Patent number: 9563337Abstract: An information processing device includes: a display unit; a touch panel that is arranged overlapping the display unit, that detects contact by or proximity with an indication element, and that outputs detection results; and a control unit that displays all or a portion of an operation image on the display unit and, when a portion of the operation image is being displayed on the display unit and a drag operation is carried out that causes sliding of the contact point at which the indication element and touch panel are in proximity or contact, identifies the direction of movement and the amount of movement of the contact point that accompany the drag operation, and scrolls the display of the display unit by an amount that corresponds to the amount of movement that was identified and in the direction opposite to the direction of movement that was identified.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2011Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventor: Kazutoshi Higuchi

Patent number: 8781525Abstract: In a cellular phone 100, a directional coupler 20 provided between a transmitter for communication 32 and a duplexer 30 extracts a transmitted signal, and a detector 21 detects the signal and detects a transmission power level. Next, the comparator 22 compares a comparison level generated by a base voltage source 23 which generates a base voltage corresponding to a received field strength of a broadcast signal with an output level from the detector 21. When the output level exceeds the comparison level, the comparator generates a selection instruction signal of level ‘H,’ and switches a path so as to insert a filter between a TV receiving antenna ANT 1 and a TV receiver 13 using an input selection switch 10 and an output selection switch 12. Accordingly, deterioration of viewing quality due to suppressed sensitivity caused by transmission power of wireless communication can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2006Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Kazutoshi Higuchi

Patent number: 6983140Abstract: A cellular phone capable of informing a user of the deterioration of a line speech quality by raising an alarm. In the cellular phone according to the present invention, the condition in which the saturation of a transmission output lasts for a predetermined period of time or longer is detected, and a deterioration in the uplink speech quality is thereby predicted, an alarm signal being sent out to the cellular phone. Thus, the user is notified that a deterioration in the uplink speech quality occurs.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2001Date of Patent: January 3, 2006Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventor: Kazutoshi Higuchi

Publication number: 20050148361Abstract: In a multi-band radio terminal apparatus, when communication frequency bands are switched, a reception intermediate frequency is selected to be equal to each other in respective communication frequency bands. As a result, the circuit arrangements of this multi-band radio terminal apparatus succeeding to the intermediate frequency signal circuit stage are commonly used in the respective communication frequency bands. While a local oscillator signal is produced by a voltage-controlled oscillator, a phase-locked loop, and a doubler, in a case where communication is established within a plurality of communication frequency bands, the transmission/reception frequency intervals are different from each other. A mixer for a reception system and a mixer for a transmission system are commonly used so as to convert the frequency of the local oscillator signal into a frequency existing between the communication frequency and the intermediate frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2005Publication date: July 7, 2005Inventor: Kazutoshi Higuchi

Patent number: 6625202Abstract: A mobile station for preventing reduction of the line quality when it is used near the head of a human operator. Plural antennas are arranged so that the cross-correlation of the received waves becomes small. The signals received by the antennas are delayed by a delay time to prevent interference between the received signals so that the time difference of each received signal becomes at least one chip time of the spreading code or more. After that, a combiner combines the received signals, and an output signal of the combiner is inputted into a rake receiver. A reduction of the extent of the delay spreading is prevented by directivity of the antennas in use near a human body, and a decline of path diversity gain by the rake receiving is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1999Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Shigeyuki Sudo, Osamu Hikino, Kazutoshi Higuchi
