  • Publication number: 20110228862
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a communication unit is configured to wirelessly transmit and receive signals via at least one of a first physical link and a second physical link. A power consumption for wireless transmission and reception of the signals via the first physical link is lower than that a power consumption for wireless transmission and reception of the signals via the second physical link. A first link control module establishes the first physical link between the communication unit and an external device. A remote control module transmits to the external device a playback request signal via the first physical link. A second link control module establishes the second physical link between the communication unit and the external device, after the playback request signal is transmitted. A data transfer module transfers the digital content data between the communication unit and the external device via the second physical link.

  • Publication number: 20100293403
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus is switchable between a power saving mode and a normal operating mode. A transition triggering event determining section determines an event (e.g., detection of a document or operation of a power saving key) that causes the data processing apparatus to shift from the power saving mode to the normal operating mode, and a transition triggering event holding section stores the event. Then, a mode switching section causes the data processing apparatus to shift from the power saving mode to the normal operating mode in accordance with the event. An execution priority determining section determines based on the event, an execution priority level and/or an order of precedence in which a plurality of programs are executed during the normal operating mode. A program controlling section executes the plurality of programs in accordance with the execution priority level and/or an order of precedence.

  • Patent number: 7792910
    Abstract: A communication apparatus prepares a message including an image data address. A decision section in the communication apparatus compares the image data address with the destination address of the message and decides whether the recipient will be able to access image data stored at the image data address. If the decision is negative, a notification section notifies the operator of the communication apparatus. The operator can then cancel the message to avoid sending an image data address to a person who cannot access the image data, and take alternative action, such as reducing the size of the image data so that the image data can be included directly in the message.
