positions of the hands are positions that are predetermined as references for the rotating or pivoting hands. For example, in the case of the main hands, the reference position of the hands is preset to a position indicating midnight.

[0022] The hands of an analog clock may shift from their intended position due to shock, magnetic force, etc., making it necessary to correct the hands of the clock. However, in the clock management system S of this embodiment, setting information generated by the user terminal 1 is sent to the clock 200 via short-range communication, allowing the clock 200 to automatically correct the hands.

[0023] <Administration Server> Next, a description will be given of an example of the management server 10. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the management server 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 2, the management server 10 includes a processor 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, an input unit 14, an output unit 15, a memory unit 16, a communication unit 17, a power supply unit 18, a bus 19, and an input / output interface 20.

[0025] The processor 11 is the central part of the computer that performs calculations, control, and other processes necessary for the operation of the management server 10, and performs various calculations and processes. The processor 11 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a micro processing unit (MPU), a system on a chip (SoC), a digital signal processor (DSP), a graphics processing unit (GPU), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic device (PLD), or a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Alternatively, the processor 11 may be a combination of two or more of these. The processor 11 may also be a combination of these with a hardware accelerator or the like.

[0026] The processor 11 controls each unit to realize various functions of the management server 10 based on programs such as firmware, system software, and application software recorded in the ROM 12 or RAM 13. The processor 11 also executes the processes described below based on the programs. Note that part or all of the programs may be incorporated into the circuitry of the processor 11.

[0027] The processor 11, ROM 12, and RAM 13 are interconnected via a bus 19. An input / output interface 20 is also connected to this bus 19. An input unit 14, an output unit 15, a memory unit 16, a communication unit 17, and a power supply unit 18 are connected to the input / output interface 20.

[0028] The input unit 14 and output unit 15 are user interfaces electrically connected to the input / output interface 20 via wire or wirelessly. The input unit 14 is composed of, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, various buttons, a microphone, etc., and inputs various information in response to user instructions. The output unit 15 is composed of, for example, a display that displays the management screen of the clock management system S and a speaker that amplifies audio, and outputs images and audio.

[0029] The storage unit 16 is configured with semiconductor memory such as DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), and stores various data of the management server 10. A plurality of databases for the clock management system S are constructed in the storage unit 16. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a database relating to clocks and users registered in the clock management system S is constructed in the storage unit 16.

[0030] The communication unit 17 is a device for communicating with other devices (not shown) via a network including the Internet. The communication unit 17 may also be a device for performing short-distance communication without using a network.

[0031] The power supply unit 18 is configured to be able to supply power to each unit of the management server 10 by being connected to an external power source.

[0032] Next, the functional configuration of the management server 10 will be described. Fig. 3 is a functional block diagram showing the functional configuration for executing the operation screen generation process, among the functional configurations of the management server 10 in Fig. 2. The operation screen generation process is a process for generating an operation screen for operating the hand correction process of the clock management system S. The operation screen is a user interface for operating the clock, and will be described in detail later.

[0033] The control unit 30, which performs various controls of the management server 10, is a processing unit realized by the processor 11 that executes arithmetic processing. The control unit 30 of this embodiment has a communication processing unit (communication processing function) 31, an output processing unit (output processing function) 32, an input processing unit (input processing function) 33, a part information acquisition unit (part information acquisition function) 34, a placement information acquisition unit (placement information acquisition function) 35, an operation screen generation unit (operation screen generation function) 36, and an operation screen management unit (operation screen management function) 37.

[0034] The communication processing unit 31 executes processing for communicating with external devices via the communication unit 17. For example, the communication processing unit 31 executes processing for transmitting and receiving various types of information to and from the user terminal 1 connected to the management server 10 via the communication unit 17.

[0035] The output processing unit 32 executes processing for displaying an image on the screen of the output unit 15 of the management server 10. For example, the output processing unit 32 executes processing for displaying a management screen for managing the clock management system S on the screen of the output unit 15.

[0036] The input processing unit 33 executes a process of accepting an operation of the input unit 14 by an administrator of the management server 10. For example, the input processing unit 33 executes a process of accepting an operation for managing the clock management system S inputted by the administrator to the input unit 14 based on information displayed on the screen of the output unit 15.

[0037] The component information acquisition unit 34 acquires component information stored in the storage unit 16. The component information is information for identifying component images, parts, etc. corresponding to the sub-dial surface as a component. For example, the component information includes interlocking component information, such as the hour hand 212a and minute hand 212b moving in tandem, and the storage location of the corresponding component image. Depending on the specifications, the displays of the hands, date window, etc., and the digital display on the digital sub-display surface of a watch are interlocked. For example, if the specifications of a watch link the digital display showing country information with the hands showing time, correcting the digital display will cause the hands to move in tandem. Interlocking component information is information about components that are in a relationship in which the position of the hands showing information or the display of the digital display showing information or the date window changes in tandem with the position of the hands showing information or the display of the digital display showing information or the date window, etc., of other components. For example, the interlocking component information includes rotation ratio information indicating the rotation ratio of components that rotate in tandem, and the rotation amount of the components relative to a predetermined operation amount in the dial surface image 110 is set based on the rotation ratio. The linked item information also includes information on the position and rotation amount of the pointer linked to the display content of the digital display on the digital sub-dial.

[0038] The component information is set for each type of watch 200 and includes information on the presence or absence of various sub-dial faces, the number of steps that indicate the movement of the hands during the hand correction process, etc. The number of steps is the amount of change in the position or display of the sub-dial face per cycle, which is a fixed period.

[0039] The location information acquisition unit 35 acquires location information indicating the location of the component specified by the component information. By combining the component information and the location information, the location of the component in the board image is specified.

[0040] The operation screen generation unit 36 ​​generates a board image by arranging component images such as sub-boards and pointers stored in the storage unit 16 based on the component information acquired by the component information acquisition unit 34. The operation screen generation unit 36 ​​executes a process of generating an operation screen based on the board image.

[0041] The operation screen management unit 37 executes a process of storing the operation screen generated by the operation screen generation unit 36 ​​in the memory unit 16, and a process of reading and outputting the requested operation screen from the memory unit 16 in response to a request from the user terminal 1.

[0042] Next, the dial image 110 will be described using Fig. 4. In this embodiment, the dial of the watch 200 to be operated may vary greatly depending on the type of watch 200, and a dial image is created for each watch based on component information to improve operability and visibility.

[0043] The dial image 110 is an image that imitates the dial of the watch 200 that is the target of hand correction. In this embodiment, the outer shape of the dial image 110 is approximately circular, and the dial image 110 is used even if the outer shape of the watch 200 is not approximately circular. However, the outer shape of the dial image 110 is not limited to an approximately circular shape, and there are no restrictions on the shape. For example, the outer shape of the dial image 110 may be an ellipse or an approximately polygonal shape.

[0044] Additionally, various hands and sub-dial faces according to the specifications of the watch 200 are displayed on the dial image 110. In the example of Fig. 4, the dial image 110 displays, as component images, a base image 111 having indications such as a scale, an hour hand image 112a, a minute hand image 112b, a second hand image 112c, a 24-hour meter image 120, a subdial image 130, a sub 24-hour meter image 140 as the 24-hour meter of the subdial, a date window image 151, and a function display dial image 160.

[0045] In the watch management system S according to this embodiment, the watch face image 110 is generated by combining the base image 111 and main hand image 112 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 with component images such as the sub-dial and pointers shown in FIGS. 8 to 12. The component images are not limited to the analog sub-dial images shown in FIGS. 8 to 12, but may also be images of digital sub-dial faces. That is, a liquid crystal display capable of digitally displaying information may also be set as a common image. For example, the image of the digital sub-dial is an image of a liquid crystal display capable of digitally displaying information. Furthermore, in the watch management system S, the component images do not include components that do not require special information adjustment, such as logos and decorations on the dial, but may include such components.

[0046] In this embodiment, the component images such as the sub-dial surface and pointers are all common except for the function indicator panel and function hands. Therefore, the clock management system S according to this embodiment can reduce the volume of image data and simplify the process of generating the operation screen.

[0047] However, this is not a limitation, and all component images may be standardized, or a unique sub-dial component image may be prepared for a specific type of watch as needed. Furthermore, if the watch management system S divides all managed watches into multiple groups based on the watch brand, face shape, etc., a face image common to each group may be set for each group. Furthermore, the face image common to each group may be substantially the same or different between groups. Even in this case, the number of face images can be reduced, reducing the image data volume and simplifying processing.

[0048] Furthermore, in the watch management system S, if all managed watches are divided into multiple groups based on the watch brand, face shape, etc., each group may be set with a common base image, main hand image, and component images such as sub-faces and pointers. The common base image, main hand image, sub-faces and pointers for each group may be substantially the same or different between groups. Even in this case, the number of face images can be reduced, reducing the image data volume and simplifying processing.

[0049] The base image 111 is an image made up of a plurality of large scale marks 111a and a plurality of small scale marks 111b arranged regularly in a circular ring shape as shown in Fig. 6, and the scale marks 111a and 111b correspond to the hands of a main hand image 112, which will be described later. The main hand image 112 is an image made up of an hour hand image 112a, a minute hand image 112b, a second hand image 112c, and a pointer shaft image 112d provided at the center of rotation thereof as shown in Fig. 7. The user terminal 1 according to this embodiment can display the main hand image 112 by rotating the hour hand image 112a, minute hand image 112b, and second hand image 112c on the screen, with the pointer shaft image 112d serving as the center of rotation.

[0050] 8, the component image of the 24-hour clock image 120 is an image made up of a plurality of scale displays 121 indicating the hours, a 24-hour hand image 122, and a pointer axis image 123 provided at the rotation center of the 24-hour hand image 122. The user terminal 1 according to this embodiment can rotate and display the 24-hour hand image 122 on the operation screen 100 with the pointer axis image 123 as the rotation center.

[0051] Next, the component image of the sub-dial image 130 is an image made up of a plurality of scale displays 131 indicating the hours, a small hour hand image 132, a small minute hand image 133, and a pointer shaft image 134 provided at the rotation center of each hand, as shown in Fig. 9. The user terminal 1 according to this embodiment can display the small hour hand image 132 and the small minute hand image 133 on the operation screen 100 by rotating them independently of each other with the pointer shaft image 134 as the rotation center.

[0052] 10, the component image of the small 24-hour clock image 140 is an image made up of a scale display 141 indicating the hours, a display 142 indicating PM, a display 143 indicating AM, a PA hand image 144 as the small 24-hour hand, and a pointer shaft image 145 provided at the rotation center of the PA hand image 144. The user terminal 1 according to this embodiment can display the PA hand image 144 on the operation screen 100 by rotating it around the pointer shaft image 145 as the rotation center.

[0053] Next, Fig. 11 is a diagram of an example of a function display panel image. As shown in Fig. 11, the function display panel image 160 is an image made up of a day display 161, a function display 162, a function hand image 163, and a pointer axis image 164 provided at the rotation center of the function hand image 163. The user terminal 1 according to this embodiment is capable of displaying the function hand image 163 on the operation screen 100 by rotating it around the pointer axis image 164 as the rotation center. Furthermore, the function display panel image 160 differs depending on the functions of the watch 200, and therefore is a different image for each watch that has a function display panel 260. Note that if different types of watches have approximately the same functions, a common image may be used as the function display panel image 160.

[0054] 12, a date window image 151 is displayed inside the outline of the date indicator image 150. The user terminal 1 according to this embodiment can display the date indicator image 150 on the operation screen 100 by rotating it around a center 152.

[0055] Furthermore, in the clock management system S according to this embodiment, when new component information is stored in the storage unit 16, the management server 10 performs an operation screen generation process in which a board image is automatically generated based on the layout information indicating the layout of the sub-boards on the board and the component images of the sub-boards, and an operation screen is generated. In this embodiment, the board image 110 has a substantially circular outer shape, and the component information is arranged within the outer shape of the board image 110, so that the position is expressed using numerical values ​​relating to the angle and distance, as in polar coordinates, which are easier to enlarge and reduce than Cartesian coordinates.

[0056] For example, the coordinates on the dial image 110 are predetermined such that the origin is the center of rotation of the main pointer image 112, the direction directly above the origin is the reference direction, 0°, and clockwise is positive. Note that the pointer axis image 112d as the center of rotation of the main pointer image 112 is located at the center of the outline of the dial image 110. In these coordinates, the position of the component information is expressed by the angle between the reference direction and the direction from the origin to the component information, and a distance magnification as a numerical value related to the distance.

[0057] The distance magnification is the ratio of the distance from the origin to the component information when the radius of the outline of the board image 110 is 1. For example, the distance magnification is 1 if the component information is on the outline of the board image 110, 0.5 if the component information is located at half the radius of the board image 110, and 2 if the component information is located at twice the radius of the board image 110. However, the numerical value related to the distance is not limited to this. For example, the numerical value related to the distance may be the numerical value of the actual distance from a predetermined origin. The placement information also includes origin information indicating the position of the set origin.

[0058] In the operation screen generation process for generating the operation screen, the management server 10 generates a face image based on arrangement information indicating the arrangement of sub-faces and the like on the face and on component images of the sub-faces, but this is not limited to this and the image may be determined based on, for example, the actual face of a watch. For example, the control unit 30 of the management server 10 may acquire a photographic image of the watch face captured by the user terminal 1, analyze the photographic image, calculate arrangement information, and generate the face image. Even in this case, the arrangement of the rotation axes of the hands in the face image can be made closer to the actual face of the watch, allowing the management server 10 to generate a face image that is easier for the user to understand.

[0059] Next, we will explain the operation screen generation process executed by the management server 10 according to this embodiment. The operation screen generation process is a process that generates a face image for clock operation included in the operation screen used for the needle correction process by the above-mentioned clock management system S, and generates the operation screen by arranging the face image for clock operation and other images other than the face image for clock operation, such as buttons and options.

[0060] The other images are common to all types of clock 200. The other images are stored in storage unit 16 of management server 10, and are read in at the timing of the operation screen generation process and used to generate the operation screen together with the generated dial image.

[0061] In this embodiment, the operation screen 100 is generated by the management server 10 through the operation screen generation process described below, in which images of parts such as sub-dial faces and hands selected according to the type of watch 200 are arranged and stored in the storage unit 16. When the user terminal 1 executes the needle correction process, the operation screen 100 is transmitted from the management server 10 to the user terminal 1 and used in the needle correction process.

[0062] Furthermore, the user terminal 1 according to this embodiment stores the operation screen 100 used after the needle calibration process in a storage unit of the user terminal 1 so that it can be used for the next and subsequent needle calibration processes. However, this is not limiting, and the user terminal 1 may delete the operation screen 100 used after the needle calibration process.

[0063] Next, an example of the operation screen will be described with reference to Fig. 4. On the operation screen 100, a dial image 110 and other images for needle calibration operations are arranged. In Fig. 4, at the top of the operation screen 100, a button 101 for moving to another screen of the clock management system S and a display 102 displaying operations to be performed by the user are displayed. On the operation screen 100, the dial image 110 is displayed below the button 101 and the display 102.

[0064] Also, below the dial image 110 on the operation screen, a hand selection menu 103 to be corrected is displayed. In the hand selection menu 103, options 103a, 103b, and 103c are displayed from top to bottom. Options 103a display "hour hand, minute hand, second hand, hour hand (24-hour system)." Options 103b display "subdial, subdial (24-hour system)." Options 103c display the option "function display dial, date window." Options surrounded by two horizontal lines, one above the other, are options selected by the user, and in FIG. 4, option 103a has been selected.

[0065] Also, a button 104 labeled "Correct this hand" is displayed below the hand selection menu 103. When button 104 is pressed after an option has been selected in the hand selection menu 103, the screen transitions to the correction operation screen shown in FIG.

[0066] In this embodiment, the pointer is white as described below, but the pointer is displayed in color in FIG. 4 and in FIG. 5 described below. This is because the color display of the selected pointer on the operation screen 100 is changed to make it easier for the user to recognize the pointer selected in the pointer selection menu 103. The selected pointer may not only be displayed in a different color, but may also be resized or animated. The selected pointer may also be made easier to recognize by changing the display of elements other than the selected pointer.

[0067] Next, we will explain the operation screen 100 for performing the correction operation shown in Fig. 5. At the top of the operation screen 100 in Fig. 5, a button 101 for moving to another screen of the clock management system S and a display 102 showing the operation to be performed by the user are displayed.

[0068] Also, below the button 101 and the display 102, a dial image 110 that resembles a clock is displayed, as in FIG. 4. Also, below the dial image 110, a counterclockwise button 106 and a clockwise button 105 are displayed on the left and right, respectively. When the counterclockwise button 106 is pressed, the selected hand can be moved counterclockwise by a predetermined number of steps. When the clockwise button 105 is pressed, the selected hand can be moved clockwise by a predetermined number of steps. Note that if the watch to be operated does not have specifications that allow the hands to be turned counterclockwise, the counterclockwise button 106 does not need to be displayed.

[0069] 4, when multiple interlocking hands are selected, the user can select one of the interlocking hands to be moved by pressing the counterclockwise button 106 or the clockwise button 105. Furthermore, the hand interlocked with the additionally selected hand moves in tandem based on the interlocking part information when the selected hand is moved. Furthermore, the management server 10 according to this embodiment changes the display color of the selected hand on the operation screen 100, but when another hand is selected from the multiple selected interlocking hands, the display colors of the hands other than the additionally selected hand do not need to be changed.

[0070] The predetermined number of steps varies from watch to watch. The part information stored in the storage unit 16 of the management server 10 includes the number of steps per cycle of each hand for each watch, and the amount of rotation per step is determined from the number of steps per cycle. The management server 10 calculates the amount of rotation per step based on the part information. For example, the number of steps per cycle of the second hand is 60, and since one cycle is 360°, the amount of rotation per step is 6°.

[0071] Below the counterclockwise button 106 and the clockwise button 105, a button 107 labeled "Send settings to watch" is displayed. In the user terminal 1 according to this embodiment, when the pointer to be corrected is determined on the operation screen 100 in FIG. 4, an operation is performed on the watch 200 to move the pointer to be corrected to its reference position, and the position of the pointer to be corrected on the face of the operation screen 100 moves to the reference position. At this time, the pointer of the watch 200 is not pointing to the reference position due to a deviation.

[0072] The user presses counterclockwise button 106 or clockwise button 105 to align the pointer to be corrected on the operation screen with the position of the misaligned pointer on watch 200. Next, when button 107 is pressed with the position of the pointer to be corrected on watch 200 to be corrected aligned with the position of the pointer to be corrected on the face of operation screen 100, setting information is generated and transmitted to watch 200 via short-range communication. Watch 200 corrects the misalignment of the pointer based on the received setting information. The setting information includes information on the pointer to be corrected and information on the number of steps by which the pointer to be corrected on the operation screen has been moved from its reference position by the user's operation.

[0073] In the operation screen generation process, the base image 111 and the main pointer image 112 are arranged so that their respective centers coincide with the center of the board.

[0074] Furthermore, if the clock to be corrected does not have an hour hand, minute hand, or second hand, the component image of the main hand image 112 does not necessarily have to display all of the hour hand image 112a, minute hand image 112b, and second hand image 112c.

[0075] In addition, the 24-hour clock image 120, the sub-dial image 130, the function display panel image 160, and the date window image 151 are positioned so that the center of the sub-dial surface is at the position on the panel specified by the placement information included in the part information.

[0076] In this embodiment, the position of the small 24-hour meter image 140 is determined based on the sub-dial image 130 because the small 24-hour meter is a 24-hour meter related to the sub-dial. For example, the position of the small 24-hour meter image 140 is expressed in coordinates where the center of the circle of the outer shape of the sub-dial image 130 is the origin, the direction directly above the center of the circle is 0°, the radius of the circle is 1, and clockwise is positive. The small 24-hour meter image 140 is positioned so that the center of the small 24-hour meter image 140 coincides with the position identified from the part information in the coordinates.

[0077] Next, generation of the operation screen for the watch 200 will be described using Figures 1, 13 and 14. As shown in Figure 1, the watch 200 has an hour hand 212a, a minute hand 212b, a second hand 212c, a 24-hour counter 220, a subdial 230, a sub 24-hour counter 240, a function display panel 260, and a date window 251 on a face 200A.

[0078] In management server 10, an administrator inputs component information such as layout information and component images for each hand and each sub-dial of clock 200, and stores the input information in a component information data table in storage unit 16 as shown in Fig. 1. Once storage unit 16 of management server 10 has stored the component information for clock 200, management server 10 starts an operation screen generation process.

[0079] As described above, the base image 111 and the main hand image 112 are positioned so that their centers coincide with the origin of the dial image 110. Because the angle of the 24-hour meter 220 is 0° and the distance magnification is 0.5 entered in the data table of placement information shown in Fig. 13, the 24-hour meter 220 is positioned so that the center of the 24-hour meter image 120 coincides with a position directly above the origin as viewed from the origin and at a position 0.5 times the distance from the origin to the outer shape in the coordinate system on the dial image 110. Similarly, the placement of the subdial image 130, function display dial image 160, and date window image 151 is determined for the subdial 230, function display dial image 160, and date window image 151.

[0080] In this embodiment, the reference for aligning the date window 251 is set to the center of the date window 251, but this is not limited to this. For example, if the outer shape of the date window is approximately rectangular, the reference for aligning the date window 251 may be at any of the four corners, or may be set as appropriate.

[0081] 13, the angle of the sub-24-hour counter 240 is entered as DT180° and the distance magnification as DT×1. DT indicates the sub-dial, and DT180° indicates the position obtained by rotating the center of the sub-dial's outer circle 180° clockwise from the angle directly above when viewed from the center of the outer circle of the sub-dial. DT×1 indicates that the distance magnification for the radius of the outer circle of the sub-dial is 1.

[0082] That is, DT×1 indicates that it is on the outer shape of the subdial. Therefore, the position of the small 24-hour clock image 140 is determined so that the center of the small 24-hour clock image 140 coincides with the position on the outer shape of the subdial image 130 that is rotated 180° clockwise from the direction directly above the center of the subdial image 130.

[0083] In the management server 10, for the sub-display dials that indicate the time other than the function display dial, the common component images shown in Figures 6 to 10 and 12 are arranged based on the determined arrangement, and for the function display dial, the component images created for each clock are read from the memory unit 16 and arranged, and a dial image 110 that imitates the clock 200 as shown in Figure 14 is generated.

[0084] The management server 10 then arranges the generated dial image 110 and other component images such as operation buttons to generate the operation screen 100. In this way, the administrator inputs the layout information and component images related to the hands and sub-dial faces of the clock 200 in the management server 10, thereby generating the stored operation screen 100 for the hand correction process of the clock 200.

[0085] Furthermore, the management server 10 according to this embodiment can generate the same operation screen 100 for another clock 300 having a different face shape, arrangement of sub-faces, or type of function display dial, as shown in Fig. 15. The clock 300 has an hour hand 312a, a minute hand 312b, a second hand 312c, a 24-hour counter 320, a subdial 330, a sub-24-hour counter 340, a function display dial 260, and a date window 351 on a face 300A. While the face image 110 has a circular outer shape, the face 300A is substantially rectangular.

[0086] The administrator inputs layout information and component images for each hand and each sub-dial of the clock 300 into the management server 10, which stores the information in a component information data table in the storage unit 16 shown in Fig. 1. When the storage unit 16 of the management server 10 stores the component information for the clock 300, the management server 10 starts an operation screen generation process.

[0087] As described above, the layout of the base image 111 and the main hand image 112 is determined so that their centers coincide with the origin, which is the center of the dial image 110. As for the 24-hour meter 320, subdial 330, function display dial 260, and date window 351, the positions of the 24-hour meter image 120, subdial image 130, function display dial image 160, and date window image 151 in the coordinates on the dial image 110 are identified and the layout is determined from the angle and distance magnification of the data table shown in FIG.

[0088] 16, the angle of the small 24-hour meter 340 is input as DT180° and the distance magnification as DT×1.5. Therefore, the position of the small 24-hour meter image 140 is determined so that the small 24-hour meter image 140 is positioned 1.5 times the radius of the outer circle from the center of the sub-dial image 130, and the position of the small 24-hour meter image 140 is rotated 180° clockwise from the direction directly above the center of the sub-dial image 130.

[0089] The management server 10 arranges the common component images shown in FIGS. 6 to 10 and 12 based on the determined arrangement, and for the function display panel, component images created for each watch are read from the storage unit 16 and arranged, generating a dial image 110 that resembles the watch 300 as shown in FIG. 17. The management server 10 then arranges the generated dial image 110 and other component images, such as operation buttons, to generate the operation screen 100. Also, in FIG. 17, the function display panel image 160B and the base image 111 are displayed partially overlapping each other. That is, the function display panel image 160B appears to protrude beyond the base image 111. Even in this state, the arrangement relationship is reproduced on the operation screen 100, so the user can adequately grasp the arrangement of the sub-dial surfaces, such as the function display panel 360, on the face 300A of the watch 300 to be operated from the dial image 110.

[0090] In this way, even if the layout or shape of the sub-dial faces of clock 200 as shown in Figure 1 or clock 300 as shown in Figure 15 is different, the management server 10 can automatically generate the input operation screen 100 for clock 300 by having the administrator input layout information and images for each hand and each sub-dial face of clock 300.

[0091] In this embodiment, for the function indicator dial, a component image of a dedicated sub-dial surface is generated for each type of watch and stored in the storage unit 16 of the management server 10. Furthermore, for the function indicator dial, the position of the hand axis, the range of movement of the hand, the number of steps, etc. are also set by a parameter table (not shown) included in the component information in the storage unit 16. The number of steps indicates the number of times the hand moves in one cycle. One cycle of the function hand corresponds to the range of movement of the hand mentioned above.

[0092] Next, the operation screen generation process will be described using the flowchart shown in Fig. 18. The operation screen generation process is a screen that the user operates during needle calibration processing on the user terminal 1. When the operation screen generation process is executed, as shown in Fig. 2, the part information acquisition unit 34, the layout information acquisition unit 35, the operation screen generation unit 36, and the operation screen management unit 37 function in the processor 11. The operation screen generation process is started when the input processing unit 33 receives an input operation from the administrator of the management server 10 to store part information of a new type of watch 200 in the data table of part information in the storage unit 16.

[0093] First, the operation screen management unit 37 searches for component information of the added clock 200 from the database of component information stored in the storage unit 16 (step S10). Next, the component information acquisition unit 34 acquires the component information of the added clock 200, and the placement information acquisition unit 35 acquires the placement information of the added clock 200 (step S11). In other words, the management server 10 executes an acquisition step of acquiring component information indicating components that are arranged on the face 200A of the clock 200 and for which the position of a portion indicating information or a display indicating information changes, and placement information indicating the position of the component information on the face 200A.

[0094] Next, the operation screen generation unit 36 ​​checks whether or not a function display panel is present based on the component information of the added clock 200 (step S12). If the added clock 200 has a function display panel (step S12: YES), the operation screen generation unit 36 ​​acquires an image of the function display panel of the clock 200 from the storage unit 16 based on the component information (step S13), and proceeds to step S14. If the added clock 200 does not have a function display panel (step S12: NO), the operation screen generation unit 36 ​​proceeds to step S14.

[0095] Next, the operation screen generating unit 36 ​​checks whether or not each sub-dial surface is present based on the component information of the added clock 200 (step S14). Next, the operation screen generating unit 36 ​​acquires component images of the sub-dial surfaces of the clock 200 other than the function display panel from the storage unit 16 based on the component information (step S15).

[0096] Next, the operation screen generation unit 36 ​​generates a dial image based on the acquired sub-dial component image and layout information, and further generates an operation screen on which the generated dial image and other images are arranged (step S16). That is, the management server 10 identifies the position on the image of the 24-hour meter image 120, sub-dial image 130, sub-24-hour meter image 140, date window image 151, or function display panel image 160 corresponding to the component information based on the layout information, and executes a generation step of generating an operation dial image 110 to be used when operating the clock 200 from the user terminal 1. Next, the operation screen management unit 37 stores the generated operation screen in the database of the storage unit 16 (step S17), and ends the process.

[0097] Before transmitting the operation screen 100 including the watch face image 110 to the user terminal 1, the management server 10 receives from the user terminal 1 a request to send an operation screen along with information regarding the type of watch used by the user. The management server 10 selects necessary component information from the storage unit 16 based on the information regarding the type of watch. Based on the selected component information, the management server 10 reads the operation screen 100 stored in the database of the storage unit 16 and sends it to the user terminal 1. The operation screen transmission request includes information regarding the type of watch to be operated during short-range communication. The operation screen transmission request is not limited to information regarding the type of watch to be operated during short-range communication, and may also include information regarding the types of all types of watches registered by the user in the user terminal 1. In other words, the watch face image 110 sent to the user may be of all models registered by the user in the user terminal 1, or the watch face image 110 may be limited to watches currently connected via BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy). The management server 10 searches the storage unit 16 based on information about the type of the watch to be operated, which is included in the operation screen transmission request, to identify the operation screen 100 of the watch to be operated, and transmits it to the user terminal 1.

[0098] Furthermore, the watch to be operated itself may have information regarding the arrangement of the watch face image 110. In this case, when the watch is connected to the user terminal 1 via BLE, the user terminal 1 sends the arrangement information of the watch face image 110 read from the watch to the management server 10, and the management server 10 sends the operation screen 100 including the watch face image 110 to the user terminal 1 based on the sent arrangement information. Note that in a configuration in which the user terminal 1 generates the operation screen, the management server 10 searches the storage unit 16 based on information regarding the type of the watch to be operated included in the operation screen transmission request, identifies the arrangement information, part information, and part image of the watch to be operated, and sends them to the user terminal 1.

[0099] The management server 10 configured as described above is provided with a control unit 30 that acquires component information indicating the 24-hour counter 220, sub-dial 230, small 24-hour counter 240, date window 251, or function display panel 260 that is placed on the face 200A of the clock 200 and whose position or display indicating information changes, and component images such as the 24-hour counter image 120, sub-dial image 130, small 24-hour counter image 140, date window image 151, or function display panel image 160 that correspond to the component information, associates the component information with multiple types of clocks 200, and sets component images common to the multiple types of clocks 200.

[0100] This allows for the component images showing the components placed on the face 200A of multiple types of timepieces 200 to be managed in common, thereby reducing the number of component images corresponding to the components and enabling efficient management of the component images.

[0101] The control unit 30 also acquires function panel information indicating function panels including function hands arranged on the face 200A of the watch 200 and a function display panel image 160 corresponding to the function panel information, and associates the function hand information with a portion of the multiple types of watches 200 to identify the watch to which the function display panel image 160 applies. Note that the portion of the multiple types of watches 200 may be one or more. For example, a function display panel image 160 may be associated with each watch 200, or a function display panel image 160 may be shared by a group of watches 200.

[0102] This allows component images corresponding to components whose specifications do not change much to be standardized, while function display panel images corresponding to function panels whose specifications change significantly from watch to watch can be handled individually. The function display panel images 160, which have dramatically different impressions, effectively improve the reproducibility of the watch 200, while improving the maintainability of the app and reducing the amount of information held by the management server 10.

[0103] Furthermore, the control unit 30 associates the component information with placement information that indicates the position of the component information on the board surface 200A.

[0104] This allows the management server 10 to acquire component information and automatically arrange and generate the sub-display component images, instead of the operation panel image 110 that the manager had to generate in the management server 10 every time a new type of clock is made, thereby reducing the labor of the manager in generating the images.

[0105] The placement information also includes, when the center of rotation of the pointer that is located in the center of the dial surface 200A and rotates in both directions is taken as the origin, the distance magnification between the origin and the 24-hour counter 220, the subdial 230, the small 24-hour counter 240, the date window 251, or the function display dial 260, and the angle between a predetermined reference direction based on the origin and the direction from the origin to the 24-hour counter 220, the subdial 230, the small 24-hour counter 240, the date window 251, or the function display dial 260.

[0106] As a result, the management server 10 according to this embodiment can represent the position of a part using polar coordinates, thereby reducing the amount of information to be stored compared to when the position is represented using three real numbers in Cartesian coordinates. Also, since there are many different screen sizes for the user terminal 1, the operation screen may need to be enlarged or reduced depending on the screen size. When enlarging or reducing the operation screen, the management server 10 need only multiply the distance information by a factor, compared to multiplying each of the three axis values ​​by a factor as in the case of Cartesian coordinates, thereby reducing the amount of calculation.

[0107] The part information also includes linked part information indicating the 24-hour counter 220, the sub-dial 230, the sub-24-hour counter 240, the date window 251 or the function display panel 260, which are in a relationship in which the position of the part showing information or the display showing information changes in conjunction with a change in the position of the part showing information or the display showing information possessed by other parts.

[0108] This allows the administrator of the management server 10 to input interlocking part information into the management server 10, which automatically sets interlocking parts for multiple parts that rotate in conjunction with each other, making it possible to generate board images more efficiently.

[0109] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and any modifications and improvements that can achieve the object of the present invention are included in the present invention.

[0110] In the above-described embodiment, the center of the circle that outlines the board image 110 is the origin, the direction directly upward from the origin is 0°, the radius of the circle is 1, and clockwise is positive, and the position on the board is expressed like polar coordinates using an angle and a distance magnification that is the ratio of the distance from the origin to the radius of the circle. However, this is not limited to this. For example, the position on the board may be expressed like Cartesian coordinates, with the center of the circle that outlines the board image 110 as the origin, the left-right direction of the circle center as the x-axis, and the up-down direction as the y-axis.

[0111] In the above-described embodiment, the management server 10 to which the present invention is applied has been described as a server, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can be applied to electronic devices in general that have an operation screen generation processing function. Specifically, the present invention can be applied to personal computers, portable terminals such as smartphones and tablet terminals, and wearable terminals such as smart watches.

[0112] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the management server 10 identifies the position on the image of the component image corresponding to the component information based on the arrangement information, and generates the operation dial image 110 to be used when operating the watch 200 from the user terminal 1, but this is not limited to this. For example, when the user terminal 1 executes the needle correction process, instead of transmitting the operation screen 100 to the user terminal 1, the management server 10 may transmit component information including component information, arrangement information, and component images such as the sub-dial and the needle to the user terminal 1, and have the user terminal 1 generate the operation screen based on the received component information.

[0113] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the arrangement information is stored in the storage unit 16 of the management server 10, but this is not limiting. For example, the arrangement information may be stored in the user terminal 1 or in the clock 200. Here, if the clock 200 has the arrangement information, the user terminal 1 may transmit the arrangement information read by the user terminal 1 from the clock 200 to the management server 10 at the timing when the clock 200 and the user terminal 1 start short-range communication. In this case, the management server 10 generates a board image based on the transmitted arrangement information, and further generates an operation screen, and transmits the operation screen to the user terminal 1.

[0114] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the management server 10 transmits the operation screen 100, which has been generated in advance and stored in the storage unit 16, to the user terminal 1 upon receiving a request to transmit an operation screen from the user terminal 1, but this is not limited to this. The management server 10 may have a specific information acquisition unit that acquires specific information as model information of the clock from an external terminal, and the specific information acquisition unit may acquire the specific information transmitted from the user terminal 1, and based on the specific information, acquire component information that is arranged on the face 200A of the clock 200 and indicates the 24-hour counter 220, the subdial 230, the sub 24-hour counter 240, the date window 251, or the function display panel 260, and placement information that indicates the position of the component information on the face 200A.

[0115] Furthermore, the management server 10 does not have to store all component information; for example, it may store only component images and parameters of the sub-dial surface of the function pointer, and the user terminal 1 may store component information excluding component images and parameters of the sub-dial surface and pointers, etc., excluding the function display panel.

[0116] The above-described series of processes can be executed by hardware or software. In other words, the functional configuration of FIG. 3 is merely an example and is not particularly limited. That is, it is sufficient for the management server 10 to be provided with a function that can execute the above-described series of processes as a whole, and the type of functional block used to realize this function is not particularly limited to the example of FIG. 3. Furthermore, one functional block may be configured as a single piece of hardware, a single piece of software, or a combination thereof.

[0117] When a series of processes is executed by software, the programs that make up the software are installed into a computer or the like from a network or a recording medium. The computer may be a computer built into dedicated hardware. Alternatively, the computer may be a computer that can execute various functions by installing various programs, such as a general-purpose personal computer.

[0118] The recording medium containing such a program may be a removable medium distributed separately from the device main body to provide the program to the user, or may be a recording medium provided to the user in a state where it is pre-installed in the device main body. Removable media may be, for example, a magnetic disk (including a floppy disk), an optical disk, or a magneto-optical disk. Optical disks may be, for example, CD-ROMs (Compact Disk-Read Only Memory), DVDs (Digital Versatile Disks), Blu-ray (registered trademark) Discs, etc. Magneto-optical disks may be, for example, MDs (Mini-Disks), etc. Furthermore, a recording medium provided to the user in a state where it is pre-installed in the device main body may be, for example, the ROM 12 in FIG. 2 on which the program is recorded, or a hard disk included in the storage unit 16 in FIG. 2.

[0119] In this specification, the steps of describing a program to be recorded on a recording medium include not only processes that are performed chronologically in accordance with the order, but also processes that are not necessarily performed chronologically but are performed in parallel or individually.

[0120] Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are merely illustrative and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention. The present invention can take on various other embodiments, and various modifications such as omissions and substitutions can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
