This information processing system processes information through communication between a first information processing device and a second information processing device. The second information processing device has a recording unit and a control unit. The recording unit records a first OS and a second OS. The control unit selects one of the first OS and the second OS, according to a connection state with the first information processing device. The control unit controls the second information processing device or a combination of the first information processing device and the second information processing device, using the OS selected here.

Included is a flat box shaped housinghaving, on a main surfacethereof, a rectangular image display surfaceTwo images whose vertical directions are different from each other by 90 degrees are displayed on the image display surfaceAn imaging sensoris disposed at a portion surrounding the image display surfaceat a part away from center lines of the image display surfacein the height direction and the width direction. An optical axis of the imaging sensoris tilted toward a reference point located on a perpendicular line that perpendicularly intersects the image display surfaceat the center of the image display surfaceWith the above described configuration, an image captured from a fine angle is obtained.

In the electronic equipment of the present application, a center axis of a cylindrical portionof a shaftis eccentric with respect to a rotation center axis of the shaft, whereby even when a cablecomes closest to the shaftin the turning of a first housingor second housing, a sufficient space can be secured between the shaftand the cable. Thus, in a turning range of the first housingor second housing, it is highly unlikely that the shaftand the cablecome into contact with each other, which avoids an increase in a tension of the cableand wear on an insulation cover of the cable. By avoiding the increase in the tension of the cable, breakage of the electric wires in the cablecan be avoided.

A cushioning member includes a first plane, an opening opened to the first plane, and an air storage for storing air formed from the opening to an inside of the cushioning member. When a shock load is imposed on the cushioning member, the air in the air storage is compressed, and the first plane is deformed by the pressure of the compressed air to form a gap. A part of the compressed air flows out of the air storage through the gap. This structure provides a high shock-cushioning effect.
