  • Patent number: 8629874
    Abstract: It is possible to provide a mobile display device which can improve usability even when the character size is increased for improving visibility. A method for controlling the mobile display device is also disclosed. A control unit (18) can set a conversion candidate of an input character displayed on a second display region (conversion candidate character display region (162)) of a display unit (16) to a first display mode (normal mode) for displaying the conversion candidate in a first character size and to a second display mode (enlarged mode) for displaying the conversion candidate in a second character size greater than the first character size while differentiating a display priority of a plurality of conversion candidates to be displayed in the second display region in the first display mode and a display priority of a plurality of conversion candidates to be displayed in the second display region in the second display mode.

  • Patent number: 7231222
    Abstract: A mobile communication terminal enabling the user to select or change the transmission method (bearer) during or after the edit of message data when the terminal transmits data to the party communication terminal of the same model. The mobile communication terminal has a bearer changing function of changing the bearer during or after the edit of message data and a bearer automatic judging function of automatically judging an appropriate bearer after the edit. In an embodiment, if the quantity of character data (input with keys) exceeds a predetermined value (for example 128 bytes) during the edit of message data or if a file is attached, the user is prompted to change the communication method to the DAS bearer. At the next step, if the user issues an instruction to change the bearer to the DAS bearer, the mobile communication terminal operates to make a transition to the destination setting and message data creation according to the DAS bearer.
