  • Patent number: 6615254
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus for enabling the use of the Internet connection line. The terminal apparatus reads out the phone number of a first server and data for starting communication with the first server from an IC card mounted in the IC card socket, calls the phone number, and transmits the data in response to the demand from the first server. Moreover, the terminal apparatus receives the setting input by the setting acceptance screen for accepting the application for using the Internet connection line received from the first server, transmits the content to the first server, thereafter, demands the confirmation operation in response to the demand from the first server, and when it receives the confirmation input, advises the same. Furthermore, the terminal apparatus receives advice of the phone number of a second server, and the user ID and the password for starting communication with the second server from the first server, and stores the same in the IC card.

  • Publication number: 20020127968
    Abstract: While a spectrum waveform of an output signal from a subtracter (207) is visibly monitored, an operator controls a variable phases shifter (208) based upon a second control signal (CL2) so that a shape of a spectrum waveform of an output signal from a subtracter (207) is approximated to a spectrum waveform of a desirable wave to change a phase of a local oscillation frequency signal from a local oscillator (206). As a result, a phase of a duplicated loop signal is changed. Also, the operator controls a variable attenuator (209) based upon a first control signal (CL1) so that a shape of this spectrum waveform is approximated to a spectrum waveform of a desirable wave (20) to change a signal level of the duplicated loop signal.

  • Publication number: 20020101371
    Abstract: A road antenna apparatus includes a road antenna 104 which is mounted on a post 103 and at an elevated position on a road R and establishes radio communication with an on-vehicle radio device 102 mounted in a vehicle 101 which is traveling over the road; and a laser-beam emitting device 111 which is mounted on the road antenna and radiates a laser beam onto a predetermined position 113 on the surface of the road. An offset in the angle at which a road antenna is mounted can be readily ascertained on the basis of a distance between a predetermined position on the surface of the road and a position 114 on the road surface onto which a laser beam is actually radiated.

  • Patent number: 5949377
    Abstract: An antenna device includes a first antenna capable of moving between a storage position where the first antenna is contained within an equipment housing and an extended position where the first antenna is pulled out of the device housing for receiving and/or transmitting a signal. A second antenna is attached to the tip of the first antenna for receiving and/or transmitting a signal when the first antenna assumes the storage position. The rotator rotates the first antenna with respect to the device housing in the extended position.

  • Patent number: 5646649
    Abstract: In a unit body of a portable information terminal is assembled a display and a pressure-sensitive input device overlying the display. An opening and closing cover is attached to the unit body for covering the pressure-sensitive input device. An operating button device provided in the cover exposes, when the cover is closed, its operating surface from the surface of the cover. The operating button device exerts a pressing force applied to the operating surface onto the surface of the pressure-sensitive input device. Thus, with the cover closed, major function entry or data entry can be carried out.
