Provided are an electronic device wherein an application can be started up easily using text and so forth displayed in a display unit, and a method of controlling same. A start-up unit uses inputted text to start up an application which executes various functions. If text being displayed on the display unit has been selected as a result of a detection unit detecting that contact has been made to a region in which any of the text characters of the same text is displayed, an application control unit causes the display unit to display an application start-up display to which an application is associated.

Electronic device and method of controlling same

According to an aspect, a mobile electronic includes a first display unit, a second display unit, an input unit, and a control unit. The first display unit displays a first image. The second display unit displays a second image. To the input unit, an instruction is input. The control unit causes the second display unit to display the first image, as the second image, when a first period of time has passed since the first image is displayed by the first display unit.

Mobile electronic device

Provided is an electronic device which easily selects and executes an application relating to characters inputted by a user. A cellular phone is provided with a display unit which displays a character input screen, an operation unit for inputting characters to be displayed on the character input screen, and a control unit which controls the display unit to display a candidate for conversion or a predicted candidate of the characters inputted using the operation unit. The control unit displays the name of an application or the name of a processing in the application as the candidate for conversion or a predicted candidate, and when either name is selected, executes the processing of the application corresponding to the selected name.
