  • Publication number: 20130275078
    Abstract: A mobile telephone device includes a control unit that determines that a state is a state of walking or a movement state different from the state of walking, based on acceleration. In a case in which the control unit determines that a state is the movement state different from the state of walking, if a state immediately before determining the movement state different from the state of walking is the state of walking, the control unit makes the determination valid. As an example, the movement state different from the state of walking is a state of moving on a bicycle or a state of moving by transportation other than the bicycle.

  • Publication number: 20130016093
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a display device includes a display unit, a control unit, and a detecting unit. The display unit stereoscopically displays a three-dimensional block in a three-dimensional space. A virtual play space in the three-dimensional space is sectioned in a three-dimensional matrix pattern, and the three-dimensional block occupies one or a plurality of sections obtained by sectioning. The detecting unit detects a position of an object in the three-dimensional space. The control unit controls the display unit to allow the three-dimensional block to appear. When a change with time in the object in the three-dimensional space is detected by the detecting unit, the control unit controls the display unit to allow the three-dimensional block to move in section unit based on a detection result.
