Abstract

An example of the object of the present invention is to provide a technology with which a high precision error table for an oscillation frequency is created. The present invention includes a temperature sensor which measures temperature of the oscillator used in a GPS (Global Positioning System) when a position measurement by the GPS is performed, and a management unit which measures error of an oscillation frequency of the oscillator after the position measurement by the GPS has been performed, creates and stores an error table in which the measured temperature by the temperature sensor is associated with the error.

Claims (17)

1 . A management device comprising:

a temperature sensor which measures temperature of the oscillator used in a GPS (Global Positioning System) when a position measurement by the GPS is performed, and

a management unit which measures error of an oscillation frequency of the oscillator after the position measurement by the GPS has been performed, creates and stores an error table in which the measured temperature by the temperature sensor is associated with the error.

2 . The management device described in claim 1 , wherein when acquisition of information about the GPS is failed in the position measurement, the management unit controls the GPS to perform the position measurement after stopping a device not required for the position measurement by the GPS.

3 . The management device described in claim 1 , wherein the management unit determines whether or not to measure the error of the oscillation frequency according to an acquisition time of the information about the GPS in the position measurement.

4 . The management device described in claim 3 , wherein the management unit sets the acquisition time according to whether or not a parameter required for the position measurement by the GPS is held.

5 . The management device described in claim 1 , wherein the management unit controls the oscillation frequency for the error when the measured temperature is not associated with the error in the error table, on the basis of the error associated with a temperature that is close to the measured temperature.

6 . The management device described in claim 1 , wherein the management unit monitors a change in environment of the position measurement and controls the GPS not to perform the position measurement when the change is not observed.

7 . The management device described in claim 1 further including display unit for displaying a result of the position measurement by the GPS.

8 . The management device described in claim 1 , wherein the management unit determines whether a frequency shift of a TCXO is measured in the past from the error table managed thereby and updates the error table when it is determined that it is not measured or when it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed from an update time and date.

9 . The management device described in claim 8 , wherein when it is determined that the TCXO frequency shift is measured in the past, it is determined whether or not another device has been operated, a process for updating the error table is performed when it is determined that it has been operated, and another device currently operated is stopped and after that, the error table is updated when it is determined that it has not been operated.

10 . A management method comprising:

measuring temperature of the oscillator used in a GPS (Global Positioning System) when a position measurement by the GPS is performed, and

measuring error of an oscillation frequency of the oscillator after the position measurement by the GPS has been performed, creating and storing an error table in which the measured temperature by the temperature sensor is associated with the error.

11 . A program recording medium for storing a program which causes a management device to perform:

a temperature measurement process for measuring temperature of the oscillator used in a GPS (Global Positioning System) when a position measurement by the GPS is performed, and

a management process for measuring error of an oscillation frequency of the oscillator after the position measurement by the GPS has been performed, creating and storing an error table in which the measured temperature by the temperature sensor is associated with the error.
