  • Patent number: 8276100
    Abstract: An input control device for enabling the user to perform predetermined operation for an icon simply by performing move operation of a pointer without button operation is provided. An operation selection area generation section 167 generates position information of an area indicating operation corresponding to selection and activation of predetermined operation for an object to be selected, and a display section 15 displays an operation selection area based on the operation selection area position information. When an operation selection determination section 168 determines that a pointer arrives at the operation selection area, it instructs a control section 19 to execute operation for the icon corresponding to the operation selection area information. Upon reception of the instruction, the control section 19 activates and executes the operation corresponding to the operation selection area.

    Abstract: An input control unit for enabling the user to change the input function of an input key without operating any button is provided. A display section 15 is provided with a function partition area containing function determination areas and a match detection section 167 generates match detection information indicating that a pointer exists on a predetermined function determination area based on pointer position information indicating the display position of the pointer from a pointer position determination section 161 and function determination area position information indicating the display position of a function determination area from an icon position storage section 163, and sends the generated match detection information to a control section 168. The control section 168 converts the current input function of a numeric key 13a in an input key section 13 in response to the function determination area where the pointer exists based on the match detection information.

  • Patent number: 5956311
    Abstract: To destroy data stored in CD-Rs so that no one or no technology can read the original data stored therein, unnecessary CD-Rs are heated to 80.degree. C. to 150.degree. C. for destroying data from the label surface of each CD-R. In this manner, data in unnecessary CD-Rs is destroyed before disposal, thereby enabling the user of CD-R to discharge them to disposing services without fear of leaking proprietary data.
