Abstract: Provided is an air conditioner including an indoor unit provided with a microphone element for receiving voice instructions, such that a voice instruction spoken by an operator is acquired with high quality and control based on the voice instruction spoken by the operator is likely to be ensured. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit, a transmission unit, and a reception unit. The indoor unit has a main body and a microphone element. The main body has formed therein a blow-out port through which air-conditioned air is blown out toward a space to be air-conditioned. The microphone element accepts a voice instruction captured from a voice capturing portion arranged at a position that deviates from a ventilation space through which the air blown out from the blow-out port flows, in such a manner as to face the space to be air-conditioned. The transmission unit transmits the voice instruction accepted by the microphone element to an outside as a signal.

Abstract: A CPU 15 measures a temperature change amount at each reception timing of an broadcast information signal (PCH) of a predetermined period and determines the period of the reception timing of the broadcast information signal with reference to a table, stored in a memory unit 16, storing correspondences between the temperature change amount and periods of the reception timing of the broadcast information signal. When the reception of the broadcast information signal is failed, the CPU 15 counts an average number of clocks of a low frequency clock signal of a low frequency clock oscillator 21 per period at the time of reception of the broadcast information signal based on a high frequency clock signal of a high frequency clock oscillator 20, and predicts and determines the reception timing of the next broadcast information signal based on the average number of clocks.

Abstract: A signal processing device such as an RFIC having a function of holding therein control data, enabling stable operation of an integrated circuit because of suspension of power supply during the intermittent reception suspension period in the standby mode, and enabling further improvement of power saving. A portable communication terminal device and a radio communication system are also provided. The signal processing device has an RFIC unit (12) and an ASIC unit (13) connected to the RFIC unit (12) via an input/output buffer circuit (140), making control such that power supply to the RFIC unit (12) is suspended during the reception suspension period during which signaling information is not received in the standby mode and power is supplied to the RFIC unit (12) when signaling information is received, and including an SPI therein.

Abstract: In order to restrict a decrease in processing speed due to an increase in bit length of a digital signal, a mobile telephone (1001) receives an input of a digital signal having a predetermined bit length indicating a coordinate of a user-specified position on an input surface of a touch panel (1300) in a predetermined resolution from the touch panel (1300) and converts the received digital signal into a digital signal having a bit length shorter than the predetermined bit length indicating the coordinate of the user-specified position on the input surface in a resolution lower than the predetermined resolution. The digital signal after conversion is used for a process of acquiring the user-specified position.

Abstract: In an image information sharing system (6) including a portable terminal (1-1) and a portable terminal (1-2), wherein the portable terminal (1-1) and the portable terminal (1-2) are both provided on a network (3), capable of accessing an image database (4) storing a plurality of image files, the portable terminal (1-1) obtains address information indicating an address on the network, of an image file stored in the image database (4), and transmits the obtained address information to the portable terminal (1-2), and the portable terminal (1-2) receives the address information from the portable terminal (1-1), then obtains the image file from the image database (4), based on the received address information, and displays the obtained image file.

Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to alter a keyboard arrangement displayed on a touch screen even using a simple operation. A character input device of a PDA, mobile telephone, or the like comprises a memory unit (34) for storing a plurality of different types of keyboard arrangement images, a display unit (30) for displaying one of a plurality of different types of keyboard arrangement images on a touch screen (12), a touch operation judgment unit (31) for judging whether or not a touch operation has been performed in a specified area of the touch screen (12), and a display switching control unit (33) for controlling the display unit (30) so that one of the keyboard arrangement images among the keyboard arrangement images stored by the memory unit (34), other than the keyboard arrangement image that is being displayed by the display unit (30), is displayed in cases where a touch operation is judged to have been performed.
