Abstract:
1. A time information obtaining device comprising: a receiving section which receives a radio wave including time information and which demodulates a signal from the received radio wave; a code identifying section which identifies a code string showing the time information from the signal demodulated by the receiving section; a decoding section which decodes the identified code string to obtain time information; a consistency confirming section which confirms consistency of time information shown in a plurality of code strings decoded by the decoding section, wherein: at least one of the plurality of code strings with which consistency is confirmed by the consistency confirming section is a selected code string generated by code strings consisting of a predetermined number which is at least 3 identified by the code identifying section; the consistency confirmation section confirms consistency of the plurality of code strings with the selected code string and another code string identified by the code identifying section; the consistency confirming section generates the selected code string using the following: the consistency confirming section includes a matching selected code string portion judging section which judges whether the array of the matching selected code string portion includes carrying to a digit of a ten minute unit; and when the matching selected code string portion judging section judges that carrying to a digit of a ten minute unit is included, the consistency confirming section resets a combination of the predetermined number of code strings so as not to include carrying to a digit of a ten minute unit to generate the selected code string.
