An electronic apparatus that selectively uses as a power source one of a battery and an external power source to be powered therefrom, the electronic apparatus includes: a charging unit that charges the battery through the external power source; a power status determining unit that determines whether the external power source can drive the electronic apparatus; a history storage unit that stores a history of determination results of the power status determining unit; and a charging control unit that sets, to a maximum capacity of the battery, an upper limit of battery remaining power if the history indicates that the external power source can not drive for at least part of a specific past period, or sets the upper limit to a given value lower than the maximum capacity if the history indicates that the external power source can drive throughout the specific past period.

Electronic apparatus, and charging control method

A control unit changes a display orientation of a display screen according to a tilt direction of a display unit when a display orientation detection unit detects the display orientation of the display screen coincides with, among orientations in which the display screen is allowed to be displayed, an orientation closest to a vertical downward direction in a state where the detected display orientation of the display screen is not changed according to the tilt direction of the display unit. The display orientation detection unit detects the display orientation of the display screen displayed on the display unit. A tilt detection unit detects the tilt direction of the display unit, which displays information, in relation to the vertical downward direction.

Electronic apparatus, control program, and control method

In an electronic device, a control unit determines a state of changes of tilt angles detected by a tilt sensor, modifies at least one of control information stored in a control information storage unit, and a tilt direction and tilt angle detected by the tilt sensor, depending on the determined state of the changes, and changes the display orientation of a display unit on the basis of the modification result. The tilt sensor detects the tilt direction and tilt angle of the display unit with respect to the vertical downward direction. The control information storage unit stores the control information indicating correlations between display orientations of the display unit and tilts of the own device. A detected tilt data storage unit stores detected tilt data indicating a history of tilt directions and tilt angles detected by the tilt sensor.

Display orientation control method and electronic device

An input personal identification number (PIN) is encrypted, identification information to identify a computer that has generated an encrypted PIN is associated with the encrypted PIN, and the associated information is sent to a recording medium. When the recording medium is again connected to the computer, it is checked whether the identification information is present in the recording medium. If the identification information is present in the recording medium, the encrypted PIN associated with the identification information is decrypted. These processes can be performed on both computer side and recording medium side.

Access authentication method, information processing unit, and computer product

There is provided a terminal automatically executing access processing to a URL registered in advance on a network in response to the cancellation operation of the power saving mode. This enables to execute accessing the predetermined URL on the network only by the cancellation operation of the power saving mode without need of an extra operation for the processing. Also, in a terminal having a folding mechanism, predetermined processing is automatically executed in response to the open motion from the closed condition. This enables to execute the predetermined processing only by the open motion without need of an extra operation for the processing. Thus operability of the terminal is improve, and as a result, convenience for the user is improved.

The operating state of a computer is switched only when moving of the computer is detected. An information processing device has a detection unit, which detects, as a lifting action, a fact that an accelerated velocity has been kept applied in one direction for a given period of time, and a control unit, which executes a predetermined control operation that is associated with the lifting action detected by the detection unit. A lifting action detecting method has a detection step of detecting, as a lifting action, the fact that an accelerated velocity has been kept applied in one direction for a given period of time, and a control step of executing a predetermined control operation that is associated with the lifting action detected in the detection step.

An occupancy state of access to a predetermined device when lock processing is to be executed is detected, and whether the lock processing is to be stopped is decided based on the result of the detection.

In a software processing apparatus, an operating environment determining unit determines whether an operating environment requires power saving or not at the time of executing a process such as an animation displaying process, and a switching unit performs a simplified process of light load by making a part of the functions of software valid in the environment requiring power saving, and executes a process of heavy load in which all of the functions of the software are valid in the environment which does not require power saving.
