  • Patent number: 9055164
    Abstract: Provided is a mobile terminal device capable of performing, when a user moves the mobile terminal device as if the user operated an hourglass, a screen display and a time measurement accordingly. The mobile phone device 10 comprises a display unit 13, an inclination sensor 20, an hourglass function control unit 31 for measuring a set time and displaying the image of the hourglass on the display unit 13, and an inclination deciding unit 32 for controlling the time measured by the hourglass function control unit 31, on the basis of measured data from the inclination sensor 20.

  • Patent number: 8634863
    Abstract: There are obtained a mobile terminal device and a data transfer control program that, even in the case where a plurality of data that become a target of transfer exist, can simply carry out an operation to select data to be transferred from them and to start transfer itself without a mistake. An acceleration sensor 118 fixedly provided in the device is activated at a state where the data to be transferred are displayed on a first liquid crystal display 104 and selected by an operation section 112. A control section 121 starts the transfer of the data using an infrared communication section 105 at the time when to become a posture of a specific angle range continuously more than once. Since a predetermined melody comes out from a speaker 110 during the transfer of the data, it is possible to know that the transfer is carried out.

  • Patent number: 8622301
    Abstract: A two-dimensional code B of a face panel or the like photographed by the camera 6 is analyzed. An analysis result of the two-dimensional code B is compared with each of key words stored in a memory 5. When there is a key word that corresponds with the analysis result, a mask of the content corresponding to the coincident key word is removed to execute a process corresponding to the content. This makes it possible to show a user the content so that the content is added, and it is possible to show the content like a purchase privilege such as a face panel. For this reason, it can be expected that amusement thereof is improved, and a number of face panels become widely used.

  • Publication number: 20090011742
    Abstract: A portable mobile communication terminal having a mail function or a voice message service is provided with a function of automatically making inquiry per time interval set by a user oneself, in addition to checking the presence/absence of center storage data upon power-on or upon termination of a communication. With this function, even if the frequency in use of the mobile communication terminal is low, it is possible to reliably check the presence/absence of mail or voice message storage data. Further, in order to notify a user to the effect that the automatic inquiry is being set, there is provided a function of displaying to that effect on a standby screen.

  • Patent number: 5566364
    Abstract: Electric field intensity of a signal corresponding to a plurality of receivers and received through antennas are converted into direct currents. The converted direct currents thus converted are fed to an electric field level detection circuit. The electric field level detection circuit detects the electric field level on the basis of the direct currents of respective receivers and feeds a detection signal to a control portion. The control portion compares the electric field level corresponding to the direct current value in said controller with a predetermined electric field level to make judgement that the received electric field is a strong electric field and stable. Then, a command is issued to keep one of the receivers, at which the higher electric field level is detected and to turn off other receiver.
