Abstract

To improve the usability of an electronic device, the electronic device includes: a first communication unit located near a user; a receive unit configured to receive data through communication via a body of the user or near field communication between a second communication unit located in a member used by the user and the first communication unit; and a recording unit configured to record data pertaining to the member when communication is established between the first communication unit and the second communication unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising: an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration information of equipment used to perform a swing; an angular velocity sensor that detects angular velocity information of the equipment; and a communication unit configured to transmit the acceleration information and the angular velocity information for the swing at a predetermined interval when the communication unit receives a request from an external device every few seconds.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
when the communication unit receives the request from the external device after communication with the external device is established, the communication unit transmits the acceleration information and the angular velocity information for the swing after the communication is established.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the acceleration sensor is a three-axis acceleration sensor, and
the angular velocity sensor is a three-axis angular velocity sensor.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising
an LED that emits light when the equipment is used.
