Patent number: 8896554Abstract: According to an aspect, a data retrieval apparatus includes a display unit, a detector, and a control unit. The display unit displays a group including a plurality of data on a display screen. Each of data is associated with a relevance ratio to search criteria. The detector detects movement of the group on the display screen. The control unit calculates a rate according to a degree of the movement of the group detected by the detector, and extracts the data from the group based on a comparison between the calculated rate and the relevance ratio.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2010Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventor: Eizo Fujisawa

Publication number: 20050130715Abstract: A overlapping type portable terminal unit is in a closed state such that a first housing and a second housing face in the same direction and are overlapping each other. These housings are coupled at their ends by a coupling section having a shaft which passes through the both housings. The unit is in an opened state in the case that the first housing is rotated from the closed state in a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction. A control section selects a screen so that a first screen is displayed in the display section when the first housing is rotated in relation to the second housing clockwise from the closed state, and so that a second screen is displayed in the display section when the first housing is rotated in relation to the second housing counterclockwise.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2004Publication date: June 16, 2005Applicant: KYOCERA CORPORATIONInventor: Eizo Fujisawa
