Activation method and portable terminal

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a portable terminal to execute a process, the process comprising:

• determining a sequence of activation of a plurality of detection modules each of which is configured to detect a state, for a first condition related to results of detection by the plurality of detection modules;
• first activating a detection module that is a first in the sequence;
• and
• second activating a certain detection module other than the detection module that is the first in the sequence, upon detecting that a result of detection by a first detection module whose turn in the sequence is immediately before a turn of the certain detection module satisfies a second condition which corresponds to the first detection module and is included in the first condition.

An activation method, comprising:

• determining, by using a processor, a sequence of activation of a plurality of detection modules each of which is configured to detect a state, for a first condition related to results of detection by the plurality of detection modules;
• first activating, by the using processor, a detection module that is a first in the sequence;
• and
• second activating, by using the processor, a certain detection module other than the detection module that is the first in the sequence, upon detecting that a result of detection by a first detection module whose turn in the sequence is immediately before a turn of the certain detection module satisfies a second condition which corresponds to the first detection module and is included in the first condition.
