Patent number: 8725414Abstract: In an information processing device, when a positional information acquiring unit acquires positional information calculated from GPS signals and the like, a movement area setting unit sets a movement area with a size corresponding to a distance between a current location and a destination. When the positional information acquiring unit acquires positional information indicating a current location after setting this movement area, a judgment unit judges whether the positional information is within the movement area. Then, as a result of this judgment, in a case of being within the movement area, a display control unit executes display control of a display unit so as to display on a map the positional information, and in a case of being outside of the movement area, so as not to display on the map the positional information.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2013Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shimpei Matsuda, Takeahi Matsue, Munetaka Seo

Patent number: 7778775Abstract: CPU instructs RF controlling section to switch RF section from an inoperative mode to an operation mode and from the operation mode to the inoperative mode. When all of five pieces of sub-frame data have not been acquired, RF section is switched intermittently from the inoperative mode to the operation mode in synchronization with transmission of lacking sub-frame data, thereby acquiring such lacking sub-frame data. When all the five pieces of sub-frame data have been acquired, the current position is calculated using positional information contained in the sub-frame data. A part of five pieces of sub-frame data including the first to fifth sub-frame data transmitted from a satellite in a time series manner is acquired from GPS signal received in the operation mode, and the remaining part of the five pieces of sub-frame data is acquired in operation mode set at other timing, and then the positional information is judged based on the five pieces of sub-frame data acquired in the above manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2007Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kunio Okada, Shimpei Matsuda
