The slide hinge includes a support plate fixed to the second housing, a movable plate slidably coupled to the first housing with respect to the support plate along the first direction, an intermediate plate slidably supported by the support plate with respect to the support plate in the second direction, and a cam mechanism that slides the intermediate plate in the second direction in accordance with a slide operation of the movable plate along the first direction.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus that receives, from another information processing apparatus, first displacement information; senses second displacement information corresponding to movement of the information processing apparatus; and establishes a connection with the another information processing apparatus based on a predetermined relationship between the first displacement information and the second displacement information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus that controls a display to display captured image at a first portion of the display; detects whether an image of a specific pattern exists in the captured image; controls the display to display an image corresponding to data in a second portion of the display; detects that a user input was received at a first position corresponding to the first portion of the display and a second position corresponding to the second portion of the display; and transmits data corresponding to an image displayed at the first position to another information processing apparatus corresponding to the captured image displayed at the second position.

Abstract: When the charge level of a fully-charged rechargeable battery decreases due to quiescent power drain, in order to recharge it is necessary for the user to pick up and again place the mobile device in which the rechargeable battery is inserted onto a charging apparatus and issue instructions to start recharging. To address this issue, a charging controller applies control to disconnect a capacitor from a receiver coil with a switch in the case where the charge level of a rechargeable battery is equal to or greater than a given threshold value, and additionally applies control to connect the capacitor to the receiver coil with the switch in the case where the charge level of the rechargeable battery is less than the threshold value.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus including a display and a touch panel disposed on or integrally formed with the display that detects a touch input by a user. The information processing apparatus setting initial coordinates corresponding to a first position of a touch input detected by the touch panel; setting a first region and a second region of the display based on the initial coordinates; and controlling the display to change a scale of a displayed image based on a distance between the initial coordinates and a second position of the touch input continuously detected by the touch panel in one of the first and second regions.
