Abstract

PURPOSE: To always display time or date and time without time-zone differences when moved to various regions having different standard time. CONSTITUTION: Difference in time between time zones where common standard time is applicable and date-time data based on Japan standard time generated by a GPS receiver 1 for each standard time around the world is stored in a memory 2. A compensating processor 3, referring to the stored information in the memory 2, identifies a region including a current position detected by the GPS receiver 1, reads time-zone difference data in the region with respect to the Japan standard time, compensates the date-time data generated by the GPS receiver 1 and outputs it to a display 4 for displaying the date and time with the time-zone difference compensated.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of time difference data stored in the memory 2 with respect to Japan Standard Time by region.
The operation of the above-described embodiment will be briefly described with reference to this figure. Now, when the user is in Cambodia together with the time display device, the correction processing device 4 refers to the information stored in the memory 2 on the basis of the current position detected by the GPS receiver 1, and determines the area by standard time. Since it will be a region including Cambodia, the time difference of this region with respect to Japan (here-
2 hours). Then, the current date and time data input from the GPS receiver 1 is corrected by adding a time difference and output to the display device 3 to display the date and time. As a result, the date and time based on the standard time in Cambodia is displayed on the screen of the display device 3, and the user does not have to perform the time difference correction calculation for the standard time in Cambodia one by one.
