An electronic device includes a display unit, a panel, a tactile sensation providing unitconfigured to vibrate a touch face of the panel, and a control unitconfigured, when detecting contact to a tactile sensation providing area of the touch face corresponding to a predetermined word displayed on the display unit, to drive the tactile sensation providing unitbased on tactile sensation providing information associated with the predetermined word, such that a tactile sensation is provided to a contact object in contact with the tactile sensation providing area.

Electronic device

An object of the present invention is to provide corresponding tactile sensations in accordance with a characteristic of an image displayed. Specifically, an electronic deviceaccording to the present invention includes a display unitconfigured to display an image, a touch sensorconfigured to detect a touch, a tactile sensation providing unitconfigured to provide the tactile sensation to a touch face of the touch sensor, and a control unitconfigured to divide the image into a plurality of areas and, when the touch sensor detects the touch to a position corresponding to any of the plurality of areas, to control the tactile sensation providing unitto provide the tactile sensation associated with the area.

Electronic device and control method for electronic device

According to an aspect, a portable photographing device includes: an image capturing unit; a projecting unit for projecting an image; and a storing unit for storing an image captured by the image capturing unit. The projecting unit projects any of a first image captured by the image capturing unit, a second image related to the first image, and a third image obtained by synthesizing the first image with the second image as a projection image into a region which is different from an image capturing region of the photographing unit. The storing unit stores the first image in the projection of the projection image or the first image after the projection of the projection image.

Portable photographing device

A portable electronic device operable to indicate received media is disclosed. A first set of lighting units is used to indicate a received media based on an orientation of the portable electronic device. A second set of the lighting units may be activated based on a change in the orientation of the portable electronic device.

Portable electronic device having a plurality of light elements and method of illuminating same

Disclosed is an electronic device capable of controlling a power supply interrupt according to the state of water leakage. A portable telephone () is equipped with a water leakage detection unit () that detects a physical quantity which changes according to the state of water leakage and a CPU () that interrupts a power supply in response to the detection result from the water leakage detection unit (). When the electrostatic capacity detected by the water leakage detection unit () is greater than or equal to a threshold value A and less than a threshold value B, the CPU () continues to interrupt the power supply until a time Telapses, and when the electrostatic capacity detected by the water leakage detection unit () is equal to or greater than the threshold value B, said CPU continues to interrupt the power supply until a time Twhich is longer than the time Telapses.
