  • Publication number: 20140160039
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a touch manipulation portion, a touch input detector, a user manipulation portion, and an operation module. The touch manipulation portion is configured to receive a multitouch input. The touch input detector is configured to detect a single touch input that is made with the touch manipulation portion. The user manipulation portion is provided separately from the touch manipulation portion and can be manipulated by a user. The operation module is configured, when the touch input detector detects the single touch input and the user manipulation portion is manipulated, to perform an operation that is similar to an operation to be performed in response to the multitouch input.

  • Publication number: 20120136848
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that includes a pointing device for moving a cursor to a position on a display screen; a monitoring unit that monitors whether or not the pointed position is stationary for a predetermined time period; and a text extraction unit that determines a character displayed on the pointed position and extracts a target text portion that includes the pointed to character. A text analysis unit generates a search keyword that is suitable for performing a search operation, based on analysis of the target text portion, generates an attribute representing a subject category, based on the search keyword, and generates a search intention item representing intended subject content to be searched, based on the attribute; and a display controller that controls the display of an overlayed search window menu that facilitates selection of the search keyword and/or the search intention item for a search operation.

  • Patent number: 7969201
    Abstract: A decoder circuit that can prevent the delay of decoder output includes a switch that is put into an ON state when a node A of an NMOS region is not an output channel of a selected gradation voltage. The switch is connected to the node A. Thus, a voltage raised by electric charges accumulated by a coupling capacity C1 caused in the node A when the gradation voltage is outputted from an output terminal of the decoder output can be discharged by the switch in the ON state.

  • Patent number: 7859516
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus including a display unit and an inclination detection unit detecting an inclination of its main body includes a direction instruction unit, a reference inclination storage unit, an inclination difference output unit, and a scroll unit. The direction instruction unit instructs a scroll direction in which a display range of the display unit is to be moved. The reference inclination storage unit stores, as a reference inclination, an inclination in the scroll direction among inclinations detected by the inclination detection unit. The inclination difference output unit outputs a difference between the reference inclination and an inclination in the scroll direction. The scroll unit moves the display range on the display unit according to the difference outputted from the inclination difference output unit.

  • Publication number: 20050122318
    Abstract: A data processing device includes plural input modes which is capable of, for instance, automatically determining whether the device is in a notebook mode or a tablet mode, thereby enabling a user to use the data processing device by use of an interface suitable for the mode without performing any particular operation for choosing the interface. The data processing device includes a display which is integrally configured with a tablet, a mode determination section which determines an input mode on basis of the tablet, and a mode controller which switches a user interface on basis of the result of determination of the mode determination section. When configured as described above, the convertible data processing device can automatically determine whether the device is in a notebook mode or a tablet mode, and provide a user with an interface suitable for the mode. Accordingly, comfortable operability can be realized.
