Patent Images
1. A unit comprising:
- a receiver which receives a radio signal;
a clocking unit which clocks a time;
a time correcting part which acquires, from the radio signal received by the receiver, time data including information on a time, and corrects a time of the clocking unit based on time information included in the time data;
a display unit for displaying a time of the clocking unit; and
a transmitter which transmits time data including information on a time clocked by the clocking unit and including a level that indicates how many units the obtained time has passed through.

Abstract
A clock system is provided which is capable of synchronizing times of a plurality of units in a system. In a clock system (1) including a plurality of units (10), each of the plurality of units (10) executes: receiving a radio signal; acquiring, from a received radio signal, time data including information on a time, and correcting a time of a clocking unit (106) based on time information included in the time data; displaying a time of the clocking unit (106); and transmitting time data including information on a time clocked by the clocking unit (106) and including a level that indicates how many units (10) the obtained time has passed through, thereby synchronizing times of the plurality of units (10).
