  • Patent number: 7801730
    Abstract: A voice recognition control system capable of realizing control of entire voice-recognizable electronic devices through voice recognition. This control system includes a voice input unit for inputting an operator's voice, a voice recognition unit and a controller constituting a control means which recognizes the operator's voice obtained from the voice input unit and controls input/output of an MD player having a voice recognition table where the operator's voice is stored in advance as an expected value. When an unregistered MD player has been connected first, the voice recognition unit registers the voice recognition table provided from the MD player. And upon input of the operator's voice by the voice input unit, the control means compares the operator's voice with the preregistered voice recognition table, and then the controller controls the input/output of the MD player in accordance with the result of comparing the operator's voice with the voice recognition table.

  • Patent number: 6973327
    Abstract: An IC chip with IC card functions, a contactless IC card antenna, and an antenna connection circuit for connecting the IC chip and the contactless IC card antenna are provided on a mount board, and are combined to form a communication module, thereby making the communication module smaller. The communication module can be mounted on and removed from a mobile phone, thereby making it possible to downsize the mobile phone. Also, because the IC card antenna projects from a rear surface of a chassis of the mobile phone, the distance between the IC card antenna and the LCD panel or the ear receiver can be extended by the amount by which the contactless IC card antenna projects from the rear surface of the chassis, and thus the thickness of the chassis of the mobile phone can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 6729550
    Abstract: A password corresponding to an IC card or a service is stored or registered in a terminal apparatus provided with a preferably contactless IC card section having a read/write function. A password is inputted before utilizing the IC card function. The IC card function, which is disabled for utilization under other conditions, is enabled for utilization during a period of time only when the inputted password matches the registered password, thus even when the device is lost or stolen, others cannot have access to the services available for the apparatus without authentication.
