  • Publication number: 20190094386
    Abstract: A moving state determining device includes a receiver receiving radiowaves from a positioning satellite and a processor. The processor determines a moving state of a satellite radiowave receiving unit based on a motion state measured by a sensor which measures a motion state, and performs a positioning operation based on information received by the receiver to obtain a current position and an error range thereof. In determining the moving state, a positioning operation result obtained when the error range satisfies a predetermined accuracy standard can be used. The error range is calculated based on a positioning accuracy and a deviation of the obtained current position and a predicted position calculated in accordance with the moving state. The positioning accuracy is obtained by combining each position of positioning satellites from which radiowaves are received and each receiving state of the radiowaves.

  • Publication number: 20190096342
    Abstract: An electronic timepiece includes a display, a driver that drives the display, and a CPU that controls the driver. The CPU inverts, in a time less than or equal to a reference inversion time and at an inversion timing of a constant polarity inversion cycle, a polarity of a voltage to be applied to the display. Additionally, the CPU outputs image data to the driver at an image update timing of a cycle that is synchronized with the inversion cycle and that is equivalent to a reference cycle equal to the inversion cycle multiplied by an inverse of an integer. The image update timing is a time when a reference adjustment time elapses after a timing of the reference cycle. The reference adjustment time is less than a time of the reference cycle and greater than or equal to the reference inversion time.
