  • Patent number: 10831681
    Abstract: A display apparatus including a display that displays messages includes a message retrieval unit that retrieves messages by accessing a message management server, a display method selection unit that selects a display method for the retrieved messages in response to a count of the retrieved messages, and a display controller that performs control to display on the display the messages retrieved from the message management server in the display method selected by the display method selection unit. The display method selection unit selects a first display method that displays the retrieved messages while scrolling the retrieved messages repeatedly if the count of the retrieved messages is equal to or below a display switching threshold value, and selects a second display method that displays the retrieved messages while scrolling the retrieved messages if the count of the retrieved messages is above the display switching threshold value.

  • Patent number: 7547060
    Abstract: To a pair of link arms, portions of a fitting mechanism that can be engaged with each other in a vehicle width direction are formed. Further, hinge bases that hold both ends of the pair of link arms rotatably can fit together in the vehicle width direction. By this structure, when a load is applied onto a sliding door from the outside of the vehicle owing to a side collision or the like, and a force is applied onto the fitting mechanism and the pair of hinge bases in the vehicle width direction and in the vehicle vertical direction, the portions of the fitting mechanism and the pair of hinge bases fit together, and the movement of the link arms to the upper side in the vehicle vertical direction is regulated. Thereby, the pulling deformation of the sliding door to the inside of the vehicle body is suppressed.
