Abstract: A mobile electronic apparatus comprises a display including a display area having a first edge and a second edge, an input unit including a detector, and at least one processor. The display displays a display screen on the display area. The detector detects an operation performed on the display area. The at least one processor places a mode change element adjacent to the first edge or the second edge of the display area, scales down the display screen in response to detection of a first operation performed on the mode change element, and displays the display screen, which is scaled down, as a scaled-down screen on a part of the display area. The at least one processor determines, in response to a user's input to the input unit, which one of the first edge and the second edge is to be adjacent to the mode change element.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus comprises a wireless communication unit, a display, a position acquiring unit, and at least one processor. The position acquiring unit obtains a position information of the electronic apparatus based on a signal received by the wireless communication unit. The processor generates a whole route along which a user has moved while distinguishing between first and second section routes. The first section route is a route in which an acquisition accuracy of the position information is lower than a reference value. The processor obtains a distance between starting and ending points of the first section route based on an information different from a position information. The processor generates a candidate section route, which is different from the first section route, for connecting the starting and ending points based on the distance. The processor displays the first and second section routes, and the candidate section route on the display.

Abstract: A mobile electronic device includes a display unit, a storage unit, and a control unit. The display unit displays a first screen or a second screen. The storage unit stores therein a character string in association with a condition. The control unit displays the character string on the first screen in a superimposed manner in a case where the first screen is displayed on the display unit and the condition is satisfied. The control unit does not display the character string on the second screen in the superimposed manner in a case where the second screen is displayed on the display unit and the condition is satisfied.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a photographing device for acquiring a created image; and a display device for showing a preview image of the created image. The apparatus may have a control device for superimposing a plurality of outlines on the preview image shown on the display device, and subjecting at least one of areas, which are included in the created image and are surrounded by the outlines in the preview image, to an image transformation process. Alternatively, the apparatus has a control device for superimposing an outline, which corresponds to a synthetic target image indicating a target image of transformation, on the preview image shown on the display device, and subjecting an area, which is included in the created image and is surrounded by the outline in the preview image, to an image transformation process performed based on the synthetic target image.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device that makes it easy to input desired characters using a directional key. Also disclosed is a display control method for an electronic device. The disclosed electronic device is provided with a display unit (21), a user input unit (11) that can specify a plurality of directions, and a control unit (45). If one of the plurality of directions is specified via the user input unit (11) while characters and numbers are being displayed on the display unit (21), the control unit selects different characters and different numbers for changing the characters and/or numbers displayed on the display unit (21) to other characters and numbers. The control unit then has the display unit (21) display the selected other characters and numbers.

Abstract: A mobile terminal device is provided which can be used without an incongruous feeling. In Step S14, it is determined whether or not the operated application is the second display state (landscape display). When it is determined that the application is not the landscape display, the process is transferred to Step S15, and the key operation functions assigned to the keys b1 to b6 of the “TURN-CLOSE STATE (LENGTHWISE)” of the key assignment table are assigned to the keys b1 to b6. In Step S14, when it is determined that the operated application is the landscape display, the process is transferred to Step S16, the key operation functions assigned to the keys b1 to b6 of “TURN-CLOSE STATE (WIDTHWISE)” of the key assignment table are assigned to the keys b1 to b6, and the key operation unit in the turn-close state has the same function as the cross key 15a.
