  • Patent number: 9477338
    Abstract: A terminal device with a display function enables only an operation of a desired operation key valid, and easily perform the invalidation operation. In response to switching to a predetermined function mode by manipulating a jog dial, an image in the switched function mode is displayed in a display surface, based on an image signal from a display control section. A bar is located on a borderline between a contents area and an operation area in an initial state of displaying an image. When the jog dial is manipulated by the user to thereby move the bar from the borderline to a predetermined position within the operation area, a CPU determines that the position of the bar has been moved. Then, the CPU detects a new position of the bar, and makes an operation with respect to the operation key located between the bar and the borderline invalid.

  • Publication number: 20160110037
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a display, an operation detector configured to detect an operation performed with an operator on the display, a time counter configured to measure a contact time, and a processor configured to run an application program corresponding to an image displayed by the display. The image includes a first image displayed by the display at a first size or a second size smaller than the first size. In a case where the display displays, at the second size, the first image including a graphic representing the corresponding application program and not including text information, the processor causes the display to display the text information when the operator is in contact with the first image, and the contact time with the first image is longer than a first threshold.

  • Publication number: 20080212041
    Abstract: An information processing device including a projection unit which, when a predetermined signal is received while an image displayed on a display is being viewed, projects the image displayed on the display onto, for example, a wall as a substitute for a screen, which is not provided in the information processing device. As the projection unit, for example, a small-sized projector provided in the information processing device may be used. In response to a conventional problem where, when an incoming call is received while a moving image is being displayed, the user cannot view the moving image since the user has to put the mobile phone to an ear for having a conversation, the information processing device causes the projector to project the moving image so that the user can continue to view the image.
