  • Publication number: 20230410773
    Abstract: An electronic musical instrument includes an input device that receives an input operation, a display, and a processor. The processor performs a first process upon duration of a detected continuation of the input operation being a reference time or longer. The processor performs a second process upon duration of a detected continuation of the input operation being less than the reference time. The processor causes the display to display a content from which it is determinable whether or not duration of a detected continuation of the input operation being the reference time or longer.

  • Publication number: 20230410775
    Abstract: An input interface device includes at least one processor. The processor performs control to cause, among light emitters, a first light emitter corresponding to a contact/proximity point detected by a detector to emit light with a luminous intensity higher than that of a remaining light emitter. The contact/proximity point is where an object is in contact with or in proximity to a detection surface. The processor further performs control, while the object is moving along the light emitters in a state in which the object is in contact with or in proximity to the detection surface, to gradually reduce a luminous intensity of, among the light emitters, a second light emitter corresponding to a point where the object being in contact with or in proximity to the detection surface once detected by the detector is no longer detected to put out the second light emitter in a predetermined time.

  • Publication number: 20230410779
    Abstract: An electronic device includes: a memory including a data region that stores data; a display device; and at least one processor. At least one processor executes: first boot processing in which a boot time is constant irrespective of a usage state of data in the data region, first output processing of outputting information of a first pattern to the display device during execution of the first boot processing, second boot processing in which a boot time varies depending on a usage state of the data, and second output processing of outputting information of a second pattern to the display device until the second boot processing is completed.

  • Publication number: 20200249763
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a sensor that acquires sensing data and a processor. The processor (i) determines, based on first sensing data acquired by the sensor, whether the electronic device is in a first posture state or not, (ii) specifies a level of a second posture state of the electronic device among a plurality of levels, based on second sensing data that is acquired by the sensor after the processor determines whether the electronic device is in the first posture state, and (iii) outputs a control signal based on the specified level.

  • Patent number: 8913885
    Abstract: For setting a tag ID in association with a content supposed to be provided to a portable terminal, the server acquires the location information of an illumination device of which the content is already stored in the memory and sets a tag ID in association with an illumination device that is away from the location presented by the location information by a given or longer distance. Then, the server associates and stores in the memory the set tag ID, location information of the illumination device transmitting the tag ID, content supposed to be provided. Subsequently, the server receives the tag ID and location information transmitted from a portable terminal, determines the content to transmit based on the received location information and the element stored in the memory, and transmits the determined content to the portable terminal.
