  • Patent number: 6996423
    Abstract: The disclosed invention provides a portable information terminal making it possible to easily transmit a plurality of kinds of information. The portable information terminal allows its user to select information categories to transmit from items stored as personal and/or schedule information in its memory. The selected categories are associated with one of data class of business use, private use, and the like. When the user selects the name and instructs the terminal to transmit, the terminal reads the information belonging to selected categories of the data class from the memory and transmits them, according to the specified transmission distance or destinations.

  • Publication number: 20050287953
    Abstract: A mobile telephone in which a camera portion is rotatably provided in a coupling portion for rotatably coupling a first casing and a second casing to each other, and a main display part and a manipulating part are provided in a casing surface and is hidden when the first and second casings are closed relative to each other. A sub-display part and an image pick-up button are provided in a surface of the first casing and are always exposed. A switch is provided for changing over the display condition of the sub-display part between a camera mode and an equipment status display mode, whereby the image pick-up by the camera portion can be simply carried out with no affect resulting from any folding motion of the casings.

  • Publication number: 20050190291
    Abstract: A slide type portable data unit which has satisfactory interior mounting efficiency, having a first casing, a second casing and a slide mechanism portion connecting the first casing and the second casing so that the two casings are slidable in one direction, wherein the slide mechanism portion connects the first casing and the second casing so that the first casing and the second casing have a fore-and-aft relationship, and are taken in a first condition in which the second casing is superposed with the first casing, and in a second condition in which the two casings are displaced from each other in the one direction, and the first casing has one end part, in the one direction, which is not superposed with the second casing in the first condition, and a camera portion is incorporated in this part which is not superposed.

  • Patent number: 6930667
    Abstract: A liquid crystal panel driving method is provided for optimizing driving conditions by performing temperature compensation without varying the voltage of a driving signal. In the liquid crystal device, based on a temperature detection result by the temperature sensor, a temperature compensating circuit sets the frame frequency of driving signals output from driving circuits to a liquid crystal panel at a low temperature, thereby performing temperature compensation so that the liquid crystal device is operated under a condition in which the dielectric anisotropy of the liquid crystal is substantially flat. In accordance with the fact that the motion of the liquid crystal molecules becomes active at a high temperature, the temperature compensating circuit sets the frame frequency of the driving signals to be high. Concerning the frame frequency, 50 Hz (or 60 Hz) and an integer multiple of that frequency are avoided.

  • Publication number: 20050139850
    Abstract: A light-emitting unit containing a substrate and light emitting diodes (LEDs) is housed inside a casing constituted by a first member and a second member which are joined together. The second member has a projecting piece which is inserted to the first member, and inside the projecting piece a passage is formed. When silicone is injected through an injection opening from an injector, the silicone starting from the projecting piece flows through in the order of the passage, first-member side space, connecting passage and second-member side space and it finally overflows from a discharge opening. By implementing this structure and process, the air or air bubbles inside the light-emitting unit is pushed outside completely.

  • Publication number: 20050062880
    Abstract: A video camera is disclosed which can make photographing without any compulsion. A rotary grip is provided on a side face of a camera body so as to be rotatable relative to the camera body, the camera body having an image pickup device, a camera lens and a circuit board of various circuits. A hand strap is attached to the rotary grip. For carrying the video camera, the fingers other than the thumb of one hand are inserted between the rotary grip and the hand strap so that the tips thereof are caught on a peripheral surface of the rotary grip. A liquid crystal display monitor and an operating unit are integral with the peripheral surface of the rotary grip, and when the rotary grip is rotated relative to the camera body unit, the hand strap, as well as the liquid crystal display monitor and the operating unit, also rotate.

  • Publication number: 20050052837
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a slide type portable information terminal having a favorable internal packaging efficiency and a compact shape. A first body and a second body, each having a wedge shaped outer appearance, where a dimension in the depth direction gradually becomes thinner from one side to the other side in the width direction, are slidably coupled via a slide mechanism to constitute a body. As for the body, when the first body and the second body are overlapped, a part of the second body having the thickest dimension in the depth direction is arranged on one side of the front surface of the first body, as well as a part of the first body having the thickest dimension in the depth direction is arranged on one side of the rear of the second body, and a camera unit is arranged in the portion with thickest dimension in the depth direction of the first body.
