  • Patent number: 9813546
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus comprises an apparatus case, at least one processor, a submergence detector, and a motion detector. The at least one processor is configured to receive an incoming call from an external communication apparatus and to perform a voice call with the external communication apparatus. The submergence detector is configured to detect a submergence state in which the apparatus case is located underwater. The motion detector is configured to detect a predetermined specific motion of the apparatus case. The at least one processor controls a setting status of a motion answer mode in which the incoming call is answered and the voice call is accordingly started in response to detection, by the motion detector, of the specific motion. When the submergence state is no longer detected by the submergence detector, the at least one processor enables the motion answer mode.

  • Publication number: 20140325440
    Abstract: A mobile electronic device and methods are presented. A display unit displays a screen comprising objects, and an input unit covers the display unit and receives input from a user. A position judgment unit determines if an input position of the input is in a particular region in response to receiving an input from the user, and causes the objects to be displayed if the input position is in the particular region. A time judgment unit determines if a first time interval has elapsed from receiving of the input by the user in response to the position judgment unit determining that the input position is in the particular region. A display control unit displays at the input position a first object from among the objects displayed on the display unit in response to the time judgment unit determining that the first time interval has elapsed.

  • Publication number: 20110319139
    Abstract: A mobile phone 10 comprises a display 30; a panel 38 that is disposed corresponding to the display 30; a touch detection section 36 that detects a touch operation corresponding to the panel 38; and a processor 24. On the display 30, soft keys 68 of a QWERTY layout are displayed. When a touch operation is performed with respect to the panel 38, the processor 24 inputs characters that correspond to the soft keys 68, based on the touch operation. The processor 24 predicts the characters to be input next, based on the characters that are input. The processor 24, when the characters are input based on the touch operation, predicts the characters to be input next, and enlarges the touch area of the keys corresponding to the characters.
