An object of the present invention is to provide a device, a method, and a computer-readable recording medium, all of which reduce the processing load when a document is opened, and improve the operability for editing a document. A smartphone includes a touch-screen display and a controller. The controller displays a virtual keyboard and a document area which displayed an editing document inputted via the virtual keyboard, on the touch-screen display. The controller maintains displaying of the virtual keyboard while switching the editing document over from a first document to the second document, in a case in which a touch operation to switch the editing document over from the first document to the second document is performed.

Device, method, and computer-readable recording medium

According to an aspect, a mobile electronic device includes a first and a second display unit, a first and a second operation detection unit, and a control unit. The first and the second display unit display a first and second operation screen respectively. The first and the second operation detection unit detect an operation for the first and second display unit respectively. The control unit performs a switching control to switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state, a display of the second display unit is deactivated and an operation detected by the second operation detection unit is processed as an operation for the first operation screen. In the second state in, a display of the first display unit is deactivated and an operation detected by the first operation detection unit is processed as an operation for the second operation screen.

Mobile electronic device with dual touch displays and multitasking function, control method, and storage medium storing control program

According to an aspect, an electronic device includes a display unit, a detecting unit, and a control unit, and composes a mail that includes an image and a text. The display unit displays a first screen and a second screen in such a manner that the first screen and the second screen do not overlap each other. The first screen displays an overview of the mail, and the second screen edits an image or a text as an element to be added to the mail. The detecting unit detects an operation. When an operation made on the second screen is detected by the detecting unit, the control unit updates the overview of the mail that is displayed on the first screen in accordance with the operation.

Electronic device, screen control method, and storage medium storing screen control program

According to an aspect, an electronic device includes: a first housing having a first display unit; a second housing having a second display unit; a detecting unit; and a control unit. The detecting unit detects a first form in which the first display unit is exposed to the outside and the second display unit is covered by the first housing and a second form in which the first and second display units are exposed to the outside. Then the detecting unit detects a change in the form of the electronic device from the first form to the second form, the control unit activates a function corresponding to a selected object among objects displayed on the first display unit, and displays a screen corresponding to the function on the second display unit.

A mobile phone terminal (electronic device) includes a first touch panel and a second touch panel for displaying an object corresponding to an executable function and detect a touch on the object. The mobile phone terminal also includes a control unit that, in a state where the object is displayed on the first touch panel or the second touch panel, when the touch on the object is detected and then a movement of the touch is detected and if the first touch panel or the second touch panel is in a movement direction of the touch, displays a screen provided by a function corresponding to the object on the first touch panel or the second touch panel in the movement direction of the touch.

A communication terminal provides at least two modes of operation. When a first mode (child mode) is selected, predetermined functions such as search queries are restricted. In a second (normal, adult mode), a search query is transmitted from the communication terminal to an external search server that returns results of the search query to the communication terminal for display. In the first mode, the search query is not transmitted to the external search server. Instead, information associated with the search query is extracted from dictionary data that is stored in a memory within the communication terminal. The extracted data is displayed on the communication terminal as the search result. The dictionary data may include general terms and information that is biographic, geographic, pictorial, encyclopedic, etc., that is installed as an initial setting or is later downloaded with administrative permission.

Communication terminal and search method using communication terminal

According to an aspect, a mobile electronic device includes a first housing having a first display unit, a second housing having a second display unit, a form detector, and a control unit. The form detector detects a first form in which the second display unit is covered with the first housing while the first display unit is exposed to the outside and a second form in which the first display unit and the second display unit are exposed to the outside. A control unit cause objects for activating a function to be displayed on the first display unit and on the second display unit in an associated manner in conjunction with a change in form detected by the form detector.

Mobile electronic device, control method, and storage medium storing control program

Provided is a mobile electronic device capable of reflecting a user's intention. While an initial screen for waiting for an incoming-call is being displayed on an LCD display unit, a control unit performs control so that a first type character display area and a second type character display area are displayed on the LCD display unit in place of the initial screen, wherein the first type character display area is an area for, when any of first keys is depressed, displaying a first type character (for example, a number such as '1', '2', &#x201c;3&#x201d;) assigned to the depressed first key and the second type character display area is an area for displaying a second type character (for example, &#x201c;a&#x201d;, &#x201c;i&#x201d;, &#x201c;u&#x201d;, etc. in Japanese Hiragana letter) assigned to the depressed first key.
