  • Publication number: 20190094382
    Abstract: A satellite radiowave receiving device includes a receiver performing a receiving operation of radiowaves transmitted from a positioning satellite and a processor controlling a positioning operation. The processor performs the positioning operation within at least a predetermined maximum positioning interval from a last positioning operation using preliminarily obtained date and time information and valid positional information on the positioning satellite to obtain a current position of the satellite radiowave receiving device and date and time information. The processor causes the receiver to perform the receiving operation within at least a predetermined date and time updating interval shorter than the predetermined maximum positioning interval from a last time when date and time information is obtained from radiowaves transmitted from a positioning satellite to obtain date and time information without the positioning operation.

  • Publication number: 20190094380
    Abstract: A satellite radiowave receiving device includes a receiver and a processor. The receiver acquires and receives radiowaves from a positioning satellite. The processor performing a positioning operation based on the radiowaves received by the receiver to obtain a current position of the satellite radiowave receiving device. The processor causes the receiver to stop an acquiring operation of radiowaves from a new positioning satellite under a predetermined condition while radiowaves are being acquired from a required number of positioning satellite for the positioning operation. If an error range of the obtained current position no longer satisfies a predetermined accuracy standard during a stop of the acquiring operation, the processor causes the receiver to resume the acquiring operation.
