Electronic device, control method, and control program
An electronic device according to one aspect includes: a transmitter configured to transmit a transmission signal; a receiver configured to receive a prescribed signal; an environment estimator configured to be able to estimate a radio wave propagation environment from the received prescribed signal; a person detector configured to detect the presence or absence of a person in the radio wave propagation environment; and a controller configured to reduce a side lobe of a transmission signal when the radio wave propagation environment is determined to be a multipath-rich environment in which reflected waves occur and a person is detected from an estimation result of the environment estimator and a detection result of the person detector.
1. An electronic device comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit a transmission signal;
a receiver configured to receive a prescribed signal;
an environment estimator configured to estimate a radio wave propagation environment from the received prescribed signal;
a person detector configured to detect the presence or absence of a person in the radio wave propagation environment; and
a controller configured to reduce a side lobe of the transmission signal when the radio wave propagation environment is determined to be a multipath-rich environment in which reflected waves occur and a person is detected from an estimation result of the environment estimator and a detection result of the person detector.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller performs directivity control of not reducing the side lobe of the transmission signal when direct waves are determined to be dominant in the environment or when the radio wave propagation environment is determined to be a multipath-rich environment but no person has been detected from the estimation result of the environment estimator and the detection result of the person detector.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission signal is a signal that transmits radio waves supplying power.

at an electronic device comprising a transmitter configured to transmit a transmission signal and a receiver configured to receive a prescribed signal, estimating a radio wave propagation environment from the received prescribed signal;
detecting the presence or absence of a person in the radio wave propagation environment; and
reducing a side lobe of the transmission signal when the radio wave propagation environment is determined to be a multipath-rich environment in which reflected waves occur and a person is detected from an estimation result of the radio wave propagation environment and a detection result of the presence or absence of the person.
5. A control program that causes an electronic device comprising a transmitter configured to transmit a transmission signal and
a receiver configured to receive a prescribed signal to execute:
estimating a radio wave propagation environment from the received prescribed signal;
detecting the presence or absence of a person in the radio wave propagation environment; and
reducing a side lobe of the transmission signal when the radio wave propagation environment is determined to be a multipath-rich environment in which reflected waves occur and a person is detected from an estimation result of the radio wave propagation environment and a detection result of the presence or absence of the person.
