Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a display device, a touch sensor, a housing, and a motion sensor. The display device includes a display screen. The touch sensor is configured to detect an operation performed at a display screen side of the display device. The housing includes a first end and a second end. The first end is positioned at a periphery side of the display screen and configured to be supported by a support. The second end is positioned at the periphery side of the display screen and at a side opposite the first end. The housing is configured to support the display device in a manner so that the display screen is viewable. The housing is configured to house an electrical component. The motion sensor is provided in the housing at a position closer to the first end than to the second end.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a first housing for a touch-screen display, a second housing for a touchpad, the first housing being slidably connected to the second housing, a detector, and a change module. The detector is configured to detect an input operation on the touchpad, when the touchpad is exposed. The change controller is configured to change a direction of a content displayed on the touch-screen display based on detection of the input operation.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a base unit having an upper surface on which a keyboard is placed, a display unit which is set at one of a first position at which a display surface of the display unit and the keyboard are exposed and a second position at which a rear surface of the display unit covers an upper surface of the base unit, a screen image rotation module, and a control module. The screen image rotation module rotates a screen image on a display surface of the display unit in accordance with an orientation of the display unit relative to a gravity direction. The control module inhibits rotation of the screen image if the display unit is set at the first position.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processor includes a touch point sensor, a direction sensor, and a display controller. The touch point sensor detects a touch point of a finger that touches a touch panel of a display device. The direction sensor detects a direction that the finger points. The display controller provides a pop-up display on the display device at a position on at least one straight line perpendicular to a straight line passing on the touch point in parallel to the direction that the finger points. The position is separated from a cross point of the straight lines by a predetermined distance.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus displays one or more windows of a plurality of windows corresponding to a plurality of application programs on a touch-screen display, and includes a storage device, a display control module and an execution control module. The storage device stores operation screen information items associated with the application programs. The display control module displays a operation screen based on a first item of the items when a predetermined area in a first window of the plurality of windows has been touched, the operation screen including buttons for operating a first application program of the application programs, the first item being associated with the first application program, the first application program corresponding to the first window. The execution control module instructs the first application program to execute a function corresponding to a button of the buttons in response to the button being touched.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an storage apparatus including a first storage and a second storage. The storage apparatus includes a first data management module which stores data which is required to be read in a the predetermined period in the second storage so that the data requested to be read in the predetermined period is distinguishable. The storage apparatus further includes a second data management module which performs replacement of the data in the second storage so that data should be stored in the second storage, in an order reverse to that in which the data is requested to be read, while retaining the data stored in the second storage by the first data management module.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided an information processing apparatus including a pattern acquiring unit configured to acquire an access pattern of a series of read access to a storage device when an operating system is booted, a data pre-read unit configured to pre-read read access target data from the storage device based on the access pattern and to load the data in a memory when the operating system is booted next, and an access unit configured to supply data requested by the read access to the operating system when the requested data exists in data loaded in the memory.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes: an interface unit that receives a storing request for storing a plurality of files onto a plurality of removable storages; and a processing unit that performs a storing process in response to the storing request received by the interface unit, the storing process including storing a subset of the plurality of files and additional information onto at least one of the plurality of removable storages, wherein the additional information includes: file catalog information that indicates a file catalog of the plurality of files that is to be stored onto the plurality of removable storages other than the one of the plurality of removable storages; and correspondence information that indicates correspondences of each of the plurality of files with a corresponding removable storage that stores the each of the plurality of files.
