  • Patent number: 9756162
    Abstract: A mobile phone includes a communication module for establishing a master-slave relationship with another electronic device to perform communication. The mobile phone determines a carrying state and performs control related to the master-slave relationship of the communication module based on a determination result of the carrying state. By this configuration, the mobile phone can improve user's convenience with respect to the use modes of electronic devices between which the master-slave relationship is established. For example, when it is determined that the carrying state is a carried state, the mobile phone may make the communication module subordinate to the other electronic device.

  • Patent number: 9449502
    Abstract: A telemeter system in which information that has an effect on a state of communication between a terminal device and a central device can be readily and accurately reported from the terminal device to the central device. When a central device transmits a request signal for prescribed measurement result information to a terminal device, a terminal control component of the terminal device extracts the measurement result information from a measurement component, and transmits the measurement result information to the central device. When a communication component of the central device receives the measurement result information, a center control component stores the received measurement result information in a storage component. The state of communication between the terminal device and the central device is reported to an administrator as necessary.

  • Publication number: 20160219136
    Abstract: An electronic device (e.g., mobile phone) includes a communication module (e.g., second communication module) for communicating with other electronic device, and a controller-for performing, when caller information related to a caller of a communication received by the other electronic device is notified, control for the caller information by referring to information in a phone book. Furthermore, it may be configured that, when an incoming call along with the caller information including a phone number of an incoming voice call received by the other electronic device is notified, the controller performs the control for the phone number by referring to the information in the phone book.

  • Patent number: 8977299
    Abstract: A mobile terminal device includes: a memory that stores a restriction on a predetermined function or a release condition of the restriction as initial setting information; a determining unit that determines whether a condition of the setting information of the memory is satisfied; a generation unit that generates a restriction change request signal, which changes the initial setting information by a setting information change signal under a condition to change the initial setting information of the memory, and which requests the restriction on a function stored in the memory or the change of the release condition of the restriction when the determining unit determines that the condition of the changed setting information is satisfied; and a restriction release unit which, when detecting the restriction change request signal generated by the generation unit, performs the use restriction on the function or the restriction release based on the changed setting information.

    Abstract: A telemeter system in which information that has an effect on a state of communication between a terminal device and a central device can be readily and accurately reported from the terminal device to the central device. When a central device (12) transmits a request signal for prescribed measurement result information to a terminal device (10), a terminal control component (20) of the terminal device (10) extracts the measurement result information from a measurement component (16), and transmits the measurement result information to the central device (12) via a telecommunication component (18) by using a short message service or the like. When a communication component (22) of the central device (12) receives the measurement result information, a center control component (26) stores the received measurement result information in a storage component (24) The state of communication between the terminal device (10) and the central device (12) is reported to an administrator as necessary.
