  • Publication number: 20090141029
    Abstract: In a text data displaying apparatus, input text data is analyzed at a text data analyze unit using a correspondence table acquired at a correspondence table acquisition unit from a data storage unit, and animation data corresponding to a specific character string included in the text data is determined at animation data determine unit. At animation data acquisition unit, the determined animation data is acquired from data storage unit and written to a drawing memory at animation data drawing unit. A text drawing unit writes text therein, whereby the text data is displayed at a display unit with the text and the animation.

  • Patent number: 7535477
    Abstract: A data converter for converting a file having layout information to a file which does not depend on the process properties of an information apparatus is provided. The process which is executed by the control part in the data converter includes the step of determining the attributes of the apparatus to which mail is transmitted if a file is attached to received mail, the step of executing a conversion process if data conversion is necessary, the step of generating a message that mail is incoming which includes information on the location where the file that has been generated through the conversion process is stored, the step of transmitting the message that mail is incoming to the recipient's apparatus, the step of storing the file without converting data if data conversion is unnecessary, and the step of transmitting the received mail to the recipient's apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20070055931
    Abstract: A document data display system uses document data composed of text and image portions and layout information and creates from it compressed document data by lossless compressing the text portion and lossless or lossy compressing the image portion in order to reduce traffic in communication. A document data display device 1 expands text or image portions from received compressed document data at a text expansion unit or an image expansion unit, and uses the analysis of the layout information by a layout information analyzing unit to arrange the text or image portions at a development unit before being displayed by a display unit.

  • Patent number: 7071942
    Abstract: When a point (parameter) to be edited is judged to be present in the shape or moving state of an object (to be displayed) during reproduction of animation, the user selects the object on the screen (S201–204). Varying parameters (variation parameters; position, and the like) of the object are extracted during the reproduction of the animation and displayed on another display screen. The animation can be corrected by stopping it at a part to be edited and correcting the values of the displayed variation parameters (S205–208). Since the variation parameters can be extracted and the animation can be edited, edition of animation is facilitated.

  • Publication number: 20060143020
    Abstract: A depth in a z axis direction is set for each figure drawn on a xy plane in an image that includes figures, so that each figure exists in each layer that has been set for each depth in the z axis direction, and thereby, stereoscopic contents are prepared in a contents preparation apparatus. An image is stereoscopically displayed on the basis of the depth that has been set, and thereby, the stereoscopic contents can be displayed in a contents reproduction apparatus. In addition, only figures that exist in a selected layer are displayed, and thereby, the depth of stereoscopic contents can be easily confirmed, even in a two-dimensional display in a contents editing apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20040259007
    Abstract: An electrically conductive composition can be obtained that provides an electrically conductive coating having low volume resistivity and high electrical conductivity comparable to that of metallic silver independent of high-temperature film deposition conditions, while also enabling the line width of an electrical circuit to be sufficiently narrow without having to increase thickness in the case of forming an electrical circuit of a flexible circuit board and so forth.

  • Patent number: 6117543
    Abstract: A carrier particle (A) is previously treated with a compound (B) such as a silane coupling agent, if necessary. To the carrier particle, a free functional group is introduced by allowing a reactive group of the carrier particle (A) to react with a compound (C) such as a bisoxazoline compound. As a result, a reactive particle represented by the following formula (I):[C--(B1).sub.m ].sub.n --A--[(B2).sub.p --D].sub.q (I)wherein A is a carrier particle, C is an organic group having at least one free functional group, D is a hydrophilic or hydrophobic group, B1 is an organic group connecting the carrier particle A to the organic group C and B2 is an organic group connecting the carrier particle A to the hydrophilic or hydrophobic group; n is an integer of not less than 1, m and p are 0 or 1, q is 0 or an integer of not less than 1, m and p may be different according to n and q; and having a number of active sites can be obtained. A hydrophilic or hydrophobic group may be introduced to the carrier (A).
