Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes, notification type discriminating module, displaying control module and displaying setting module. The notification type discriminating module configured to discriminate a type of a notification received by a notification receiving module. The displaying control module configured to cause a display to display a content of the notification including the time information, based on time information. The displaying setting module configured to set a display format of time information based on a discrimination result of notification type discriminating module.

Abstract: A volume control apparatus includes a first amplification section configured to change an amplification factor of main audio based on a volume operation by a user and a second amplification section configured to amplify, during a main audio and sub-audio input period when the amplification factor of the main audio is equal to or lower than a first amplification factor, the sub-audio with a second amplification factor which is higher than the first amplification factor, and amplify, when the amplification factor of the main audio is a third amplification factor which is higher than the first amplification factor, the sub-audio with a fourth amplification factor which is higher than the second amplification factor and which changes depending on the third amplification factor.
