The receiver receives, from the memory device, the attribute information obtained as a result of executing the search query.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a processor and a display processor. The processor acquires a plurality of first contents associated with a first period, and a plurality of second contents associated with a second period different from the first period. The display processor displays on a screen a first object representing a set of the plurality of first contents and a second object representing a set of the plurality of second contents on the screen in accordance with the first period and the second period. The first object and the second object are arranged in one direction on the screen in a chronological order.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes at least one sensor, a display processor, and a determiner. The display processor displays a first image corresponding to first content data stored in a first folder on a screen. The determiner determines whether the electronic apparatus moves, using the at least one sensor. If it is determined that the electronic apparatus moves during display of the first image, the display processor displays, on the screen, an second image corresponding to second content data stored in another folder different from the first folder.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a storage device which stores first image files includes location information and time information and a display processor which displays, on a screen, a map image, a plurality of objects on the map image, and lines on the map.
