Abstract: A terminal device as a first communication party's terminal has: voice recognition means which, during a communication connection to a second communication party's terminal, when the mode is set to a voice recognition mode receives, as digital voice signals, the second communication party's voice sent from the second communication party's terminal and performs voice recognition to convert the digital voice signals to text data; and control means for performing control in such a manner that the text data converted by the voice recognition means are output from output means.

Abstract: In a collapsible mobile terminal provided with display device installed on the outside face of the collapsible body and display device installed on the inside face of the body, opening/closing detection device for detecting an open or closed state of the body is provided, information is displayed on the display device on the inside face in case the body is unfolded based upon the result of detection by the opening/closing detection device and information is displayed on the display device on the outside face in case the body is folded. The unused display device is powered off.

Abstract: A portable information terminal device comprising: an enclosure 180 of the portable information terminal device, an imaging element 143 provided within the enclosure 180, a first lens 141 provided within the enclosure 180 for the imaging element 143, a second lens 142, which focal length is shorter than that of the first lens, provided within the enclosure 180 for the imaging element 143, a lens selection means 180, provided within the enclosure 180, for selecting one of the first lens 141 and the second lens 142 so that a focal point of a selected lens is at the imaging element 143, and a transparent plate 122 for pressing a tip of a finger 131 of an user of the portable information terminal device, wherein the imaging element 143 captures fingerprint of the tip of the finger 131 on the transparent plate 122 by the second lens 142 selected by the lens selection means 180.

Abstract: A TV phone apparatus includes an image sensing element, ROM, CG processing section, and radio antenna. The image sensing element photographs a real video of a speaker. The ROM stores in advance at least one substitute video of the speaker. The CG processing section extracts substitute video data from the ROM in place of real video data output from the image sensing element and executes graphics processing. The radio antenna transmits the substitute video data output from the CG processing section to a partner of speech communication.

Abstract: There is provided a discrete type portable visual terminal system, in which a mobile device and a portable visual terminal are connectable/separable, and easier data administration of an address file is achieved. The discrete type portable visual terminal system comprises a mobile device and a portable visual terminal, each including a controller (CPU), a nonvolatile memory (ROM) for storing address data, a keyboard for inputting data, and an external interface driver. On the occasion when the mobile device and the portable visual terminal are connected, address data are automatically transferred/downloaded from one address file to the other address file, thus enabling the mobile device and the portable visual terminal to share the address data.
