Title:
INFORMATION PROCESSOR AND ROTATION CONTROL DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004246497
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To adjust the frictional resistance in opening and closing of the cover of an input device by a user.

The information processor comprises the input device for accepting an input from the user, and a cover part openably and closably connected to the input device to shield at least a part of the input device in a closed state. In the information processor, there are provided a hinge part for connecting the input device to the cover part openably and closably by rotating the input device to a predetermined rotating axis, a frictional resistance keeping part for keeping the frictional resistance between the input device and the cover part at the hinge part in order to keep the angle to the input device, an operation part for accepting a reduction instruction for reducing the frictional resistance from the user, and a frictional resistance reduction part for reducing the frictional resistance at the hinge part when a reduction instruction is accepted.
