摘要:
An electronic timepiece can adjust the input terminal and suppress power consumption. An electronic timepiece has: a reception unit 8 that receives a satellite signal containing time information from a positioning information satellite; a power supply unit 4 having a battery that supplies drive power; a remaining capacity detection unit 5 that measures the remaining battery capacity; and a control unit 9 that controls satellite signal reception by the reception unit 8. The control unit 9 includes a timekeeping unit 91 that keeps time, a time adjustment unit 99 that adjusts the time kept by the timekeeping unit 91 based on the satellite signal received by the reception unit 8, and a prohibition period setting unit 93 that sets a prohibition period in which receiving a satellite signal is prohibited based on the remaining battery capacity measured by the remaining capacity detection unit 5.
摘要:
A time adjustment device has a reception unit that receives a satellite signal transmitted from a positioning information satellite, a time information generating unit that generates internal time information, and a time information adjustment unit that adjusts the internal time information. The satellite signal contains satellite time information that is kept by the positioning information satellite. The reception unit includes a signal level acquisition unit that searches for positioning information satellites and acquires the signal level of the satellite signal transmitted from each positioning information satellite, a reception satellite selection unit that selects a positioning information satellite based on the acquired signal level, and a satellite time information acquisition unit that receives the satellite signal transmitted from the positioning information satellite selected by the reception satellite selection unit, and acquires the satellite time information contained in the satellite signal. The time information adjustment unit adjusts the internal time information based on the acquired satellite time information when the satellite time information acquisition unit has acquired the satellite time information.
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:
An electronic timepiece can determine the reception state in detail, and can display the reception state with high precision. A GPS wristwatch 1 has a reception unit that receives a satellite signal transmitted from a positioning information satellite; a reception level calculating unit 47 that calculates a reception level from the signal strength of the satellite signal; and a reception level display unit 48 that displays the reception level calculated by the reception level calculating unit 47. The reception level calculating unit 47 selects a specific number of satellite signals received from the positioning information satellites in order of greatest signal strength, and calculates the reception level from the signal strengths of the selected satellite signals.

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.
摘要:
An electronic timepiece enables a simple construction, and an electronic device has the electronic timepiece. A wristwatch 1 has a button A 6; a mode setting unit 32 that sets the operating mode of the wristwatch 1 based on an input operation of the button A 6. Based on the continuous input time that the button A 6 is operated continuously, the mode setting unit 32 changes the operating mode between a timekeeping mode that receives satellite signals from one or more GPS satellites and adjusts the internal time information based on time information contained in a received satellite signal; and a positioning mode that receives satellite signals from three or more GPS satellites and adjusts the internal time information based on time information and positioning information contained in the received satellite signals.
