  • Patent number: 10073585
    Abstract: A determining module configured to determine an operation mode of an electronic device determines the operation mode as a cursor display mode in which a display region displays a cursor when a detecting module detects a first manipulation through a manipulator over the display region. In a case where the operation mode is the cursor display mode, a display module moves the cursor in the display region in response to movement of the manipulator in the display region detected by the detecting module. In a case where the operation mode is the cursor display mode, a processing executing module executes processing related to a display target indicated by the cursor when the detecting module detects that the manipulator moves in the display region so as to indicate the display target by the cursor in the display region and then moves away from the display region.

  • Publication number: 20170144042
    Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a memory and at least one processor. The memory stores details of a training having been performed and a heart rate in the training in association with each other. The processor obtains a heart rate of the user, an attitude of the mobile terminal and an atmospheric pressure surrounding the mobile terminal. While a first training is being performed, the processor detects details of the first training from the attitude and the atmospheric pressure. The processor determines whether a training with details corresponding with the details of the first training has been performed. When the details of the first training correspond with details of a second training having been performed, the corrects the maximum heart rate based on a first heart rate associated with the first training and a second heart rate associated with the second training.

  • Publication number: 20160196284
    Abstract: A mobile phone includes a camera unit and the like including a lens and the like, and a preview image is displayed on a display when a camera function is executed. When a search mode is set during execution of the camera function, and a touch operation is performed by a user on the preview image, a relative positional relationship between subjects is detected by utilizing a focal length of the lens. An object image is extracted based on the detected relative positional relationship and a touch position of the touch operation. In this state, when a shutter key is operated, a search result using the object image is obtained. A search result pop-up including the search result is displayed on the display.

  • Publication number: 20150262583
    Abstract: A mobile phone 10 is installed with a plurality of applications, and an arbitrary operation by a voice input can be performed. The mobile phone 10 stores a history of an application performed by a user in a RAM (46). If the user performs a voice input saying “Use camera”, “standard camera” and “AR camera” that are applications in a category of “camera” are acquired as a search result. At this time, the search result is narrowed down based on a use history of the user. If a use frequency of “standard camera” is higher than that of “AR camera”, “standard camera” is performed.

  • Publication number: 20140287724
    Abstract: A mobile phone comprises a display and a touch panel that is provided on the display, and is capable of setting a locked state. In a case where the locked state is set, a lock screen including the lock object is displayed on the display. If a long-depressing touch operation is performed to the lock object, shortcut icons corresponding to a telephone function, etc. are displayed on the display instead of the lock object. If the shortcut icon of the telephone function, for example, is selected by a selecting object corresponding to a touch position in the shortcut screen, the locked state is canceled and the telephone function is performed.

  • Patent number: 8816980
    Abstract: A system and method for operating a portable electronic device are disclosed. A detected object is detected when the object is in contact with the device to provide detection results. Whether the device is performing a predetermined function to provide a first determination result and whether the object is in contact with the device based on the detection results to provide a second determination result are then determined. One of a first function and a second function comprising the first function based on the first determination result and the second determination result is then selected. The first function is selected if it is determined that the device is performing the predetermined function and that the object is in contact with mobile terminal. The second function is selected if it is determined that the device is performing the predetermined function and that the object is not in contact with the device.
