Abstract
An electronic device includes a communication unit that performs communication with an external apparatus; a timekeeping unit that performs timekeeping of time; and a control unit, after completion of a connection with the external apparatus using the communication unit, updates time of the timekeeping unit using time information when being in a state where time can be set by obtaining the time information from the external apparatus.
Claims20
An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a display configured to display a state of an electronic storage medium accessible by the electronic apparatus;
- communication circuit;
- and
- control circuit configured to
- keep time in the electronic apparatus,
- perform first wireless communication with an external device via the communication circuit,
- provide, through the first wireless communication via the communication circuit, parameters for second wireless communication via the communication circuit,
- establish the second wireless communication with the external device via the communication circuit based on the parameters,
- receive time information, via the second wireless communication, from the external device, and
- update the time kept in the electronic apparatus in accordance with the time information received from the external device,
- wherein the time kept in the electronic apparatus is settable via a time setting manipulation.
A method for an electronic apparatus, comprising:
- displaying, with circuitry, a state of electronic storage medium of the electronic apparatus;
- keeping, by the circuitry, time in the electronic apparatus;
- performing, by the circuitry, first wireless communication with an external device to transmit parameters for a second wireless communication;
- establishing, by the circuitry, the second wireless communication with the external device based on the parameters,
- receiving, by the circuitry, time information, via the second wireless communication, from the external device;
- and
- updating, by the circuitry, the time kept in the electronic apparatus in accordance with the time information received from the external device,
- wherein the time kept in the electronic apparatus is settable via a time setting manipulation.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer-readable instructions that, when executed by control circuit of an electronic apparatus, cause the control circuit to perform a method comprising:
- displaying a state of electronic storage medium of the electronic apparatus;
- keeping time in the electronic apparatus;
- performing first wireless communication with an external device to transmit parameters for a second wireless communication;
- establishing the second wireless communication with the external device based on the parameters;
- receiving time information, via the second wireless communication, from the external device;
- and
- updating the time kept in the electronic apparatus in accordance with the time information received from the external device,
- wherein the time kept in the electronic apparatus is settable via a time setting manipulation.
