Abstract:
A timepiece includes a motor control unit driving a motor for driving an indicating hand, based on an instruction signal, and a control unit receiving an instruction confirmation signal corresponding to a drive state of the motor in response to the instruction signal from the motor control unit, and determining whether or not the motor is driven in accordance with the instruction signal, based on the instruction confirmation signal.
Abstract:
A frequency division circuit includes a first frequency division circuit which divides a frequency of a reference signal that is generated by an oscillation circuit; an input and output terminal from which an output signal of the first frequency division circuit is output to the outside; a selection circuit which outputs one of a first intermediate signal that is one of a signal which is output to the input and output terminal and a signal which is input from the input and output terminal, and a second intermediate signal that is an output signal of the first frequency division circuit, as an intermediate signal; a second frequency division circuit which divides a frequency of the intermediate signal; and a switching time count circuit which counts a predetermined amount of time after startup of the frequency division circuit, and switches the intermediate signal that is output from the selection circuit from the first intermediate signal to the second intermediate signal, after the predetermined amount of time passes.
Abstract:
To receive data normally in communication by an optical signal by an electronic device which transmits data even when a transmission frequency differs. An electronic device transmits a transmission-frequency measurement signal for measuring a transmission frequency of data and transmits the data by using a light source which transmits an optical signal. An electronic timepiece specifies the transmission frequency of data based on the transmission-frequency measurement signal received by a solar battery which receives the optical signal and receiving the data by the solar battery based on the specified transmission frequency.
