  • Patent number: 11170527
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a camera (imaging unit), a sensor, a display (display unit), and a controller. The controller measures, on the basis of a captured image captured by the camera, size information related to at least a portion of a particular subject included in the captured image and causes an overlay image to be displayed on the display. The overlay image is yielded by overlaying both the size information and sensor information based on a detection result of the sensor on the captured image.

  • Publication number: 20180107382
    Abstract: A portable telephone includes at least one processor and the at least one processor detects a barometric pressure value (a water pressure value) based on an output from a pressure sensor. In an underwater mode, a touch panel is turned off and a function for an underwater operation is allocated to a hardware key. A guide image for notification of a function different from a function for use in atmosphere is shown in correspondence with a hardware key to which the function is allocated, on a screen shown during execution of the function.

  • Patent number: 9398463
    Abstract: A mobile phone (10) includes a touch panel (38) and a touch control circuit (36) detecting a touch operation, and can set a lock state that a telephone function or the like is restricted. If the lock state is set and a key operation is performed, a message urging to long-depress a touch is displayed on a display (30), and when the touch is detected, a changing object representing an elapse of time is displayed on the display (30). If five (5) seconds elapse in a touched state, a completion image is displayed on the display (30). Then, if a finger is released from the touch panel (38) within three (3) seconds after the completion image is displayed, the lock state is canceled.
