  • Publication number: 20100281423
    Abstract: An information processing device stores a window of an application and designation information for designating an external device associated with the window. The information processing device detects an external device located near the information processing device in S1, and when multiple windows are displayed having an overlapping portion the information processing device identifies an external device associated with the multiple windows in S6. Next, the information processing device determines whether there is a window associated with the detected external device in S7, and if the window(s) exists the information processing device displays the window or any one of the windows in the foremost position in S11.

  • Publication number: 20100281431
    Abstract: An information processing device displays in a display area a key image indicating a key to which a process is allocated as a soft key. In the information processing device, a key to which a process is allocated can be changed. The information processing device changes display mode based on the display mode. For example, if processes are allocated to keys K21 and K41, the information processing device displays key images Gl and Gr. If processes are allocated to keys K23 and K43, the information processing device displays key images Gla and Gra.

  • Publication number: 20100275157
    Abstract: To enable a user to distinguish readily a correspondence between an operation key and a window to which the operation is assigned. An information-processing device according to the present invention, on obtaining an operation signal of a particular operation key (specifying key) (S1), determines whether a focused (or selected) window exists (S2). If such a window does not exist, the information-processing device displays a window of a particular application and a soft key image corresponding to a soft key so that they are located close to each other, and focuses the window of the particular application (S6 and S7).

  • Patent number: 7716825
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a printed wiring board, including forming a thermosetting resin layer on the printed wiring board; heating and curing the resin layer; and then polishing the cured resin layer, thereby exposing the circuit patterns. Additionally, the step of heating and curing includes maintaining the resin layer at a non-curable temperature in a state where the resin layer is pressed via the smoothing plate in a reduced pressure chamber; heating the resin layer in the pressed state to a curing temperature; introducing outside air into the reduced pressure chamber with the pressed state and the curing temperature maintained; reducing the pressure applied to the smoothing plate with the curing temperature maintained; and cooling the resin layer.

  • Publication number: 20100115461
    Abstract: [Problem] To make it possible to switch display of plural windows depending on a situation such as a time and a place. [Solution] A mobile communication terminal stores condition data for applications that display a window. Condition data is data describing for applications, an application (namely, a window), an attribute of a location associated with the application, and a frequency at which the application has been executed. The mobile communication terminal, if plural overlapping windows are displayed, determines a window to be displayed on top, using the condition data. For example, the mobile communication terminal, if an attribute of a location of the terminal is “office”, and an application “groupware” is running, displays a window of the application on top.

  • Patent number: 7558963
    Abstract: The present invention provides a means for determining authenticity of a combination of files which are downloaded to a mobile station, and which are related to one another. To achieve the stated object, in a system according to the present invention, mobile station 16, which is capable of running a Java-APP, receives an ADF from CP server device 12. Then mobile station 16 receives a SDF from trusted server device 18, which is identified by data contained in the ADF. Mobile station 16 calculates a hash value of certificate data contained in the ADF, and verifies whether the calculated hash value of the certificate data and a hash value of the certificate data which is contained in the SDF are identical to each other. Next, mobile station 16 receives a JAR file from CP server device 12. Mobile station 16 calculates a hash value of the JAR file, and verifies whether the calculated hash value of the JAR file and a hash value of the JAR file contained in the ADF are identical to each other.

  • Publication number: 20090125839
    Abstract: A CPU 102, in a state in which multiple windows are being displayed in a display 107, when execution of a program is newly instructed, judges whether or not it is possible to display a window of the program that has been instructed to be executed without overlapping windows that are already being displayed. The CPU 102, when the window to be newly displayed will overlap a window that is already being displayed, minimizes the window with the largest size among the windows that are already being displayed to perform display, and displays the window of the program instructed to be executed in a display 107.

  • Publication number: 20090083627
    Abstract: In an information providing system 100, a virtual three-dimensional space (virtual space) is established by an information management server 40. A user of a mobile communication terminal 50 moves in the virtual space, and browses, posts, and searches message information items by manipulating an avatar representing the user. The information management server 40 manages the message information items and responds to searches requested from mobile communication terminals 50. The information management server 40 specifies an area where the number of message information items relevant to a search word specified by a user of a mobile communication terminal 50 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. The information management server 40 outputs a guide information item for indicating a direction or route toward the specified area from the position of an avatar.

  • Publication number: 20090031243
    Abstract: In a mobile phone 1, in a state in which multiple windows are being displayed in a display 107, when an operation to change the size of any of the windows is performed, whether it is possible to display each window in the display 107 without overlapping after the change is determined. When it is not possible to display each window in the display 107 without overlapping, the mobile phone 1 minimizes, of the windows other than the window whose size was changed, the window with the largest number of size changes. Thus, when the number of windows is large, a window with low priority to the user is minimized.

  • Publication number: 20080301577
    Abstract: An information processing device according to the present invention stores user attribute data and pieces of application attribute data. The information processing device retrieves the user attribute data (Sa1), retrieves application attribute data of running application programs (Sa3), and determine whether there is application attribute data matching the user attribute data (Sa5). If the determination is affirmative, the information processing device identifies an application program corresponding to the application attribute data, and subsequently identifies a window (subject window) corresponding to the identified application program (Sa6). The information processing device sets priority levels for the subject window and windows overlapping the subject window so that the priority level for the subject window is higher than those of the windows (Sa8), and changes a display order of the subject window and the windows in accordance with the priority levels for the subject window and the windows (Sa9).
