Abstract: A personal communication apparatus is disclosed, which comprises a radio transmitter 64 and a radio receiver 66 for participating in communication, a microphone 60, a loudspeaker 61, a processor 90 as a controller for controlling call switching communication and packet switching communication, a ROM 100 and a RAM 101 for storing control programs and data, a call switching modem 80 for modulating signal in the speech frequency band, and a packet switching modem 82 for modulating signal in a frequency band exceeding the speech frequency band. The outputs of the microphone 60 and call switching modem 80 are bandwidth limited by a transmission signal processing circuit 72. Communication by the packet switching modem is carried out according to a communication program. The apparatus is capable of stand alone call switching communication and also of packet switching communication, as well as functioning as a radio telephone set.

Abstract: A display-integrated tablet consuming less power and capable of detecting positions only with top (row) electrodes of a matrix panel without using bottom (column) electrodes of the matrix panel with which position detection is difficult. A display-integrated tablet with a matrix panel having top (row) and bottom (column) electrodes, a top-electrode (row-electrode) drive, a bottom-electrode (column-electrode) driver, a top (row) electrode position detecting section, a bottom (column) electrode position detecting section having a memory storing detection voltage levels and x- and y-coordinate values corresponding to a certain number of dot positions on the panel, and a position detecting conductor, and performing display and position detection by means of time division. It is possible to decrease power consumption without supplying scanning pulses simultaneously to many electrodes (e.g.
