The flying object is configured to be powered by electric power generated by the plurality of second photoelectric conversion elements. The support member connects the screen with the flying object. The controller is configured to control the flying object based on an evaluation of the electric power generated by the plurality of first photoelectric conversion elements.

Screen device and image projection system

An electronic deviceaccording to an embodiment includes: a display sectionfor displaying an operation areaincluding a reference areaand a non-reference area; a touch panelprovided on a display surface side of the display section; an informing sectionfor informing a user of an operation status of the user; a control sectionandfor controlling the operation of the informing section; and a distinction sectionfor distinguishing between a first operation where the user searches for the reference areaon the touch paneland a second operation which is a key input operation to the operation area. The control sectionandcontrols the operation of the informing sectionbased on a result of distinction by the distinction section

Electronic device

An exemplary electronic device includes: a housing; a display configured to display an operation area; a touch screen panel configured to detect at least an input operation made by a user to the operation area; a first vibrator configured to vibrate at least one of the display and the touch screen panel; a second vibrator configured to vibrate the housing; and a vibration controller configured to control vibration of the first vibrator and the second vibrator in accordance with the input operation of the user to the touch screen panel.

The user is allowed to simulatively experience a tactile sensation that would be felt when actually touching on the object being displayed on a screen. An electronic deviceincludes a display devicefor displaying displayed information, a touch panelto be touched by the user, a displayed information control sectionfor controlling display of the displayed information, thermoelectric element sectionsfor cooling or heating the touch panel, and a temperature control sectionfor controlling the temperature of the touch panelin accordance with the displayed information displayed on the display device

An electronic device includes: a reproduction section for reproducing a content item; a touch panel for detecting a user operation for changing a reproduction position of the content item; and a vibrating section for vibrating the touch panel. The vibrating section varies the vibration of the touch panel depending on whether or not the reproduction position which has been changed through the user operation detected by the touch panel is a specified reproduction position.

Electronic apparatus including vibrating section which vibrates depending on reproduction position

An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor configured to capture an image of a subject; an identification information storage unit configured to store a particular subject and a terminal device corresponding to the particular subject; a face detection unit and a face recognition unit configured to detect the particular subject stored in the identification information storage unit in the image captured by the image sensor; and a microcomputer configured to notify, when the face detection unit and the face recognition unit detect the particular subject, the terminal device which is stored in the identification information storage unit and corresponds to the detected particular subject that the particular subject is detected.

Imaging apparatus and imaging system

A digital camera of the present invention includes a receiving portionthat receives a control signal from a remote controller, and a microcomputerhaving a live view mode controlling so that image data generated by a CMOS sensoror image data obtained by subjecting the image data generated by the CMOS sensorto predetermined processing is displayed on a liquid crystal monitoras a moving image in real time, wherein when the receiving portionreceives the control signal from the remote controller, the microcomputercontrols so as to shift the digital camera to a live view mode. Due to this configuration, in a digital camera that includes a movable mirror and is capable of displaying a subject image in a live view through an electronic viewfinder, the operability thereof can be enhanced.

Digital camera

An electronic deviceaccording to an embodiment includes: a display sectionfor displaying an operation area; a touch paneldisposed on a display surface side of the display section; a vibration sectionfor vibrating the touch panel; a vibration control sectionfor controlling a vibration pattern of the vibration section; and a detection sectionfor detecting whether an operation to the touch panelhas been made with a has been made with a finger of a user or a pen. The vibration control sectionvaries the vibration pattern of the vibration sectiondepending on whether a finger or a pen is detected by the detection section
