Abstract
An electronic device includes a controller that performs control to enable switching between a first band mode such that a transmission wave is in a first band and a second band mode such that the transmission wave is in a second band broader than the first band. The controller performs control to switch to the second band mode when an object is detected within a predetermined distance in the first band mode.
Claims8
An electronic device comprising:
- a transmitter configured to transmit a transmission wave;
- and
- a controller configured to perform control to enable switching between a first band mode such that the transmission wave is in a first band and a second band mode such that the transmission wave is in a second band broader than the first band;
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- detect whether an object is within a predetermined distance,
- switch to the second band mode upon detecting that the object is within the predetermined distance while in the first mode,
- remain in the second band mode for an entire duration the object is detected as being within the predetermined distance,
- measure a distance to the object based on a beat signal obtained from a signal transmitted as the transmission wave and a signal received as a reflected wave, the reflected wave being a portion of the transmission wave reflected by the object, and
- judge that the object is detected within the predetermined distance when a ratio between a peak in a frequency spectrum obtained based on the beat signal and an average noise intensity excluding the peak in the frequency spectrum exceeds a predetermined threshold.
