  • Publication number: 20140029787
    Abstract: A data transmission device includes: a copyright-notice-requirement-information-storing unit that stores copyright-notice-requirement information indicating a correlation between a data transmission destination and whether a copyright notice is required; a transmission unit that transmits data to a transmission destination of the data; a copyright-notice-requirement-determining unit that determines whether to add a copyright notice to the data to be transmitted by the transmission unit, based on the transmission destination of the data and the copyright-notice-requirement information; and a copyright-notice-adding unit that adds a visible copyright notice to the data to be transmitted by the transmission unit upon the copyright-notice-requirement-determining unit determining that a copyright notice is to be added.

  • Patent number: 7844302
    Abstract: A mobile communication terminal obtains analysis result from analysis of various information included in a received e-mail. The mobile communication terminal determines whether the received e-mail satisfies a notification condition based on the analysis result, and analyzes the importance degree of the received e-mail. If the received e-mail is an important e-mail satisfying the notification condition, the mobile communication terminal notifies the user that the e-mail is received irrespective of whether its cover is opened or closed. If the received e-mail is a non-important e-mail not satisfying the notification condition, the mobile communication terminal limits notifying the user that the e-mail is received until the cover is opened, i.e., the content of the e-mail is checkable by the user. This makes it possible to restrict notifying the reception of the e-mail depending on the e-mail's importance degree, while preventing the user from missing any e-mail of high importance.

  • Patent number: 7130394
    Abstract: A CPU detects an instruction to activate an address book mode by detecting an operation of an address book key in an incoming call waiting state, and displays an address book data new creation screen or an existing data edition screen in a main display panel by activating an address book viewing/creation/edition program by using an ROM. When “activation of camera” is selected, an imaging unit is activated, display of a corresponding resolution is set in a monitor display area, and images are sequentially displayed. When a picked-up image is determined by detecting an operation of a determination key, image data of the displayed image is stored in an image memory, a link “1” for image display is set in a corresponding address data area in an address book data storage area, and a record number 001 in the image memory storing the image data is stored in a link information storage area in association with 001 in the address book data storage area.

  • Patent number: 5943049
    Abstract: A plurality of images each indicative of a file to be processed or its items to be processed is displayed on a display. When message information is displayed which is to be transmitted to the user with respect to each of the images, a surrounding image which surrounds the message information is displayed to emphasize and display the message information. When a face image is displayed on the display screen, the message information is displayed in the form of a balloon used frequently in a cartoon or animation as if the message information were uttered from the face image. The displayed shape of the balloon is changed in accordance with attributes of the face image displayed on the display screen so as to harmonize with the face image.

  • Patent number: 5446238
    Abstract: The voice processor includes a microphone for a device for inputting a voice signal, a device for inputting chord information from an electronic musical instrument or the like, a converter for converting the pitch of the voice signal into a specified pitch according to the chord information, a mixer for mixing the input voice signal and a pitch-converted voice signal, and a loudspeaker for outputting the mixed signal. The pitch of the input voice signal is converted into such one as will be consonant with the chord information or as will coincide therewith and thereafter the pitch converted signal will be output along with the input voice signal.
