  • Patent number: 10855910
    Abstract: An electronic device according to a first aspect comprises an imaging device and a processor. The imaging device has a predetermined imaging region, and is configured to capture images having different focal distances. The processor is configured to execute a first process of identifying two or more focus identification regions included in a first imaging region included in the predetermined imaging region by comparing the captured images in the first imaging region, and a second process of interpolating a focal distance of a middle region not belonging to the two or more focus identification regions in the first imaging region. The second process includes a process of interpolating the focal distance of the middle region based on a focal distance of an interpolation focus region that is located inside or outside the middle region and that is one of the two or more focus identification regions.

  • Patent number: 9369963
    Abstract: A smartphone includes: a first communication processing unit that performs wireless communication by a WiMAX network; a second communication processing unit that performs communication with an external device; a touch-screen display; and a controller. In a state of searching for WiMAX, in a case in which a power supply of the touch-screen display is turned off and communication with the external device by the second communication processing unit is disconnected, the controller causes the first communication processing unit to stop searching for WiMAX.

  • Patent number: 9042939
    Abstract: A portable electronic device and a method of controlling are disclosed, each of which is capable of efficiently selecting a communication processing unit. The portable electronic device includes: a first communication processing unit conforming to a first communication scheme; a second communication processing unit conforming to a second communication scheme; a third communication processing unit conforming to a third communication scheme; and a control unit. When data communication is performed, the control unit controls each processing unit so as to preferentially use the first communication processing unit, the second communication processing unit, and the third communication processing unit in this order. In a case in which a network is disconnected while data communication is being performed by the second communication processing unit, the control unit executes control so as to continue the data communication by the third communication processing unit.

  • Patent number: 8699992
    Abstract: A mobile telephone device includes: a communication switching unit that selectively switches between an LTE communication system and a CDMA communication system, for performing communication; and a determination unit which, upon communication initiation being requested in a situation where a location registration is performed in the LTE communication system, determines whether or not the communication initiation is of a predetermined communication type; wherein if it is determined that the communication initiation is not of the predetermined communication type, the communication switching unit changes a location registering destination by giving priority to the LTE communication system after communication is completed in the CDMA communication system, and if it is determined that the communication initiation is of the predetermined communication type, the communication switching unit continues the location registration to the CDMA communication system even after the communication is completed in the CDMA com

  • Patent number: 8437707
    Abstract: The radio OFF mode control unit 12 cancels the radio OFF mode temporarily, even though the portable radio has shifted to a mass storage mode, when the access monitoring unit 13 does not receive any access command from the PC 90 for a predetermined time. The USB control unit 14 sets a state where the memory card does not exist virtually so that no access command is received from the PC. Moreover, the incoming information unit 15 inquires whether there is incoming information to the server 100.

  • Publication number: 20120327854
    Abstract: A mobile telephone device includes: a communication switching unit for selectively switching communication between an LTE communication system and a CDMA communication system; a connection availability reception unit for receiving connection non-available information in the LTE communication system in a case where connection to a destination is not possible, upon communication initiation being requested in a situation where location registration is performed in the LTE communication system; and a communication initiation processing unit which, after the communication initiation is requested, in a case where the connection non-available information is not received, performs the communication initiation by changing a location registering destination to the CDMA communication system, and in a case where the connection non-available information is received, maintains a state where the location registering destination is the LTE communication system and ends communication initiation processing.
