Patent number: 9658714Abstract: An electronic device includes a position detection module configured to detect a touch position on a display surface of a display module touched by a user; a position data output module configured to output first position data and second position data based on position data on the touch positions detected by the position detection module; and a display control module configured to control the display module based on the first position data or the second position data output from the position data output module. The first position data is position data obtained by averaging position data on the touch positions respectively detected at detection timings. The second position data is position data on the touch position detected at individual detection timing. The display control module selects the first position data or the second position data to control the display module, based on a predetermined selection condition.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: KYOCERA CORPORATIONInventor: Kenichi Hirako

Patent number: 9565638Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2015Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: KYOCERA CORPORATIONInventors: Kenichi Hirako, Shinichi Onaru, Saki Yamasaki, Toshihiro Kamii, Kana Masaki
