  • Patent number: 6792453
    Abstract: An information terminal unit is capable of inputting a desired character with lesser key stroke by eliminating unnecessary operation of a user. The information terminal unit obtains a file described by a page description language used on a browser function on a superior unit by means of the browser function, parses the page description language of the obtained file, and displays a result of parsing of the page description language. The information terminal unit has control means for dynamically controlling an order of appearance of display characters upon inputting character, depending upon an attribute of a kind of input character designated in a character input tag used in the page description language.

  • Patent number: 6717531
    Abstract: A keyboard device incorporating a power supply checks whether or not the power supply is turned on. If it is, the device determines whether or not the device is connected to a cellular phone. If the connection is determined, the keyboard device is set to an active state and a light emitting diode (LED) in an LED portion is turned on to indicate the active state. If the keyboard device is not connected to the cellular phone, the device is set to a standby state. In this state, the keyboard device is in a mode where a connection state with respect to a cellular phone is monitored, without turning on the LED. The power dissipated in the power supply of the keyboard device is minimized, thus the device is capable of operating for a long period of time.

  • Publication number: 20040032939
    Abstract: There is obtained a telephone set capable of preventing a noise generated by an operation of application software during voice communication from being sent to a speech counterpart. In a mobile telephone set, if a user operates activated application software other than voice communication related application software when the mobile telephone set is in voice communication with another telephone set via a communication network, the mobile telephone set requests hold of the voice communication from the communication network. This causes the voice communication to be held, thereby preventing a noise generated by the above operation from being sent to the another telephone set.

  • Publication number: 20020102375
    Abstract: The ease of opening of a tubular casing is facilitated based on a plastic film comprising three or more layers. The tubular sealed casing (1) for packaging the contents therein is based on a composite plastic film formed into a tubular form by bending the base film into a circular form, overlaying two edges of the bent base film, and heat-sealing the overlaid section so that a not heat-sealed section (8) will be left in an edge section of an upper film when the two edges thereof are overlaid on each other. The casing base film (2) is a composite plastic film comprising three or more layers. In this casing, the peel strength between the outer layer (5) and intermediate layer film (3) is set to a lower level as compared to the peel strength between the inner layer film (4) and intermediate layer film (3).

  • Publication number: 20020063692
    Abstract: A keyboard device is provided, which is available even when it is impossible to get sufficient brightness at hand. The keyboard device comprises a key operation section to which a key input is executed, a key backlight in the keyboard configuring the key operation section, a communication control section sending input operation signal operated by a key input, and a photosensor measuring brightness around the keyboard in the act of operating. On the basis of the value of the brightness measured by the photosensor, it is controlled whether the backlight should be turned on or off. By this configuration, it is possible to use the keyboard in the dark and draw up such as e-mail. Further, by turning on and off the key backlight according to the brightness around the keyboard, it is possible to reduce power consumption when the keyboard device is driven by batteries.

  • Patent number: 6321094
    Abstract: In a network system including a wireless mobile communications system, when establishing a connection between a wireless mobile terminal and a host computer connected to a stationary network system, the wireless mobile terminal produces a connection establishment request signal including first information which is required to obtain services from the host computer and then transmits the connection establishment request signal to the host computer. The host computer verifies the first information included in the connection establishment request signal received from the wireless mobile terminal and transmits a response signal back to the wireless mobile terminal only when the first information has been verified. This causes the connection to be established between the wireless mobile terminal and the host computer.

  • Patent number: 6192259
    Abstract: When the user of a portable radio apparatus performs an operation for transmitting data outside a communication service area, the data to be transmitted is compressed in a compression section 6, and stored in a compressed data memory 13. When the user moves within the communication service area, the stored compressed data is automatically transmitted. On the other hand, when destination information for the transmitted data already exists, only the transmitted data is added to the destination information already registered, and transmitted in a batch. Alternatively, if the destination has a function for decompressing compressed data, the compressed transmitted data is transmitted in a batch, while, if the destination does not have the function for decompression compressed data, the compressed transmitted data is decompressed and transmitted.

  • Patent number: 5889604
    Abstract: Data communications are carried out between portable information terminals through infrared radiation with an energy source which may be either a battery in each of the portable information terminals or an external power supply therefor, at a data transmission rate which is relatively low when the portable information terminal is operated by the battery. If the power source is the incased battery, the data transmission rate is switched to a low rate, data to be transmitted are compressed, and the respective numbers of bits "0" and "1" contained in the compressed data are compared with each other. If the number of bits which require a greater amount of electric energy for transmission is greater than the other number of bits, then the value of bits is inverted. Data indicative of the low data transmission rate, the compression of the data, and whether the value of bits has been inverted or not are coded into header data which are added to the compressed data for transmission.
