20150193112 | USER INTERFACE DEVICE, USER INTERFACE METHOD, AND PROGRAM - Display device is able to detect a proximity operation in which finger F is brought close to display surface without making contact and a contact operation in which the finger makes contact with display surface. Display device specifies a position of a finger of a user while in a stationary state above display screen as reference position BP | 07-09-2015 |
20150245297 | PORTABLE TERMINAL, TRANSITION METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A portable terminal includes a first detection unit that detects a change in a position of the portable terminal; a second detection unit that detects a change in a physical quantity representing a surrounding condition of the portable terminal; and a transition unit that causes the portable terminal to transition from a first state to a second state in which electricity consumption is smaller than that of the first state, when a relation between a direction of the change detected by the first detection unit and a trend in the change in the physical quantity detected by the second detection unit satisfies a predetermined condition. | 08-27-2015 |
20150253925 | DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD AND PROGRAM - Support information or related information regarding an input operation target is explicitly displayed when the proximity is detected before a user selects and fixes an input operation target, so as to support a user's accurate input operation, thereby improving operability. A portable terminal includes a proximity detection unit that detects a proximity of the finger to a screen, and a key image combining unit that displays enlarged images of an item displayed at a proximity correspondence position on the screen and all items adjacent to the item at the proximity correspondence position which is a position on the screen corresponding to proximity coordinates of the finger of which the proximity is detected, or in a vicinity of the proximity correspondence position, as related information or support information regarding the item displayed at the proximity correspondence position on the screen. | 09-10-2015 |
20150277661 | USER INTERFACE DEVICE, USER INTERFACE METHOD, AND PROGRAM - To suppress the occurrence of operation error with respect to a user operation for indicating an object on a display surface. | 10-01-2015 |
20150277760 | TERMINAL DEVICE, SCREEN DISPLAY METHOD, HOVER POSITION CORRECTION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A terminal device is provided which is capable of making a key display with which a user makes an input easily. A hover position detection unit measures a distribution of a physical quantity indicating a degree of approach of an operation finger to a touch panel, and detects a hover position from the distribution of the physical quantity. A target key identification unit identifies, as a target key, a key corresponding to a display region including coordinates of the hover position. A user assistance display control unit generates a display control signal indicating that an assistance display that represents the target key is to be displayed at a different position from a display position of the target key. A display makes a screen display in accordance with the display control signal. | 10-01-2015 |
