An information processing apparatus includes a display panel, a frame, a touch sensor, and a controller. The display panel includes a display surface of a predetermined display area. The frame includes a frame surface that surrounds the display panel and determines the display area. The touch sensor is configured to detect touches to the display surface and the frame surface. The controller is configured to execute predetermined processing when a touch to a first area on the display surface is detected, and to execute the predetermined processing when a touch to a second area on the frame surface is detected, the second area being adjacent to the first area.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a case which is provided with an opening. Two or more functional units are allocated to the opening.

Information processing apparatus

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a first member and a second member which are connected by rotation mechanisms. The rotation mechanisms each have a compression spring which expands and contracts along an axial direction of a rotation shaft serving as a center of a rotation, a cam which is rotated by the compression member and generate torque which rotates the first member and the second member, and a damper which generates a load to the torque generated by the cam according to a rotation speed of the rotation shaft. A pressure angle of the cam is set in such a manner that a ratio in which a return force of the compression spring is converted to force which rotates the cam as the compression spring is further compressed is reduced.

Disclosed herein is an electronic apparatus, including: a base chassis formed as a unitary member from a transparent material and having two faces positioned on the opposite sides to each other and individually formed as a first mounting face section and a second mounting face section; a display unit having a display panel thereon and attached to said first mounting face section of said base chassis; a control circuit board attached to said second mounting face section of said base chassis; and a rear cover attached to said second mounting face section of said base chassis and configured to cover said control circuit board.

Electronic apparatus emitting light through a unitary transparent base chassis

An electronic apparatus includes a base body that is made of a resin and includes two first side surfaces and two second side surfaces, two first exterior members that are each made of metal and respectively cover the two first side surfaces, a second exterior member that is made of metal and adhered to one of the second side surfaces, a plurality of dowel pins provided to the two first exterior members, a plurality of dowel hole portions that are capable of receiving the plurality of dowel pins, respectively, a plurality of held portions provided on a surface of the second exterior member, in correspondence with the plurality of dowel hole portions, and a plurality of elastic holders that are provided on the one of the second side surfaces of the base body and capable of holding and elastically supporting the plurality of held portions, respectively.

Electronic apparatus and electronic apparatus manufacturing method

A pivoting mechanism for a stand which is supported for pivotal motion on a rear face of an apparatus body, which includes a body side secured member secured to the apparatus body, a pair of stand side secured members secured to the stand, a pair of pivot shafts configured to connect the body side secured section and the pair of stand side secured members to each other and serving as a fulcrum for the pivotal motion of the stand with respect to the apparatus body, a spring member configured to provide pivoting force to the stand in a direction in which an end portion of the stand approaches a lower end portion of the apparatus body, and a pivoting angle changing lever configured to change the pivotal motion permitting angle of the stand with respect to the apparatus body in response to an operation position thereof.
