In the moving state, the processor determines that a transition from the moving state to the pause state has occurred in the case where the moving speed acquired by the speed acquisition unit is less than the pause speed threshold. In the pause state, the processor determines that a transition from the pause state to the moving state has occurred in the case where the moving speed acquired by the speed acquisition unit is equal to or more than the moving speed threshold. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronic device comprising: a positioning unit that is configured to receive a signal from a positioning satellite;
