Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus capable of reliably determining whether a load detected by detecting units is caused by water pressure or by some other pressure and performing predetermined control according to the determination. A portable telephone apparatus (1) is provided with operation detecting units (101) and a control unit (103). The operation detecting units (101) are detecting units for detecting pressure caused by a pressing operation. When a pressure is detected by at least one of the operation detecting units (101), the control unit (103) performs first control (for example, control caused by detection of pressure other than water pressure). When even pressures are simultaneously detected by the operation detecting units (101), the control unit (103) performs second control (for example, control caused by detection of water pressure) different from the first control.

Abstract: A control unit (18) monitors a current value measured by a power control unit (10) (a current amplifier (32)) and a type of application program being executed, and executes a reset process or a power-off process by a battery (30) when the current threshold value measured by the power control unit (10) exceeds a current threshold value corresponding to the type of application program currently being executed.

Abstract: A character processing apparatus provides improved layout and formatting. In a preferred embodiment, the character processing apparatus includes a character data memory for storing a plurality of groups of character data, a first format data memory for storing a plurality of format data each having a correspondence with a different one of the groups of character data and a second format data memory for storing a plurality of format data having no correspondence with character data. The apparatus designates either one of (a) the groups of character data stored in the character data memory and (b) the plurality of format data stored in the first format data memory, and further designates one of the plurality of format data stored in the second format data memory.

Abstract: There is disclosed an image processing apparatus capable of forming white patterns on black background, hatched patterns, patterns with shadows, etc., in a simple manner. The apparatus has plural memories, which are used for defining mutually corresponding dots. These dots are subjected to logic processing, and the obtained dot patterns are released in combination.

Abstract: Format information, including e.g. color information and a plurality of format elements for permitting output of document information in a desired layout is stored, and the document information is output in accordance with the stored format information.

Abstract: An image display apparatus has a display memory for storing a one-frame image, a mouse for pointing a desired point on a CRT display, a keyboard including a key for instructing display area displacement, and an MPU to control display area displacement in response to operation of the key by the operator. The cursor can be displaced to a desired point on the screen to aid efficient panning without frequent shifting of the display area.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus for correcting shape errors when a graphic image to which contour line data was given is painted and developed comprises: an input device to input contour line data of image information; a circuit to make a contour line pattern of the image information on the basis of the contour line data; a circuit to make a painted pattern in which the inside of the contour line pattern was painted; a circuit to narrow the painted pattern; and a contour line correcting circuit to obtain the exclusive-OR combination of the narrowed painted pattern and the contour line pattern. The contour line pattern is eliminated from the painted pattern by the narrowing circuit. The contour line correcting circuit has a converter to convert the contour line pattern in correspondence to the drawing direction of the contour line pattern and obtains the exclusive-OR combination of the converted contour line pattern and the painted pattern.

Abstract: A pattern conversion method and apparatus including a storage unit for storing data representative of the contour of a pattern, a readout unit for reading the data from the storing unit; and a processing unit for processing the data read from the storage unit and representative of the contour of the pattern, wherein the processing by the processing unit comprises the steps of: parallel moving each of a plurality of segments constituting the contour of the pattern by the same distance d; solving for an intersection between the moved segments; and repeating the steps for the entire contour of the pattern.

Abstract: There is an image processing system which inputs and edits image data including document data and prints and displays a document with figures with a beautiful style. This system comprises: an output device which can output the image data including document data; a parameter adding device to add output parameters to edit the image data outputted by the output device; and an edition control unit which can edit, as a headline, at least a part of the image data outputted by the output device on the basis of the parameters added by the parameter adding device. These parameters include data such as position, size, character style, and the like of the headline. With this system, arbitrary information such as headline, catchword, line number, page number, caption, or the like can be extremely easily arranged at any position of the image data displayed on the CRT and the document with such information can be printed as a beautiful style. Also, the document and figure data can be freely edited.
