Abstract
An electronic device performing short-range wireless communication with an information processing terminal, includes: a processor; a storage storing a program executed by the processor; and a communicator communicating with the information processing terminal by short-range wireless communication. The communicator receives place determination information indicative of a place where the information processing terminal lies. The processor determines whether the communicator is in short-range wireless communication with the information processing terminal, determines whether the information processing terminal is at a registered place registered in advance, based on the place determination information, and changes control of the program based on results of the determinations.
