INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND SWITCHING DEVICE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An information processing device, comprising:
- a touchscreen that includes a first surface that outputs images and detects an input to the first surface;
a sensor that detects whether a switching device is mounted on the touchscreen; and
processing circuitry configured to control a display state of the touchscreen based on a detection result of the sensor so thatthe touchscreen outputs in a first display mode when the switching device is not mounted on the touchscreen, andthe touchscreen outputs in a second display mode when the switching device is mounted on the touchscreen.

Abstract
An information processing device includes a touchscreen that includes a first surface that outputs images and detects an input to the first surface, a sensor that detects whether a switching device is mounted an the touchscreen, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to control a display state of the touchscreen based on a detection result of the sensor so that the touchscreen outputs in a first display mode when the switching device is not mounted on the touchscreen, and the touchscreen outputs in a second display mode when the switching device is mounted on the touchscreen.

10. A switching device, comprising;
-
a mechanically depressible switch; and a pin configured for mounting the switching device onto a touchscreen of an information processing device, wherein the switching device outputs a detectable change to the touchscreen in response to each depression of the mechanically depressible switch. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method, comprising:
-
detecting, by a senor of an information processing device, whether a switching device is mounted onto a touchscreen of the information processing device; controlling, by processing circuitry of the information processing device when a detection result of the sensor indicates that the switching device is not mounted on the touchscreen, the touchscreen to output images in a first display mode; and controlling, by the processing circuitry when the detection result of the sensor indicates that the switching device is mounted on the touchscreen, the touchscreen to output the images in a second display mode. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
