Radio wave-standardized electronic timepiece

A radio wave-standardized electronic timepiece comprising:

• a time information calculation circuit for calculating and processing information about time or other information;
• a display means which receives the output signal from the time information calculation means and displays the information;
• a receiver means which receives a standard time signal produced externally and stores data about it;
• a received data acceptance decision circuit which receives the output signal from the receiver means and makes a decision to see if the received data contains given information;
• a transfer circuit that produces modifying pulses to the time information calculation circuit in response to the received data stored in the receiver means according to the output signal from the received data acceptance decision circuit;
• a reception success time storage circuit that stores the time at which reception is made, in response to the output signal from the transfer circuit according to the output signal from the reception data acceptance decision circuit;
• a reception time addition circuit that adds a given time according to the output signal from the received data acceptance decision circuit;
• a reception success comparison circuit which receives the output signal from the reception success time storage circuit and the output signal from the time information calculation circuit and compares them;
• a reception time comparison circuit which receives the output signal from the reception time addition circuit and the output signal from the time information calculation circuit and compares them;
• and
• a reception operation decision circuit which receives the output signal from the reception success comparison circuit and the output signal from the reception time comparison circuit and controls the operation of the reception means.
