    摘要: A satellite signal reception device can reliably execute a satellite signal reception process. The satellite signal reception device has a reception time setting unit 71 that sets a reception time; a timekeeping unit that keeps internal time; and a scheduled reception control unit 72 that executes a time-based reception process that operates the reception unit when the time kept by the timekeeping unit reaches the reception time. By having a scheduled reception control unit 72, the reception process can be executed when the internal time goes to the reception time set by the reception time setting unit 71. The reception process is therefore executed once a day. The satellite signal reception process can therefore be executed reliably without being affected by how the device is used, the season, weather, or other factors.

    摘要: An electronic timepiece can improve the frequency of satellite signal reception and reduce power consumption. Such timepiece, e.g., a wristwatch has a GPS device that executes a reception process that locks onto a GPS satellite and receives satellite signals; a reception control unit that controls the reception process; and a solar panel that detects illuminance. The reception control unit includes an illuminance-based reception control unit that runs a reception process based on the detected illuminance, and a scheduled reception control unit that runs a reception process when a preset scheduled time is reached. The illuminance-based reception control unit stops reception when a satellite is not locked onto within a first locking time, and the scheduled reception control unit stops reception when a satellite is not locked onto in a second locking time that is shorter than the first locking time.

    摘要: A satellite signal reception device that can desirably receive satellite signals has a charge state detection circuit 43 and a voltage detection circuit 44 that detect if the satellite signal reception device is outdoors, and a control circuit 40. If the satellite signal reception device is determined to be outdoors based on the detection result from the charge state detection circuit 43 and voltage detection circuit 44, the control circuit 40 operates a GPS reception circuit 30. If an indoor state in which the satellite signal reception device is determined to not be outdoors continues for at least a predetermined specific time, the control circuit 40 operates the GPS reception circuit 30 at a preset scheduled reception time.
