Embodiment Construction

[0030] Hereinafter, specific embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0031] FIG. 1 shows an overview of a portable information processing device as one embodiment of the present invention. This portable information processing device 10 is, for example, an IC (Integrated Circuit: Integrated Circuit) card of the same size as a credit card, etc., and a plurality (four in the case of FIG. to 11-D and a color display 12 for displaying prescribed information.

[0032] Here, as shown in FIG. 1, in the case of the portable information processing device 10, since the surface area of ​​the device is limited, a color display 12 is provided in addition to the dye-sensitized solar battery cells 11-A to 11-D. In this case, it is difficult to separately provide keys for the user interface and the like. In particular, it is conceivable that the above-mentioned trend will become more prominent in the future, if one l...

Abstract

The invention provides an information processing apparatus and an information processing method, and program. Power generation elements using colorable solar cell of dye sensitization type as representation is used as user interface, to save space and increase operationality. The colorable solar cells of dye sensitization type (11-A to 11-D) not only convert the irradiating light into electric power, but also are used as user interfac respectively colored by blue, red, green or yellow to give play to function. More specifically, when one of the colorable solar cells of dye sensitization type (11-A to 11-D) colored with different colors is covered by the fingers of user, the said solar cell is used as user selecting operation and performs detecting, to perform treatment corresponding with operation. The invention is applicable to all electronic means with power generation device using solar cell as represention.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program, and particularly relates to an information processing device that can use a power generating element such as a dye-sensitized solar cell that can be colored not only as a power source but also as a user interface. A device, an information processing method, and a program. Background technique [0002] When a user interface such as an operation button is provided in an electronic device, it will be easy for the user to operate if the operation button has one meaning in one-to-one correspondence between the button and the command. [0003] In addition, if the operation buttons are colored in different colors, the operability can be expected to be improved. [0004] However, giving the operation buttons one meaning has a problem that, as the number of operation buttons increases, it is disadvantageous to miniaturize the electronic device, o...
