Abstract: The electronic device (1) includes a proximity sensor (18), a touch panel display (display 14) configured to display an icon that serves to enable a predetermined mode and gesture detection via the proximity sensor (18) and a controller (11) configured to, when a touch on the icon is detected, start the predetermined mode, start gesture detection via the proximity sensor (18) and change a characteristic of the icon. The controller (11) may change the color or the shape of the icon.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus is disclosed. In one embodiment, a first functional unit is configured to execute a predetermined function and to acquire, during execution of the predetermined function, first attribute information for use in performing sorting according to a first sorting rule. A second functional unit is configured to display, on a display, display target information including first display target information, to perform a first sort display in which the first sorting rule is displayed when the first display target information related to the first attribute information is stored in a second storage area and the first sorting rule is not displayed when the first display target information related to first attribute information is not stored in the second storage, and to sort the first display target information according to the first sorting rule selected by using the input unit and display the sorted information on the display.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an electronic apparatus comprises a display, a touch detector, a proximity detector, and at least one processor. The display displays no information in a first display mode and displays information in a second display mode. The touch detector has a detection mode including a first detection mode in which the touch detector detects a touch operation at a first sensitivity and a second detection mode in which the touch detector detects the touch operation at a second sensitivity higher than the first sensitivity. The proximity detector is configured to detect proximity of an object. The at least one processor is configured to set the detection mode of the touch detector. When the proximity detector detects the proximity at a switch from the first display mode to the second display mode, the at least one processor sets the detection mode to the first detection mode.

Abstract: A mobile telephone includes a communication module, and a control module configured to perform background communication with respect to an application via the communication module. The control module restricts background communication, based on an activation history of the application in foreground. The control module includes a determination module configured to determine whether background communication is unnecessary based on the activation history of the application in foreground with respect to each of the applications, and a setting switching module configured to switch communication setting of the application, of which background communication is determined to be unnecessary, from a first setting of permitting the background communication to a second setting of restricting the background communication.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus, a recording medium, and a display control method are disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic apparatus comprises a display screen and at least one processor. The display screen can display a first object and a second object, and the processor causes display screen to display the first object and the second object. In a first state where the first object and the second object are displayed on the display screen, when a second operation of separating positions of the first object and second object from each other is detected after a first operation of selecting the first object and the second object is detected, the processor changes a display of the display screen to a second state where the first object and the second object, which are more distant from each other than those in the first state, are displayed with a third object displayed therebetween.
