Electric Device and Method for Controlling Electric Device

A method for controlling an electric device including: a step of comparing the rotation speed of an internal combustion engine at the time when it has been determined that the internal combustion engine is to transition to a rotation stop state with a specified threshold; and a step of performing rotation-speed increasing control, in a case where the rotation speed of the internal combustion engine at the time of the determination is higher than the threshold, in which in a case where the rotation speed of the internal combustion engine at the time of the determination is not higher than the threshold, the rotation speed of the internal combustion engine is not made higher than the rotation speed at the time of the determination but is let to decrease to stop the internal combustion engine.
