Abstract
An electronic device includes a controller for distinguishing a moving state of a user, and a notificator for notifying the user of occurrence of a predetermined event by sound or vibration. The controller decides a notification time period for the notificator according to the moving state at the time of the occurrence of the event, and can thereby adjust the notification time period for the notificator according to the moving state of the user.
Claims5
An electronic device comprising:
- a controller configured to distinguish a moving state of a user out of a plurality of moving states;
- and
- a notificator configured to notify the user of occurrence of a predetermined event by sound or vibration, wherein
- the controller is configured to:
- decide a notification duration for the notificator according to the moving state at the time of the occurrence of the predetermined event, and
- reduce the notification duration in response to a change in the moving state, during notifying the user of the occurrence of the predetermined event, when the moving state after the change is a stop state.
A notification control method in a controller, the method comprising:
- distinguishing a moving state of a user out of a plurality of moving states;
- in response to an occurrence of a predetermined event,
- deciding a notification duration according to the distinguished moving state at the time of the occurrence of the predetermined event, and
- notifying the user of the occurrence of the predetermined event for the decided notification duration by sound or vibration;
- and
- during said notifying the user of the occurrence of the predetermined event, and in response to a change in the moving state when the moving state after the change is a stop state,
- reducing the notification duration.
A non-transitory storage medium that stores a notification control program for causing a controller to execute:
- distinguishing a moving state of a user out of a plurality of moving states;
- in response to an occurrence of a predetermined event,
- deciding a notification duration according to the distinguished moving state at the time of the occurrence of the predetermined event, and
- notifying the user of the occurrence of the predetermined event for the decided notification duration by sound or vibration;
- and
- during said notifying the user of the occurrence of the predetermined event, and in response to a change in the moving state when the moving state after the change is a stop state,
- reducing the notification duration.
