SchachuhrChess clock

Die anspruchsgemäße Schachuhr ist eine Kombination von klassischer Zeigerschachuhr mit den üblichen Spieltasten und verschiedenen elektronischen digitalen Anzeigefeldern für die Kontrolle des Spielablaufes. Die Abbildung 1 zeigt die Frontseite und die Abbildung 2 die Rückseite der Schachuhr.The sophisticated chess clock is a combination of a classic pointer chess clock with the usual game buttons and various electronic digital display fields for controlling the game. Figure 1 shows the front and Figure 2 the back of the chess clock.

Die Blättchenfalleinrichtung ist durch ein elektronisches Balkendiagramm (A) ersetzt. Der Verbrauch der letzten Spielminute wird damit in diskreten Sekundenabschnitten grafisch dargestellt. Das Blättchenfallereignis kann außerdem durch das rote Signal einer Doppelleuchtanzeige (C) signalisiert werden. Das Signal ist mit dem entsprechenden Schalter (G)5 Blättchenfall Aus, auf der Rückseite der Schachuhr abschaltbar.The leaf drop device has been replaced by an electronic bar graph (A). The consumption of the last minute of play is thus graphically displayed in discrete second increments. The leaf drop event can also be signaled by the red signal of a double light display (C). The signal can be switched off using the corresponding switch (G) 5 Leaf drop off on the back of the chess clock.

Im Gegensatz zur mechanischen Schachuhr werden die Zeiger nicht per Hand, sondern elektronisch eingestellt. Da eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Spielprogrammen, auf der Rückseite im Feld (I) vermerkt, wählbar sind, stellen sich die Zeiger nach der Spielartbestätigung auf eine sinnfällige Position, und die elektronischen Anzeigefelder (B) zeigen zunächst die gesamte verbleibende Spielzeit an. Während des Spielverlaufes bleibt die Synchronität zwischen Zeigeranzeige (FI) und elektronischer Anzeige (B) erhalten. Die aktive Uhr wird durch die grün leuchtende Doppelleuchtanzeige (C) signalisiert. Die Zeiger bewegen sich entsprechend der Aktivzeiten vorwärts. Der Minutenzeiger bewegt sich mit Minutenschritten. Die elektronische Anzeige (B) informiert sekundengenau über den Fortgang der verbrauchten Spielzeit. In der jeweils letzten Spielminute zeigen die Balkendiagramme (A) zusätzlich den Zeitverbrauch grafisch an. Die elektronische Anzeige (B) zählt jedoch im Gegensatz zur Zeigeranzeige rückwärts.In contrast to the mechanical chess clock, the hands are not set by hand, but electronically. Since a large number of different game programs can be selected, noted on the back in field (I), the hands move to an obvious position after the game type has been confirmed, and the electronic display fields (B) initially show the total remaining playing time. During the game, the synchronization between the hands display (FI) and the electronic display (B) is maintained. The active clock is signaled by the green double light display (C). The hands move forward according to the active times. The minute hand moves in minute increments. The electronic display (B) provides information on the progress of the playing time used, down to the second. In the last minute of the game, the bar diagrams (A) also show the time used graphically. However, the electronic display (B) counts backwards, unlike the hands display.

Gegenüber herkömmlichen, rein analogen oder vollständig digitalen Schachuhren bietet die Erfindung eine Kombination von schnell erfaßbaren analogen Zeitanzeigen (Zeiger und Balkendiagramm) und der exakten sekundengenauen Information digitaler Zeitdarstellung. Die weitere Verwendung der klassischen Zeigeranzeige für die Spieldauer ermöglicht dem Spieler eine problemlose Gewöhnung an die neuartige Schachuhr.Compared to conventional, purely analogue or fully digital chess clocks, the invention offers a combination of quickly comprehensible analogue time displays (hands and bar chart) and the exact, second-accurate information of digital time display. The continued use of the classic hand display for the game duration allows the player to easily get used to the new chess clock.
