Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a first detector, a second detector, a third detector and a security controller. The first detector detects a speed of movement of the electronic apparatus. The second detector detects a direction of the movement. The third detector detects whether the electronic device is located in a first area. The security controller updates position information wherein the position information is indicative of a first position in the first area, and executes a monitoring process based on the position information, detection information of the first detector and detection information of the second detector.

Claims (26)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a first detector to detect a speed of movement of the electronic apparatus;

a second detector to detect a direction of the movement;

a wireless communication device; and

a processor configured to:

detect whether the electronic apparatus is located in a first area, by the wireless communication device;

update position information wherein the position information is indicative of a first position in the first area when it is detected that the electronic apparatus is located in the first area; and

execute a monitoring process based on the updated position information, information of the speed of the movement detected by the first detector and information of the direction of the movement detected by the second detector,

wherein the processor is configured to:

give warning when the first detector detects a first speed or faster and the second detector detects a first distance or longer toward a second position in the first area, the second position indicating an exit of the first area; and

stop the warning when the speed is decreased to a speed slower than the first speed.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor comprises information indicative of a border set in the first area, and gives the warning when the movement is performed beyond the border from a side on which the first position is located toward the exit.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processor stops the warning when the movement is performed beyond the border to return from a direction of the exit after the movement is performed beyond the border toward the exit.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the processor detects the entry into the first area when an access point forming a wireless area in the first area is wirelessly connected to the wireless communication device.

5. A security processing method of an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

detecting a speed of movement of the electronic apparatus;

detecting a direction of the movement;

detecting whether the electronic apparatus is located in a first area;

updating position information wherein the position information is indicative of a first position in the first area when it is detected that the electronic apparatus is located in the first area;

giving warning when a first speed or faster is detected and a first distance or longer toward a second position in the first area is detected, based on the updated position information, detection information of the speed and detection information of the direction, the second position indicating a exit of the first area; and

stopping the warning when the speed is decreased to a speed slower than the first speed, based on the updated position information, the detection information of the speed and the detection information of the direction.

6. A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a computer program which is executable by a computer of an electronic apparatus which comprises a first detector configured to detect a speed of movement of the electronic apparatus, a second detector configured to detect a direction of the movement, and a third detector configured to detect whether the electronic apparatus is located in a first area, the computer program controlling the computer to execute functions of:

updating position information wherein the position information is indicative of a first position in the first area when the third detector detects that the electronic apparatus is located in the first area;

giving warning when a first speed or faster is detected and a first distance or longer toward a second position in the first area is detected, based on the updated position information, information of the speed of the movement detected by the first detector and information of the direction of the movement detected by the second detector, the second position indicating a exit of the first area; and

stopping the warning when the speed is decreased to a speed slower than the first speed, based on the updated position information, the information of the speed of the movement detected by the first detector detection and the information of the direction of the movement detected by the second detector.
