Abstract
An electronic device controls so as to perform display on a display that is visible through the proximity portion; regardless of whether proximity to the proximity portion is detected or not, place the electronic device in a predetermined state to reduce power consumption of the electronic device in response to elapse of a first period without an operation on the operation member; and in a case where proximity to the proximity portion is not detected, place the electronic device in the predetermined state to reduce power consumption of the electronic device in response to elapse of a second period without an operation on the operation member and without proximity to the proximity portion. The second period is shorter than the first period.
Claims19
An electronic device comprising:
- a proximity detector configured to detect proximity to a proximity portion;
- an operation detector configured to detect an operation on an operation member;
- and
- at least one memory and at least one processor which together function as a control unit configured to:
- perform displaying on a display that is visible through the proximity portion;
- regardless of whether proximity to the proximity portion is detected, place the electronic device in a predetermined state to reduce power consumption of the electronic device in response to elapse of a first period without an operation on the operation member;
- and
- in a case where proximity to the proximity portion is not detected, place the electronic device in the predetermined state to reduce power consumption of the electronic device in response to elapse of a second period without an operation on the operation member and without proximity to the proximity portion, the second period being shorter than the first period,
- wherein the control unit issues a predetermined notification before a third period of time, in which the electronic device is in the predetermined state, the third period being shorter than the second period.
A control method of an electronic device, comprising:
- detecting proximity to a proximity portion;
- detecting an operation on an operation member;
- and
- controlling to:
- perform displaying on a display that is visible through the proximity portion;
- regardless of whether proximity to the proximity portion is detected or not, place the electronic device in a predetermined state to reduce power consumption of the electronic device in response to elapse of a first period without an operation on the operation member;
- in a case where proximity to the proximity portion is not detected, place the electronic device in the predetermined state to reduce power consumption of the electronic device in response to elapse of a second period without an operation on the operation member and without proximity to the proximity portion, the second period being shorter than the first period, and
- issuing a predetermined notification before a third period of time, in which the electronic device is in the predetermined state, the third period being shorter than the second period.
A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a program, wherein the program causes a computer to execute a control method of an electronic device, a control method comprising:
- detecting proximity to a proximity portion;
- detecting an operation on an operation member;
- and
- controlling to:
- perform displaying on a display that is visible through the proximity portion;
- regardless of whether proximity to the proximity portion is detected, place the electronic device in a predetermined state to reduce power consumption of the electronic device in response to elapse of a first period without an operation on the operation member;
- in a case where proximity to the proximity portion is not detected, place the electronic device in the predetermined state to reduce power consumption of the electronic device in response to elapse of a second period without an operation on the operation member and without proximity to the proximity portion, the second period being shorter than the first period, and
- issuing a predetermined notification before a third period of time, in which the electronic device is in the predetermined state, the third period being shorter than the second period.
