Abstract

An analog display device, including: a display; a processor; and an operation member, wherein the display changes a display content by the movable display performing the movement operation, the processor causes the movable display to perform a fast-forward movement operation and display a plurality of display contents in order in accordance with a first input operation, the processor stops the fast-forward movement operation in accordance with a second input operation, and when the processor causes the movable display to perform the fast-forward movement operation, the processor determines a fast-forward movement speed of the movable display in at least a part of switching between display contents which are adjacent to each other in an order of display to a high movement speed which is larger than an average movement speed of the movable display during a round of display of the plurality of display contents.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An analog display device, comprising:
a display which includes a movable display;
a processor which controls a movement operation of the movable display; and
an operation member which receives an input operation by a user, wherein
the display changes a display content by the movable display performing the movement operation,
the processor causes the movable display to begin to move, to perform a fast-forward movement operation and display a plurality of display contents by the display in order in accordance with a first input operation which is received by the operation member,
the processor stops the fast-forward movement operation in accordance with a second input operation which is received by the operation member, and
while further input operation by the operation member is not performed after the first input operation is received and before the second input operation is received, the processor changes a fast-forward movement speed of the movable display in at least a part of switching between display contents which are adjacent to each other in an order of display to a high movement speed which is larger than an average movement speed of the movable display during a round of display of the plurality of display contents by the fast-forward movement operation.

2. The analog display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein, when a movement amount of the movable display for the switching between the adjacent display contents is larger than a predetermined reference amount, the processor determines the fast-forward movement speed of the movable display to the high movement speed.

3. The analog display device according to claim 2 ,
wherein, when the processor causes the movable display to perform the fast-forward movement operation, in a case where switching between adjacent display contents which are displayed in order includes a state in which a display content that is not a target of display is displayed, the processor determines the fast-forward movement speed of the movable display for the switching to the high movement speed.

4. The analog display device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the processor is capable of causing the movable display to perform the movement operation at a plurality of fast-forward movement speeds, and
the high movement speed is a highest speed among the plurality of fast-forward movement speeds.

5. The analog display device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the processor is capable of causing the movable display to perform the movement operation at a plurality of fast-forward movement speeds, and
the high movement speed is a highest speed among the plurality of fast-forward movement speeds.

6. The analog display device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the processor determines a movement speed for a period when the processor does not cause the movable display to move at the high movement speed in the fast-forward movement operation to be smaller than a set movement speed of the movable display which is a speed when the processor causes the display to perform a switching operation of display between two preset display contents.

7. The analog display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein, when the processor causes the movable display to perform the fast-forward movement operation, in a case where switching between adjacent display contents which are displayed in order includes a state in which a display content that is not a target of display is displayed, the processor determines the fast-forward movement speed of the movable display for the switching to the high movement speed.

8. The analog display device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the processor is capable of causing the movable display to perform the movement operation at a plurality of fast-forward movement speeds, and
the high movement speed is a highest speed among the plurality of fast-forward movement speeds.

9. The analog display device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the processor determines a movement speed for a period when the processor does not cause the movable display to move at the high movement speed in the fast-forward movement operation to be smaller than a set movement speed of the movable display which is a speed when the processor causes the display to perform a switching operation of display between two preset display contents.

10. The analog display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is capable of causing the movable display to perform the movement operation at a plurality of fast-forward movement speeds, and
the high movement speed is a highest speed among the plurality of fast-forward movement speeds.

11. The analog display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor determines a movement speed for a period when the processor does not cause the movable display to move at the high movement speed in the fast-forward movement operation to be smaller than a set movement speed of the movable display which is a speed when the processor causes the display to perform a switching operation of display between two preset display contents.

12. The analog display device according to claim 11 ,
wherein the processor is capable of causing the movable display to perform the movement operation at a plurality of fast-forward movement speeds, and
the set movement speed is a highest speed among the plurality of fast-forward movement speeds.

13. The analog display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the movable display includes a display plate which is provided so as to be rotatable.

14. The analog display device according to claim 13 , further comprising a shielding plate which covers one surface of the display plate, wherein
a plurality of marks is provided on the one surface so as to be exposable from an opening of the shielding plate in accordance with a rotation of the display plate, and
the opening is formed so as to be capable of selectively exposing a part of the plurality of marks by the rotation of the display plate.

15. The analog display device according to claim 14 , wherein
the plurality of marks is provided in a predetermined rotation angle range with respect to a rotation shaft of the display plate, and
the processor causes the display plate to perform a rotation operation at the high movement speed for a range outside the predetermined rotation angle range.

16. The analog display device according to claim 14 , wherein
on the display plate, pluralities of marks corresponding to a predetermined number of respective function operations are provided in rotation angle ranges which are different from each other with respect to a rotation shaft of the display plate, the predetermined number being two or more, and
the processor causes the display plate to perform the rotation operation at the high movement speed when, in accordance with the first input operation, the processor causes the display plate to perform the rotation for a range outside a rotation angle range where a plurality of marks corresponding to a function operation which is a target of display is provided.

17. The analog display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor temporarily stops the movable display for a predetermined period for each display of the display content in the fast-forward movement operation of the movable display.

18. An electronic timepiece, comprising:
the analog display device according to claim 1 ; and
a time counter which counts current time,
wherein the display is capable of displaying time corresponding to the current time counted by the time counter by control of
