Abstract: According to one embodiment, circuitry receives data relating to strokes including vertical lines and horizontal lines, wherein cells substantially surrounded by the vertical lines and horizontal lines are formed, and a table formed by the cells includes m rows and n columns wherein m and n are integers of one or greater, recognizes the strokes as an object of a table when m is greater than or equal to a first value and n is greater than or equal to a second value, and recognizes the strokes as an object other than the table when m is less than the first value and n is less than the second value.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a playback apparatus includes a multimedia processor having a decoding circuit to decode encoded video data and an arithmetic module configured to execute high pixel conversion for increasing a quantity of pixels of the decoded video data, a decoding module configured to decode the encoded video data, an issuing module configured to issue a changeover request for changing over between execution and non-execution of the high pixel conversion, and a changeover module configured to change over a providing destination of the encoded video data from any one of the multimedia processor and the decoding module to the other one thereof such that a picture group structure which is a unit for controlling the encoded video data is not divided, in response to the changeover request issued by the issuing module.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a memory, a detector, a display controller, an input controller and a storage controller. The memory stores first stroke data corresponding to a first handwritten stroke. The first stroke data is stored in association with a first orientation of a screen. The detector detects a second orientation of the electronic apparatus. The display controller controls a third orientation of the screen by using the second orientation and displays the first handwritten stroke according to the third orientation. The input controller receives second stroke data corresponding to a second handwritten stroke. The storage controller stores the second stroke data corresponding to a second handwritten stroke in association with the third orientation.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device displays, on a touch-screen display, a content in a display area and a bar comprising at least one first software button of an operating system at a first location on the bar. The bar is located under the display area. The electronic device changes a display location of the first software button on the bar to either a right side or a left side of the first location, in response to detection of a transition to an active state of a first application program configured to enable a handwriting input on the display area of the screen.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes an acquirer and a display controller. The acquirer is configured to acquire a contact area on a touchscreen display. The display controller is configured to execute display control of a first object if the contact area acquired by the acquirer is less than a first value. The display controller is further configured to execute display control of a second object different from the first object if the contact area acquired by the acquirer is not less than the first value.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a receiver and an output module. The receiver configured to receive a video data and audio data corresponding to the video data, the video data comprising a character image. The output module configured to output a first and a second image to a display, where a parallax of the first and the second images depends on the volume level of the audio data, the first image and the second image being based on the character image.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a playback apparatus includes a multimedia processor having a decoding circuit to decode encoded video data and an arithmetic module configured to execute high pixel conversion for increasing a quantity of pixels of the decoded video data, a decoding module configured to decode the encoded video data, an issuing module configured to issue a changeover request for changing over between execution and non-execution of the high pixel conversion, and a changeover module configured to change over a providing destination of the encoded video data from any one of the multimedia processor and the decoding module to the other one thereof such that a picture group structure which is a unit for controlling the encoded video data is not divided, in response to the changeover request issued by the issuing module.
