Patent number: 9510249Abstract: A wireless communication system allows a handover operation to a base station communicating through a plurality of frequency bands. The mobile terminal includes a communication unit adapted to perform communication with any of the base stations through a plurality of frequency bands. The communication unit of the base station notifies, when communication through a plurality of frequency bands is possible, a mobile terminal about information directed to identifying a main frequency band from relevant frequency bands in a manner allowing discrimination from one or more frequency bands other than the main frequency band. The communication unit of the mobile terminal determines that, upon receiving information directed to identifying a main frequency band from the second base station during having communication connection with the first base station, that the frequency band identified by the relevant information is a subject of handover towards the second base station.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2013Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kouki Suzuki, Shinichi Sawada, Tadashi Shimonabe, Shigeto Suzuki, Mitsuru Sakamoto, Yuhsuke Takagi, Akio Yoshihara, Shumpei Fuse

Patent number: 9507557Abstract: In first and second display devices (10, 20) both during pause drive (intermittent drive), an instantaneous increase in consumption power is suppressed by means of a configuration to perform control such that the scanning period in one of the two display panels is inserted during the scanning-stopped period in the other display panel, namely during the drive operation (for writing into the pixel circuit) of one of the two display panels, the drive operation (for writing) of the other display panel is not performed. Accordingly, even when a limit value of a current supply capability of a battery is low, the display device can be driven, so that a battery service life is prolonged and the operable time of a portable terminal (100) at the time of driving by the battery is increased.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2013Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Ken Inada, Asahi Yamato
