  • Patent number: 10536810
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus comprises an accelerometer, an air-pressure sensor, a communication unit, and an at least one processor. The at least one processor performs determination processing of determining whether probability that the user will move on a road at the intersection after the user approaches the intersection is high based on change in the air-pressure value if the at least one processor detects approach of the user to the intersection when the user is moving in a predetermined movement manner. The at least one processor sends a notification that the user will move on the intersection to a roadside unit if the probability that the user will move on a road at the intersection is high.
