Publication number: 20180253200Abstract: To provide an electronic apparatus capable of easily and accurately performing an operation of changing a display. A navigation system displays standard map information in small scale on a liquid crystal display device, and displays status information on movement speed of a vehicle or guidance information on distance and direction to a cross point to turn next on a head-up display device. Only while a contact of a contact body on a surface of a touchpad continues to be detected, first scaled-up map information as the scaled-up standard map information continues to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device instead of the standard map information.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2018Publication date: September 6, 2018Applicants: PIONEER CORPORATION, TOHOKU PIONEER CORPORATIONInventors: Makoto ABE, Koji SASAHARA, Takeru MIKI

Patent number: 9615166Abstract: Provided is an electronic machine that is provided with a speaker and that enables a direction of the speaker to be appropriately and arbitrarily changed. The electronic machine includes a speaker unit, housings, and a rotating device. The speaker unit is supported by the housing. The rotating device includes a first rotating device configured to rotate the speaker unit with respect to the housings about a direction intersecting with an axis of the housings serving as a rotational axis, and a second rotating device configured to rotate the speaker unit with respect to the housings about the axis of the housings serving as a rotational axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2012Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignees: PIONEER CORPORATION, TOHOKU PIONEER CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroaki Watanabe, Nobuyuki Sato, Takeru Miki, Toshiya Kosaka, Eitaro Unno, Takahiro Kudo, Yoshihiko Takeda

Publication number: 20160282960Abstract: A movable device has a moving portion causing a movable object to move when a motion of a detected object is detected. A shutter of a cup holder is slidably provided in a front and rear direction of a vehicle. A moving unit causes the shutter to move. A detecting sensor is provided on a surface of the shutter. When a person traces the surface of the shutter with a human finger, the detecting sensor detects the human finger at a plurality of positions. At this time, a CPU detects a motion of the human finger and controls the moving unit, and when the human finger moves to a rear side, the moving unit causes the shutter to be slid to the rear side and when the human finger moves to a front side, the moving unit causes the shutter to be slid to the front side.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2013Publication date: September 29, 2016Inventors: Makoto ABE, Takeru MIKI, Masanori SHOJI, Kenji KAWAMURA
