  • Publication number: 20240305728
    Abstract: An operation sound output portion outputs a sound corresponding to an operation when a ringing signal is input. A control portion is capable of outputting a ringing command signal in a normal state. The control portion transitions to a paused state with lower power consumption than the normal state when a pause condition is satisfied in the normal state. An OR circuit outputs a logical OR signal of an operation detection signal of an operation detecting portion and a ringing command signal to the operation sound output portion as the ringing signal.

  • Patent number: 11928370
    Abstract: A USB host portion is supplied with power in a normal mode, and the power supply is stopped in a power saving mode. The USB host portion can acquire print request data from a communication device while outputting a first control signal. Power is supplied to a signal input portion and a signal output portion in both modes. The signal input portion can receive a signal from the communication device. A control portion shifts to the normal mode when a notification signal is input to the signal input portion while operating in the power saving mode. The signal output portion outputs a second control signal in both the normal mode and the power saving mode. The voltage output portion outputs a rated voltage to the communication device when at least one of the first control signal and the second control signal is output.

  • Patent number: 11119575
    Abstract: A motion controlled handheld device includes a display having a viewable surface and operable to generate an image and a gesture database maintaining a plurality of gestures. Each gesture is defined by a motion of the device with respect to a first position of the device. The gestures comprise symbol gestures each corresponding to a character from a preexisting character set. The device includes an application database maintaining at least one application and a gesture mapping database comprising a gesture input map for the application. The gesture input map comprises mappings of the symbol gestures to corresponding inputs for the application. The device includes a motion detection module operable to detect motion of the handheld device within three dimensions and to identify components of the motion in relation to the viewable surface.
