Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a slide-type mobile terminal having two slidable housings wherein a predetermined component mounted on one housing can be mounted without being limited by the thickness of the one housing. A mobile terminal includes an upper housing (1) and a lower housing (2) that can be mutually slid for enabling the mobile terminal to enter either of a closed state in which the upper housing (1) and the lower housing (2) overlap each other as a whole and an open state in which the upper housing (1) is slid with respect to the lower housing (2) from the closed state. The upper housing (1) has a camera section (6) having one part projected to the lower housing (2) and a different part embedded in the upper housing (1). The lower housing (2) has a concave part that can house the convex part of the camera section (6) when the mobile terminal is placed in the closed state from the open state.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of data transmission/reception in which picture signals are encoded into image data, the attribute information of the image data is obtained, meta data are generated from the attribute information of the image data. The image data and the meta data are transmitted separately. With this system and method of data transmission/reception, when predetermined conditions are satisfied, i.e. only when a moving body is detected or abnormal data or data including significant information are detected, image data and meta data are transmitted. Therefore, since not all the data are transmitted, the amount of transmitted data is reduced. As a result, the amount of data accumulated in data recipient can be reduced and the load of data analysis operation can be alleviated. In addition, the burden on an operator visually monitoring image data can be eased. Furthermore, inadvertent failure in checking abnormal data or data including significant information can be prevented.

A semiconductor includes two capacitor electrodes formed spaced from each other and including conductive impurities of the first conductivity type, and an electrode isolation film located between the two capacitor electrodes and formed at the same layer as that of the two capacitor electrodes, while including conductive impurities of the second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type. This allows the two capacitor electrodes to be electrically isolated from each other, without the etching step or the like, by introducing conductive impurities of the second conductivity type into a region that is located between the two capacitor electrodes and is formed at the same layer as that of the capacitor electrodes.
