Abstract
A timepiece, such as a clock or watch, that displays the current time and an analog Azan counter is disclosed. The timepiece comprises at least one device or mechanism to calculate the five (5) azan times based on at least one factor selected from the sun position, longitude and latitude position, time zone, DST system, and day of the year. The Azan analog counter may be attached to at least one device and implemented as an analog hand in the timepiece. A method of identifying and displaying a current time and an analog Azan counter on a timepiece is also disclosed.
Claims22
A timepiece displaying a current time and an Azan analog counter, comprising:
- at least one device to calculate the five (5) azan times based on at least one factor selected from the sun position, longitude and latitude position, and day of the year;
- and
- an Azan analog counter attached to said at least one device and implemented as a hand in said timepiece, wherein the Azan index hand position indicates the number of minutes remaining to (or after) the current Azan.
A method of identifying and displaying a current time and an analog Azan counter on a timepiece, the method comprising:
- configuring a microcontroller unit to keep the analog time movement synchronized with current digital time and adjusting the Azan index movement hand position based on the current time and current azan time,
- wherein the microcontroller unit is configured to recalculate new Azan times, based on one or more variables chosen from longitude and latitude coordinates, Time Zone, Daylight Savings Times (DST) option, and Azan Taqweem system.
