Electronic timepiece and electronic device
First Claim
1. An electronic timepiece comprising:
- an external operating member;
a controller configured to;
set an operating mode based on a continuous input time for which the external operating member is operated continuously toa first mode that receives a satellite signal from one or more positioning information satellites and adjusts the internal time information based on time information contained in the received satellite signal, ora second mode that receives satellite signals from three or more positioning information satellites and adjusts the internal time information based on time information and positioning information contained in the received satellite signals; and
a receiver configured to receive one or more satellite signals based on the set operating mode;
wherein the continuous input time when the controller sets the first mode is shorter than the continuous input time when the controller sets the second mode.

Abstract
An electronic timepiece enables a simple construction, and an electronic device has the electronic timepiece. A wristwatch has a button or external operating member; a controller that sets the operating mode of the wristwatch based on an input operation of the button. Based on the continuous input time that the button is operated continuously, the controller changes the operating mode between a timekeeping mode that receives a satellite signal from one or more GPS satellites and adjusts the internal time information based on time information contained in the received satellite signal; and a positioning mode that receives satellite signals from three or more GPS satellites and adjusts the internal time information based on time information and positioning information contained in the received satellite signals.

9. A control method of an electronic timepiece comprising:
-
determining a continuous input time during which an external operating member is operated continuously; setting an operating mode based on the determined continuous input time for which the external operating member is operated continuously to a first mode that receives a satellite signal from one or more positioning information satellites and adjusts the internal time information based on time information contained in the received satellite signal, or a second mode that receives satellite signals from three or more positioning information satellites and adjusts the internal time information based on time information and positioning information contained in the received satellite signals; and receiving one or more satellite signals based on the set operating mode; wherein the continuous input time when the controller sets the first mode is shorter than the continuous input time when the controller sets the second mode.
