  • Publication number: 20190188439
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus comprises a display, a fingerprint sensor, a touch sensor, and at least one processor. The display displays an icon. The fingerprint sensor reads fingerprint information. The touch sensor detects a movement of a finger. The at least one processor executes, when the movement of the finger from the icon toward the fingerprint sensor is detected and fingerprint information is read by the fingerprint sensor, a function of the icon since the fingerprint information which has been read matches registered fingerprint information which has been previously registered.

  • Publication number: 20190187292
    Abstract: An electronic device, a control method, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium are disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronic device comprises a position detector, a communication unit, and at least one processor. The position detector is configured to detect position information of the electronic device based on a signal output by a satellite. The communication unit is configured to communicate with another device. When the at least one processor determines that detection accuracy of the position detector has deteriorated when a detecting function of the position detector is valid, the at least one processor reduces communication with the another device.

  • Publication number: 20180081536
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a communication interface, a display, and a controller that controls screen display of the display. The communication interface communicates with a movement detection apparatus provided with a barometric pressure sensor. The controller enlarges or reduces a screen of the display in accordance with a change in the barometric pressure detected by the barometric pressure sensor. The controller may enlarge the screen if the change is a rise in barometric pressure and reduce the screen if the change is a drop in barometric pressure.
