ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONTROL MEANS THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18302969 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONTROL MEANS THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a second control unit that determines whether to calculate the movement distance or angle of the device based on its power supply and user's use state.

  • The electronic device has a second control unit that determines the calculation based on power supply and use state.
  • The second control unit calculates the movement distance or angle based on the detection result of a distance/angle detector.
  • The power supply of the device is controlled according to the calculation result.
  • If the power supply is OFF, the second control unit calculates the angle of the device.
  • If the power supply is ON and the use state detector does not detect user activity, the second control unit calculates the movement distance.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a second control unit configured to determine which of a movement distance of the electronic device and an angle of the electronic device is calculated according to a state of a power supply of the electronic device and a use state that is detected by a use state detector that detects a use state of the electronic device by a user, calculates the movement distance or the angle of the electronic device based on a detection result of the distance/angle detector, and controls the power supply of the electronic device according to the calculation result, and in a case in which the power supply of the electronic device is OFF, the second control unit calculates the angle of the electronic device, and in a case in which the power supply of the electronic device is ON, the second control unit calculates the movement distance in a case in which the use state detector does not detect a state in which the user is using the electronic device.
