1. An electronic device, comprising:

  • an attachment mechanism configured to be attachable to a user;

    one or more contact detection sensors configured to detect;

    a contact state where at least one of the one or more contact detection sensors is in contact with the user; and

    a non-contact state where the one or more contact detection sensors are not in contact with the user;

    a function circuit configured to be controlled to execute at least one function; and

    one or more processors configured to;

    perform a scanning operation to scan the one or more contact detection sensors;

    judge that the attachment mechanism is in a non-attached state where the attachment mechanism is not attached to the user based on the non-contact state detected by the one or more contact detection sensors;

    judge that the attachment mechanism is in an attached state where the attachment mechanism is attached to the user based on the contact state detected by the at least one of the one or more contact detection sensors;

    in response to judging that the attachment mechanism is in the attached stated, set a period of performing the scanning operation to a first period; and

    in response to judging that the attachment mechanism is in the non-attached state;

    control the function circuit to not execute the at least one function; and

    set the period of performing the scanning operation to a second period longer than the first period.
