A biological information measuring device includes: a biological information measuring unit for measuring biological information of a user; a motion signal output unit for outputting a motion signal corresponding to motion of the user; and a control unit.The control unit causes the biological information measuring unit to measure the biological information when amplitude of the motion signal is smaller than a first setting value during a first period and causes the biological information measuring unit to stop measurement when the amplitude is greater than the first setting value during a second period and there is a period where the amplitude is greater than a second setting value, which is greater than the first setting value, in the second period.
Abstract:
A satellite radio signal receiver includes a receiving section which receives radio signals from satellites and demodulates the signals to identify bits of the demodulated signals as received bits; and a processor. The processor compares each received bit of the satellites with estimated bits which are estimated to be received within a possible deviation range from a current date and time acquired as a reception timing of the received bit to obtain comparison result information between the received bits and the estimated bits in relation to deviations within the possible deviation range with respect to each of the satellites, integrates the comparison result information on the received bits of the satellites, specifies a deviation that satisfies a match condition of the received bits and the estimated bits based on the integrated comparison result information, and acquires date and time information based on the deviation that satisfies the match condition.

Abstract:
A satellite radio signal receiver includes a receiving section and a processor. The receiving section receives a radio signal from a satellite and demodulates the signal to identify each received bit of the signal. The processor compares the identified received bit with estimated bits which are estimated to be received within a possible deviation range set for a current date and time acquired as a reception time of the received bit, so as to obtain information on comparison result in relation to a deviation from the current date and time. The processor detects the deviation which satisfies a predetermined match condition of comparison results for received bits. The processor acquires date and time information based on the detected deviation which satisfies the predetermined match condition.
