Abstract

An electronic device includes: a first processing circuit configured to detect voice from ambient sounds in first processing, and when detecting voice after a state of detecting no voice continues for a first period of time or longer, shift procedure to second processing; a second processing circuit configured to determine whether the voice detected from the ambient sound includes a specific word or not in the second processing, while being configured, when the specific word appears within a second period of time after the shifting to the second processing, to shift the procedure to third processing, and, when the specific word does not appear within the second period of time, not to shift the procedure to the third processing; and a third processing circuit configured to activate the specific function in the third processing.
