7. A consumer electronics apparatus connectable to at least one of information terminals and having a predetermined consumer electronics function, comprising:
-
a sensor unit configured to measure information related to a voice or a motion of a user; a receiving unit configured to receive a first signal for notifying that a status of the information terminal being held by the user has changed to a status of not being held or a second signal for notifying that the status of the information terminal not being held by the user has changed to the status of being held from the information terminal; a recognizing unit configured to execute a recognition process based on the information measured by the sensor unit and to acquire information representing a content uttered by the user or a behavior of the user; and a control unit configured to start up the recognizing unit when the receiving unit receives the first signal, and control the predetermined consumer electronics function on the basis of the content uttered by the user or the behavior of the user acquired by the recognizing unit, and terminate the recognizing unit when the receiving unit receives the second signal, and transmit information on a status of the predetermined consumer electronics function to the information terminal.
