  • Publication number: 20190146558
    Abstract: A mobile terminal that prevents a display screen from finely blurring according to expansion and contraction of a flexible display. When a variation in a sensor value detected by a rotation angle sensor is greater than a range based on a predetermined threshold value, the image processing unit performs control for changing a display size of display information to be displayed on a flexible display. Thus, it is possible to absorb shaking based on a rewinding force of a mainspring in a storage unit and to prevent blurring of the display information.

  • Publication number: 20190042014
    Abstract: A withdrawal amount calculation unit calculates a withdrawal amount of a display portion and transmits the withdrawal amount to a display control unit. In a case where a display width of the display portion based on the withdrawal amount exceeds a display threshold value, the display control unit causes the display portion to display second content together with first content. In this manner, in a case where the withdrawal amount is detected and the display width based on the withdrawal amount exceeds the threshold value, content (the second content) other than the first content is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to display a plurality of contents only when it is better to output the plurality of contents to the user according to a withdrawal operation of the user.

  • Publication number: 20160225064
    Abstract: A shopping support device is a wearable device including an imaging unit. The shopping support device includes a storage unit that stores a shopping list including any one or more pieces of information out of shop information relating to a shop for shopping and commodity information relating to a commodity to be purchased, a recognition unit that performs image recognition on a vicinity image which is picked up by the imaging unit, a determination unit that determines whether a target indicated by the information is present in the vicinity image, on the basis of an image recognition result and the information included in the shopping list stored by the storage unit, and a notification unit that notifies the user of the presence of the target determined to be present by the determination unit.

  • Patent number: 9170842
    Abstract: In an information processing terminal, a second screen activation monitoring unit that has received a focus OFF notification sends a domain switch request notification to a domain control unit, and the domain control unit that has received the notification sends a domain switch notification to a first OS. Then, the first OS sends a focus ON notification to a first screen activation monitoring unit and further sends the focus OFF notification to a first application. A resource is thereby released by the first application that is implemented to release an acquired resource upon receiving the focus OFF notification.

  • Patent number: 8806514
    Abstract: A data control device includes: an execution unit that executes, as an active runtime environment, one of a plurality of runtime environments each provided with an individual clipboard used for data reading and writing; a switching unit that switches the active runtime environment; a decision unit that, when the active runtime environment is switched by the switching unit, decides whether an item of data written to a clipboard of a runtime environment that is active before the switching should be copied to a clipboard of a runtime environment that will become active after the switching, by referring to an attribute of at least one of the runtime environment that is active before the switching and the runtime environment that will become active after the switching; and a management unit that manages copying of the item of data between the clipboards based on the decision made by the decision unit.
