  • Publication number: 20220237275
    Abstract: An authentication system for an electronic device with a high security level is provided. The authentication system includes a data retention means that accumulates first data related to a state of the electronic device being used by a first user registered in advance and generates a first data group, a first authentication means that authenticates a second user operating the electronic device as the first user and releases a locked state, a data acquisition means that acquires second data related to a state of the electronic device being used by the second user in a state where the locked state is released, and a second authentication means that authenticates the second user as the first user on the basis of the first data group and the second data and sets the electronic device to the locked state when the second user is not authenticated. The data retention means has a function of deleting the oldest first data of the plurality of pieces of the first data included in the first data group.

  • Publication number: 20190216184
    Abstract: A display position of an image is moved in accordance with positional information of a display device having a curved display surface. Displacement of a display device is sensed by a camera portion and an acceleration sensor, and the display position is determined in accordance with the displacement, so that the image is displayed in the display position. In the case where the display device rotates and the like, a desired piece of information can be displayed automatically in a display region that can be easily seen.
