Electronic timepiece with internal antenna
An electronic timepiece has a case; an annular antenna housed in the case; a time display unit that is disposed on the inside of the antenna, and includes a dial and hands that rotate on a center pivot; and a battery compartment housing a storage battery that feeds the antenna. The antenna is not superimposed with the storage battery held in the battery compartment when seen from the direction perpendicular to the dial.

GPS TIMING FOR VIDEO FRAMES
An image capture device may receive GPS data during capture of video frames. GPS data may be used to increase accuracy of GPS time of the image capture device. GPS time of the image capture device at a later moment in the capture duration may be used to determine the times of earlier captured video frames.

Electronic timepiece and electronic device
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.

ELECTRONIC TIMEPIECE
An electronic timepiece includes a pointing hand, a distance display hand, a magnetic sensor, a GPS receiver receiving GPS time information from a GPS satellite, a storage unit storing ephemeris data of the GPS satellite, and a control unit generating positional information of the electronic timepiece using the GPS time information received by the GPS receiver and the ephemeris data stored in the storage unit and executing navigation using the pointing hand and the distance display hand based on the positional information, an output of the magnetic sensor, and destination site information. When the ephemeris data is stored in the storage unit and then a first predetermined time equal to or less than a valid period of the ephemeris data elapses, the control unit receives the ephemeris data using the GPS receiver and updates the ephemeris data stored in the storage unit to ephemeris data received using the GPS receiver.

SATELLITE RADIO WAVE RECEIVING DEVICE, RADIO CONTROLLED TIMEPIECE, METHOD OF OUTPUTTING DATE AND TIME INFORMATION, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
A satellite radio wave receiving device includes: a receiver that receives a satellite radio wave to identify a reception signal; and a processor that acquires primary date and time information from the identified reception signal and outputs a date and time notifying signal indicating date and time based on the primary date and time information to an outside of the satellite radio wave receiving device. The date and time notifying signal includes at least a timing notifying signal indicating a predetermined timing. The processor determines the predetermined timing without consideration of a timing of a second synchronization point which is a leading edge of every second in the date and time based on the primary date and time information, and outputs the timing notifying signal at the predetermined timing.
