Abstract: An image information processing system is provided, which comprises an image input section for receiving image data, a storage section for storing the image data, and a control section for controlling the image input section and the storage section. The image input section, the storage section and the control section are connected together via a data transfer bus line. An image compression section for compressing the image data is provided within or adjacent to the image input section. The control section controls the image compression section to compress non-compressed image data input from the image input section, transfers the compressed image data via the data transfer bus line to the storage section, and controls the storage section to store the compressed image data.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a signal processing section for processing an image signal including a first signal and a second signal. The signal processing section processes the first signal and the second signal using different interpolation programs from each other.

Abstract: An information service system includes a display section (14), provided at a place where unspecified number of users each having a portable information device (1) can use the display section (14), for displaying image information; a transmitting/receiving section (17) for communicating with the portable information device (1); and a display control section (15) for causing the display section (14) to display image information supplied via the transmitting/receiving section (17) from the portable information device (1), in accordance with a request from the portable information device (1). This allows, for example, a personal computer (PC) user to work with a large display screen even in visiting places without being forced to use a PC with poor portability in visiting places.

Abstract: When the user directs to change the view point within a virtual 3-D coordinate space having thereon displayed reduced images as a list of data by successively inputting a view point moving in an arbitrary direction, a trace of the movement of the view point is displayed within the screen. Thus, it has become possible to visualize individual data files in the database and the relationship among each item of the data. Consequently, the user can readily manage the data and retrieve the information he needs.

Abstract: A position detecting apparatus is provided with a detecting face so as to detect the positions of points specified on the detection face thereof, which is capable of the detection of the minute position with a detection resolution for the whole detection face being not made finer, because the detection resolution of the region in one portion of the detection face is made finer than the detection resolution of the whole detection face, whereby highly advanced manufacturing art is not required as compared with a case where the detection resolution of the whole detection face has been made finer, thus resulting in lower cost.

Abstract: When a term of a portion of a sentence in a first language to be translated is entered, a term in a second language corresponding to the term is displayed, and information of a sentence pattern and the like for constructing a sentence based on the entered term is displayed in the first language. When a term appropriate to the portion of the displayed information is entered in the first language, a portion of the information is converted into the second language satisfying grammatical restriction to be displayed. A similar process is carried out for the remaining portions of the information.

Abstract: A portable word processor transports a printing sheet along a straight path without flexing or bending it such that its output can be printed by a printer head even on an inflexible sheet.

Abstract: A data displaying apparatus including a storing device for storing one or more data, a displaying device for displaying one or more data stored in the storing device on a screen and a processor, wherein the processor calculates a sum of the maximum lengths to the left and right of a predetermined position within each data which can be displayed on the screen by left scrolling and right scrolling from the predetermined position to determine the maximum display data, also calculates the position and the ratio in the lateral direction of display data displayed on the screen with respect to the maximum display data, displays the calculated position and ratio on the screen in a graphic form, and also displays the display data on the screen while justifying it at the above-mentioned predetermined position.

Abstract: An apparatus for printing characters and ruled lines which includes an input device for inputting character data and lateral and longitudinal line data, a printing device for printing characters and ruled lines every page on prescribed paper, and a control device for judging whether a longitudinal line exists or not in each of the lines just before and after the boundary between two pages and giving any one of the following instructions to the printing device when the existence of a lateral line is recognized on the boundary; (i) to print a lateral line on the bottom of the foot line of the previous page when the longitudinal line exists on the last line before the boundary but not on the first line after the boundary; (ii) to print a lateral line on the upside of the first line of the following page when the longitudinal line exists on the first line after the boundary but not on the first line before the boundary; and (iii) to print a lateral line on the bottom of the foot line of the previous page and the

Abstract: A word processor with capability of printing characters in rotated orientations as well as in the normal upright orientation is so programmed that characters appearing inside a specified reference area on its display device can be printed not only in a rotated orientation but also at a new position which is symmetric from its original position such that a character arrangement, for example, for describing a seating arrangement as seen in one direction can be automatically converted into another character arrangement corresponding to the same seating arrangement but as seen in another direction.

Abstract: A musical score display device for a music score processor is formed into a rectangular platelike form so as to be detachably mounted on the processor. The device includes a cable for connecting the display device with the processor. The musical score display device may include an LCD provided with two touch sensors. By pressing the sensors, the next page or previous page of music score is displayed.
