  • Patent number: 9989648
    Abstract: An electronic device includes: a satellite signal receiving section that receives a satellite signal with which positioning information is overlapped from a positioning satellite; a reception control section that controls driving of the satellite signal receiving section; and a detecting section that detects a state change of the electronic device, in which the reception control section allows the satellite signal receiving section to enter a driving state when the detecting section detects the state change to receive the satellite signal. According to this electronic device, it is possible to reduce a TTFF at the positioning start, and to reduce power consumption in the satellite signal reception.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8441666
    Abstract: A printing system and a printing control method for a printing system that enables automatically resumption of printing after recovering from a printing interrupt event without adding any changes to the conventional page printer, serial printer, line printer, or other type of printer and without needing to monitor which page is being printed when a printing interrupt event occurs. A reprint data management unit temporarily stores one page of print data to which page end information is added. A printing completion monitor monitors reception of a completion report that is sent by the printer when the printer reads the page end information. When the printing completion monitor detects the completion report, the reprint data management unit deletes the stored page of print data. A print interruption monitor detects if a printing interrupt event occurs during printing.
