  • Publication number: 20190094381
    Abstract: A satellite radiowave receiving device includes a receiver and a processor. The receiver receives radiowaves from a positioning satellite. The processor performs a positioning operation based on the radiowaves received by the receiver to obtain a current position. The processor calculates an error range at the current position based on a positioning accuracy and a deviation. The positioning accuracy is obtained by combining each position of a plurality of positioning satellites and receiving state of radiowaves from each of the plurality of positioning satellites, and the deviation is a deviation of the current position and a predicted position calculated in accordance with a travelling state of the satellite radiowave receiving device.

  • Publication number: 20190094814
    Abstract: An electronic timepiece includes a storage that stores specific-region DST application rule information and local time information that includes, in association with each other, DST application rules for each region and standard-wave transmitting station information indicating each station transmitting standard waves receivable in the region; a processor that controls clock time to be kept by a clock circuit and displays time to be displayed on a display; and a standard wave receiver that receives standard waves and obtains time information. The processor calibrates the clock time based on the time information indicated by the standard waves received by the standard wave receiver, and controls the display time based on whether the specific-region DST application rule information and the DST application rule information associated with the standard-wave transmitting station information indicating a station transmitting the received standard waves satisfy a predetermined condition.

  • 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.
