Abstract

A mobile electronic device 1 includes a plurality of sensors, a detector that detects a biological reaction by one of the sensors, and at least one controller 10 that performs control to change a detection cycle of other sensors according to whether the biological reaction is detected.

Claims

1. A mobile electronic device comprising:

a plurality of sensors;

a detector configured to detect a biological reaction by one of the sensors; and

at least one controller configured to perform control to change a detection cycle of other sensors according to whether the biological reaction is detected.

2. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the at least one controller is configured to change the detection cycle used when the biological reaction is detected to a detection cycle shorter than the detection cycle used when no biological reaction is detected.

3. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the at least one controller is configured to change the detection cycle used when no biological reaction is detected to a cycle longer than the detection cycle used when the biological reaction is detected.

4. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the at least one controller is configured to stop the detection by the other sensors when no biological reaction is detected.

5. A control method that is executed by a mobile electronic device including a plurality of sensors, the control method comprising:

detecting a biological reaction by one of the sensors; and

performing control to change a detection cycle of other sensors according to whether the biological reaction is detected.

6. A non-transitory storage medium that stores a program for causing a mobile electronic device including a plurality of sensors to execute:

detecting a biological reaction by one of the sensors; and

performing control to change a detection cycle of other sensors according to whether the biological reaction is detected.
