Abstract

An electronic timepiece includes: a measurement result obtaining section configured to obtain a measurement result of a display target item which is any measurement item among a plurality of measurement items; a display configured to display the measurement result of the display target item; and a display controller configured to cause the display to display the measurement result of the display target item during a display period that corresponds to the display target item, in which the display period is set in accordance with each of the plurality of measurement items.

Claims (46)

1. An electronic timepiece comprising:

a display; and

a processor connected to the display, the processor being configured to:

obtain a first measurement reading of a first measurement parameter measured at a first interval;

cause the display to display the first measurement reading for a first display time period which is stored in a memory and is different from the first interval;

obtain a second measurement reading of a second measurement parameter different from the first measurement parameter, the second measurement parameter being measured at a second interval;

cause the display to display the second measurement reading for a second display time period which is stored in the memory and is different from the second interval;

end display of the first measurement reading when the first display time period has elapsed; and

end display of the second measurement reading when the second display time period has elapsed.

2. The electronic timepiece according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a measuring instrument configured to measure the first measurement parameter,

wherein the processor is configured to obtain the first measurement reading by the measuring instrument.

3. The electronic timepiece according to claim 2 , wherein the memory is a storage medium in the electronic timepiece.

4. The electronic timepiece according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a communicator configured to receive the second measurement reading of the second measurement parameter from a measuring device configured to measure the second measurement parameter,

wherein the processor is configured to obtain the second measurement reading received by the communicator.

5. The electronic timepiece according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

obtain the second display time period from the measuring device.

6. The electronic timepiece according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a communicator configured to receive the second measurement reading of the second measurement parameter from a measuring device configured to measure the second measurement parameter,

wherein the processor is configured to obtain the second measurement reading received by the communicator.

7. The electronic timepiece according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

obtain the second display time period from the measuring device.

8. The electronic timepiece according to claim 1 , wherein the display includes:

a dial; and

a pointer rotatable on the dial that indicates the first and second measurement readings.

9. A measurement reading display method performed by using an electronic timepiece configured to display a measurement reading obtained from a sensor of one measurement parameter among a plurality of measurement parameters, the method comprising:

obtaining a first measurement reading of a first measurement parameter measured at a first interval;

displaying the first measurement reading for a first display time period which is stored in a memory and is different from the first interval;

obtaining a second measurement reading of a second measurement parameter different from the first measurement parameter, the second measurement parameter being measured at a second interval;

displaying the second measurement reading for a second display time period which is stored in the memory and is different from the second interval;

ending display of the first measurement reading when the first display time period has elapsed; and

ending display of the second measurement reading when the second display time period has elapsed.

10. A wearable timepiece, comprising:

a display including:

at least one dial having visible digits;

a first mechanically-driven pointer rotatable on the at least one dial; and

a second mechanically-driven pointer rotatable on the at least one dial; and

a processor connected to the display, the processor being configured to:

obtain a first measurement reading of a first measurement parameter measured at a first interval;

cause the display to display the first measurement reading for a first display time period, which is stored in a memory and is different from the first interval, by mechanically driving the first pointer to a first digit of the first measurement reading and mechanically driving the second pointer to a second digit of the first measurement reading;

obtain, from a device separate from the timepiece, a second measurement reading of a second measurement parameter different from the first measurement parameter, the second measurement parameter being measured at a second interval;

cause the display to display the second measurement reading for a second display time period, which is stored in the memory and is different from the second interval, by mechanically driving the first pointer to a first digit of the second measurement reading and mechanically driving the second pointer to a second digit of the second measurement reading;

end display of the first measurement reading when the first display time period has elapsed; and

end display of the second measurement reading when the second display time period has elapsed.

11. The wearable timepiece of claim 10 , wherein the first measurement reading is a number of steps walked by a wearer of the wearable timepiece.
