17. A portable electronic device comprising:
-
a housing; an acceleration detection unit housed in the housing; a counting unit that counts steps based on temporal changes in acceleration detected by the acceleration detection unit; a count determination unit that determines whether the counting unit determined that a fixed number of steps is counted from a start or restart of the count; a determination unit that determines whether a new step is counted by the counting unit during a predetermined period after the fixed number of steps has been counted if the count determination unit determined that the fixed number of steps has been counted; and a count control unit that controls the counting unit to cancel the fixed number of steps from total number of steps counted by the counting unit if the determination unit determined that a new step has not been counted within the predetermined period. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
