Patent number: 9946453Abstract: A display device calculates an operation amount of a user's input operation based on a detected indicated position. Display device displays component images on display surface based on the operation amount calculated. If display device determines that the indicated position is no longer detected, display device determines whether the calculated operation amount is smaller than or equal to a threshold. If it is determined that the calculated operation amount exceeds the threshold, display device executes an acquiring operation of a newly arrived email.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2013Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: NIT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Naoyuki Nakao, Hitoshi Obata

Patent number: 7640297Abstract: A system for improving the performance of on-demand mobile communications services includes a wireless network having a plurality of mobile devices and an application server. A relay node receives data from a first mobile device, the data having a destination address associated with the application server. The relay node is adapted to detect a service flag in the received data and route the received data to a second mobile device in accordance with stored routing rules. The received data may be transmitted using the UDP protocol, including error correction code for important data to guarantee packet delivery. A client device may be further adapted to track the duration of idle communications periods during operation of a client application, and transmit a dummy packet to the gaming server when the duration exceed a predetermined threshold to prevent the relinquishment of allocated system resources.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2005Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Gemini Mobile Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Hitoshi Obata
