  • Patent number: 11966657
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a receiver configured to receive an input operation of a user; and a display controller configured to display, in a display area having a first area and a second area, an image. The display controller includes: an icon controller configured to display, in the second area, first icons associated one-to-one with different layouts in splitting the first area, and a first splitter configured to split the first area into split areas based on a layout corresponding to a selected first icon to when the receiver receives an input operation for selecting any of the first icons.

  • Publication number: 20240083600
    Abstract: An extensible boom is extended in an extension direction from a state of being rolled in a cylindrical form, the extension direction being one of short directions of the cylindrical form. Protruding portions and recessed portions are alternately formed at each of one end and another end in a long direction of the cylindrical form. The protruding portions at the one end are located opposite the recessed portions at the other end. The recessed portions at the one end are located opposite the protruding portions at the other end. When the extensible boom is extended along the extension direction, the protruding portions at the one end engage with the recessed portions at the other end, and the recessed portions at the one end engage with the protruding portions at the other end, such that a cylindrical shape is formed along the extension direction.

  • Publication number: 20230362286
    Abstract: A mobile phone device includes: a display device that switches a display state between first and second display states; a communication unit that executes a call between a first user and a second user who makes a call using another phone device; an image generation unit that generates a first image indicating first information including a phone number of the another phone device based on identification information and generates a second image indicating second information related to the second user based on the identification information; a detection unit that detects a switching operation by the first user to switch the display state of the display device from the first display state to the second display state; and, a display control unit that changes the display state to the second display state and causes the display device to display the second image in a case where the switching operation is detected.

  • Publication number: 20230334620
    Abstract: A display device is capable of switching between a first display mode and a second display mode, the second display mode having a larger display area than the first display mode. When the display mode is the first display mode in the first period, the display mode is the second display mode in the subsequent second period, and the display mode is the first display mode in the subsequent third period, an image generator (CCP_1) makes an image to be displayed at a start point of the third period to be different from an image displayed at an end point of the first period. In the third period, the image generator (CCP_1) uses a result of the processing in the second period.

  • Publication number: 20230325139
    Abstract: The display states of a display device include a first display state and a second display state with a larger display area than the first display state. An information processing apparatus includes a display controller that controls the display device, an executer that executes at least one of a first App or a second App, and an acquirer that acquires a guide image. In response to the executer executing the first App when the display device is in the first display state, the acquirer acquires the guide image in accordance with a running state of the first App. The display controller causes the display device to display the guide image in the first display state.

  • Patent number: 11159706
    Abstract: There is disclosed a camera module manufacturing apparatus for joining together a lens unit that incorporates a taking lens and a sensor board to which an image sensor is attached. The camera module manufacturing apparatus includes an optical unit including a collimator lens and a measurement chart for forming an image of the measurement chart on the image sensor through the taking lens. The relative position of the lens unit and the sensor board is adjusted based on an image signal obtained by converting, using the image sensor, an image of the measurement chart that is formed on the image sensor by the optical unit. The measurement chart is disposed to be tilted with respect to a plane that is perpendicular to an optical axis of the collimator lens.
