Abstract
To perform stable communication in communication by an optical signal. An electronic device includes a display part having a light source which transmits an optical signal, a direction detection part detecting a direction of a display screen of the display part and a controller transmitting data by the optical signal from the display part to an electronic timepiece when the direction of the display screen detected by the detection part becomes a predetermined direction.
Claims8
An electronic device comprising:
- a display part having a light source which transmits an optical signal;
- a detection part detecting a direction of a display screen of the display part;
- and
- a controller transmitting data by the optical signal from the display part to another electronic device when the direction of the display screen detected by the detection part becomes a predetermined direction.
A communication method in an electronic device, comprising the steps of:
- detecting a direction of a display screen of a display part having a light source which transmits an optical signal by the electronic device;
- and
- performing control to transmit data by the optical signal from the display part by the electronic device when the direction of the display screen detected in the detection step becomes a predetermined direction.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing therein a program which allows a computer to execute the steps of:
- detecting a direction of a display screen of a display part having a light source which transmits an optical signal;
- and
- performing control to transmit data by the optical signal from the display part when the direction of the display screen detected in the detection step becomes a predetermined direction.
