Abstract: An electronic device is provided which executes a function useful in that place without a user in possession of the electronic device being intentional, and which does not receive a signal without providing a special setting if the function is not useful even if the place and the device are the same. There are an electronic device A and an electronic device each having a human body communication function. In a case where a user is holding the electronic device A, the electronic device B outputs a control signal for causing the electronic device A to execute a function aimed to eliminate a danger or an annoyance to the surroundings occurring because of holding it, whereas, due to the fact that the user has the electronic device, the electronic device A receives the control signal irrespective of the user's intention and executes a function based on the control signal.

Abstract: A folding type portable telephone in which a first housing and a second housing are fixed by a hinge includes a face panel fixed to the first housing and aromatic substances are accommodated inside the face panel. When the hinge is rotated, the aromatic substances are released in conjunction with the operation of opening the folding type portable telephone from the closed state. Furthermore, a sounding body is operated at a frequency of strongly generating an air vibration at a time defined in advance by timer control, so that fragrance of the aromatic substances is released outward by the air vibration of the sounding body. The fragrance corresponding to TPO can be generated from the face panel of the portable telephone.

Abstract: A noncontact IC communicates information to a read write unit that is an external terminal device. A high frequency modulating/demodulating section demodulates data that has been modulated by the read write unit using a load modulating method or the like. A loop antenna receives the data from the read write unit. A battery supplies power to the noncontact IC and the control section. The control section controls a portable phone function, and varies the battery voltage threshold value for issuing a low voltage alarm or the battery voltage threshold value for stopping power supply to the portable phone function, in a usage pattern where communication by the noncontact IC is performed twice or more.

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a portable terminal apparatus capable of quantitatively and easily confirming reception conditions of broadcast electromagnetic waves which are transmitted from broadcasting stations. A portable terminal apparatus 1 of the present invention corresponds to a portable terminal apparatus 1 capable of receiving broadcast, which is provided with a television broadcast receiving unit 7 for receiving a broadcast electromagnetic wave transmitted from a broadcasting station; an electric field strength detecting unit 12 for detecting an electric field strength of the electromagnetic wave; and a display unit 8 for displaying information. In the portable terminal apparatus 1, the electric field strength detecting unit 12 detects an electric field strength of the broadcast electromagnetic wave, and the display unit 8 displays the detected electric field strength of the broadcast electromagnetic wave.

Abstract: A clock control apparatus (3) receives wireless frequency information of a wireless communication apparatus (6) from an information communication apparatus (5). Also, the clock control apparatus (3) detects an operation clock frequency of a main CPU (4). Then, when the multiplied operation clock frequency coincides with the wireless frequency, the clock control apparatus (3) lowers a voltage of the operation clock of the main CPU (4) to a minimum voltage value at which the operation of the main CPU (4) is guaranteed. Alternatively, the clock control apparatus (3) may shift the clock frequency, or may frequency-modulate the clock frequency.

Abstract: PC card integrated radio communication apparatus is provided wherein the service hour is prolonged and battery charge is made possible in the operating state where current consumption of the radio communication section is small, by controlling power distribution to each section of the apparatus and to control battery charge for power supply from a PC card slot and power supply from a battery, depending on the power supply state of the personal computer and operating state of the apparatus. The circuit configuration includes switch circuits (C23, C24, C19, C18) so that power source for respective power circuits (C16, C22) of the radio communication section (C1) and the modem section (C2) can be selected from the PCMCIA I/F (b1) of a personal computer or a signal, or both of them simultaneously. This allows selection of the optimum power supply mode depending on the connection mode and operating state of the apparatus.

Abstract: Disposable underpants 1 according to the invention has an improved sealability at the crotch of user by providing a fitting elastic member 55 and has an absorbent core 7 having an improved shape retention by providing a first nonwoven fabric 73 as an intermediate layer inside the absorbent core 7 and adhering it to the upper and lower layers thereof. Since the absorbent core needs not be heated, inexpensive disposable underpants can be produced. Further, according to an inventive production method, a step of adhering elastic members to an outer sheet 2 and a step of producing inner absorbent members 6 are separately performed, and no heating treatment is performed in the absorbent core production step. Accordingly, the disposable underpants can be produced at a remarkably higher speed.
