Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for ultrasonic fingerprint sensors that are able to be used to detect fingerprints from opposing sides of an apparatus, e.g., a smartphone with screens on both sides of the housing. Some implementations of such sensors may include, for example, two piezoelectric and sensor pixel layer assemblies coupled to a common controller. Other implementations of such sensors may include, for example, a single piezoelectric and sensor pixel assembly coupled with a controller configured to apply a range-gate delay to obtain fingerprint scans from either opposing side of an apparatus. Yet further implementations of such sensors may include acoustic masking layers to spatially filter ultrasonic waves propagating to either side of an apparatus.

An electronic device includes a hinge configured to foldably connect a first housing to a second housing; a display including a first display area disposed on the first housing, and a second display area and a third display area arranged on the second housing; and at least one processor configured to: in a first state in which the hinge is unfolded, display a first application in the first display area and the second display area, and display, in the third display area, at least one default button, in a second state in which the hinge is folded, control the display to display a panel button, in the third display area, and based on a selection of the panel button in the second state, display the first application in the first display area, and display, in the second display area, a first panel including at least one control button and at least one system button.

A computing device is described that receives input from a distressed user that indicates the user is in a state of distress. The computing device references a profiles database that stores attribute information that indicates preferred attributes of a potential responder. The communication is sent to a plurality of responding devices and includes an alert indication, at some of the preferred attributes, and a location of the first computing device. Incident to sending the alert, the computing device receives an acknowledgement that indicates that at least one responsive computing device received the alert, which is associated with a responsive user who has attributes matching the preferred attributes. Presenting a map on the computing device that is useable to help locate the first computing device.

[Problem] To propose an application corresponding to a situation of each user and improve user convenience in starting use of the application. [Solution] Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a display control unit configured to display, on a display screen, execution information related to execution of at least one application specified on the basis of a predetermined determination result; and a processing control unit configured to execute first processing in a case where the at least one application is specified, and execute second processing on the basis of a response of a user to the displayed execution information.

Disclosed is a vehicular electronic device including a processor configured to receive information on a user gaze direction, to determine whether a user looks forward based on the information, to perform control to make a call using voice only upon determining that the user looks forward, and to perform control to make a call using voice and an image upon determining that the user does not look forward.

A display apparatus includes a display area and a folding area; a display panel; a digitizer disposed below the display panel; a sagging prevention member disposed in a portion below the display panel overlapping the folding area; and a lower cover disposed below the sagging prevention member.

A display control device includes an incoming call detection unit and a display control unit that controls a display by providing a first display area and a second display area on a touch panel, and when the incoming call is detected, the display control unit displays an answer button and an ignore button of the incoming call in the second display area and sets at least one of starting buttons displayed in the first display area to an inoperable state.

A method for browsing an application folder includes detecting a first touch operation on a touchscreen of an electronic device, in response to the first touch operation, displaying a first user interface, where the first user interface is a setting screen of a first application program, where the first user interface includes a folder control, detecting a second touch operation on the folder control, and in response to the second touch operation, displaying a second user interface on the touchscreen, where the second user interface is a content details screen of the folder corresponding to the first application program.

A mobile device can be used to control a computing device different from the mobile device. The mobile device includes a processor configured to receive user input through a graphical user interface (GUI) of the mobile device. The processor can be configured to generate the GUI after detecting a magnetic field generated by a wireless power transmitter. The GUI includes a simulated button and/or an interface configured to receive tactile input indicative of spatial information. The processor is configured to provide information indicative of user input to the computing device to control the computing device.

In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-implemented method is performed at a portable multifunction device with a touch screen display. The computer-implemented method includes: displaying a home menu comprising a plurality of application launch icons; detecting activation of any respective application launch icon; and, in response to detecting the activation, displaying a first animation of a transition from display of the home menu to display of an application that corresponds to the activated application launch icon. The first animation comprises expanding an image of the application.
