Electronic device, information processing apparatus, control methods therefor, and programs

An electronic device control method comprising:

• transmitting a transmission wave using a transmission antenna;
• receiving a reflection wave generated by reflection of the transmission wave using a reception antenna;
• allowing a frequency at which the transmission wave is transmitted to be variable in multiple segments and detecting an object that reflects the transmission wave using an electronic device based on a transmission signal transmitted as the transmission wave and a reception signal received as the reflection wave;
• and
• transmitting sensing information based on the transmission signal transmitted at a frequency in any of the multiple segments as the transmission wave and the reception signal received as the reflection wave to an information processing apparatus together with position information of the electronic device.

A program configured to cause an electronic device to perform:

• transmitting a transmission wave using a transmission antenna;
• receiving a reflection wave generated by reflection of the transmission wave using a reception antenna;
• allowing a frequency at which the transmission wave is transmitted to be variable in multiple segments and detecting an object that reflects the transmission wave based on a transmission signal transmitted as the transmission wave and a reception signal received as the reflection wave;
• and
• transmitting sensing information to an information processing apparatus together with position information of the electronic device, the sensing information being based on the transmission signal transmitted at a frequency in any of the multiple segments as the transmission wave and the reception signal received as the reflection wave.
