Abstract

An object is to enhance a user'"'"'s motivation for cheering for a sport and motivate the user to cheer at a stadium or the like. An electronic apparatus (10) includes: at least one motion detecting device (13); and at least one control device (11), the at least one control device (11) being configured to, in a case where at least one motion is detected by the at least one motion detecting device (13), carry out a point acquiring process that includes acquiring a point(s) corresponding to the at least one motion, the at least one motion each being a motion of a body of a user.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

at least one motion detecting device; and

at least one control device,

the at least one control device being configured to, in a case where at least one motion is detected by the at least one motion detecting device, carry out a point acquiring process that includes acquiring a point(s) corresponding to the at least one motion, the at least one motion each being a motion of a body of a user.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising at least one information presenting device,

wherein the at least one control device is configured to further carry out an information presenting process that includes causing the at least one information presenting device to present information corresponding to accumulated points, the accumulated points having been obtained by sequentially adding the point(s) acquired through the point acquiring process each time the at least one motion is detected.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the information presenting process includes causing the at least one information presenting device to display the accumulated points in a visible manner.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 3, wherein:

the at least one control device is configured to further carry out a point information acquiring process, the point information acquiring process including acquiring point information related to points accumulated in a control device of another electronic apparatus; and

the information presenting process includes causing the at least one information presenting device to also display, in a visible manner, the points related to the point information acquired through the point information acquiring process.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one control device is configured to carry out the point acquiring process so as to acquire more points in a case where at least one specific motion corresponding to a specific target is detected by the at least one motion detecting device than in a case where a motion other than the specific motion is detected by the at least one motion detecting device.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the point acquiring process includes, in the case where the at least one specific motion is detected by the at least one motion detecting device, (i) comparing the at least one specific motion thus detected with a reference motion that is a standard gesture for the specific target and (ii) in accordance with a result of comparison, increasing or reducing the number of points to be acquired.

7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the at least one control device is configured to further carry out a point indicator process that includes using accumulated points as an indicator indicative of a positive evaluation of the specific target, the accumulated points having been obtained by sequentially adding the point(s) acquired through the point acquiring process each time the at least one specific motion is detected.

8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:

the at least one control device is configured to further carry out a location information acquiring process that includes acquiring location information related to a location where the user is present; and

the point acquiring process includes acquiring the point(s) which correspond(s) to (i) the location information acquired through the location information acquiring process and (ii) the at least one motion.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing therein a program for causing a computer to function as the at least one control device of an electronic apparatus according to claim 1.

10. A control device for controlling an electronic apparatus,

the control device comprising a point acquiring section that is configured to, in a case where at least one motion is detected by a motion detecting device, acquire a point(s) corresponding to the at least one motion, the at least one motion each being a motion of a body of a user.

11. A method of controlling an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

a motion detecting step comprising detecting at least one motion, the at least one motion each being a motion of a body of a user; and

a point acquiring step comprising, in a case where the at least one motion is detected in the motion detecting step, acquiring a point(s) corresponding to the at least one motion.
