Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated programmer for actuating a sequence of keys on a handset of a cellular telephone, as required by manufacturer instructions, to initialize the telephone for operation in a cellular system. The programmer comprises a pair of pusher members for actuating the keys on the keypad, and a holder for securing the handset above the pusher members. The holder is adjustable in three dimensions to allow securing of handsets of various shapes and sizes. Also, each pusher member is controlled by a driver, which can move the pusher member to any location within a three dimensional space. This allows the programmer to actuate the keys on different cellular telephones having a variety of handset shapes and sizes, and a variety of keypad configurations. Two pushers are provided to allow the programmer to depress two keys simultaneously, as required by some cellular telephones.

Abstract: In the interlocking mode, the color of the color data is converted into a brightness value by a brightness converting circuit in accordance with the value of each of R, G, B of the color data written into each color register of RAMDAC. Gradation data to be written into each register of the flat palette table is formed from the brightness value. In the non-interlocking mode, an optional gradation data irrelevant to the color data of the RAMDAC is written into each register of the flat palette table. By the switching between interlocking and non-interlocking modes, selection can be made between the monochrome gradation display which faithfully reproduces the color display screen of a CRT display and the monochrome display of an optional gradation irrelevant to the color display screen.
