Abstract:
1. A method of controlling a mobile terminal apparatus, the method comprising: selecting, using a processor, a sensor from a plurality of sensors installed on the mobile terminal apparatus based on both of power consumption for determining whether the mobile terminal apparatus has moved based on an output of at least any one of the sensors and power consumption for identifying a position of the mobile terminal apparatus; determining whether the mobile terminal apparatus has moved based on an output of the sensor selected in the selecting; and identifying a position of the mobile terminal apparatus when the determining determines that the mobile terminal apparatus has moved, wherein the selecting selects the sensor from the sensors based on an index indicating a success rate or failure rate of the determining of whether the mobile terminal apparatus has moved based on the output of at least any one of the sensors; the selecting selects the sensor from the sensors based on both of first information and second information stored in a memory, the first information associating at least any one of the sensors with power consumption for determining whether the mobile terminal apparatus has moved based on the output of at least any one of the sensors, the second information associating at least any one of the sensors with the index; and the first information associates at least two of the sensors with power consumption arising upon determining whether the mobile terminal apparatus has moved based on outputs of the at least two of the sensors operated simultaneously.
