  • Publication number: 20140285528
    Abstract: A graph display control apparatus includes a figure display control unit, a graph figure change unit, a coordinate value calculation unit and a figure prominent display control unit. The figure display control unit sets a coordinate system to a display unit and displays (i) a first graph figure and (ii) a coordinate axis or a second graph figure in the system. The graph figure change unit moves or transforms the first graph figure in the system in response to a user operation to change the first graph figure. The coordinate value calculation unit detects an intersection point of (i) the changed first graph figure and (ii) the coordinate axis or the second graph figure and calculates a coordinate value of the intersection point. The figure prominent display control unit prominently displays the changed first graph figure when the coordinate value is an integer.

  • Patent number: 8659567
    Abstract: An electronic device having a handwritten mathematical formula recognition function includes a display unit with a touch panel. When a recognition-assisting information input module inputs recognition-assisting information for handwritten data to be recognized in response to a user's operation, the handwritten data input on the touch panel is recognized by a handwritten mathematical formula recognition module as an element of a mathematical formula, based on the recognition-assisting information input from the recognition-assisting information input module. The mathematical formula recognized by the handwritten mathematical formula recognition module is displayed on the display unit in a text format by a mathematical formula output module.

  • Publication number: 20130082953
    Abstract: When a touch operation on a touch-panel display module of an electronic device has been detected, a display entity corresponding to the touched object is created. The display entity is superimposed on the touched position on a display screen. A projector, an external display device, projects the display entity onto a screen. Even when the display screen of the electronic device has been moved by a touch operation, the audience looking at a screen page displayed on the screen can see the touch position in the form of the display entity, making it possible to understand the meaning of the operator's touch operation.

  • Patent number: 8196057
    Abstract: When keys are typed on a calculator keyboard displayed on an scientific electronic calculator emulation screen, not only are key data items of the calculator stored sequentially into a key log memory and displayed on a log screen, but also a calculation process corresponding to the key input is executed and displayed on a calculator display. Then, when the “selector” button on the tool bar is input, a calculator function name to be executed on the basis of the key log displayed on the log screen is retrieved from a function corresponding key log memory and is replaced with a display area of the key log. Then, the display area is displayed. Accordingly, with the key logs displayed on the log screen, what processes the series of key logs are supposed to execute can be recognized easily.

  • Patent number: 7840621
    Abstract: In an electronic apparatus having multiple functions such as a scientific electronic calculator, some of the multiple functions are set to be disabled according to need. Function disabling information (protection data) including disabled applications, protect display screen and protection period is stored on a memory card. When the memory card installed in a card slot of the electronic apparatus is detected, the function disabling information is read out and transferred onto corresponding memory areas of a system area in a flash ROM of the apparatus, and a protection display screen is displayed on a display unit, indicating that some of the multiple functions are disabled. Then, only “EXE” key operation is accepted and the function corresponding to the disabled application is disabled, and a function selecting menu screen is displayed, in which a start-up disabled mark M is added to an icon of the disabled application and a protection remaining time T is added.
