Patent number: 7584300Abstract: An information processing server includes a server storage device in which plural objects are stored. Each object includes the unique information and the URL for accessing to an information processing server for updating. A mobile terminal transmits an install request including an install list. In the install list, the information unique to an object, as needed for installation, among plural objects, and the URL, are stated by the mobile terminal. The information processing server refers to the install list to select objects to be transmitted, from the plural objects stored in a server storage device, and transmits the selected object to the mobile terminal. Thus, the user only has to select the URL and the information unique to the needed object, as an object desired to be actually used, with the aid of the mobile terminal.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2004Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Atsushi Fukuzato

Patent number: 6915115Abstract: A character inputting method for a handy phone or similar terminal unit uses a first and a second button capable of being pressed or shifted independently of each other. The user of the terminal unit operates the first button and/or second button to scroll characters appearing on a display either in the forward direction or in the backward direction, selects desired one of the characters, and fixes it. When the user presses the two buttons at the same time, the existing one of the vertical and horizontal scroll directions is replaced with the other direction. The user selects the desired character by the forward or backward scroll and then shifts the first or the second button to fix the character. A device for practicing the character inputting method is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2001Date of Patent: July 5, 2005Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Atsushi Fukuzato

Publication number: 20040205147Abstract: A client terminal, which is specifically a mobile terminal, receives shared data from a server terminal and issues a request for receiving the data. The shared data in the server terminal can be obtained by the client terminal, and the shared data can be regarded as data virtually held in the client terminal. The server terminal releases shared data to the client terminal and functions as hardware of any type (including a mobile terminal) having a radio communication unit. In this way, by sharing data, a mobile terminal data memory sharing system, in which a data area in a mobile terminal can be effectively used, can be obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2004Publication date: October 14, 2004Inventor: Atsushi Fukuzato
