Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for pointing to at least one key on a software keyboard. By use of a processor, a keyboard is displayed on a display device. At least one indicator that emphasizes at least one key of the keyboard is displayed. The at least one indicator may be at least one of a band, a pointing mark, and circles gradually decreasing in size.

Abstract: A manner of reducing the power consumption is utilized in a tablet terminal equipped with a digitizer for inputting with an electronic pen. When another tablet terminal or a smartphone approaches the tablet terminal, each digitizer detects input. When the digitizer detects the input, it is determined whether the input is electronic pen input from the electronic pen or proximity input caused by the proximity of the other tablet terminal or the smartphone. In the case of electronic pen input, coordinate information is transferred to a system, while in the case of proximity input, the system takes an action such as shifting a tablet terminal to a sleep state.

Abstract: A method for providing a mute control function in a computer having multiple microphones is disclosed. A set of mute state information is stored in a control table of a portable computer. The mute state information is for controlling a mute state. Device identifiers (IDs) of all microphones that are connected to the portable computer are registered with the control table. The microphones corresponding to the device IDs registered in the control table are controlled to be in the same mute state based on the mute state information. In response to a detection of an activation of the mute button, the mute state information are inverted. The device IDs registered in the control table are to be controlled in the same mute state based on the inverted mute state information.

Abstract: To allow for switching between a normal display and a zoom display by a simple operation, thereby providing both of a large amount of information by high resolution and high visibility of the display. In a computer system having a display apparatus as output unit, an input section 50 for accepting a user operation to issue a request for changing a display zoom factor, a resolution changer 10 for changing the resolution of the display apparatus in response to the request for changing the display zoom factor issued by the input section 50, and a window resizer 20 for resizing a predetermined window displayed on the display screen 70 of the display apparatus so as to be displayed over almost the entire display screen 70 after the resolution is change by the resolution changer 10.

Abstract: Configuration and operation information with respect to more than one display devices associated with a computer system can be gathered and stored as profiles. The information preferably includes at least one of information on the number of colors, resolution, and synchronous frequency, information on the power management function and/or screen saver function, and information on which one of multiple connected displays is to be treated as the primary display device. By selecting a profile so as to simultaneously perform various settings on the plurality of display devices, it is possible to easily set and switch between display functions.

Abstract: When a user performs a specified operation, a resolution changing unit 22 changes display resolution of a display device 10, allowing the size of texts and images, which are displayed inside of a window, to be increased or decreased at a touch. In order not to maintain the position and size of a window in the display area before and after changing display resolution, an unchanged information acquisition unit 21 acquires the position and size of the window before changing resolution, and then a window display changing unit 23 performs window display processing using the acquired information. In addition, the resolution of texts and images displayed inside of a window is changed with change of display resolution.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program device to control an environment for a computer's software execution appropriately to each software program to be executed by a computer are disclosed. While a specific application program is executed, if a volume value, etc. of output voices/sounds are updated, it is confirmed whether to register updated values of the volume, etc. before those values are registered in a volume setting data base so as to be corresponded to a class name of a currently executed application program. In addition, if a focused window on a screen is changed, the class name of the application program corresponding to a new window to be focused is obtained. If a volume value, etc. of the application program are already registered in a volume setting data base, the volume, etc. of the output voices/sounds are updated.
