Abstract

In one aspect of the present invention, a mobile electronic device determines, when it is in a sleep state, a moving state of the mobile electronic device based on detection results of an acceleration sensor, a direction sensor, and a gyroscope. For example, the mobile electronic device determines whether a user is moving in a train, is moving on foot, or is moving in a car. The mobile electronic device displays information corresponding to the moving state (for example, in a train or a car, or on foot) on the display when returning from the sleep state to light up the display again.

Claims

1. A mobile electronic device comprising:

a display configured to display information; and

a controller configured to determine a moving state, wherein

the controller is configured to decide information to be displayed when the display is lit up based on the moving state.

2. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an acquiring module configured to acquire position information, wherein

the controller is configured to decide information to be displayed on the display based on the moving state and the position information.

3. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein

the controller is configured to decide information to be displayed on the display based on transition of the moving state.

4. A display control method executed by a mobile electronic device having a display, the display control method comprising:

a step of determining a moving state; and

a step of changing information to be displayed when the display is lit up based on the moving state.

5. A non-transitory storage medium having a display control program for causing a mobile electronic device having a display to execute:

a step of determining a moving state; and

a step of changing information to be displayed when the display is lit up based on the moving state.
