Timer measurement device, electronic timepiece, timer measurement method, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing program

A timer measurement method which is performed by a timer measurement device including:

• a signal output unit which outputs a clock signal of a predetermined frequency;
• a memory which stores (i) ordered time settings including at least respective timer values and (ii) a number of measurement cycles for the time settings;
• and an operation input unit which receives an input operation, the timer measurement method comprising:
• when an elapsed time that is measured by using the clock signal reaches a timer value included in a time setting selected from the time settings, resetting the elapsed time, and switching the currently selected time setting to a next time setting among the ordered time settings;
• repeating the measurement of the elapsed time for the timer values of the time settings for the number of measurement cycles;
• when the operation input unit receives a predetermined change command during the measurement of the elapsed time for the timer value of the currently selected time setting, performing, in response to the change command, a change processing which changes a remaining time with respect to the elapsed time for the timer value of the currently selected time setting;
• and
• during the measurement of the elapsed time for a change processing-performed time setting, the change processing-performed time setting being a time setting among the time settings with respect to which the change processing was performed, using, as the timer value of the change processing-performed time setting measured in a measurement cycle subsequent to a measurement cycle in which the change processing was performed, a timer value which corresponds to the elapsed time having been measured in accordance with the change processing.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program which is performed by a computer including:

• a signal output unit which outputs a clock signal of a predetermined frequency;
• a memory which stores (i) ordered time settings including at least respective timer values and (ii) a number of measurement cycles for the time settings;
• and an operation input unit which receives an input operation, the program causing the computer to:
• when an elapsed time that is measured by using the clock signal reaches a timer value included in a time setting selected from the time settings, reset the elapsed time, and switch the currently selected time setting to a next time setting among the ordered time settings;
• repeat the measurement of the elapsed time for the timer values of the time settings for the number of measurement cycles;
• when the operation input unit receives a predetermined change command during the measurement of the elapsed time for the timer value of the currently selected time setting, perform, in response to the change command, a change processing which changes a remaining time with respect to the elapsed time for the timer value of the currently selected time setting;
• and
• during the measurement of the elapsed time for a change processing-performed time setting, the change processing-performed time setting being a time setting among the time settings with respect to which the change processing was performed, using, as the timer value of the change processing-performed time setting measured in a measurement cycle subsequent to a measurement cycle in which the change.
