  • Patent number: 12698981
    Abstract: A measurement device includes: an accelerometer; a storage; and at least one processor. In accordance with instructions stored in the storage, the processor acquires data of an acceleration waveform during walking or running of a user from the accelerometer, identifies a time width between a first timing and a second timing based on the acceleration waveform, and counts steps based on the acceleration waveform. The acceleration waveform changes from a negative value to a positive value at the first timing. The acceleration waveform changes from a positive value to a negative value at the second timing. When a predetermined condition is satisfied in counting the steps, the processor counts the acceleration waveform whose time width is greater than a predetermined threshold as two steps and count the acceleration waveform whose time width is smaller than the predetermined threshold as one step.

  • Patent number: 12656743
    Abstract: Time is appropriately corrected without needlessly consuming power. In step S101 and step S102, a CPU of an electronic timepiece determines whether to correct a time measured by a timekeeping circuit. Then, when a determination is made to correct the time measured by the timekeeping circuit, in step S111 and step S112, the time measured by the timekeeping circuit is corrected on the basis of time information held by a wireless device.

  • Patent number: 12656741
    Abstract: An electronic timepiece includes an obtaining circuit, a first processor and a second processor. The obtaining circuit obtains information on current time from outside. The first processor measures time. The second processor is connected to the obtaining circuit. The first processor obtains a synchronization signal corresponding to the current time, obtains the current time, which the second processor obtains from the obtaining circuit, and based on the current time and the synchronization signal, corrects the measuring time, which the first processor is measuring.
