Abstract

A mobile electronic device according to an embodiment includes an annunciator that performs notification about an event, and a controller that causes the annunciator to perform the notification about the event when a lifting operation that lifts the mobile electronic device has been detected. A mobile electronic device includes an annunciator performing notification about an event, and a controller causing the annunciator to perform the notification about the event when it is detected that the mobile electronic device has made a transition to a handheld state.

Claims

1. A mobile electronic device, comprising:

an annunciator performing notification about an event; and

a controller causing the annunciator to perform the notification about the event when a lifting operation that lifts the mobile electronic device has been detected.

2. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the controller causes the annunciator to perform notification about an event again for which an operation responding to the notification has not been detected although having been notified by the annunciator when the lifting operation has been detected.

3. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the controller causes the annunciator to perform notification through sound or vibration when the lifting operation has been detected.

7. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the annunciator generates sound.

8. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the annunciator generates light.

9. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the annunciator generates vibration.

4. A mobile electronic device, comprising:

an annunciator performing notification about an event; and

a controller causing the annunciator to perform the notification about the event when it is detected that the mobile electronic device has made a transition to a handheld state.

5. A control method for a mobile electronic device, the control method comprising the steps of:

determining a state of the mobile electronic device; and

performing notification about an event when a lifting operation that lifts the mobile electronic device has been detected.
