An electronic device includes: a housing; a sensor provided on an inner surface of the housing and configured to detect deformation of the housing; and a control unit configured to control an operation of the electronic device on the basis of a detection result of the sensor. The sensor has a first sensing unit configured to detect a prescribed user operation and a second sensing unit configured to compensate for a malfunction.

Sensor and electronic device

An input apparatus including a deformable sheet-like operational member having a plurality of key areas.

Deformable keyboard with adjustable layout

A display control device includes a cabinet, a detection unit configured to detect an orientation of the cabinet, a display screen, and a display control unit configured to control display of the display screen in accordance with the orientation of the cabinet detected by the detection unit.

Display control device, display control method, and program

A protective cover includes an input operating unit and a cover unit. Through the input operating unit, an input operation to an electronic apparatus is performed. In the cover unit, the input operating unit is disposed. In the protective cover, the cover unit includes a folding section and two plate sections connected to the folding section. A connection terminal section is provided to which the electronic apparatus is connected. A wiring section which interconnects the input operating unit and the connection terminal section and which is bent attendantly on folding at the folding section is disposed inside the cover unit. Folding at the folding section into a predetermined shape enables setting of a cover mode in which the electronic apparatus is covered.

Protective cover and information processor

An information processing system includes an electronic pen, a position detection unit configured to detect the position of a pen tip of the electronic pen and to acquire positional information indicating the position of the pen tip of the electronic pen, a modification ID storage unit configured to store a modification ID for identifying modification of the position indicated by the positional information, a modification ID updating unit configured to update the modification ID, and a reception device including a storage unit and a registration processing unit configured to register the modification ID stored by the modification ID storage unit and the positional information acquired by the position detection unit in the storage unit as associated information.

Information processing system and electronic pen

Disclosed herein is a keyboard, including: a membrane switch having contacts disposed at positions thereof corresponding to keys; a spacer member provided on the membrane switch and having openings at least at portions thereof corresponding to the keys; a resilient member provided on the spacer member and spaced from and opposed to the membrane switch through the openings; and a key member provided at a portion of the resilient member which corresponds to each of the keys.

Keyboard and electronic apparatus

A keyboard includes a plurality of key row holders each supporting a plurality of key elements constituting each of the plurality of key rows, a support shaft placed to be rotatable about an axial center and support the plurality of key row holders arranged to intersect the axial center, an engaging portion formed on a support surface of each of the plurality of key row holders for the support shaft, and an engaged portion formed spirally on a surface of the support shaft in a direction of the axial center so as to be engaged with the engaging portion of each of the plurality of key row holders, the engaged portion causing the plurality of key row holders to shift in the direction of the axial center by an engagement with the engaging portion upon rotation of the support shaft. The keyboard enables easy and accurate key pitch adjustment.

Keyboard and electronic equipment

An input device for applying a signal depending on a user-operated key to an information processing device is disclosed which includes a plurality of keys including a function-key pad and a ten-key pad; and a communication section for transmitting data to and from a non-contact IC or a device equivalent to a non-contact IC; the communication section having an antenna housed in the input device and disposed above the ten-key pad and rightward of the function-key pad.

Input device

An input device for applying a signal depending on a user-operated key to an information processing device is disclosed which includes a plurality of keys including a function-key pad and a ten-key pad; and a communication section for transmitting data to and from a non-contact IC card or a device equivalent to a non-contact IC card; the communication section having an antenna housed in the input device and disposed above the ten-key pad and rightward of the function-key pad.
