Reception control device

A positioning control method used in a reception control device, comprising:

• acquiring a plurality of reception parameters related to reception of positioning signals from a positioning signal receiver that receives the positioning signals from positioning satellites;
• determining a reception environment based on a result of determining the acquired reception parameters according to a plurality of determination conditions set in the plurality of reception parameters;
• controlling an error correction signal receiver that receives an error correction signal for correcting an error of a positioning result by the positioning signals from an error correction satellite based on whether the plurality of determination conditions are met;
• determining, when some of the plurality of determination conditions are not met, whether the determination condition that are not met are supplemented and satisfiable by the reception of the error correction signal by the error correction signal receiver;
• and
• receiving the error correction signal by the error correction signal receiver when it is determined that the determination conditions that are not met are supplemented and satisfiable by the reception of the error correction signal by the error correction signal receiver.

A computer readable, non-transitory recording medium having stored thereon a program that causes a computer of a reception control device to execute operations of:

• acquiring a plurality of reception parameters related to reception of positioning signals from a positioning signal receiver that receives the positioning signals from positioning satellites;
• determining a reception environment based on a result of determining the acquired reception parameters according to a plurality of determination conditions set in the plurality of reception parameters;
• controlling an error correction signal receiver that receives an error correction signal for correcting an error of a positioning result by the positioning signals from an error correction satellite based on whether the plurality of determination conditions are met;
• determining, when some of the plurality of determination conditions are not met, whether the determination condition that are not met are supplemented and satisfiable by the reception of the error correction signal by the error correction signal receiver;
• and
• receiving the error correction signal by the error correction signal receiver when it is determined that the determination conditions that are not met are supplemented and satisfiable by the reception of the error correction signal by the error correction signal receiver.
