  • Publication number: 20120179522
    Abstract: A server of an advertisement distribution system allows downloading of content data in response to a request of a terminal and makes the terminal periodically download shared content managing information. Then, when the server recognizes that the content data stored in a server storage before the server storage goes out of order has to be stored in a new server storage (restoration process), the server makes the terminal upload the shared content managing information and acquires from the terminal the content data specified by the shared content managing information to store the content data in the new server storage.

  • Publication number: 20070254268
    Abstract: A basic control process is performed on a mobile phone. From the basic control process, various processes are branched and performed, such as a normal standby process, unread mail reading standby process, and Braille pattern data generation process. In each of the processes, each of the Braille pins of a Braille display device provided for the mobile phone is raised, as occasion demands, by drive-control performed by a Braille driving device, and for example, the content of an unread mail, the content of a creating email, and a phone number in a phone call or the like on the mobile phone are displayed as a Braille pattern. The raising direction of the Braille pins is set on the rear surface different from the operation surface of the mobile phone. Thus, while holding the mobile phone in one hand, a user can perform the operation related to the phone call or email and can quickly and accurately perceive or sense various text information displayed in Braille.

  • Patent number: 6918289
    Abstract: An air pressure information display device of a vehicle tire has a normal air pressure storage module (10a) for storing a normal air pressure of a tire corresponding to a tire temperature, an excessive/deficient amount detection module (10b) for detecting the excessive/deficient amount from the normal air pressure on the basis of the stored normal air pressure, and air pressure information detected by an air pressure information detection module (6-9), and a display control module (10c) for controlling a display (11) to display the detected excessive/deficient amount. Hence, since the user is informed of the excessive/deficient amount from the normal air pressure, he or she can appropriately determine an air pressure state of a tire even when he or she does not recognize the normal air pressure.

  • Patent number: 6008722
    Abstract: An anti-vehicle-thief apparatus registers specific ID codes of a plurality of keys, and determines validity of a key, for example, in accordance with an operation of the key 1 including a transponder having one of the registered specific ID codes. The anti-vehicle-thief apparatus registers a code specific to the key and confirms an operation in which an ignition switch is turned on and off five times by using the key, where this operation is for changing the ID codes specific to the plurality of keys registered in EEPROMs. After the confirmation of the operation, ID codes specific to a plurality of new keys are successively registered, thereby preventing a third person from using the old keys, as well as making registration of the ID codes specific to the new keys easily.
