Patent number: 10073585Abstract: A determining module configured to determine an operation mode of an electronic device determines the operation mode as a cursor display mode in which a display region displays a cursor when a detecting module detects a first manipulation through a manipulator over the display region. In a case where the operation mode is the cursor display mode, a display module moves the cursor in the display region in response to movement of the manipulator in the display region detected by the detecting module. In a case where the operation mode is the cursor display mode, a processing executing module executes processing related to a display target indicated by the cursor when the detecting module detects that the manipulator moves in the display region so as to indicate the display target by the cursor in the display region and then moves away from the display region.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2015Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Atsuhiko Kanda, Hayato Takenouchi

Patent number: 9820070Abstract: At least one processor can detect a volume of a sound input to an upper microphone. The at least one processor can determine whether or not at least one of a sound emission hole for a rear speaker and a sound collection hole for the upper microphone is clogged, based on the detected volume. The at least one processor can give a notification about a result of determination.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2016Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: KYOCERA CORPORATIONInventor: Hayato Takenouchi

Patent number: 9807611Abstract: An electronic device uses a voiceprint for user authentication, and includes a storage unit, a voice input unit, and at least one processor. The storage unit registers a first voiceprint based on first voice corresponding to a first character string and a second voiceprint based on second voice corresponding to a second character string longer than the first character string. The at least one processor generates a third voiceprint from third voice input to the voice input unit after registration of the voiceprint in the storage unit, and makes a first comparison between the first voiceprint and the third voiceprint as first user authentication. The at least one processor generates a fourth voiceprint from fourth voice input to the voice input unit after the third voice, and makes a second comparison between the second voiceprint and the fourth voiceprint, when the first user authentication has failed.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2016Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: KYOCERA CORPORATIONInventor: Hayato Takenouchi

Publication number: 20170061109Abstract: An electronic apparatus, a recording medium, and an operating method of an electronic apparatus are disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic apparatus comprises a case, a first hardware button located in one of a right side surface and a left side surface of the case, a fingerprint sensor configured to detect a fingerprint of a finger being in contact with the first hardware button, an operation button, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to execute user authentication based on a fingerprint detection result obtained by the fingerprint sensor and to execute a function assigned to the operation button in response to an operation performed on the operation button. The at least one processor executes the user authentication and the function when an operation is performed on the operation button in a state in which the first hardware button is in contact with a finger.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Inventor: Hayato TAKENOUCHI

Publication number: 20150262583Abstract: A mobile phone 10 is installed with a plurality of applications, and an arbitrary operation by a voice input can be performed. The mobile phone 10 stores a history of an application performed by a user in a RAM (46). If the user performs a voice input saying “Use camera”, “standard camera” and “AR camera” that are applications in a category of “camera” are acquired as a search result. At this time, the search result is narrowed down based on a use history of the user. If a use frequency of “standard camera” is higher than that of “AR camera”, “standard camera” is performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2013Publication date: September 17, 2015Applicant: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Atsuhiko Kanda, Hayato Takenouchi

Publication number: 20140287724Abstract: A mobile phone comprises a display and a touch panel that is provided on the display, and is capable of setting a locked state. In a case where the locked state is set, a lock screen including the lock object is displayed on the display. If a long-depressing touch operation is performed to the lock object, shortcut icons corresponding to a telephone function, etc. are displayed on the display instead of the lock object. If the shortcut icon of the telephone function, for example, is selected by a selecting object corresponding to a touch position in the shortcut screen, the locked state is canceled and the telephone function is performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2012Publication date: September 25, 2014Inventors: Hayato Takenouchi, Atsuhiko Kanda

Patent number: 8803821Abstract: A method and system of controlling key operations of a mobile device comprising one or more hard keys and one or more touch keys are disclosed. An operation of one or more hard keys is detected, and measuring an operation time is started in response to detecting the operation. Operations of one or more touch keys are invalidated until the operation time exceeds a certain period of time.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2010Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Akira Mizumoto, Hayato Takenouchi, Minoru Niwa

Patent number: 8738090Abstract: A mobile phone includes a display, a touch panel provided on the display, etc., and can be set with a lock state. In a case that the lock state is set, a lock screen including a lock object is displayed on the display. Upon receipt of a mail, notification information of a newly-arrived mail is recorded in a notification table and the notification information of the newly-arrived mail is displayed in a notification area of the lock screen. If a user performs a sliding operation after touching the lock object, and then releases from the lock object within the notification area, the lock state is canceled, and a mail function is performed such that the above-described newly-arrived mail is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2012Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Atsuhiko Kanda, Hayato Takenouchi
