  • Publication number: 20230067390
    Abstract: An electronic device which is capable of determining whether a user is moving or stationary, includes a speed acquisition unit that acquires a user's moving speed and a processor that determines whether the user is in a moving state or in a pause state. 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.
