1. An electronic device comprising:
- a first sensor;
a second sensor;
a third sensor; and
a controller which includes one or more processors,wherein;
(i) the second sensor is turned on based on a detection result of the first sensor,(ii) the third sensor is turned on based on a detection result of the second sensor, and(iii) the first sensor is turned off based on a detection result of the third sensor, andwherein the controller is returned to a first power mode from a second power mode, in which power consumption is lower than power consumption of the first power mode, based on a detection result of the second sensor.

Abstract
In an electronic device, a first sensor detects a detection target on a first region. A second sensor detects a detection target on a second region. A third sensor detects a detection target on a third region. A power control unit turns on the second sensor in a case where the first sensor detects the detection target on the first region. The power control unit turns on the third sensor and turns off the first sensor in a case where the second sensor detects the detection target on the second region.
