Abstract
A timepiece with variable color digital display indicates time in digital format and in a color variable in accordance with the output of a transducer. In the preferred embodiment, the color of the timepiece display is controlled, either in a plurality of steps or substantially continuously, in accordance with the functioning of a heart beating within the body of a timepiece user.
Claims11
The method of simultaneously indicating values of time and values of a physiological quantity, on a single variable color digital display means, by causing said values of time to be indicated on said variable color digital display means in a digital format, and by controlling the color of said variable color digital display means in accordance with said values of said physiological quantity.
A timepiece comprising:
- timekeeping means;
- variable color digital display means for indicating time in a digital format;
- physiological transducer means for measuring a physiological quantity and for developing output electrical signals related to said physiological quantity;
- and
- color control means responsive to said output electrical signals of said physiological transducer means for controlling the color of said variable color digital display means in accordance with said measured physiological quantity.
A timepiece comprising:
- timekeeping means;
- variable color digital display means for indicating time in a digital format;
- heart rate transducer means for measuring heart rate of a user of said timepiece and for developing output electrical signals related to the functioning of a heart beating within the user's body;
- and
- color control means responsive to said output electrical signals of said heart rate transducer means for controlling the color of said variable color digital display means in accordance with functioning of said heart beating.
