Abstract:
A mobile electronic device (e.g., a smartphone) includes an atmospheric pressure sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a controller. The atmospheric pressure sensor detects atmospheric pressure acting on the mobile electronic device. The acceleration sensor detects acceleration acting on the mobile electronic device. The controller detects traveling of the device on the basis of the acceleration. The controller calculates a change in an altitude of the device by correcting a change in the atmospheric pressure observed while the device is traveling, on the basis of a change in the atmospheric pressure observed while the device is not traveling.
