  • Patent number: 11810536
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a processor; an image processor to produce an image data for being displayed on a display; and a memory to store a screen data, the screen data being capable of being transferred from the memory to the image processor at a higher transfer rate and a lower transfer rate; wherein, when a new screen data is transferred from the memory to the image processor, the processor sets the lower transfer rate during an interval at which the image processor switches the image data from an old image data to a new image data.

  • Patent number: 11429170
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display and a controller. The controller is configured to receive, from the display, an arithmetic value for electric current consumption of the display; estimate the electric current consumption of the display based on the arithmetic value that was received; and when the estimated electric current consumption of the display is equal to or greater than a predetermined electric current threshold, decrease an electric current to be supplied to the display. The arithmetic value is calculated based on pixel value information.

  • Patent number: 11269473
    Abstract: A control apparatus of a touch panel having a resistive film includes a microcomputer having a controller configured to function as a determination part and a corrector. The determination part determines a number of touch points indicating a number of simultaneous touch positions on the touch panel. The corrector corrects input coordinates indicating a touch position of each of the touch points using coordinate correction that differs depending on whether the touch panel is touched with a one-point touch in which the number of the touch points is one or a two-point touch in which the number of the touch points is two, which have been determined by the determination part.
