Abstract
A mobile device comprises a first sensor configured to acquire information for determining whether the device is in the water, a second sensor configured to acquire information for determining whether the device is in a state of being on-board, and at least one controller configured to perform control not to execute processing to determine whether the device is in the state of being on-board when the device is determined to be in the water, and to perform control to execute the processing to determine whether the device is in the state of being on-board when the device is not determined to be in the water.
Claims5
A device, comprising:
- a first sensor configured to acquire first information, the first sensor including a touch screen, the first information including changes in electrostatic capacitance of the touch screen;
- a second sensor configured to acquire second information;
- and
- at least one controller configured to
- determine, based on the first information, whether or not the device is in water,
- in response to determining, based on the first information, that the device is in water,
- refrain from determining whether the device is in a vehicle while maintaining the device being powered on, and
- in response to determining, based on the first information, that the device is not in water,
- determine, based on the second information, whether the device is in a vehicle.
A control method executed by a device that comprises a first sensor, a second sensor and at least one controller, the control method comprising:
- acquiring, by the first sensor, first information, the first sensor including a touch screen, the first information including changes in electrostatic capacitance of the touch screen;
- acquiring, by the second sensor, second information;
- determining, by the at least one controller and based on the first information, whether or not the device is in water;
- in response to determining, based on the first information, that the device is in water,
- refraining from determining, by the at least one controller, whether the device is in a vehicle while maintaining the device being powered on;
- and
- in response to determining, based on the first information, that the device is not in water,
- determining, by the at least one controller and based on the second information, whether the device is in a vehicle.
A non-transitory storage medium that stores a control program for causing a device that comprises a first sensor, a second sensor and at least one controller, to execute:
- acquiring, by the first sensor, first information, the first sensor including a touch screen, the first information including changes in electrostatic capacitance of the touch screen;
- acquiring, by the second sensor, second information;
- determining, by the at least one controller and based on the first information, whether or not the device is in water;
- in response to determining, based on the first information, that the device is in water,
- refraining from determining, by the at least one controller, whether the device is in a vehicle while maintaining the device being powered on;
- and
- in response to determining, based on the first information, that the device is not in water,
- determining, by the at least one controller and based on the second information, whether the device is in a vehicle.
