Abstract
An electronic device is configured to send positional information to an external device configured to set the positional information to data, the electronic device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire positional information; and a sender unit configured to send information to the external device, wherein the sender unit is configured to send the external device a command not to set positional information received from the electronic device in a case where a mode not allowing the external device to set positional information to data is chosen.
Claims23
An electronic device configured to send positional information to an external device configured to set the positional information to data, the electronic device comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire positional information;
- a sender unit configured to send information to the external device;
- and
- a configuration unit configured to choose a first mode to allow the external device to set positional information to data or a second mode not to allow the external device to set positional information to data,
- wherein the configuration unit is configured to disable user operation to choose the first mode or the second mode in a case where sending information to the external device is not available for the sender unit.
An electronic device configured to send positional information to an external device configured to set the positional information to data, the electronic device comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire positional information;
- a sender unit configured to send information to the external device;
- and
- a configuration unit configured to choose a first mode to allow the external device to set positional information to data or a second mode not to allow the external device to set positional information to data,
- wherein the sender unit is configured to send the external device a time of change at which the first mode is changed to the second mode under a situation where sending information to the external device is not available for the sender unit together with a command not to set positional information received from the electronic device to data after sending information to the external device becomes available for the sender unit.
An electronic device comprising:
- a generator unit configured to generate data;
- a receiver unit configured to receive information from an external device;
- a storage unit configured to store positional information sent by the external device and received by the receiver unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to set to data positional information generated by the generator unit,
- wherein the receiver unit is configured to receive a time of change at which a mode not to set positional information to data is chosen together with a command not to set positional information to data, and
- wherein the control unit is configured to delete positional information set to data after the time of change from the data to which the positional information is set.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program configured to make a processor of an electronic device configured to send positional information to an external device configured to set positional information to data perform the processing of:
- acquiring positional information;
- choosing a first mode to allow the external device to set positional information to data or a second mode not to allow the external device to set positional information to data;
- and
- disabling user operation to choose the first mode or the second mode in a case where sending information to the external device is not available.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program configured to make a processor of an electronic device configured to send positional information to an external device configured to set positional information to data perform the processing of:
- acquiring positional information;
- and
- sending the external device a time of change at which a first mode is changed to a second mode under a situation where sending information to the external device is not available in the processing of sending together with a command not to set positional information received from the electronic device to data after sending information to the external device becomes available.
