  • Information processing device, selection operation detection method, and program
    Patent number: 9665253
    Abstract: An information processing device has a touch position detection unit that detects the touch position on a display screen of a touch performed on the display screen of a display device, a pressing force value detection unit that detects the pressing force value of the touch, a display control unit that changes the display magnification of the display device when the pressing force value detection unit detects a pressing force value equal to or greater than a prescribed pressing force value, and a selection unit that establishes selection of an item to be selected, based on the touched position when the touch position detection unit detects that the touch is broken.

  • Mobile terminal having pulse meter
    Patent number: 8526998
    Abstract: A mobile terminal (10) of the present invention has a sensor (15) for detecting a pulse, in an upper end portion of a back surface of a main body of the mobile terminal (10). The sensor (15) is constituted by a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element. A position of the sensor is determined so that a force acting on the sensor falls within a range from 50 gf to 200 gf in a case where the mobile terminal is supported at its lower end portion and at the sensor by a fingertip. Thus, the present invention provides the mobile terminal (10) which can be always carried with a user and which realizes easy and stable pulse measurement.
