Abstract
An electronic timepiece includes a timer that clocks a current time, a receiver that receives radio waves, a switch that receives an operation from a user, and a processor. The processor acquires, in accordance with the operation received by the switch, a determination result indicating whether the radio waves are receivable by the receiver, and selects and executes one of a first processing and at least one second processing that differs from the first processing. The first processing is processing to correct the current time clocked by the timer on the basis of the radio waves received by the receiver. The processor does not select the first processing when the determination results indicate that the radio waves are not receivable by the receiver.
Claims6
An electronic timepiece comprising:
- a timer configured to clock a current time;
- a receiver configured to receive low frequency band standard radio waves;
- a communicator configured to wirelessly communicate with a wireless communication device;
- a switch configured to receive an operation from a user;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine a duration of the operation from the user received by the switch;
- acquire a first determination result indicating whether the low frequency band standard radio waves are receivable by the receiver;
- acquire a second determination result indicating whether the duration of the operation is equal to or greater than a first predetermined duration;
- acquire a third determination result indicating whether the duration of the operation is equal to or greater than a second predetermined duration, the second predetermined duration being longer than the first predetermined duration;
- and
- based on the first determination result, the second determination result and the third determination result, select and execute one of a first processing and at least one second processing that differs from the first processing,
- wherein the first processing comprises processing to correct the current time clocked by the timer on the basis of the low frequency band standard radio waves received by the receiver, and
- wherein the at least one second processing comprises processing to correct the current time clocked by the timer on the basis of time information received from the wireless communication device received by the communicator,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- based on the first determination result indicating that the low frequency band standard radio waves are receivable by the receiver and the second determination result indicating that the duration of the operation is less than the first predetermined duration, select and execute the at least one second processing;
- based on the first determination result indicating that the low frequency band standard radio waves are receivable by the receiver and the second determination result indicating that the duration of the operation is equal to or greater than the first predetermined duration, select and execute the first processing;
- and
- based on the first determination result indicating that the low frequency band standard radio waves are not receivable by the receiver and the third determination result indicating that the duration of the operation is not equal to or greater than the second predetermined duration, select and execute the second processing.
