Electronic device, selection control system, selection method, and recording medium

A system for exchanging information between a server and a wearable electronic device via a network, comprising:

• the server having a first memory and a first processor;
• and
• the electronic device wearable by a user and comprising a second memory;
• a second processor connected to the second memory, and a plurality of sensors that detect an activity state of the user wearing, or having in its vicinity, the electronic device,
• wherein in the server, the first processor reads out a program stored in the first memory to execute the following processes:
• receiving signals from the electronic device representing signals detected by the plurality of sensors;
• determining the activity state of the user based on the received signals;
• selecting one or more of sensors from the plurality of sensors at the electronic device on the basis of the determined activity state of the user;
• transmitting to the electronic device the selection of the one or more of the sensors,
• wherein in the electronic device, the second processor reads out a program stored in the second memory to execute the following processes:
• generating the signals detected by the plurality of sensors;
• transmitting the signals representing the signals detected by the plurality of sensors to the server;
• receiving from the server the selection of the one or more of the sensors;
• causing information sensed by said selected one or more of the sensors to be communicated to the user.

A method for selectively communicating sensed information to a user by a wearable electronic device, the electronic device having a memory;

• a processor connected to the memory, and a plurality of sensors that detects an activity state of the user, the method comprising, via the processor:
• receiving signals from the plurality of sensors;
• determining the activity state of the user based on the received signals;
• selecting one or more of sensors from the plurality of sensors on the basis of the determined activity state;
• deriving, on the basis of the determined activity state, information to be communicated to the user, said information to be communicated to the user being derived from the signals from said selected one or more of the sensors;
• and
• causing said derived information to be communicated to the user.

A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions executable by a processor in a wearable electronic device having a plurality of sensors that detects an activity state of a user, said instructions in the storage medium causing the processor to perform the following:

• receiving signals from the plurality of sensors;
• determining the activity state of the user based on the received signals;
• selecting one or more of sensors from the plurality of sensors on the basis of the determined activity state;
• deriving, on the basis of the determined activity state, information to be communicated to the user, said information to be communicated to the user being derived from the signals from said selected one or more of the sensors;
• and
• causing said derived information to be communicated to the user.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor connected to the memory and configured to receive a plurality of types of information respectively sensed by a plurality of sensors that detect an activity state of a user wearing, or having in its vicinity, the electronic device,
• wherein the processor reads out a program stored in the memory to perform the following processes:
• receiving the plurality of types of information respectively sensed by the plurality of sensors;
• determining the activity state of the user based on the received plurality of types of information;
• selecting one or more of the plurality of types of information on the basis of the determined activity state;
• and
• causing said selected one or more of the plurality of types of information to be communicated to the user.
