  • Publication number: 20230276015
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus including a plurality of lenses acquires a first captured image captured using a first lens, acquires a second captured image captured using a second lens, acquires a third captured image captured using a third lens, superimposes the second captured image on the first captured image, detects an object from the first captured image, generates a combined image where the second captured image is superimposed on the first captured image in a case where a region of the detected does not overlap with a region where the second captured image is superimposed, and generates a combined image where the second captured image is superimposed on the third captured image in a case where the region of the detected object overlaps with the region where the second captured image is superimposed.

  • Patent number: 11335029
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an eye gaze detection unit that detects a gaze position of a user, and a control unit that changes a luminance value of a background image displayed on a display unit in at least two steps. The control unit performs control to, when the luminance value is a first luminance value, change the luminance value from the first luminance value to a second luminance value after the eye gaze detection unit detects a plurality of gaze positions of the user including at least the gaze position of the user in a case where an item is displayed at a first position on the display unit and the gaze position of the user in a case where the item is displayed at a second position thereon. The eye gaze detection unit detects the gaze position of the user when the luminance value is the second luminance value.

  • Patent number: 11252322
    Abstract: An electronic device according to the present invention, includes at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a detecting unit configured to detect a movement operation involving a movement of an operating body; and a control unit configured to perform control such that in a first case where a number of candidates as a selected position for a predetermined function is a first number, the selected position for the predetermined function is moved in accordance with an operation amount of the movement operation exceeding a first threshold, and in a second case where the number of candidates as the selected position for the predetermined function is a second number, the selected position for the predetermined function is moved in accordance with the movement operation even when the operation amount of the movement operation does not exceed the first threshold.

  • Patent number: 11245835
    Abstract: An electronic device includes: a first operation member; a second operation member; and at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a control unit configured to perform control so as to execute a predetermined function in accordance with an operation to the first operation member and to execute the predetermined function in accordance with an operation to the second operation member, and, in a case where operations to both the first operation member and the second operation member are made, to execute the predetermined function in accordance with the operation to the first operation member without responding to the operation to the second operation member.

  • Publication number: 20200341627
    Abstract: An electronic device includes at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a detecting unit configured to detect a movement operation involving a movement of an operating body; and a control unit configured to perform control so as to move a selected position in a case where an operation amount of the movement operation exceeds a threshold, the control unit performing control so that if the movement operation is performed in a first direction, the selected position is moved in a direction corresponding to the first direction in a case where the operation amount exceeds a first threshold, and if the movement operation is performed in a second direction, the selected position is moved in a direction corresponding to the second direction in a case where the operation amount exceeds a second threshold, the second threshold being smaller than the first threshold.
