Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic device includes a detection unit that detects movement of at least a housing; an information generation unit that generates vibration information based on a quantity value of a predetermined managed object item and the movement of the housing which is detected by the detection unit; and a vibration unit that vibrates based on the vibration information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electronic device comprising: a detection unit that detects movement of at least a housing; an information generation unit that generates sound information based on a quantity value of a predetermined managed object item and the movement of the housing which is detected by the detection unit; and a sound output unit that outputs a sound based on the sound information. 2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a storage unit that stores instruction information indicating a predetermined instruction detected by the detection unit in association with the managed object item; and a selection unit that selects the managed object item corresponding to the instruction information indicating the instruction when the detection unit detects the instruction, wherein the information generation unit generates the sound information based on the quantity value of the managed object item selected by the selection unit and the movement of the housing which is detected by the detection unit.
