Abstract
To provide an electronic device, which is carried by a user and is provided with a voice input unit, provided with a detection unit detecting a proximity state of the electronic device and the user and a control unit controlling the detection sensitivity of a voice input unit according to a detection result by the detection unit. Preferably, the detection unit detects a wearing state of the electronic device by the user and, when a non-wearing state where is detected by the detection unit, the control unit increases the detection sensitivity of the voice input unit to be higher than the detection sensitivity of the voice input unit in the wearing state.
Claims12
An electronic device configured to be worn by a user, the electronic device comprising:
- a microphone;
- a sensor;
- and
- a processor which is configured to:
- detect whether the user is performing an arm motion, based on an output of the sensor;
- and
- in a case where it is detected that the user is performing the arm motion, control the microphone to set a detection sensitivity of the microphone to be higher than the detection sensitivity of the microphone in a state where the user is not performing the arm motion.
A voice input sensitivity control method executed by a computer of an electronic device configured to be worn by a user, the electronic device comprising a microphone and a sensor, and the method comprising:
- detecting whether the user is performing an arm motion, based on an output of the sensor;
- and
- when it is detected that the user is performing the arm motion, controlling the microphone to set a detection sensitivity thereof to be higher than a detection sensitivity thereof in a state where the user is not performing the arm motion.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a voice input sensitivity control program executable by a computer of an electronic device configured to be worn by a user, the electronic device comprising a microphone and a sensor, and the program being executable to control the computer to execute processing comprising:
- detecting whether the user is performing an arm motion, based on an output of the sensor;
- and
- when it is detected that the user is performing the arm motion, controlling the microphone to set a detection sensitivity thereof to be higher than a detection sensitivity thereof in a state where the user is not performing the arm motion.
