Abstract

An electronic device includes: a communication unit that communicates with a first device through intra-body communication via a body of a user or near field communication; a position obtaining unit that obtains position information of the user; and a storage unit that stores information on use of the first device on a basis of a communication history between the first device and the communication unit, and the position information of the user, and can easily record play information.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a communication unit that communicates with a first device having a first sensor, the first device cooperating with a first kit;

a position detector that detects position information of a user; and

a storage unit that stores an output of the first sensor and the position information of the user.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein

the communication unit is capable of communicating with a second device having a second sensor, the second device cooperating with a second kit different from the first kit;

and

comprising

a determination unit that determines a movement distance of the user depending on communication between the communication unit and at least one of the first device and the second device.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1, comprising an input unit that inputs the output of the first sensor acquired by the first kit, wherein

the storage unit stores the information acquired by the first kit.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4, wherein the acquired by the first kit is sound information.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1, further comprising an input unit that inputs environmental information of a position where the first kit is used, wherein

the storage unit stores the environmental information.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1, further comprising an input unit that inputs posture information of the user, wherein

the storage unit stores the posture information.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein

the communication unit is capable of communicating with a second device having a second sensor, the second device cooperating with a second kit different from the first kit;

and

when the user has the first kit and the second kit and uses one of the first kit or the second kit without using the other one, the storage unit stores information on an unused kit in association with information on a used kit.

10. The electronic device according to claim 1, further comprising a transmission unit that transmits the information stored in the storage unit to an external device.

11. The electronic device according to claim 1, further comprising a report unit that reports the information stored in the storage unit to the user based on the user'"'"'s position detected by the position detector.

13. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the position detector detects the position information of the user based on the output of the first sensor.

14. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the storage unit stores a first positional information by the position detector based on a first output of the first sensor, and a second positional information by the position detector based on a second output of the first sensor.

15. The electronic device according to claim 14, wherein the storage unit stores a distance between the first positional information and the second positional information.

16. The electronic device according to claim 15, wherein the storage unit stores the distance relating to the first output of the first sensor.

17. The electronic device according to claim 1, further comprising a display that displays distance information, the distance information being based on a first positional information by the position detector based on a first output of the first sensor and a second positional information by the position detector based on a second output of the first sensor.
