  • Patent number: 8397003
    Abstract: There are provided a CPU connection circuit and a method by two CPUs by alternately conducting a changeover between two buffers disposed there between to prevent an event that data processing cannot be fully executed by the CPU on the receiving side. There is included a memory controller which monitors whether or not an amount of data stored by a CCPU 1 in either one of buffers 301 and 302 reaches a predetermined threshold value; when the amount of data stored by the CCPU 1 in the buffer 301, 302 reaches the threshold value, the memory controller requests an ACPU 2 to acquire the data stored in the buffer and changes the storage destination of data from the CCPU to the other one of the buffers; the threshold value is a value more than a unit quantity of data which the CCPU 1 sends to the buffer 301, 302.

  • Publication number: 20050113039
    Abstract: An antenna that is larger in an RSSI signal level than another antenna is selected by an antenna selection control circuit by using the RSSI signal levels that exhibit the receiving state information of a plurality of antennas immediately after a common channel or an individual channel is set at the time of an event occurrence such as a transmission or reception start of a radio communication apparatus. An antenna is selected on the basis of the RSSI signal levels of the antennas in response to out-of-synchronization during communication through the individual channel. An antenna is selected on the basis of the RSSI signal levels of the antennas during communication through the common channel.

  • Patent number: 6785563
    Abstract: In a mobile telephone terminal, a vibrator is provided for producing tactile sensation. In response to an input signal from a manual input device during a speech mode of communication, a vibrator-on signal is transmitted from the mobile telephone terminal to a mobile network. In response to the vibrator-on signal from the network, the vibrator is activated to produce tactile sensation. Preferably, a table memory is provided for mapping a number of signaling codes to a number of corresponding items of information. One of the signaling codes is selected in response to an input signal from the manual input device and the vibrator-on signal is transmitted to the network for indicating the selected signal code.

  • Publication number: 20020032040
    Abstract: In a portable radio communication apparatus, a storage section stores an operation mode table, in which at least one operation mode that defines operation suitable for the operation environment of the apparatus is associated with settings for making sections operate in the operation mode, and a keyword table, in which a keyword representing the operation environment is associated with the operation mode. A schedule management section stores schedule management information indicating an action schedule of the user and manages the action schedule. An operation mode timetable generating section generates a timetable by extracting time at which the user starts acting, a flag being set at the time, and a keyword in the keyword table, the flag being added to the keyword, from the schedule management information.
