Abstract
A drive control device includes a processor configured to control a driver that drives a hand to rotate. The processor measures an elapsed time while a reference period elapses in a timing module that measures time, and based on the elapsed time, causes the driver to drive the hand to rotate a unit number of times per the reference period with a reference interval shorter than the reference period, the unit number of times being plural, and initializes the elapsed time each time the reference period elapses.
Claims21
A drive control device comprising a processor configured to control a driver that drives a hand to rotate,
- wherein the processor
- measures an elapsed time while a reference period elapses in a timing module that measures time, and based on the elapsed time, causes the driver to drive the hand to rotate a unit number of times per the reference period with a reference interval shorter than the reference period, the unit number of times being plural, and
- initializes the elapsed time each time the reference period elapses.
A drive control method for a driver that drives a hand to rotate, comprising:
- measuring an elapsed time while a reference period elapses in a timing module that measures time, and based on the elapsed time, causing the driver to drive the hand to rotate a unit number of times per the reference period with a reference interval shorter than the reference period, the unit number of times being plural;
- and
- initializing the elapsed time each time the reference period elapses.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes, of a drive control device that controls a driver that drives a hand to rotate, a computer to:
- measure an elapsed time while a reference period elapses in a timing module that measures time, and based on the elapsed time, cause the driver to drive the hand to rotate a unit number of times per the reference period with a reference interval shorter than the reference period, the unit number of times being plural;
- and
- initialize the elapsed time each time the reference period elapses.
