Abstract
A mobile electronic device includes a housing, an atmospheric pressure sensor configured to detect atmospheric pressure inside the housing, and at least one controller configured to shift a current first mode to a second mode when it is determined that the housing is gripped by a user of the mobile electronic device based on the detected atmospheric pressure.
Claims4
A mobile electronic device comprising:
- a housing;
- an atmospheric pressure sensor configured to detect atmospheric pressure inside the housing;
- an acceleration sensor;
- and
- at least one controller configured to shift a current notification mode of notifying acceptance of an incoming call to a public mode of answering to inform a caller of incapability of accepting the incoming call when it is determined that the housing is not in a state of being held in a user's hand based on a detection result of the acceleration sensor, and the housing has been gripped by the user of the mobile electronic device from a state not being held in the user's hand based on the atmospheric pressure inside the housing detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor.
A control method of a mobile electronic device with a housing, an acceleration sensor, and an atmospheric pressure sensor, the control method comprising:
- detecting atmospheric pressure inside the housing using the atmospheric pressure sensor;
- and
- shifting a current notification mode of notifying acceptance of an incoming call to a public mode of answering to inform a caller of incapability of accepting the incoming call when it is determined that the housing is not in a state of being held in a user's hand based on a detection result of the acceleration sensor, and the housing has been gripped by the user of the mobile electronic device from a state not being held in the user's hand based on the atmospheric pressure inside the housing detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor.
A non-transitory storage medium that stores a control program for causing a mobile electronic device with a housing, an acceleration sensor, and an atmospheric pressure sensor to execute:
- detecting atmospheric pressure inside the housing using the atmospheric pressure sensor;
- and
- shifting a current notification mode of notifying acceptance of an incoming call to a public mode of answering to inform a caller of incapability of accepting the incoming call when it is determined that the housing is not in a state of being held in a user's hand based on a detection result of the acceleration sensor, and the housing has been gripped by the user of the mobile electronic device from a state not being held in the user's hand based on the atmospheric pressure inside the housing detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor.
