Electronic device, control method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

A control method executed by an electronic device including a non-transitory storage medium configured to store map data, the method comprising the steps of:

• measuring, by using an acceleration sensor, acceleration of the electronic device;
• generating information indicating a trajectory of a user's movement based on a transition of a position of the user of the electronic device;
• acquiring the map data corresponding to a current position of the user;
• detecting that the user is to cross a road based on a positional relationship between a position of the road on a map specified from the acquired map data and the trajectory of the user's movement;
• in response to the detection of crossing the road, performing a determination whether a notification should be made based on information on the road;
• when the information indicates that the road is not a crosswalk, determining that the notification should be made, executing at least one of a user notification to the user and an outside notification to outside, and continuing generating the information indicating the trajectory of the user's movement;
• when the information indicates that the road is a crosswalk, determining that the notification should not be made, and continuing generating the information indicating the trajectory of the user's movement, wherein it is determined that the notification should not be made whenever the information indicates that the road is a crosswalk;
• and
• determining whether the user is to cross the road based on the positional relationship when it is determined that the user is moving with a moving means other than an automobile or a train based on the measured acceleration.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a control program, the control program configured to control an electronic device to execute the steps of:

• generating information indicating a trajectory of a user's movement based on a transition of a position of the user of the electronic device;
• acquiring map data corresponding to a current position of the user;
• detecting that the user is to cross a road based on a positional relationship between a position of the road on a map specified from the acquired map data and the trajectory of the user's movement;
• in response to the detection of crossing the road, performing a determination whether a notification should be made based on information on the road;
• when the information indicates that the road is not a crosswalk, determining that the notification should be made, executing at least one of a user notification to the user and an outside notification to outside, and continuing generating the information indicating the trajectory of the user's movement;
• and
• when the information indicates that the road is a crosswalk, determining that the notification should not be made, and continuing generating the information indicating the trajectory of the user's movement, wherein it is determined that the notification should not be made whenever the information indicates that the road is a crosswalk.
