Abstract: A remote control device includes a flat, plate-like display to display a state of settings of the air-conditioning apparatus or a control command; a touch panel provided on or under the display to receive input of a control command for the air-conditioning apparatus through detection of a change in an electric signal, the change occurring when a display position of the display is touched; a transmitter to transmit to the air-conditioning apparatus a signal of the control command input through the touch panel; and a start/stop button provided at a position different from the touch panel and configured to trigger start of operation of or stop of operation of the air-conditioning apparatus.

Abstract: A remote control device includes a display unit configured to display various screens including at least one main screen indicating an operating state of an apparatus to be operated, a touch panel disposed over the display unit, and a controller configured to cause at least one custom button to be displayed on the main screen along with the operating state. The custom button is assigned with one of a plurality of functions of the apparatus in accordance with a user operation.

Abstract: In an outdoor unit, at least the name of a refrigerant used is indicated on the outer side of a cover.

Abstract: A switching system (3) has, in addition to an ordinary accounting function, an origination-only accounting control unit 6 to monitor the number of message units used by an origination-only portable telephone (1B) identified by a terminal identification number and to deny the origination of a call by the origination-only portable telephone (1B) upon the increase of the number of used message units to a predetermined number. The origination-only accounting control unit (6) accepts the origination of a call made by the origination-only portable telephone (1B) when a prescribed input about the origination-only portable telephone (1B) is given thereto by a system operator by operating a predetermined terminal device (7) or the like after the denial of origination of a call by the origination-only portable telephone (1B).

Abstract: In a unit body of a portable information terminal is assembled a display and a pressure-sensitive input device overlying the display. An opening and closing cover is attached to the unit body for covering the pressure-sensitive input device. An operating button device provided in the cover exposes, when the cover is closed, its operating surface from the surface of the cover. The operating button device exerts a pressing force applied to the operating surface onto the surface of the pressure-sensitive input device. Thus, with the cover closed, major function entry or data entry can be carried out.
