摘要

An exemplary electronic device is in a housing to be gripped by a right hand and a left hand of a user, and has a plurality of manipulable portions. The electronic device includes: electrodes placed at positions which come in contact with the right hand and left hand of the user gripping the housing; an extractor for extracting an electrocardiographic component of the user from a potential difference between the electrodes; a determination section for determining whether the extracted electrocardiographic component is in a positive direction or a negative direction by referring to a prestored criterion; and a change section for, in accordance with a result of determination by the determination section, changing assignment between each of the plurality of manipulable portions and a manipulation signal generated in response to a manipulation.

1. An electronic device in a housing to be gripped by a right hand and a left hand of a user, the electronic device having a plurality of manipulable portions, comprising:
a first electrode and a second electrode placed at positions which come in contact with the right hand and left hand of the user gripping the housing; an extractor for extracting an electrocardiographic component of the user from a potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode; a determination section for determining whether the electrocardiographic component extracted by the extractor is in a positive direction or a negative direction by referring to a prestored criterion concerning electrocardiographic component potential; and a change section for, in accordance with a result of determination by the determination section, changing assignment between each of the plurality of manipulable portions and a manipulation signal generated in response to a manipulation, the change section assigning each of the plurality of manipulable portions to a respective manipulation signal under a first relationship when the result of determination indicates the positive direction, and assigning each of the plurality of manipulable portions to a respective manipulation signal under a second relationship when the result of determination indicates the negative direction, the second relationship being different from the first relationship.
