Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a stroke manager and a controller. The stroke manager is configured to store on a storage medium handwritten documents including stroke data items corresponding to strokes. The controller is configured to acquire a result of a search. The search includes least one of a character-string search and a handwriting search. The search is based on a value associated with an aspect ratio of a first stroke group.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device detects a first stroke made on a display area of a first document and displays the first stroke on a screen. The electronic device determines at least one handwriting candidate from different handwriting stored in a memory in response to an input of the first stroke, and displays the at least one handwriting candidate on the screen. The electronic device receives a selection of a first handwriting candidate from the at least one handwriting candidate, and determines a first size of the first handwriting candidate according to a size of a second handwritten character string followed by the first stroke. The electronic device inputs the first handwriting candidate in place of the first stroke to the first document according to the first size.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a touch screen display, an illumination sensor, a controller and a setting module. The controller is configured to control luminance of the touch screen display based on a signal from the illumination sensor. The setting switch is configured to turn off control of the luminance by the controller to avoid a variation in luminance of the touch screen display, while an input to the touch screen display is performed.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a processor and a setting module. The processor displays, if a first stroke is handwriting-input on a screen and the electronic apparatus is in a first mode, a locus of the first stroke on the screen. The processor executes, if the first stroke is handwriting-input on the screen and the electronic apparatus is in a second mode, first processing based on the first stroke. The setting module sets the electronic apparatus in the second mode if a period for which a position of a handwriting-input position is in a first range is or longer than a first period.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a touchscreen display, a touchpad display module, and a pointer display module. The touchscreen display includes a touchpanel and a display. The touchpad display module is configured to display, on a display screen of the display, a virtual touchpad window includes a pad area. The pointer display module configured to display a pointer at a position corresponding to a change of a touch position within a first area of the touchscreen display if a position where the virtual touchpad window is first touched is within the pad area, the first area is an entire area of the touchscreen display.

Abstract: One embodiment provides an electronic apparatus, including: a direction detector disposed in a housing which accommodates electronic components therein and configured to detect a direction of the housing; and a power-saving-mode shift controller configured to control a shift to a power saving mode upon detection of a turned-down direction of the housing.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an display processing apparatus includes a display module, an operation receiver, a relation calculator, a display information generator, and a display controller. The display module displays a content list indicating contents of an identical type. The operation receiver receives operation to select a key content from the content list. The relation calculator calculates relation between the key content and second contents of a plurality of types including the identical type. The display information generator generates first display information of the key content and second display information of the second contents. The display controller displays list information including the first display information and pieces of the second display information around the first display information. The pieces of the second display information are arranged such that second display information of second content with higher relation is closer to the first display information.

Abstract: A display control method includes displaying a plurality of saved files and a plurality of folders representing categories which classify the plurality of files on a window, causing to select one of the plurality of displayed folders, and clearing the plurality of folders and the plurality of files which are displayed, and displaying a plurality of other folders as selective candidates in a category represented by a selected folder and the plurality of files, when one of the plurality of displayed folders is selected.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus executes communication with a data storage device via a network. The information processing apparatus includes a unit that designates a section of a stream of data stored in the data storage device, the section being to be downloaded into the information processing apparatus, and a unit that acquires partial data, which includes a stream belonging to the designated section within the stream of the data, from the data storage device via the network.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processing unit configured to display a picture display field to display a plurality of still pictures and an operation field which includes a slider to designate one of the plurality of still pictures to be displayed, and a control unit configured to control to display a still picture having a number corresponding to a position of the slider in the picture display field.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus performs communication with a server by selectively using one of first and second communication networks. The information processing apparatus determines which one of the first and second communication networks is to be used for communication with the server. Further, the information processing apparatus controls a transmission rate of data to be transmitted from the server to the information processing apparatus in accordance with the determined one of the first and second communication networks.
