  • Patent number: 8718235
    Abstract: To carry out processing to be executed upon occurrence of an emergency, a mobile phone includes a power control portion for supplying driving power, a RAM capable of storing data in the state where the driving power is not supplied from the power control portion, a crime prevention switch for detecting occurrence of an emergency, and a control portion which is driven by the driving power supplied from the power control portion. The control portion stores an emergency flag in an ON state indicating an emergency mode in the RAM in response to detection of the emergency by the crime prevention switch, and carries out emergency processing. When the control portion is activated as the supply of the driving power from the power control portion is started, it carries out the emergency processing if the emergency flag in the ON state is stored in the RAM.

  • Patent number: 8583095
    Abstract: A mobile telephone includes a display, a memory which stores at least an originator name associated with a telephone number or a mail address as originator information, and a display controller which controls display in notifying the arrival of an incoming telephone call or incoming electronic mail. It is determined whether the mobile telephone is moved in a preset pattern based on output from an acceleration sensor in notifying the arrival of an incoming call. In the case where the mobile telephone is moved in the preset pattern, the display controller causes the display to display an originator name from originator information.

  • Patent number: 7616261
    Abstract: A communication terminal apparatus (1) includes a first casing (41) and a second casing (42) which are foldably connected to each other and have a photographic lens (31) and a display device (18) which is visible in a same field of view as the lens. A user can photograph himself/herself while verifying his/her photographed image by means of the display device, and thus is able to gain an anticipated image composition easily, and therefore reduce unsuccessful photographs. The photographed image is displayed as a mirror image, so that the user can verify the image as if looking in to an ordinary mirror, without experiencing any awkwardness.

  • Patent number: 6836656
    Abstract: A portable telephone of the present invention comprises manual keys, a power-on time memory portion 4 for storing the power-on time being input by the manipulation of the key, a power-on time detection portion 5 for detecting whether the time stored in the power-on time memory portion 4 comes, a validation/invalidation memory portion 6 for storing the validation/invalidation of the automatic power-on function set input by the key manipulation, a main control portion 3 for turning on the power upon detecting the power-on time coming only when the validation of the automatic power-on function set is stored in the validation/invalidation memory portion 6. Accordingly, even if the user sets alarm for a plurality of times, the automatic power-on function can be cancelled by the simple manipulation, and the setting of the automatic power-on function can be returned to the original state by the simple manipulation.
