Provided is an electronic device comprising a sensor configured to detect a gesture without touching an own device and a controller configured to determine a hand of a user used for operation according to a driver's seat position and determine, according to the hand of the user used for operation, a direction of the gesture based on an output from the sensor.

Electronic device, moving body, program and control method

An electronic key apparatusused by a user of a vehicle in a smart entry system comprises a transceiverconfigured to perform a radio communication with the vehicle, a sensor device including at least one of a GNSS receiverand an acceleration sensor, and a controllerconfigured to control whether to set a transmission stop mode based on an output of the sensor device, the transmission stop mode being for causing the transceiverto stop transmission of a radio signal used for unlocking the vehicle or starting a power source of the vehicle.

Electronic key apparatus, control method, and program

An electronic device is provided with a touch panel of a capacitive type and a controller. The controller, based on a detection value of the touch panel, detects capacitance generated between the touch panel and a contact object and detects, as a contact region, a first region having the capacitance smaller than a capacitance of the other region of the touch panel.

Electronic device and control method

A mobile device includes an acceleration sensor, a touch screen and a controller. The acceleration sensor is capable of detecting a direction and a magnitude of acceleration acting on the mobile device. The touch screen is capable of measuring electrostatic distribution. The controller is capable of executing an estimation whether the mobile device is being immersed in water based on the electrostatic distribution. The controller periodically executes the estimation upon determining that the mobile device is moving in a direction opposite to a gravity direction based on the direction and the magnitude of the acceleration when estimating that the mobile device is being immersed in water.

Mobile device with periodic estimation of underwater state based on detected acceleration

An electronic apparatus that may be enabled by a user's simple operation to a touch panel, a control method of the electronic apparatus, and a control program of the electronic apparatus are provided. An electronic apparatus includes a contact detector, an acceleration detector, a display, a sub-controller for controlling the acceleration detector to detect predetermined acceleration caused by a first tap, and a main controller for controlling the contact detector to detect a contact caused by a second touch and also controlling the display to display the image, wherein the sub-controller activates the main controller when the acceleration detector detects the predetermined acceleration caused by the first tap during non-operation of the main controller, and the main controller, when the acceleration detector detects the predetermined acceleration caused by the first tap and, within a predetermined period therefrom, the contact detector detects the contact caused by the second touch, controls the display to start displaying the image.

Electronic apparatus, control method of electronic apparatus, and control program of electronic apparatus

There is provided an electronic device comprising: a first sensor configured to measure information for determining whether the electronic device is in water; a second sensor configured to measure information for determining whether the electronic device is held by a user of the electronic device; and at least one controller configured to determine whether the electronic device is in the water based on the information measured by the first sensor and thereafter determine whether the electronic device is held by the user of the electronic device based on the information measured by the second sensor.
