Moving state determining device, electronic timepiece, moving state determining method, and storage device

A moving state determining method using a receiver receiving radiowaves from a positioning satellite, comprising:

• determining a moving state of a satellite radiowave receiving unit based on a motion state measured by a sensor which measures a motion state of the satellite radiowave receiving unit;
• and
• performing a positioning operation based on information received by the receiver to obtain a current position and an error range of the current position,
• wherein a result of the positioning operation can be used in determining the moving state, the result being obtained when the error range satisfies a predetermined accuracy standard, and
• wherein the error range is calculated based on a positioning accuracy and on a deviation of the current position relative to a predicted position calculated according to a moving state of the satellite radiowave receiving device, the positioning accuracy being obtained by combining a position receiving state of radiowaves for each of a plurality of positioning satellites from which radiowaves are received.

A non-transitory computer readable storage device storing a program readable by a computer comprising a receiver receiving radiowaves from a positioning satellite, the program causing the computer to:

• determine a moving state of a satellite radiowave receiving unit based on a motion state measured by a sensor which measures a motion state of the satellite radiowave receiving unit;
• and
• perform a positioning operation based on information received by the receiver to obtain a current position and an error range of the current position,
• wherein a result of the positioning operation can be used in determining the moving state, the result being obtained when the error range satisfies a predetermined accuracy standard, and
• wherein the error range is calculated based on a positioning accuracy and on a deviation of the current position relative to a predicted position calculated according to a moving state of the satellite radiowave receiving device, the positioning accuracy being obtained by combining a position receiving state of radiowaves for each of a plurality of positioning satellites from which radiowaves are received.
