Electronic device and method for controlling electronic device

A method for controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:

• a step of receiving a line-of-sight input corresponding to a line-of-sight of a user who looks at a display;
• a step of performing control to display on the display a display object and display a display item superimposed on the display object;
• and
• a step of performing control such that
• 1) in a case where a predetermined trigger issued before a duration of a gaze state according to the line-of-sight input relative to a first region, in which the display item is displayed, reaches a first time, neither a first function nor a second function is performed,
• 2) in a case where to the predetermined trigger issued in a state where the duration of the gaze state relative to the first region is at least the first time and less than a second time, a part of the display object based on an input position of the line-of-sight input is selected and the first function is performed, and
• 3) in a case where the predetermined trigger issued in a state where the duration of the gaze state relative to the first region is at least the second time, the display item is selected and the second function is performed.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a method for controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:

• a step of receiving a line-of-sight input corresponding to a line-of-sight of a user who looks at a display;
• a step of performing control to display on the display a display object and display a display item superimposed on the display object;
