Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic apparatus having a superiority in a selecting operation to an object. When contents of documents having a plurality of objects are displayed, a default focus is automatically given to one object located near to a display center by a focus control program. When the display is scrolled by cursor keys of a remote controller, objects to be given the focus are sequentially changed in conjunction with the scroll.

Abstract: A navigation apparatus displays navigation information generated based on map information. The apparatus includes a positional information acquiring section for acquiring positional information, a storage section storing two-dimensional map data, three-dimensional graphic data, and node-based altitude data of recorded altitude data of nodes which are set on a link used as a route, a data processor generating and outputting three-dimensional display information for a guidance region by receiving the positional information acquired by the positional information acquiring section, and acquiring data from the storage section based on the received positional information, and a display device displaying the information output from the data processor. The data processor calculates the altitudes of points on the route based on the node-based altitude data, and generates and outputs, to the display device, three-dimensional route information in which data of the calculated altitudes is set as a parameter.

Abstract: Map data are managed by use of map file names representing given areas. In each map file name, the first character denotes a map structure code; the second character represents a zoom level for a zoom-in or zoom-out operation of the map on display; and the third through the fifth character stand for an X-direction unit code and the sixth through the eighth character for a Y-direction unit code, indicating where the map in question is located on the same zoom level. The eight-byte file name plus a three-byte extension constitutes each map file name. Furthermore, map data are managed by use of floor file names representing floors in buildings.

Abstract: A positioning information transmitting device for transmitting the current site data to a peripheral device(s) using wireless signals. The current side data, as the positioning information of the current site, calculated by a portable telephone signal positioning processor 20 or a GPS unit 30, is transmitted to a CPU 12 through an interfacing (I/F) unit 11. The positioning information transmitting device 10 includes a local wireless communication unit 40 for transmitting/receiving data to or from the peripheral device(s). The current side data is transmitted from a CPU 12 through a communication controller 13 so as to be processed by a baseband processor 41 of the local wireless communication unit 40. The so processed data is superposed by an RF processor 41 on a carrier wave so as to be transmitted over a wireless path to a peripheral device(s) from a local wireless communication antenna 43.

Abstract: A display mode switching function unit recognizes one-click or double-click of an operating dial and switches a menu mode display image, an [H Scroll] mode display image, a [V Scroll] display image and a [Zoom] mode display image. When the [H Scroll] mode display image is displayed, an image display control function unit recognizes clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the operating dial and causes a map image to be scrolled right or left. When the [V Scroll] mode display image is displayed, the image display control function unit recognizes clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the operating dial and causes a map image to be scrolled up or down. When the [Zoom] mode display image is displayed, the image display control function unit recognizes clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the operating dial and causes a map image to be displayed on an enlarged or reduced scale.
