1. A mobile electronic device, comprising:
- a first sensor configured to detect proximity of a user to the mobile electronic device,a second sensor configured to detect a biological response originating from an inside of a body of the user of the mobile electronic device, including a heartbeat or pulse of the heart of the user, anda controller configured to determine that the mobile electronic device is present within a storing part provided on clothing when the biological response is detected by the second sensor in a case where proximity of the user to the mobile electronic device has been detected by the first sensor;
whereinthe controller is configured to determine that the mobile electronic device is present within the storing part by virtue of a condition that proximity of the user to the mobile electronic device is continuously detected by the first sensor after determining that the mobile electronic device is present within the storing part, andthe controller is configured to determine that the mobile electronic device is present within the storing part by virtue of a condition that the biological response is continuously detected by the second sensor after determining that the mobile electronic device is present within the storing part.

13. A control method that a mobile electronic device including a sensor is caused to carry out, the control method comprising:
-
detecting proximity of a user to the mobile electronic device, detecting a biological response originating from an inside of a body of the user of the mobile electronic device and including a heartbeat or pulse of the heart of the user when proximity of the user to the mobile electronic device is detected, determining that the mobile electronic device is present within a storing part provided on clothing when the biological response is detected; determining that the mobile electronic device is present within the storing part by virtue of a condition that proximity of the user to the mobile electronic device is continuously detected by the first sensor after determining that the mobile electronic device is present within the storing part, and determining that the mobile electronic device is present within the storing part by virtue of a condition that the biological response is continuously detected by the second sensor after determining that the mobile electronic device is present within the storing part.
