Information processing apparatus and control method

An information processing apparatus includes a display, a memory that temporarily stores display data to be displayed on the display, and a processor that performs control when the display data stored in the memory is displayed on the display. The processor performs a display mode switching process of switching between a first display mode in which display is controlled by using an entire screen area of the display as a display area, and a second display mode in which display is controlled by using a part of the screen area as the display area, and a display control process of, in a case in which the first display mode and the second display mode are switched by the display mode switching process, changing a display magnification to a display magnification individually set for each of the first display mode and the second display mode.

An information processing apparatus switches between a first display mode for one display area and a second display mode for first and second display areas, and when switching from the first display mode to the second display mode is performed, displays a first window having a highest display priority of applications being executed in the first display mode, in the first display area and displays a thumbnail image corresponding to a second window other than the first window, in the second display area. In addition, in a case in which all the windows of the applications being executed are hidden in the first display mode before the switching to the second display mode, the information processing apparatus displays the window of any of the applications being executed, in the first display area when the switching to the second display mode is performed.

An information processing device comprising: a first chassis and a second chassis connected to be rotatable relative to each other; a foldable one display provided over the first chassis and the second chassis; a memory; and a processor. The processor performs: orientation detection processing to detect an orientation of a screen area of the display; display control processing to change a display orientation in the screen area according to the orientation of the screen area detected by the orientation detection processing; connection detection processing to detect mounting of an external keyboard on a surface of the second chassis with the display provided thereon, and display mode switching processing to, when the mounting of the keyboard is detected by the connection detection processing, control a display area of the screen area to be in a preset display orientation regardless of the orientation of the screen area.

Information processing device and control method

An information processing apparatus includes a display, a memory that stores display data to be displayed on the display, and a processor that controls the stored display data. The processor is configured to switch the display between a first display mode in which an entire screen area of the display is used as a display area and a second display mode in which the entire screen area is divided into a plurality of areas, to select a screen on which any display mode of the first display mode and the second display mode is selectable by an operation of a user, and to control the selection screen to be hidden after a predetermined time elapses since the operation of the user to select the display mode is performed on the selection screen, and to change a setting of the predetermined time based on a predetermined condition.

Information processing apparatus with two display modes and control method thereof

An information processing apparatus includes: a memory that temporarily stores a program of operating system (OS); and a processor capable of supplying imaging data captured by an imaging unit based on the program of OS to only one of applications running on the OS, and of performing image processing on the imaging data based on an image processing program running on the OS. The processor is configured to when the imaging data is supplied to a first application, pass setting parameters used for the image processing from a second application other than the first application to the image processing via a registry of the OS.

An information processing apparatus has a first display mode in which the entire screen region of a display is controlled to be displayed as a display region, and a second display mode in which a partial screen region excluding the predetermined screen region in the screen region of the display is controlled to be displayed as a display region, and performs a placement detection process of detecting placement of an external keyboard on the predetermined screen region in the screen region of the display, a communication control process of performing a communicative connection with the keyboard, and a display mode control process of controlling switching between the first display mode and the second display mode on the basis of the placement detection process and the communication control process.

An information processing apparatus includes one foldable display having a first display mode in which the entire screen region is displayed and a second display mode in which a partial screen region excluding a predetermined screen region is displayed; determines whether an external keyboard is placed on the predetermined screen region; controls, in a first operation state, a first display mode where the keyboard is not placed and a second display mode where the keyboard is placed; and when a state is switched from the first operation state to a second operation state in which processing executed by the system is restricted more than in the first operation state, selects and controls a display mode when a next state is switched from the second operation state to the first operation state, and a previous display mode.

An information processing device includes: a foldable one display; a memory which stores at least a program; and a processor. By executing the program stored in the memory, the processor performs display mode switching processing to switch among a first display mode to control display in such a manner that a screen area of the display is set as one display area, a second display mode to control display in such a manner that the screen area of the display is split into two display areas of a first display area and a second display area with the first display area set as a primary screen and the second display area set as a secondary screen, and a third display mode to control display in such a manner that the second display area is set as the primary screen and the first display area is set as the secondary screen.

Information processing device and control method for foldable displays

An information processing device includes: a first chassis and a second chassis connected to be rotatable relative to each other; a foldable one display provided over the first chassis and the second chassis; a camera provided in the first chassis; a memory which stores at least a program; and a processor which executes the program. By executing the program stored in the memory, the processor performs: display mode switching processing to switch between a first display mode in which display is controlled by setting a screen area of the display as one display area, and a second display mode in which display is controlled by splitting the screen area of the display into two display areas of a first display area corresponding to the first chassis and a second display area corresponding to the second chassis, orientation detection processing to detect an orientation of the screen area.
