Abstract

An electronic device includes a non-contact detection sensor and a controller that executes processing related to a timer in response to a gesture detected by the non-contact detection sensor.

Claims (56)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a proximity sensor; and

a controller configured to execute processing of starting a timer or stopping the timer in response to a first type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor, increasing a set time of the timer in response to a second type gesture detected by the proximity sensor, and decreasing the set time of the timer in response to a third type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor,

wherein,

the controller is further configured to execute processing of closing a window for the set time of the timer in response to a fourth type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor,

the second type of gesture and the third type of gesture are mutually reverse operations, and

the first type of gesture and the fourth type of gesture are mutually reverse operations.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller is configured to execute the processing of starting the timer, in response to the first type of gesture, when the timer is stopped, and stopping the timer, in response to the first type of gesture, when the timer is running.

3. A control method for controlling a processor, the control method comprising:

executing processing of starting a timer or stopping the timer in response to a first type of gesture detected by a proximity sensor, increasing a set time of the timer in response to a second type gesture detected by the proximity sensor, and decreasing the set time of the timer in response to a third type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor; and

executing processing of closing a window for the set time of the timer in response to a fourth type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor,

wherein

the second type of gesture and the third type of gesture are mutually reverse operations, and

the first type of gesture and the fourth type of gesture are mutually reverse operations.

4. The control method according to claim 3 , wherein

the executing processing executes the processing of starting the timer, in response to the first type of gesture, when the timer is stopped, and stopping the timer, in response to the first type of gesture, when the timer is running.

5. An electronic device comprising:

a proximity sensor; and

a controller configured to execute processing of starting a timer or stopping the timer in response to a first type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor, increasing a set time of the timer in response to a second type gesture detected by the proximity sensor, and decreasing the set time of the timer in response to a third type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor,

wherein

the controller turns on the proximity sensor when detecting that a predetermined mode is entered,

the controller is further configured to execute processing of closing a window for the set time of the timer in response to a fourth type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor,

the second type of gesture and the third type of gesture are mutually reverse operations, and

the first type of gesture and the fourth type of gesture are mutually reverse operations.

6. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein

the controller is configured to execute the processing of starting the timer, in response to the first type of gesture, when the timer is stopped, and stopping the timer, in response to the first type of gesture, when the timer is running.

7. An electronic device comprising:

a proximity sensor; and

a controller configured to execute processing of starting a timer or stopping the timer in response to a first type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor, increasing a set time of the timer in response to a second type gesture detected by the proximity sensor, and decreasing the set time of the timer in response to a third type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor,

wherein

the controller determines whether a timer indication is included in a screen displayed on a display in response to another gesture detected by the proximity sensor, and, upon determining that the timer indication is included in the screen displayed on the display, executes the processing of starting the timer or stopping the timer in response to the first type of gesture, increasing the set time of the timer in response to the second type of gesture, and decreasing the set time of the timer in response to the third type of gesture,

the controller is further configured to execute processing of closing a window for the set time of the timer in response to a fourth type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor,

the second type of gesture and the third type of gesture are mutually reverse operations, and

the first type of gesture and the fourth type of gesture are mutually reverse operations.

8. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein

the controller is configured to execute the processing of starting the timer, in response to the first type of gesture, when the timer is stopped, and stopping the timer, in response to the first type of gesture, when the timer is running.

9. A control method for controlling a processor, the control method comprising:

executing processing of starting a timer or stopping the timer in response to a first type of gesture detected by a proximity sensor, increasing a set time of the timer in response to a second type gesture detected by the proximity sensor, and decreasing the set time of the timer in response to a third type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor,

turning on the proximity sensor when detecting that a predetermined mode is entered, and

executing processing of closing a window for the set time of the timer in response to a fourth type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor,

wherein

the second type of gesture and the third type of gesture are mutually reverse operations, and

the first type of gesture and the fourth type of gesture are mutually reverse operations.

10. The control method according to claim 9 , wherein

the executing processing executes the processing of starting the timer, in response to the first type of gesture, when the timer is stopped, and stopping the timer, in response to the first type of gesture, when the timer is running.

11. A control method for controlling a processor, the control method comprising:

executing processing of starting a timer or stopping the timer in response to a first type of gesture detected by a proximity sensor, increasing a set time of the timer in response to a second type gesture detected by the proximity sensor, and decreasing the set time of the timer in response to a third type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor,

determining whether a timer indication is included in a screen displayed on a display in response to another gesture detected by the proximity sensor,

upon determining that the timer indication is included in the screen displayed on the display, executing the processing of starting the timer or stopping the timer in response to the first type of gesture, increasing the set time of the timer in response to the second type of gesture, and decreasing the set time of the timer in response to the third type of gesture, and

executing processing of closing a window for the set time of the timer in response to a fourth type of gesture detected by the proximity sensor,

wherein

the second type of gesture and the third type of gesture are mutually reverse operations, and

the first type of gesture and the fourth type of gesture are mutually reverse operations.

12. The control method according to claim 11 , wherein

the executing processing executes the processing of starting the timer, in response to the first type of gesture, when the timer is stopped, and stopping the timer, in response to the first type of gesture, when the timer is running.
