Mobile terminal, mobile terminal status determination system, program, storage medium and mobile terminal status determination method

摘要

The objective of the invention is to determine the material of an object on which a mobile terminal has been laid. A mobile terminal (1) calculates a first feature amount representative of a movement characteristic in the in-plane direction when the mobile terminal is caused to vibrate with the mobile terminal being laid on a target object. The mobile terminal also calculates a second feature amount representative of a movement characteristic in the out-of-plane direction when the mobile terminal is caused to vibrate with the mobile terminal being laid on the target object. From a database having stored, for each of one or more materials, a range of the first feature amount and a range of the second feature amount with the former range being associated with the latter range, the mobile terminal finds a material on the basis of the calculated first and second feature amounts and determines the found material as the material of the target object.
