Publication number: 20160342807Abstract: A processor of a mobile terminal refers to an app table that stores a reference flag on a per-app basis, the flag indicating whether the operation-unlock app screen is to be displayed in the foreground window of a display. Furthermore, the processor acquires from the app table the flag that corresponds to the current app in response to a lighting-off command. Moreover, the processor determines whether the operation-unlock app screen is to be displayed in the foreground window instead of the current app screen on the basis of the acquired flag. On the basis of the result of the determination, the processor controls the changing of a screen in the foreground window.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2016Publication date: November 24, 2016Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Shinya KIMURA, Katsuaki AKAMA

Patent number: 9170842Abstract: In an information processing terminal, a second screen activation monitoring unit that has received a focus OFF notification sends a domain switch request notification to a domain control unit, and the domain control unit that has received the notification sends a domain switch notification to a first OS. Then, the first OS sends a focus ON notification to a first screen activation monitoring unit and further sends the focus OFF notification to a first application. A resource is thereby released by the first application that is implemented to release an acquired resource upon receiving the focus OFF notification.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2011Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignees: NTT DOCOMO, INC., FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Tomohiro Nakagawa, Maki Ohata, Kazuhisa Sekine, Ken Ohta, Masahiro Fukuyori, Tetsuya Shioda, Takahiro Ito, Katsuaki Akama

Publication number: 20140313147Abstract: A display device includes a display unit, an input device, and a processor. The display unit includes a screen. The input device accepts an input from a user. The processor assigns a part of the input device to a detection area which detects a request for a change in a display position of an image on the screen. The processor detects the input from the detection area. When the input from the detection area is detected when a first image is displayed on the screen, the processor displays on the screen a second image obtained by moving the display position of the first image so that a target area may approach the detection area. Here, the first image includes the target area as an area selectable by the user as a process target.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2014Publication date: October 23, 2014Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Hideaki Joe, RYUUTA TSUMURA, Katsuaki AKAMA
