Electronic timepiece, time adjustment method for an electronic timepiece, and control program for an electronic timepiece
First Claim
1. An electronic timepiece, comprising:
- a reception unit that can receive satellite signals transmitted from positioning information satellites and acquire time information and positioning information;
a time zone data storage component that stores region data dividing geographical information for which time zone information is set into a plurality of regions, and time zone information for each region;
a time zone information acquisition component that extracts a region containing positioning information acquired by the reception unit from the region data, and acquires the time zone information for that region;
a time zone information display that displays the time zone information acquired by the time zone information acquisition component as time zone candidates;
a user operated input device;
a time zone information selection component that selects time zone information from the time zone candidates displayed on the time zone information display based on operation of the user operated input device;
a time calculation component that calculates the current time based on the time information acquired by the reception unit and the time zone information selected by the time zone information selection component; and
a time display that displays the current time.

8. A time adjustment method for an electronic timepiece, comprising:
-
storing region data dividing geographical information for which time zone information is set into a plurality of regions, and time zone information for each region; receiving satellite signals transmitted from positioning information satellites and acquiring time information and positioning information; extracting a region containing positioning information acquired by the reception step from the region data, and acquires the time zone information for that region; displaying the time zone information acquired by the time zone information acquisition step as time zone candidates; selecting time zone information from the displayed time zone candidates based on operation of a user operated input device; calculating the current time based on the time information acquired by the reception step and the time zone information selected by the time zone information selection step; and displaying the current time.

9. A control program for an electronic timepiece comprising a reception unit that can receive satellite signals transmitted from positioning information satellites and acquire time information and positioning information, a control device, a storage device that stores region data dividing geographical information for which time zone information is set into a plurality of regions, and time zone information for each region, a user operated input device, and a display device, wherein the control program, when executed, causes the control device to:
-
extract a region containing positioning information acquired by the reception unit from the region data and acquire the time zone information for that region; display the acquired time zone information as time zone candidates; select time zone information from the displayed time zone candidates based on operation of the user operated input device; calculate the current time based on the time information acquired by the reception unit and the selected time zone information; and display the current time.
