Abstract
A radio signal receiver includes a GPS receiver circuit, an environment detection circuit (charging state detection circuit and voltage detection circuit) that detects is in an environment suited to the radio signal receiver receiving satellite signals, and a control circuit. The control circuit has a first reception control unit that operates the GPS receiver circuit when the radio signal receiver is determined to be in an environment suited to receiving satellite signals based on the result output by the environment detection circuit, a second reception control unit that operates the GPS receiver circuit at a scheduled reception time, and a switching unit that switches operation between the first reception control unit and second reception control unit.
