Patent Images
1. An electronic device which can be fitted on a body of a user, the electronic device comprising:
- a hardware processor configured to estimate action of the user by using one or more sensors; and
a receiver configured to receive first notification information and filtering information from an external device associated with the electronic device, the filtering information indicative of whether the user should be notified of the first notification information for each action type, whereinthe hardware processor is configured to;
determine whether the estimated action is of an action type for which notification of the first notification information is permitted based on the estimated action and the filtering information; and
execute, when the estimated action is of the action type for which notification of the first notification information is permitted, processing for notifying the user of the first notification information.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic device, which can be fitted on a body of a user, estimates action of the user by using one or more sensors. The electronic device receives first notification information detected by an external device, and filtering information indicative of an action type for which notification of the first notification information should be permitted or prohibited. The electronic device executes, when the estimated action is of the action type for which notification of the first notification information is permitted, processing for notifying the user of the first notification information.
