  • Patent number: 9820258
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus of an aspect of the present disclosure is an electronic apparatus by which a phone call can be made. The electronic apparatus includes a communication unit, an input unit, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to determine whether or not a conversation held in the phone call has been terminated based on at least one of the audio signal transmitted or received by the communication unit during the phone call and an operation of disconnecting the phone call performed through the input unit. The at least one processor is configured to determine whether or not the conversation has been resumed based on the audio signal received by the communication unit from the other party of the phone call after determining that the conversation has been terminated.

  • Patent number: 9565638
    Abstract: A mobile telephone includes a communication module, and a control module configured to perform background communication with respect to an application via the communication module. The control module restricts background communication, based on an activation history of the application in foreground. The control module includes a determination module configured to determine whether background communication is unnecessary based on the activation history of the application in foreground with respect to each of the applications, and a setting switching module configured to switch communication setting of the application, of which background communication is determined to be unnecessary, from a first setting of permitting the background communication to a second setting of restricting the background communication.
