Abstract
A satellite signal reception device can reliably execute a satellite signal reception process. The satellite signal reception device has a reception time setting unitthat sets a reception time; a timekeeping unit that keeps internal time; and a scheduled reception control unitthat executes a time-based reception process that operates the reception unit when the time kept by the timekeeping unit reaches the reception time. By having a scheduled reception control unit, the reception process can be executed when the internal time goes to the reception time set by the reception time setting unit. The reception process is therefore executed once a day. The satellite signal reception process can therefore be executed reliably without being affected by how the device is used, the season, weather, or other factors.
