    Abstract: Synchronization of precision timing signals maintained by multiple communication networks is described. A precision timing signal may be generated based on the change in state of a plurality of processors. Synchronization of the precision timing signals may be facilitated by a computing device monitoring at least two communication networks. The computing device may generate time offsets that are derived from the precision timing signals associated with each communication network. The time offsets may be communicated by the computing devices to remote devices communicatively coupled to the computing device via a first communication network. The remote devices may adjust locally maintained application clocks based on the time offset. The adjustment may synchronize the local application clock with the precision timing signal of a second communication network. In response, a remote device may communicatively couple with the second communication network.

    Abstract: The electronic timepiece has a receiver that receives standard time signals; a detector that samples the received signal and detects the signal level; a calculator that computes, based on the detected signal level, the total signal width of a first level signal in 1-second, and the continuous time of the second level signal; and a code evaluator that determines the code transmitted in the signal based on the calculated total. The signal contains a first code and a second code in which the total signal width of the first level signal in 1 second is the same; the first code is a code that transmits the first level signal in 1 second; the second code is a code that transmits two first level signals separated by a second level signal in 1 second.

    Abstract: Methods for operating portable electronic devices to maintain accurate timing information are provided. In one suitable arrangement, an electronic device may have a real-time clock and a mach-time clock that can be used separately to track the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The offset of the real-time clock and the mach-time clock from UTC can be monitored to determine if there is any oscillator frequency drift, which can be characterized using a linear model. Any variation in drift caused by environment factors such as temperature may also be characterized. In another suitable arrangement, a primary electronic device that is capable of maintaining accurate timing information may transfer that information to a secondary user device. Timing information may be transferred using mach-time values and may then be converted to real-time clock values to ensure that the secondary user device can estimate time accurately even when the device goes to sleep.
