  • Publication number: 20150371519
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an information processing device includes, for example, a notification module, a first sensor, and a controller. The notification module is configured to inform a user of information. The first sensor is configured to detect that the user is traveling voluntarily. The controller is configured to switch, when the first sensor detects that the user is traveling voluntarily, a notification method by which the notification module informs the user of the information to a certain voluntary traveling notification method that differs from a notification method by which the notification module informs the user of the information when the user is not traveling voluntarily.

  • Publication number: 20140337805
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processor includes a detector and a controller. The detector is configured to detect position coordinates on a display screen specified with an object. The controller is configured to perform disabling based on the position coordinates detected by the detector. When a predetermined gesture operation by the object is received upon selection of a first link displayed on the display screen, the controller is configured to disable the selection of the first link based on the position coordinates. When the detector detects position coordinates near the first link, the controller is configured to disable a function of automatically selecting the first link.

  • Patent number: 8411870
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a speaker, a terminal, an amplifier, a battery, a power supply circuit, and a controller. The terminal is configured to input an audio signal from an external device. The amplifier is configured to amplify the audio signal which is input from the terminal, and to output audio from the speaker. The power supply circuit is configured to supply power from the battery to the amplifier. The controller is configured to control the power supply circuit, based on a residual capacity of the battery and a preset battery level, in order to supply the power to the amplifier when the electronic apparatus is in a non-operative state.
