Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
An autonomous radio controlled timepiece comprising a receiver, a processor means connected to said receiver including a time register for storing an actual time value, a decoder connected to said time register, a receiver switch operably connected to said receiver for temporarily actuating said receiver without resetting said time register, a time display unit connected to said time register, means for setting a maximum receiver actuation period connected to said receiver switch, and means for temporarily setting said time display unit to a reference position and for returning, following termination of the maximum receiver actuation period, to the actual time value stored in said time register being responsive to actuation of said receiver by said receiver switch.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
An autonomous radio controlled timepiece comprising a receiver, a processor means connected to said receiver including a time register for storing an actual time value, a decoder connected to said time register, a receiver switch operably connected to said receiver for temporarily actuating said receiver without resetting said time register, a time display unit connected to said time register, means for setting a maximum receiver actuation period connected to said receiver switch, and means for temporarily setting said time display unit to a reference position and for returning, following termination of the maximum receiver actuation period, to the actual time value stored in said time register being responsive to actuation of said receiver by said receiver switch.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
The radio controlled timepiece according to claim 1, wherein said processor means further comprises a coincidence circuit connected to said time register for comparing the actual time value in said time register to a predetermined time and actuating a set time signal transducer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
The radio controlled timepiece according to claim 1, further comprising a reset switch means operably connected to said processor and said receiver for actuating of the receiver and the resetting of at least substantially all registers within said processor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
65 words
The radio controlled timepiece according to claim 3, further comprising a cycle counter for counting each actuation of said receiver effected from said receiver switch or said reset switch means or periodically from said time register, said counter being reset into a reset position if evaluatable time information is received by said receiver and a display for displaying the actual value of said cycle counter.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The radio controlled timepiece according to claim 4, wherein said display is deactivated as long as the value of said cycle counter is not different from the reset position of the cycle counter.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
The radio controlled timepiece according to claim 5, wherein said display is operable in a different mode as long as said receiver is actuated.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
The radio controlled timepiece according to claim 5, wherein said display is operable in a different mode as long as said receiver is actuated.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
The radio controlled timepiece according to claim 6, comprising an interrupter circuit for intermittently actuating said display.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
17 words
The radio controlled timepiece according to claim 7, comprising an interrupter circuit for intermittently actuating said display.
