Abstract: A terminal device is provided which is capable of making a key display with which a user makes an input easily. A hover position detection unit measures a distribution of a physical quantity indicating a degree of approach of an operation finger to a touch panel, and detects a hover position from the distribution of the physical quantity. A target key identification unit identifies, as a target key, a key corresponding to a display region including coordinates of the hover position. A user assistance display control unit generates a display control signal indicating that an assistance display that represents the target key is to be displayed at a different position from a display position of the target key. A display makes a screen display in accordance with the display control signal.

Abstract: A portable terminal includes a first detection unit that detects a change in a position of the portable terminal; a second detection unit that detects a change in a physical quantity representing a surrounding condition of the portable terminal; and a transition unit that causes the portable terminal to transition from a first state to a second state in which electricity consumption is smaller than that of the first state, when a relation between a direction of the change detected by the first detection unit and a trend in the change in the physical quantity detected by the second detection unit satisfies a predetermined condition.

Abstract: A communication terminal includes: a screen; an operation acceptance unit; a communication establishment unit; a data transmitting unit that transmits determination image data currently being displayed on the local terminal to another terminal; a data receiving unit that receives determination image data from the other terminal; a relative position sensing unit; a data display region detection unit that acquires a user operation, senses a display position movement operation, and detects a data display region; and a display control unit that, when at least part of the data display region after the movement operation for the determination image data is included in a region that can be displayed on the screen of the local terminal, displays the determination image data in the data display region after the movement operation, only in the region that can be displayed on the screen of the local terminal.

Abstract: A mobile equipment includes an alternative display searching part sending an alternative display list request including current position information indicating the current position of the mobile equipment to a server, receiving from the server an alternative display list representing a list of display devices located near the current position, and selecting an alternative destination display device from the alternative display list on the basis of an inter-device distance between each of the display device and the mobile equipment, an ME short-distance radio communication part sending a distance measuring signal request signal to the display devices by short-distance radio communication and estimating the inter-device distance on the basis of the field strength of a distance measuring signal sent from the display devices, and an ME network connection part sending event information of the mobile equipment to the alternative destination display device.

Abstract: To suppress the occurrence of operation error with respect to a user operation for indicating an object on a display surface. Display device displays an image on display surface, and can also detect a proximity operation in which finger F is brought close to display surface without making contact and a contact operation in which the finger makes contact with display surface. Display device displays on display surface email composing screen SC1 that includes selectable objects. When a proximity operation that indicates object b1 is detected, display device sets a selection of object b1 to valid and sets a selection of surrounding objects b2 to b5 (objects represented by diagonal hatching in FIG. 6B) to invalid. When detecting a contact operation that indicates object b1 for which selection is set to valid, display device specifies object b1 as a selected object by a user.

Abstract: Support information or related information regarding an input operation target is explicitly displayed when the proximity is detected before a user selects and fixes an input operation target, so as to support a user's accurate input operation, thereby improving operability. A portable terminal includes a proximity detection unit that detects a proximity of the finger to a screen, and a key image combining unit that displays enlarged images of an item displayed at a proximity correspondence position on the screen and all items adjacent to the item at the proximity correspondence position which is a position on the screen corresponding to proximity coordinates of the finger of which the proximity is detected, or in a vicinity of the proximity correspondence position, as related information or support information regarding the item displayed at the proximity correspondence position on the screen.

Abstract: Display device is able to detect a proximity operation in which finger F is brought close to display surface without making contact and a contact operation in which the finger makes contact with display surface. Display device specifies a position of a finger of a user while in a stationary state above display screen as reference position BP1 or BP2 based on the proximate operation of the user. When display device specifies reference position BP1 or BP2 after screen SC1 including selectable objects is displayed on display surface, display device enlarges and displays objects located in specific region Ts according to the specified reference position (objects having reference sign “M” at the end). This allows for supporting the user in indicating by a contact operation of an object located at a position further away from the finger when the user operates display device with one hand.
