Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes: a recording unit configured to access a recording medium using a head; an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration generated in the electronic apparatus; and a control unit configured to write, in the recording medium or a predetermined memory, detection data indicating a result of the detection by the acceleration sensor or a state of the electronic apparatus detected on the basis of the detection result and retracting, when the detection result satisfies a drop condition for the electronic apparatus defined in advance, the head of the recording unit to a predetermined retraction position.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a recording unit configured to access a recording medium using a head;

an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration generated in the electronic apparatus; and

a control unit configured to write, in the recording medium or a predetermined memory, detection data indicating a result of the detection by the acceleration sensor or a state of the electronic apparatus detected on the basis of the detection result only after the detection result satisfies a drop condition for the electronic apparatus defined in advance.

2. An electronic apparatus control method for controlling a portable electronic apparatus including recording means for accessing a recording medium using a head and an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration, the electronic apparatus control method comprising:

generating detection data indicating a result of the detection by the acceleration sensor or a state of the electronic apparatus detected on the basis of the detection result; and

writing the detection data generated by the generating detection data in the recording medium or a predetermined memory only after the detection result satisfies a drop condition for the electronic apparatus.
