  • Patent number: 7162240
    Abstract: When a radio communication is made between a predetermined base station and a communication terminal, the communication terminal is allowed to make a communication if a predetermined registration processing is made. If the above registration processing is not executed, then predetermined functions other than a communication function of the communication terminal are limited. Moreover, when a predetermined operation mode is set by an operation means, at least a transmission processing at a radio communication means is stopped and an execution of predetermined functions other than the radio communication processing is not restricted. Thus, when a communication terminal apparatus incorporates therein other functions than an audio reproducing function, operation of such function can be limited properly.

  • Patent number: 6871048
    Abstract: There are disclosed a mobile communication apparatus and an information providing system using the mobile communication apparatus in which a user of the mobile communication apparatus can obtain information output of desired contents at a desired time without carrying other devices. In this system, the side of the mobile communication apparatus requests a predetermined opposite party of communication to transmit desired information such as music data by using a transmitter. When a receiver receives information transmitted in response to the request, the received information is stored in a memory, and at an arbitrary time thereafter, the information in the memory is read by a recording/reproducing section, and is outputted and reproduced to the user from an input/output section.

  • Patent number: 6054933
    Abstract: A pager has an input unit, a signal generating unit, a conversion unit, a receiving unit and a display unit. The input unit reads information input by handwriting as image data. The signal generating unit generates a DTMF signal from the image data input by the input unit. The conversion unit converts the DTMF signal from the signal generating unit into a DTMF tone, and outputs it to the transmitter of a telephone apparatus. The receiver unit receives the transmitted signal. The display unit displays display data generated according to image data in the signal received by the receiving unit.
