  • Patent number: 11662858
    Abstract: A terminal device such as a smartphone displays a first image on a display unit, and outputs a second image including the first image as a part to a display device such as a navigation device. Also, the terminal device obtains relative position information indicating a relative positional relation of the first image with respect to the second image from an external server. When a user makes a touch input to the second image displayed on the display device, the input position is transmitted from the display device to the terminal device. The terminal device obtains the conversion necessity information indicating whether or not the input position on the second image needs to be converted based on the relative position information, and converts the input position on the second image to the input position on the first image based on the relative position information when the conversion is necessary.

  • Patent number: 11184475
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing system with which an unnecessary alert to an emergency contact, for example, can be prevented and an increase in the communication volume for notification can be suppressed. An in-vehicle apparatus AP which is connectable to a smartphone SP and which is mounted on a vehicle is provided with: an interface 1 which acquires acceleration data indicating that a predetermined threshold value or more of impact has been applied to the smartphone SP; a display control unit 2 which, when the acceleration data have been acquired, makes a notification for selecting cancellation of a corresponding external alert; an operation control unit 3 which accepts a cancellation operation with respect to the notification; and a state management/information processing module 4 which cancels the external alert when the cancellation operation has been accepted.

  • Publication number: 20190346937
    Abstract: A specification unit (810) specifies an operational state including an operational mode of a mobile terminal device (800), and sends the specified result to a display control unit (820). When an information processing device (700) and the mobile terminal device (800) are performing cooperative operation, if it is discovered by means of the specification result that the operational mode of the mobile terminal device (800) changes, the display control unit (820) generates, according to the change of operational mode, display designation including icons to be displayed in the first display areas 721 of the information processing device (700) and there shapes. And the display control unit (820) transmits the generated display designation to the information processing device (700). Due to this, it is possible to employ the input unit of a different information processing device in an appropriate manner when performing actuation input to the mobile terminal device.
