Abstract: A touch panel to detect a coordinate of an arbitrary position where pressure is applied. The touch panel includes a substrate, a resistor layer provided on the substrate, a spacer layer made of an insulator material, a conductor layer confronting the resistor layer via the spacer layer, a plurality of point electrodes provided on the resistor layer at a peripheral part of the resistor layer along each side of the resistor layer, and a plurality of switching elements provided above the substrate and electrically coupled to the point electrodes for supplying a voltage to the point electrodes. The spacer layer is made up of a plurality of spacer pieces which are arranged so that an electrical contact is made between the conductor layer and the resistor layer when a pressure is applied at an arbitrary position on the conductor layer.

Abstract: In a radio telephone system and a call charging method used in the radio telephone system, when a user of a radio telephone issues a telephone call to a public telephone network by utilizing a radio controller installed in a PBX employed on the premises of a company to which the telephone user does not belong, the PBX reports both terminal number information of the radio telephone and call account information for charging the call account to the terminal to the public telephone network. When the information is received, the public telephone network charges the call account to the radio telephone. If the information is not transmitted from the PBX to the public telephone network, the call account is charged to the call originating line of the PBX.
