Abstract: In an information processing apparatus, a display unit is pivotally supported on a main unit by a hinge having a hinge pin. Left and right buttons serving as first and second function buttons for controlling an object chosen by a pointer appearing on a display, and a third function button for scrolling the screen displayed on the display are provided near one end in the axial direction of the hinge pin between the display unit and a keyboard.

Abstract: An attachment structure for an antenna which assures a good performance of the antenna and an electronic apparatus which can be miniaturized while assuring a good performance of an antenna are disclosed. The includes a display block capable of displaying various display screens thereon, and an attachment base made of a metal and having the display block attached thereto. The attachment base is positioned at least on the rear face side of the display block. The electronic apparatus further includes an antenna for performing radio communication therethrough. Each of the attachment base and the antenna has a positioning element provided thereon such that the positioning element of the antenna is positioned on and with respect to the positioning element of the attachment base to attach the antenna to the attachment base positioned on the rear face side of the display block.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a service providing system, an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program. An information processing apparatus (base unit) 2 receives user information detected by sensors provided in an information processing apparatus (remote unit) 3 from the information processing apparatus (remote unit) 3, acquires article information of articles sold in a shop from a shop-information portal site server 5, selects an article to be recommended to a user based on the acquired user information and article information, and transmits the article information of the selected article to the information processing apparatus (remote unit) 3. The information processing apparatus (remote unit) 3 displays the received article information in, for example, a display to recommend the article. The present invention can be applied to an electronic apparatus connected to a network.

Abstract: The present invention improves operatability provided for the user as operatability to specify a display range in an information-processing apparatus employing an absolute coordinate input unit such as a touch panel. The information-processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention allows the user to select one of a plurality of input operation modes of the absolute coordinate input unit. One of the input operation modes is a specific mode allowing a display range to be moved to a desired position in a state where the highest resolution of a display unit integrated with the absolute coordinate input unit is lower than the resolution of an entire screen.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus including: a keyboard that has a plurality of operating keys and is foldable via a hinge part, the keyboard being set in a closed state in which the operating keys are closed and in an opened state in which the operating keys are opened; and an apparatus main unit that is connected with the keyboard and performs a process corresponding to an operation of the operating keys on the keyboard. The closed state and the opened state of the keyboard are detected, and operation of one of the apparatus main unit and the keyboard is controlled according to a detection result.

Abstract: In an information-processing apparatus employing a coordinate input unit such as a touch panel, processing of explicitly reporting the state of an operation carried out by the user to the user is carried out in order to present a result of the operation to the user. In the information-processing apparatus employing the coordinate input unit and a display unit integrated with the coordinate input unit, in accordance with the type of an operation carried out by the user on the coordinate input unit, the apparatus issues a notice for verifying the state of the operation as well as a result of the operation and avoiding an incorrect operation to the user.
