Patent number: 10955958Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display panel, a frame, a touch sensor, and a controller. The display panel includes a display surface of a predetermined display area. The frame includes a frame surface that surrounds the display panel and determines the display area. The touch sensor is configured to detect touches to the display surface and the frame surface. The controller is configured to execute predetermined processing when a touch to a first area on the display surface is detected, and to execute the predetermined processing when a touch to a second area on the frame surface is detected, the second area being adjacent to the first area.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2011Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Shuhei Yukawa, Daisuke Kurosaki, Souichi Tsukahara, Hanae Higuchi

Patent number: 9395761Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including a first member and a second member which are connected by rotation mechanisms. The rotation mechanisms each have a compression spring which expands and contracts along an axial direction of a rotation shaft serving as a center of a rotation, a cam which is rotated by the compression member and generate torque which rotates the first member and the second member, and a damper which generates a load to the torque generated by the cam according to a rotation speed of the rotation shaft. A pressure angle of the cam is set in such a manner that a ratio in which a return force of the compression spring is converted to force which rotates the cam as the compression spring is further compressed is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2014Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Shuhei Yukawa, Masayoshi Koganei, Yuuki Kubota
