  • Patent number: 8891015
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a receiver, a reproducer, a display, a transmitter, and a processor. The receiver receives video content data. The reproducer generates first video data by reproducing the video content data. The display displays an image corresponding to the first video data on a screen of the display. The transmitter transmits image data including the first video data to an external display device. The processor transmits a mode switching request including identification information to identify the video content data to the external display device from a first mode to a second mode.

  • Patent number: 8723821
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a touch screen display, a first region setup module, a second region setup module, an operation detection module, a first data output module and a second data output module. The first region setup module sets a first region including plural input regions on the touch screen display. The second region setup module sets a second region overlapped with the first region. The operation detection module detects whether a touch operation is a first operation or a second operation. The first data output module outputs first data corresponding to a first potion of the first region where the touch operation is performed, when the first operation is detected. The second data output module outputs second data corresponding to a second position where the touch operation is performed, when the second operation is detected.

  • Publication number: 20110102386
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus is configured to display a plurality of windows on a display. The information processing apparatus specifies an active window of windows displayed on the display, when a notice indicating that a new window is to be displayed on the display is received, and determines whether an application corresponding to the active window is being used or not, based on a first operation definition information item associated with the application corresponding to the active window. The information processing apparatus display the new window on a background of the active window as a window with a lower priority than the active window, when it is determined that the application corresponding to the active window is being used.
