  • Patent number: 10771728
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display (display unit), a camera (imaging unit), sensors, and a controller. The controller determines the state of the electronic device on the basis of a detection result of a first sensor among the sensors. The controller causes the display to display, when the determined state is a first state, a first overlay image in which first sensor information based on a detection result of a second sensor among the sensors is overlaid on an image captured by the camera. The controller causes the display to display, when the determined state is a second state, a second overlay image in which second sensor information based on the detection result of the second sensor among the plurality of sensors is overlaid on the image captured by the camera. The second sensor information differs from the first sensor information.
