  • Patent number: 9686749
    Abstract: A mobile phone 10 comprises a display 14 provided with an LED (46) that functions as a backlight, a display driver (42), etc. The display driver has a CABC (Content Adaptive Brightness Control) function to adjust illuminance of the backlight, an image quality of an image to be displayed, etc. based on the image that is displayed on the display 14. If a residual battery quantity of a secondary battery (58) becomes equal to or less that a first threshold value, for example, the CABC function is rendered in an enabled state. Furthermore, if the residual battery quantity becomes equal to or less that a second threshold value, an image parameter such as brightness, contrast, a gamma value, chroma saturation, etc. is changed such that the image that is output to the display driver becomes darker.

  • Publication number: 20150309568
    Abstract: A mobile phone has a display etc. and detects an eye-gaze input based on a point of gaze of a user. The mobile phone performs predetermined processing relevant to an object if the eye-gaze input to the object displayed on the display is detected. If the point of gaze of the user is included to an area that displays a text of a digital book when a digital book application is performed, for example, a detection precision of the eye-gaze input is set in a low precision mode. On the other hand, when the point of gaze of the user is included to another area that does not display the text, the detection precision of the eye-gaze input is set in a high precision mode. Then, after the detection precision of the eye-gaze input is thus set, an eye-gaze of the user is detected.

  • Publication number: 20150301595
    Abstract: A mobile phone 10 comprises a display 14 that displays objects such as an icon, and can detect an eye-gaze input of a user. Furthermore, if an eye-gaze input to an object is performed, an operation relevant to the object is performed. When receiving a new-arrival mail, for example, a mail icon (96a) is displayed on the display 14. At this time, in the mobile phone 10, a user operation for performing a mail function is forecasted and responsivity of an eye-gaze input to the mail icon is improved.
