  • Patent number: 9372623
    Abstract: To provide an information processing terminal capable of solving the problem in which the positions of operational objects cannot be adjusted in accordance with the holding style so as to improve operativity. A display input unit has a display screen and receives a touch operation made to the display screen. A detecting unit detects a position at which the touch operation has been made on the display screen. A control unit displays operational objects or icons on the display screen. The control unit also moves icons to an icon gathering area in accordance with the number of detected areas among a plurality of setting areas set up in the display screen, or the setting areas including an operated position detected by detecting unit 2.

  • Publication number: 20140087713
    Abstract: A control unit (13) controls a remote operation function unit (12) to allow accepting a remote operation on a mobile phone device (1) from an external on the condition that a telephone call using a telephone function unit (11) included in the mobile phone device (1) is initiated with a predetermined counterparty that is permitted for the remote operation. Further, the control unit (13) stops accepting the remote operation by the remote operation function unit (12) on the condition that the telephone call with the predetermined counterparty is terminated. Thus, for example, it is possible to appropriately start and stop the remote operation on the mobile phone device without excessively troubling a user.

  • Publication number: 20110066681
    Abstract: It is possible to automatically execute an offline Web application without requiring installation of software. A mobile terminal includes: a client program, a server program execution environment and a local proxy server. An application server has a server program. The local proxy server of the mobile terminal acquires a server program from the application server in accordance with an HTTP request from the client program and installs the program in the server program execution environment. When the installation is complete, synchronization with the server program of the application server side is executed. The local proxy server divides the HTTP request from the client program to a server program on the mobile terminal and a server program on the application server.
