Abstract

In a digital broadcast receiver, a digital broadcast receiver 10 can receive a digital broadcast signal having data of universal standard time and an intrinsic ID number of a broadcast station, and comprises a clock 26, ROM 18 for storing the intrinsic ID number of the broadcast station and data of a time zone of the broadcast station, and an MPU 27 for controlling the clock 26 and the ROM 18, and the MPU 27 reads data of a time zone of the broadcast station corresponding to the intrinsic ID number of the broadcast station receiving at the most ratio out of the ROM 18 and adds the data of the universal standard time to the data of the time zone to calculate time of a place where the broadcast station receiving most is located and adjusts time of the clock 26 to this calculated time.

Claims

1. A digital broadcast receiver capable of receiving a digital broadcast signal having data of universal standard time and an intrinsic ID number of a broadcast station, comprising:

a clock;

a ROM for storing the intrinsic ID number of the broadcast station and data of a time zone of said broadcast station; and

an MPU for controlling the clock and the ROM, wherein the MPU reads data of a time zone of the broadcast station corresponding to the intrinsic ID number of the broadcast station receiving at the most ratio out of the ROM and adds the data of the universal standard time to the data of said time zone to calculate time of a place where the broadcast station receiving most is located and adjusts time of the clock to said calculated time.

2. A digital broadcast receiver capable of receiving a digital broadcast signal having data of universal standard time and an intrinsic ID number of a broadcast station, comprising:

clock means; and

storage means for storing the intrinsic ID number of the broadcast station and data of a time zone of said broadcast station, wherein data of a time zone of the broadcast station corresponding to the intrinsic ID number of the broadcast station in a received digital broadcast signal is read out of the storage means and time of a place where the broadcast station is located is calculated based on the data of said time zone and the data of the universal standard time and time of the clock means is adjusted to said calculated time.

3. The digital broadcast receiver as defined in claim 2, wherein an adjustment of time of the clock means is made based on the intrinsic ID number of the broadcast station receiving at the most ratio of the received digital broadcast signals.
