Abstract
A method for reducing the positioning time of a GPS receiver is disclosed. In response to a request from a user function for positioning data, a GPS management section instructs a device control section to lower the functions of a group of components. The lowering of the functions of the components reduces the noise level. The GPS management section operates the GPS receiver. The GPS receiver executes an acquisition process in an environment with a low noise level. After completion of the acquisition process, the functions of the component are restored.
