  • Publication number: 20150253925
    Abstract: Support information or related information regarding an input operation target is explicitly displayed when the proximity is detected before a user selects and fixes an input operation target, so as to support a user's accurate input operation, thereby improving operability. A portable terminal includes a proximity detection unit that detects a proximity of the finger to a screen, and a key image combining unit that displays enlarged images of an item displayed at a proximity correspondence position on the screen and all items adjacent to the item at the proximity correspondence position which is a position on the screen corresponding to proximity coordinates of the finger of which the proximity is detected, or in a vicinity of the proximity correspondence position, as related information or support information regarding the item displayed at the proximity correspondence position on the screen.

  • Publication number: 20140029564
    Abstract: Provided is a communication system that can set, in an RLC layer, an RLC STATUS PDU without depending on the resource allocation of each of a plurality of LCHs and with the latest data state and that can generate an RLC data PDU. In this system, an RLC unit (RLC layer) (120) receives, from a MAC unit (MAC layer) (110), a total radio resource size together with the allocated radio resource size of each logic channel (LCH). Further, the RLC unit (RLC layer) (120) refers to the allocated size of each LCH and sets transport data of each LCH within the range of the total radio resource size.

  • Publication number: 20130337865
    Abstract: A communication device (100) can communicate through a plurality of communication systems consisting of communication (A) and communication (B). An external memory (108) stores control data to be used for controlling the communication by each communication system, with respect to each communication system. A built-in memory (106) can read/write the control data at a higher speed than the external memory (108). A CPU (105) provides instructions to read the control data of the communication system to be used from the external memory (108), and to store the data in the built-in memory (106), and also, upon switching the communication system to be used, the CPU provides instructions to exchange the control data of the communication system prior to the switching which is stored in the built-in memory (106), with the control data of the communication system after the switching which is stored in the external memory (108).

  • Publication number: 20120243401
    Abstract: A terminal device (100) is provided with a C-PLANE processing unit (131) which sets an RRC connection between the terminal device and a radio station (200), and sets an RAB and a PDP context between the terminal device and a network (300), and a U-PLANE processing unit (132) which performs processing for transmitting user data using the PDP context set by the C-PLANE processing unit (131). The C-PLANE processing unit (131) performs local release for releasing the PDP context in the terminal device when the transmission of the user data has failed in a preservation state.

  • Patent number: 7280839
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to suppress an abrupt gain change and smoothly and highly accurately control transmitted electric power even if the transmitted electric power greatly changes when a closed loop control that crosses the threshold value as the detection limit of the transmitted electric power. The transmitted electric power of a self-station is detected to obtain an error between the detected transmitted electric power of the self-station and transmitted electric power set in accordance with a transmitted electric power control bit sent to the self-station from the other station. A buffer unit such as a transmitted electric power deciding part, an error integrating part or the like is provided for preventing the obtained error from greatly changing upon great change of the transmitted electric power when the transmitted electric power is controlled by crossing the threshold value as the detection limit of the transmitted electric power.

  • Patent number: 7251272
    Abstract: Noise generating section 106 generates noise data of a white Gaussian noise, and noise adding section 107 adds received data and the noise data. Channel estimating section 108 performs channel estimation using the added data output from noise adding section 107. At this point, when a level of a preceding signal is equal to or less than that of the noise data, channel estimating section 108 is not capable of detecting the preceding signal. Accordingly, in the case where a received level of a preceding signal is extremely lower than that of a delayed signal and a noise level is further lower than the received level of the preceding signal, it is possible to perform pre-equalization using the delayed signal as a desired signal, whereby it is possible to maintain the reception characteristic of a communication partner.

  • Publication number: 20060061511
    Abstract: An MSA feeder circuit (113) that feeds power to an MSA (112) and MSA (112) is disposed on an antenna substrate (106) and a high-output amplifier (102) and low-noise amplifier (103), etc., which are active devices, are mounted on an RF substrate (107). A heat radiation block (111) is interposed between the antenna substrate (106) and the RF substrate (107). An RF-antenna connection section (105) connects an MSA feeder circuit (113) disposed on the antenna substrate (106) and a feed line (109) on the RF substrate (107) through an electromagnetic field using a non-radiation connection slot (108). In this way, even when a device with high output and large power consumption is used, it is possible to provide an active antenna which can suppress deterioration of the characteristic and which can be implemented in a simple configuration and can be downsized.

  • Patent number: 6934650
    Abstract: FFT section 102 transforms a windowed input noise signal into a frequency spectrum. Spectral model storing section 103 stores model information on spectral models. Spectral model series calculating section 104 calculates spectral model number series corresponding to amplitude spectral series of the input noise signal, using the model information stored in spectral model storing section 103. Duration model/transition probability calculating section 105 outputs model parameters using the spectral model number series calculated in spectral model series calculating section 104. It is thereby possible to synthesize a background noise with perceptual high quality.
