Patent attributes
A mobile device according to one of a plurality of aspects comprises an atmospheric pressure sensor configured to measure a value of atmospheric pressure, a touch screen, and at least one controller configured to conjecture that the mobile device is immersed in water when the value of the atmospheric pressure satisfies a condition. The at least one controller is configured to conjecture whether the mobile device that has been immersed in water is out of the water on the basis of a detection result obtained by the touch screen. The mobile device is able to determine whether the mobile device is immersed in water and whether the mobile device is out of the water, while keeping the electric power consumption low, due to using the touch screen only when determining whether the mobile device is out of the water.
