摘要:
In an analog electrical timepiece with a motor coil, when an external operating member is in a prescribed operating condition, the operating mode of the analog electrical timepiece is set to the data receive mode. Next, the analog timepiece generates a synchronization signal which is in synchronized to an external synchronization signal that is input from outside. Then, the analog electrical timepiece, when the operating mode is the data receive mode by the detection circuit, based on a synchronization signal and a data voltage signal that is a voltage signal induced around the motor coil by a data signal input from outside, generates and outputs a receive data.

A reception circuit can receive a plurality of standard time signals and has a reception means for selectively receiving and demodulating any one of the plural standard time signals, and a control means for outputting a control signal that controls the reception means. The reception means includes a signal amplifier unit for amplifying a reception signal representing the received standard time signal; a signal extraction unit for extracting a signal of a specific frequency from the amplified reception signal; a rectifier unit for rectifying the extracted signal of the specific frequency; and a demodulation unit for demodulating the rectified signal of the specific frequency. The signal extraction unit includes a plurality of crystal filters corresponding to the frequencies of the plural standard time signals; a plurality of parallel capacitances corresponding to the plural crystal filters and parallel connected to the plural crystal filters; a filter switching unit for switching the plural crystal filters based on the control signal; and a parallel capacitance switching unit for switching the plural parallel capacitances based on the control signal. The control means outputs to the filter switching unit and the parallel capacitance switching unit a control signal denoting the switch states enabling the reception means to receive the standard time signal.

摘要:
When a frequency measurement unit measures the frequency of a temperature-sensing oscillation test signal and the frequency of a driving-pulse signal transmitted from an electronic apparatus via an coil electromagnetically coupled with a motor coil, a temperature-compensation data generation unit creates temperature-compensation data based on the frequency of the temperature-sensing oscillation test signal and the frequency of the driving-pulse signal. This temperature-compensation data is transmitted to an analog electronic timepiece via the coil. That is, a state of the analog electronic timepiece is measured in a non-contact manner and the temperature-compensation data obtained based on the measurement result is transmitted, whereby the analog electronic timepiece is adjusted in a state of being incorporated in an external casing.

An electronic timepiece with internal antenna maintains sufficiently high reception performance of circularly polarized waves even when having a metal external case. The timepiece has a cylindrical case; a crystal that covers the opening on the face side of the case; a drive mechanism that arranged inside the case; a metal antenna; and a dielectric. The antenna houses the drive mechanism and has a cylindrical side part, a bottom part that covers the opening on the back side of the side part, and an antenna electrode that contacts the inside of the side part. The back cover covers the back side of the case and is also the bottom part. The dielectric extends circumferentially to the side part, and contacts the antenna electrode in the face-back cover direction. A slot extending circumferentially is formed in the antenna electrode. Part or all of the slot is covered by the dielectric.

A radio-controlled timepiece that receives a standard time signal containing a time code and adjusts the time based on the received standard time signal includes: a reception unit that receives the standard time signal; an analog/digital conversion unit that digitizes the received standard time signal based on a prescribed threshold value; a time counter that keeps time; a time code generator that generates a reference time code based on the time counted by the time counter; a duty evaluation unit that calculates the pulse duty cycle of the digital signal output from the A/D conversion unit, and determines if the received pulse duty cycle that is calculated matches the duty cycle of the reference time code generated by the time code generator; a level changing unit that changes the relative level of the threshold value to the reception signal if the duty evaluation unit determines that the received pulse duty cycle does not match the duty cycle of the reference time code; and a time code decoder that decodes the digital signal and demodulates the time code if the duty evaluation unit determines that the received pulse duty cycle matches the duty cycle of the reference time code.
