Abstract
According to a multifunction machine as an electronic apparatus according to the present invention, a badge is arranged on a screen displayed on a display. A number indicating an undelivery number is assigned to the badge. The multifunction machine includes a human sensor that senses the presence or absence of a user in a predetermined area at the periphery of the multifunction machine. Based on a sensing result by the human sensor, determination on whether or not a message is delivered to the user is made. Then, based on such a determination result, the undelivery number is managed.
Claims12
An electronic apparatus including a notification device that when an event that needs to be notified to a user occurs, outputs a message corresponding to the event via voice, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- an estimation device that estimates action of the user including presence or absence of the user in a predetermined area at a periphery of the electronic apparatus;
- a determination device that determines, based on an estimation result by the estimation device, whether or not the message is delivered to the user;
- and
- a management device that manages, based on a determination result by the determination device, an undelivery number as a number of messages not delivered to the user.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a state management program in an electronic apparatus, the state management program causing a computer of the electronic apparatus to implement:
- a notification procedure to output, when an event that needs to be notified to a user occurs, a message corresponding to the event via voice,
- an estimation procedure of estimating action of the user including presence or absence of the user in a predetermined area at a periphery of the electronic apparatus,
- a determination procedure of determining, based on an estimation result by the estimation procedure, whether or not the message is delivered to the user, and
- a management procedure of managing, based on a determination result by the determination procedure, an undelivery number as a number of messages not delivered to the user.
A state management method in an electronic apparatus, the state management method comprising:
- notifying to output, when an event that needs to be notified to a user occurs, a message corresponding to the event via voice;
- estimating action of the user including presence or absence of the user in a predetermined area at a periphery of the electronic apparatus;
- determining, based on an estimation result by the estimating, whether or not the message is delivered to the user;
- and
- managing, based on a determination result by the determining, an undelivery number as a number of messages not delivered to the user.
