  • Publication number: 20230289126
    Abstract: A system includes a first apparatus and a second apparatus. The first apparatus includes first circuitry to input and output audio, acquire information on the second apparatus output from the second apparatus, and transmit the information on the second apparatus acquired from the second apparatus to a terminal apparatus. The second apparatus includes second circuitry to input and output audio, output the information on the second apparatus, and in response to a request for adjusting audio volume of the second apparatus received from the terminal apparatus via a network, adjust the volume of at least one of the audio input by the second apparatus or the audio output by the second apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11687232
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes circuitry to receive a handwriting input within a frame of a line displayed on a display. The handwriting input is corresponding to a part of a character string including one or more characters. The circuitry obtains, based on the handwriting input, a character size. The circuitry expands the frame in a direction of the handwriting input, based on the character size and space currently being left between the handwriting input and a side of the frame in the direction of the handwriting input to receive another handwriting input.

  • Patent number: 10564921
    Abstract: A display device that displays image data received from a transfer device includes a size determiner, a control information transmitter, a size adjuster, and an outputter. The size determiner determines a transmission image size as a resolution at which image data is to be transmitted by the transfer device, based on a display image size as a resolution at which the image data is to be displayed and a desired image size as a resolution at which the transfer device desires to transmit the image data. The control information transmitter transmits control information including the determined transmission image size to the transfer device. The size adjuster converts the image data received from the transfer device into image data having a resolution indicated as the display image size. The outputter displays the image data converted by the size adjuster on a screen.

  • Patent number: 6510318
    Abstract: A location registration control method reducing the traffic for location registration is disclosed in a mobile communications system having the capability of changing a configuration of location registration areas. When receiving a broadcast channel when moving into another radio zone, a mobile station compares a previous location code with a current location code. If they matches, then the mobile station receives an incoming call notification channel from the current base station without making a location registration request. If they do not match, the mobile station makes a location registration request through the current base station.
