A mobile phone that can improve the convenience is provided. A mobile phone includes a communication interface configured to transmit and receive a signal, a touchscreen display, and a controller configured to, when the communication interface receives a predetermined signal indicating a keyword during a call, display an operation target object corresponding to the signal on the touchscreen display.

Mobile phone

A sound generator includes at least one piezoelectric vibrator including a piezoelectric element, a vibration unit in one of a non-contact state not contacting the at least one piezoelectric vibrator and a contact state contacting the at least one piezoelectric vibrator. While in the contact state, the at least one piezoelectric vibrator generates vibration in response to a signal, and causes a contact surface contacted by the vibration unit to vibrate and generate a sound to be emitted from the contact surface. The sound generator can detect driving allowed and driving denied states, and control application of a sound signal in accordance with the two states to the piezoelectric element.

Sound generator and sound generation system

An electronic apparatus that may be enabled by a user's simple operation to a touch panel, a control method of the electronic apparatus, and a control program of the electronic apparatus are provided. An electronic apparatus includes a contact detector for detecting a contact, an acceleration detector for detecting acceleration, a display for displaying an image, and controllers for controlling, when the acceleration detector detects predetermined acceleration caused by a first tap and, within a predetermined period therefrom, the contact detector detects a contact caused by a second touch, to carry out an operation based on the contact.

Electronic apparatus, control method of electronic apparatus, and control program of electronic apparatus

According to one of aspects, an electronic device includes a speaker and a controller. The controller is configured to acquire information and output an acquired information from the speaker upon sounding an alarm.

Electronic device, control method, and control program

A sound generator includes a piezoelectric vibrator () including a piezoelectric element (), an anchor applying a load to the piezoelectric vibrator (), and a control unit () configured to control an input voltage based on a frequency characteristic, the input voltage being applied to the piezoelectric element () as a sound signal. While the load from the anchor is being applied to the piezoelectric vibrator (), the piezoelectric vibrator () deforms in accordance with the input voltage applied to the piezoelectric element () from the control unit (), and deformation of the piezoelectric vibrator () vibrates a contact surface () contacted by the sound generator, causing sound to be emitted from the contact surface ().

According to one of aspects, an electronic device includes a touch screen display and a controller. The touch screen display is configured to display a screen. The touch screen display is configured to detect an operation. The controller is configured to display the screen, reduce the screen according to an operation detected through the touch screen display, and display a reduced screen.

According to one of aspects, an electronic device includes: a microphone; and a controller configured to perform processing based on a result of recognition of voice received by the microphone, wherein the controller is configured to display a list of applications when the processing fails to be performed based on the result of recognition.

According to one of aspects, an electronic device includes a sound input module and a controller. The controller is configured to control a voice input through the sound input module to be activated when detecting occurrence of an event to be notified to a user.

According to an aspect, a device includes: a display unit for displaying a screen; a sensor for detecting an inclination of the display unit; an operating unit for detecting an operation; and a controller. The controller changes an orientation of the screen depending upon the inclination detected through the sensor and the operation detected through the operation unit.

Device, method and storage medium storing program for controlling screen orientation

According to an aspect, a mobile electronic device includes: a display unit, an operating unit, and a control unit. The display unit for displays a character input screen including a part of a plurality of soft key objects each associated with a process in a line. The operating unit receives input of an operation. Upon detecting a changing operation through the operating unit, the control unit changes arrangement of the soft key objects such that at least one of the soft key objects that has been displayed is not displayed and at least one of the soft key objects that has not been displayed is displayed.

Mobile electronic device, control method, and storage medium storing control program

The tactile sensation providing device according to the present invention includes a touch sensor () that detects contact, a tactile sensation providing unit () that provides a tactile sensation to a contacting object in contact with the touch sensor (), and a control unit () that controls the tactile sensation providing unit (), when the touch sensor () detects a slide operation by the contacting object, to provide the tactile sensation continuously while varying the tactile sensation provided to the contacting object during the slide operation in accordance with a position of the contacting object during the slide operation, whereby can provide the user's finger, when detecting a slide operation by a user, with a tactile sensation that varies during the slide operation in accordance with the position of the user's finger during the slide operation.

Tactile sensation providing device

According to an aspect, an information processing device includes: a touch panel for detecting a contact; and a controller configured to display a virtual keyboard including a plurality of buttons on the touch panel, and receive, when the touch panel detects a contact started at a first position on the surface of the touch panel and terminated at a second position on the surface of the touch panel, a character string including characters corresponding to the buttons displayed on a trajectory obtained by connecting each position at which the contact is detected from when the contact is started at the first position to when the contact is terminated at the second position as input.

Information processing device and character input method

According to an aspect, an electronic device includes a display unit, an operation unit, and a control unit. The display unit displays a screen corresponding to an application during execution thereof. The operation unit is operated in order to input a character. When an operation for a character input is performed through the operation unit while the screen corresponding to the application is displayed on the display unit, the control unit displays an input character on the display unit while maintaining a state in which the screen corresponding to the application before the character is input is displayed.

Electronic device and screen display method

According to an aspect, a mobile electronic device includes a display unit, an operating unit, and a control unit. The display unit displays a lock screen in a first locked state. The operating unit receives an input of an operation. The control unit cancels the first locked state when an input of a first operation is detected through the operating unit while the lock screen is displayed on the display unit, and enters a second locked state when an input of a second operation is detected through the operating unit while the lock screen is displayed on the display unit.
