Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce power consumption when a user does not wear an electric apparatus on his/her body by automatically detecting whether the user wears the electric apparatus on his/her body in the electric apparatus that is put on the body of the user for use.SOLUTION: When a remote operation terminal 1 is put on a forefinger to be brought into contact and separation with/from a thumb, a propagation aspect of an electric signal applied from an AC power source 13 through electrodes for application 5, 7 changes, and a current value measured by a toroidal coil 3 and a current sensor 11 for contact determination also changes. A controller 17 detects the contact and separation on the basis of the current value that changes in this way. As long as the remote operation terminal 1 is put on the forefinger, an electric signal A shown by an alternate long and short dash line propagates. An attachment/detachment determining part 17a included in the controller 17 reads a current value detected by a current sensor 15 for attachment/detachment determination during the application of the electric signal to detect whether the remote operation terminal 1 is put on the forefinger, and prohibits the detection of the contact and separation when the remote operation terminal is not put on the forefinger.
