Abstract: To safely and easily provide information that an operator needs, when a mobile body has started to move, a first acquiring unit and a second acquiring unit respectively acquire corresponding image information. Using the acquired image information and map information, an extracting unit extracts map information identical to the image information of the scenery around the mobile body. A selecting unit selects, from the extracted map information, an object that coincides with the position of the point viewed by the operator in the image information of the scenery around the mobile body. An output unit outputs information concerning the selected object.

Abstract: In an information display apparatus, an identifying unit identifies a street along which a moving object is moving based on a real-time position of the moving object detected by a detecting unit, and lot numbers assigned along the street. Based on a distance of an area corresponding to the lot numbers and on the real-time position, a calculating unit calculates a lot number of a vicinity of the real-time position. A display unit displays the street. A display control unit controls the display unit to display the lot number of the vicinity and information related to lot numbers corresponding to neighboring addresses of the vicinity, corresponding to a change of the real-time position.

Abstract: A portable information terminal 1 includes a primary terminal 2 and a secondary terminal 3 which are combinable and separable from each other, and individually have displays 2A, 3Ba, operation keys 2B, 3Aa, RAMs 24, 36, antennas 26, 37, and CPUs 20, 30. The RAMs 24, 36 of the respective terminals 1, 2 store application programs and the CPUs 20, 30 individually control to operate a required function and display an image on the displays 2A, 3Ba. The CPUs 20, 30 are connected through communication between the antennas 26, 37 to systematically share an operation for a required function and to display images associated with each other on the respective displays 2A and 3Ba.

Abstract: A multi-functional portable information terminal is equipped with a display and makes it possible to reuse the information held by a given function for another function. The portable information terminal comprises image range specifying part for specifying a given selected object within a given application windows displayed on a display panel. The terminal also comprises a copy part for copying the image of the selected object to display the copied image in floating on the display panel. The terminal further comprises a pasting part for pasting the selected object displayed in a floating manner onto another application window changed by the operation of a spectrum dial on the display panel.

Abstract: A portable telephone, equipped with an opening/closing cover, which houses an operating part. An operating panel is mounted to a main casing in a manner enabling movement between a position at the front face side and a position at the inner side of the main casing, and a compression spring, which urges this operating panel in the direction of the position at the front face side of the main casing is equipped. When the opening/closing cover is at the closed position, the operating panel is positioned at the position at the inner side of the main casing, and when the opening/closing cover is opened, the operating panel is moved to the position at the front face side by the compression spring so that it is positioned at a position at which the operating surface is substantially flush with the back face of the opening/closing cover that is positioned at the opened position.

Abstract: A portable information terminal includes a manipulation part 2 and a display part 3 which are coupled with the capability to change in position relative to each other. A rotational position detection sensor 14 is provided in a rotation supporting element 4 for coupling the manipulation part 2 and the display part 3. Each of application programs stored in a memory card loaded in a loading element 2C is corresponded to each of the preset relative positions of the manipulation part 2 and the display part 3 which are coupled to each other. The application program is automatically activated in response to the corresponding relative position of the manipulation part 2 and display part 3 that is detected by the rotational position detection sensor 14.

Abstract: A portable information terminal includes a main terminal 2 having a RAM 24 and a communication circuit 27, and a secondary terminal 3 having a communication circuit 38, a RAM 36 and a CPU 30. The communication circuit 38 of the secondary terminal 3 and the communication circuit 27 of the primary terminal 2 are communicated under control of the CPU 30, for transmission of application programs and data stored in the RAM 24 of the primary terminal 2, to the secondary terminal 3. Then the transmitted application program and data are stored in the RAM 36 of the secondary terminal 3 to form functions to be installed in the secondary terminal 3. The secondary terminal 3 is communicated with the communication circuit 27 of the primary terminal 2 to transmit data accumulated on the secondary terminal 3, to the primary terminal 2. Then the transmitted data is stored in the RAM 24 of the primary terminal 2.

Abstract: In an information communication terminal, titles registered to my link that is the bookmark function are displayed on the screen of LCD 2 in the form of a list, and a title to be sorted is selected. Herein, when the function key 3 is depressed, an edit menu is displayed on the screen of LCD 2. Then, when “To the top” is selected in this edit menu and the scroll key 4 is depressed, sorting of the selected title is executed. At this time, the change is applied to the data within the memory as well as the display. Therefore, during each every time of displaying my link, the selected title is displayed at the top, whereby quick access can be made.

Abstract: Real-time images and audio are monitored anytime from an arbitrary remote place with a portable telephone.
