TIME RECEPTION DEVICE, RADIO WAVE CORRECTION TIMEPIECE, AND CONTROL METHOD OF TIME RECEPTION DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a time reception device that can increase a probability of success in reception even when a reception signal includes noise, and has small misreception.SOLUTION: The time reception device includes a reception circuit which receives a standard radio wave, encoding means of encoding time data received by the reception circuit, bit by bit, and start position determination means of determining the start position of a time code transmitted at intervals of one minute in the encoded time data based upon each piece of bit information of the time data. The encoding means encodes the time data into three kinds of "0", "1", and "P" before the start position determination means determines the start position of the time code (No at S33), and encodes the time data into two kinds of "0" and "1" after the start position determination means determines the start position of the time code (Yes at S33).
