A device comprising: a display device; at least one motion sensor; and circuitry configured to: acquire detection data from the at least one motion sensor corresponding to movement of the device, determine a state of the display, wherein the state of the display includes whether the display is turned on or off; control at least one sensitivity detection mode of the at least one motion sensor, wherein the at least one sensitivity mode includes a high sensitivity mode and a low sensitivity mode, determine a sampling rate for the at least one motion sensor based on the sensitivity detection mode, wherein a first sampling rate is associated with the low sensitivity mode and a second sampling rate is associated with the high sensitivity mode, determine gestures performed by a user based on the detection data from the at least one motion sensor, and control operation of the device based on the gestures performed by the user; wherein, when it is determined that the display is turned on, the circuitry is configured to control the at least one sensitivity detection mode based on an amount of time since the display of the device was turned on or an amount of time since a tap operation was detected, wherein the at least one sensitivity mode is set to the high sensitivity mode if the amount of time since the display was turned on is less than a first predetermined time period or if the amount of time since the last tap operation was detected is less than a second predetermined period and wherein the at least one sensitivity mode is set to the low sensitivity mode if the amount of time since the display was turned on is greater than or equal to the first predetermined time period and the amount of time since the last tap operation was detected is greater than or equal to the second predetermined time period. a display device;
