  • Electronic apparatus, operating method of electronic apparatus, and recording medium
    Patent number: 10289887
    Abstract: A fingerprint sensor includes a detection area to be touched by a user with a finger. The fingerprint sensor has a detection mode including a first detection mode in which the fingerprint sensor does not detect a fingerprint of the finger that is in contact with the detection area and a second detection mode in which the fingerprint sensor detects the fingerprint. At least one processor is configured to set the detection mode to the second detection mode when a predetermined condition is failed to be met while a display mode is set to a first display mode in which a display displays no information. Also, the at least one processor is configured to set the detection mode to the first detection mode when the predetermined condition is met while the display mode is set to the first display mode.

  • ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC DEVICE
    Publication number: 20160139907
    Abstract: A mobile phone includes a display, a memory and a deletion control. The deletion control unit is configured to, when a tap operation is performed on a deletion icon attached to a start-up icon, extract a deletion candidate application relevant to a deletion target application on which a tap operation has been performed based on information in an application information table stored in the memory unit. The deletion control unit is configured to delete the deletion target application and to delete the extracted deletion candidate application.
