  • Publication number: 20220264221
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a microphone, a camera, and a control device. The control device acts as a voice recognizer, a controller, a gesture recognizer, and a sensitivity adjuster. The voice recognizer recognizes voice of the user inputted to the microphone. The controller controls an operation of the electronic apparatus, according to a result of voice recognition by the voice recognizer. The gesture recognizer recognizes, on a basis of an image shot by the camera, a predetermined gesture in which one hand of the user is positioned beside an end of the user's mouth, and the other hand is positioned beside the other end of the user's mouth. The sensitivity adjuster adjusts sensitivity of the microphone, according to a motion of the hands, when the gesture recognizer recognizes respective motions of the one hand and the other hand in the predetermined gesture.

  • Patent number: 10277757
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an operation unit and a controller. In a case of detecting a long-press at an icon arranged on a home screen, the controller allows a display unit to display, at a predetermined position near a display region of the icon, a submenu image for selecting detailed settings for a function associated with the icon. When detecting that a touch operation performed by a user is moved from the icon to the submenu image and then ended at the submenu image, the controller allows the display unit to display a detailed setting screen for setting detailed setting items indicated by the submenu image.

  • Patent number: 10057438
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an operation display portion, an image reading portion which reads a reading region including an original document so as to generate image data and a control portion which generates basic display data for displaying an image in all parts of the reading region including an original document image. When the size of the original document is a threshold value or more smaller than the size of the reading region, the control portion generates enlargement display data for displaying the original document image whose display size is enlarged as compared with the original document image displayed based on the basic display data and makes the operation display portion produce the display based on the enlargement display data.
