  • Patent number: 9092604
    Abstract: A table storage unit stores a table that determines correspondence between information about another communication device and biological information of a user of the another communication device. A display unit displays one or a plurality of items. An input unit accepts operation using part of a biological body of the user. An instruction specification unit specifies data about an item displayed on the display unit that has been selected by operation on the input unit by the user. A fingerprint information generation unit generates first biological information representing a biological feature of the user who has selected the item. A device specification unit specifies a communication device corresponding to the generated first biological information by referring to the table. A communication unit transmits the specified data to the specified communication device.

  • Patent number: 8463321
    Abstract: To provide a mobile information terminal that facilitates an operation of switching communication methods, the mobile terminal includes a first housing, a second housing connected to the first housing in a relatively movable manner, a status detecting portion, a WiMAX communication portion, a CDMA communication portion, and a mode switching portion. The second housing has a first part and a second part on its surface facing the first housing. The mobile terminal can be changed in status to a data communication style in which the first part is exposed and to a voice call style in which the second part is exposed. The status detecting portion detects whether the mobile terminal is in the data communication style or in the voice call style (S03).

  • Publication number: 20100265473
    Abstract: [Object]To provide a scan-type projection device that can lengthen a projecting time during a battery-powered operation. [Constitution] If a battery 600 is sufficiently charged, an actuator control part 120 drives a movable mirror 43 so as to form a normal turning angle, and an image signal processing part 130 drives a light source part 41 so as to irradiate laser lights with predetermined gradations to one pixel region for a normal irradiation time t1. Accordingly, an image with a normal screen size is displayed on a projection plane. Meanwhile, if the battery becomes low in remaining level, the actuator control part 120 drive the movable mirror 43 so as to form a small turning angle, and the image signal processing part 130 drives the light source part 41 so as to irradiate laser lights with predetermined gradations to one pixel region for a short irradiation time t2. Accordingly, an image with a reduced screen size is displayed on a projection plane.

  • Publication number: 20100248792
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a display device and a mobile terminal device that can be reduced in size and weight by simplifying a configuration. [Constitution] Laser lights from a projector module 31 enter a main reflective region 32M and a sub reflective region 32S for scanning by a movable mirror 330. The laser lights reflective on the main reflective region 32M of a first reflective mirror 32 are used to scan a back side of a main screen 34 through a second reflective mirror 33. This scanning allows a main image to be displayed on a front side of the main screen 34. Meanwhile, laser lights reflected on the sub reflective region 32S of the second reflective mirror 32 are used to scan a back side of a sub screen 35. This scanning allows a sub image to be displayed on a front side of the sub screen 35.
