Patent number: 8126513Abstract: In a mobile phone applicable to an information processing apparatus, an illumination sensor detects a state of the mobile phone and generates a detection signal, a main controller determines whether or not the generated detection signal is larger than a predetermined reference value and allocates predetermined functions of operation to operation keys based on a result of determination with reference to a table in which the input units and the functions thereof are caused to previously correspond to each other and stored therein. With this arrangement, the number of operation keys or buttons is reduced without reducing the number of functions to be mounted, and the operability output stage line card group the mobile phone is improved even if the size thereof is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2007Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Fujitsu Toshiba Mobile Communications LimitedInventors: Yuki Yoshida, Akira Ishikura

Patent number: 7532886Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mobile radio communication apparatus, wherein priority data items representing the priorities of base stations are stored. The SID of the base station seized when the apparatus was turned off last is stored in the apparatus, too. When the apparatus is turned on, it may identify a base station of higher priority than the base station it seized when it was turned off. In this case, the apparatus seizes the base station of higher priority and goes into an idle state. Thus, the apparatus that can seize a base station of high priority even if it seized a base station of low priority when it was turned off last and if it now exits in an area formed by the overlapping of the two service areas in which the low-priority base station and the high-priority base station operate, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2005Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Ippo Aoki, Akira Ishikura

Patent number: 7174188Abstract: In a first standby state, the reception quality of a signal from a system which has established synchronization is detected. If the detected reception quality deteriorates to be less than a threshold value, the destination of synchronization establishment is changed from a first system to a second system. In a second standby state after this system change, the reception quality of a system having a higher priority order of selection than the second system which has established synchronization is detected. If a third system whose detected reception quality exceeds the threshold value is found, the destination of synchronization establishment is changed to this third system again. After that, the first standby state is returned.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2005Date of Patent: February 6, 2007Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Moriaki Kiyomoto, Akira Ishikura, Takashi Sakagawa

Patent number: 7127237Abstract: A communication terminal according to the present invention is configured so that a user can selectively set any one of a first display mode for displaying a CLI message with high priority, a second display mode for displaying a phone book storage information with high priority, and a third display mode for displaying both of the CLI message and phone book storage information. When an incoming call takes place, it is determined whether or not any one of the first, second, and third modes is set. According to the determination result, the caller name notified by the CLI message and the user name stored in the phone book are selectively displayed.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2001Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Akiko Naruse, Akira Ishikura

Patent number: 6931260Abstract: A system selection mode resetting function is newly added as a system selection mode to a mobile communication terminal apparatus having a plurality of system selection modes assigned different priorities. A system selection mode setting unit checks a system selection mode stored in the first memory in response to power-off or subsequent power-on. If the determination result reveals the presence of another mode higher in priority than the mode stored in the first memory, the mode stored in the first memory is reset to the higher-priority mode.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2002Date of Patent: August 16, 2005Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Wan Wang, Akira Ishikura, Moriaki Kiyomoto, Takashi Sakagawa
