An information processing apparatus includes: two amplifiers that and output sound signals based on sound data to two speakers, respectively, that the stereo speaker has; a connector that connects the amplifiers to the two speakers; and a microphone. When a first stereo speaker is to be connected to the connector, the stereo speaker is connected so that the two speakers of the first stereo speaker are in phase with each other. When a second stereo speaker is to be connected to the connector, the stereo speaker is connected so that the two speakers of the second stereo speaker are in reverse phase with each other. The information processing apparatus outputs a sound signal based on predetermined sound data from the amplifiers to the stereo speaker, thus identifying the type of the stereo speaker connected to the connector based on the sound collected with the microphone.

Information processing apparatus and control method

A stand supports an electronic apparatus in an erect state. The stand includes: a supporting portion that has a supporting surface which supports a rear surface of the electronic apparatus; a leg portion that is rotatably connected to the supporting portion via a hinge; a flexible member that has flexibility, that is formed in a sheet shape, and that is provided along one edge of the supporting portion so as to protrude from the one edge; a surface material that has flexibility and forms front surfaces of the supporting portion and the flexible member; a first bonding layer that fixes the surface material onto the supporting portion; and a second bonding layer that is formed to have a lower coating density of a bonding adhesive than the first bonding layer and fixes the surface material onto the flexible member.

Stand, method of manufacturing stand, and keyboard-stand set

An information processing apparatus includes a processor which executes an OS; a speaker which outputs a sound; a short-distance wireless communication unit which outputs first information indicating that a specific signal is received by short-distance wireless communication; an EC which outputs first sound data to output a sound in response to acquiring the first information output from the short-distance wireless communication unit; and an audio processing device which exclusively switches between the sound based on the first sound data output from the EC and a sound based on second sound data output from the processor by processing based on the OS in order to output either one of the sounds from the speaker. When acquiring the first information output from the short-distance wireless communication unit, the EC causes the audio processing device to output the sound based on the first sound data from the speaker.

An electronic device includes: a first processing circuit configured to detect voice from ambient sounds in first processing, and when detecting voice after a state of detecting no voice continues for a first period of time or longer, shift procedure to second processing; a second processing circuit configured to determine whether the voice detected from the ambient sound includes a specific word or not in the second processing, while being configured, when the specific word appears within a second period of time after the shifting to the second processing, to shift the procedure to third processing, and, when the specific word does not appear within the second period of time, not to shift the procedure to the third processing; and a third processing circuit configured to activate the specific function in the third processing.
