An electronic device of the present disclosure includes a casing, a translucent panel including a curved portion the curved portion being bent toward the casing, and a touch panel located on a rear surface of the translucent panel, the touch panel covering the curved portion, the touch panel including a transparent electrode or a wire electrically connected to the transparent electrode. The touch panel includes a curved region facing the curved portion. The transparent electrode and/or the wire include/includes an inclined wiring portion located in the curved region.

Electronic device

A mobile telephone includes a touch panel, an acceleration sensor which detects an acceleration, and an operation detection unit which detects a predetermined operation in accordance with the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor while an instruction made by the touch panel is being detected. For this, it is possible to detect an operation to press the touch panel while a user finger is in contact with the touch panel.

Portable device, method of detecting operation, and computer-readable storage medium storing program for detecting operation

In order to facilitate an operation of locking or unlocking a touch panel, a mobile terminal includes a first housing, a second housing connected to the first housing in a slidable manner, a touch panel provided on the first housing, a style detecting portion (S, S, S) for detecting one of a plurality of possible styles on the basis of the relative positions of the first and second housings, a signal accepting portion (S) for accepting a signal output from the touch panel, and a mode switching portion (S, S) for switching an input mode between a lock mode and an unlock mode on the basis of the detected style and presence/absence of a signal output from the touch panel.

Mobile terminal with relative slide housing positions determining operational modes

In the mobile telephone, an image display surface of a display is arranged on a front surface of a casing, and a camera is arranged on a rear surface thereof. The mobile telephone includes: a proximity sensor, and acceleration sensor, and a control circuit. The control circuit includes: a unit that detects that the casing has been placed on the object; a unit that performs a color conversion process for converting a color of each pixel into a complementary color on an image signal obtained from the camera before detection of that the casing has been placed on the object; and a unit that outputs a color-converted image on the image display surface when an incoming call/mail is received after detection of that the casing has been placed on the object.
