Abstract

The present invention provides an apparatus for controlling an electronic stop watch. The apparatus comprises a controller and a transmission media. The controller includes a keyboard for inputting a datum and an output port outputting the datum to the electronic stopwatch. The transmission media connects the electronic stopwatch with the controller, through one of a wire connection and a wireless connection.

Claims

1. An apparatus for controlling an electronic stopwatch, comprising:

a controller including a keyboard for inputting a datum and an output port outputting the datum to the electronic stopwatch; and

a transmission media connecting the electronic stopwatch with the controller, through one of a wire connection and a wireless connection.

2. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller has a time and a date thereon, and comprises a USB input port connected to a personal computer for calibrating the time and the date of the controller.

3. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller has an internal time, and further comprises a radio-controlled clock calibrating the internal time of the controller, and adjusting the internal time according to different time zones.

4. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electronic stopwatch displays an external time, and the controller further comprises a time-setting hot key for manually setting the external time and recording the external time into the controller.

5. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller is an electronic device without a display screen.

6. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller transmits a modulated data stream to the electronic stopwatch via a serial connecting transmission.

7. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wire connection is performed through one of a two-point contact and a three-point contact.

8. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller further includes a function key for indicating a plurality of pre-determined function codes on the electronic stopwatch.

9. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller has a plurality of data types for operating the electronic stopwatch.

10. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, controlling a plurality of electronic stopwatches, wherein the transmission media includes a one-to-multipoint multiplexer, the output port is coupled to the one-to-multipoint multiplexer, and the plurality of electronic stopwatches receive the datum from the controller via the one-to-multipoint multiplexer.

11. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmission media includes one of a connection wire electrically connecting the output port and the electronic stopwatch and a wireless connection between the output port and the electronic stopwatch, so as to transmit the datum from the controller to the electronic stopwatch.

12. A control apparatus, comprising:

a controller including at least one of an outputting port and an transmission terminal, wherein;

the outputting port transmits a datum inputted into the controller to an electronic stopwatch via a connection wire; and

the transmission terminal transmits the datum to the electronic stopwatch via a wireless transmission.

13. An apparatus as claimed in claim 12, wherein the controller has a time and a date thereon, and comprises a USB input port connected to a personal computer for calibrating the time and the date of the controller.

14. An apparatus as claimed in claim 12, wherein the controller has an internal time, and further comprises a radio-controlled clock calibrating the internal time of the controller, and adjusting the internal time according to different time zones.

15. An apparatus as claimed in claim 12, wherein the electronic stopwatch displays an external time, and the controller further comprises a time-setting hot key for manually setting the external time and recording the external time into the controller.

16. An electronic stopwatch, comprising:

a main body of the electronic stopwatch; and

an inputting port, disposed on the main body of the electronic stopwatch, and for electrically connecting to a connection cable, so as to receive a datum through the connection cable into the main body of the electronic stopwatch.

17. An electronic stopwatch as claimed in claim 16, wherein the main body has a time and a date thereon, and comprises a USB input port connected to a personal computer for calibrating the time and the date of the main body.

18. An electronic stopwatch as claimed in claim 16, wherein the main body has an internal time, and further comprises a radio-controlled clock calibrating the internal time of the main body, and adjusting the internal time according to different time zones.

19. An electronic stopwatch as claimed in claim 16, wherein the electronic stopwatch displays an external time, and the main body further comprises a time-setting hot key for manually setting the external time and recording the external time into the electronic stopwatch.

20. An electronic stopwatch as claimed in claim 16, wherein the input port receives a modulated data stream from a controller to the electronic stopwatch via a serial connecting transmission.
