  • Patent number: 11919325
    Abstract: An enclosing-sealing apparatus includes a flap opener that opens a flap of an envelope while the envelope is conveyed to an enclosing position. A first envelope detector is disposed upstream from the flap opener in an envelope conveyance direction and detects both ends of the envelope in the envelope conveyance direction. A second envelope detector is disposed downstream from the flap opener in the envelope conveyance direction and detects both ends of the envelope in the envelope conveyance direction in an open state in which the flap opens. A controller determines the open state of the flap based on a first detection result sent from the first envelope detector and a second detection result sent from the second envelope detector. The controller performs troubleshooting for enclosing the enclosure into the envelope if the controller determines that the open state of the flap is faulty.

  • Patent number: 10222940
    Abstract: A mobile terminal apparatus can generate data indicating a screen displayed on a display unit using software depending on selection states of the display unit. A first display unit and a second display unit display images. The apparatus causes at least one of the first display unit and the second display unit to display a content. The apparatus selects one or more of the first display unit and the second display unit. The apparatus acquires screen data indicating a screen displayed on the selected display unit. The apparatus generates image data based on the acquired screen data.

  • Publication number: 20150355791
    Abstract: In a delivery network system, deliver a server that holds requested content is determined, using information included in a content request message from a communication terminal. A file or stream of the requested content is read from the determined server. When the content is moving image content, a bandwidth of a mobile network is estimated, based on a response signal or a congestion state notification signal from the communication terminal. The moving content is transmitted by controlling a timing of transmitting the read file or the read stream so as not exceed the estimated bandwidth.

  • Patent number: 7835766
    Abstract: In a situation where a plurality of “telephone numbers” as subscriber numbers and “fixed IDs” fixedly assigned to the “telephone numbers” in association with each other are stored and managed in a telephone number table, in a case where an arbitrary site is accessed using one of the “fixed IDs” as information on an accessing party, when registration of an “URL” of this site in a favorites table is instructed, a CPU registers one of the “fixed IDs”, which is stored and managed in the telephone number table, in association with the “URL”. When an access to the registered site is instructed thereafter, the CPU accesses the site using the “URL” associated with the registered site and the “fixed ID”.

  • Patent number: 7071472
    Abstract: In an irradiation control device which extends a longevity of an LED, a feedback control is performed to an irradiating portion by an output signal of a photo device provided in relation to the irradiating portion, thereby making brightness fixed. Alternatively, by performing image processing to an image taken by a camera, brightness on a screen is calculated, so that a feedback control is performed to the irradiating portion to make the brightness fixed. Alternatively, based on a recognition rate upon character recognition within the image taken by the camera, a feedback control is performed to the irradiating portion to make the brightness fixed.

  • Patent number: 6097935
    Abstract: A data receiver apparatus (1) for receiving a stream of data includes a display (27) for displaying a message in accordance with the received stream of data; and a storage device (19, 28) for storing character data and display control data which respectively correspond to predetermined combinations of bit patterns. A controller (15) extracts a combination of bit patterns from the received data stream, reads out the character data corresponding to the extracted combination of bit patterns when the extracted combination of bit patterns coincides with any one of the predetermined combinations of bit patterns corresponding to the character data, and generates a message to be displayed based on the read out character data. The controller reads out the display control data corresponding to the extracted combination of bit patterns when the extracted combination of bit patterns coincides with any one of the predetermined combinations of bit patterns corresponding to the display control data.

  • Patent number: 6081584
    Abstract: When receiving a conversion instruction from a key input section, a CPU reads character data stored in a message memory to a conversion buffer, converts the same into numeric data base on a conversion table, causes a tone signal generator to convert the same into a DTMF signal and outputs the signal to a speaker. When an input instruction of a registration designation and message number is received from the key input section, the CPU forms transmission data for sequentially storing the input information and the numeric data converted from character data in this order, causes to convert the same into the DTMF signal and outputs the signals. At the time of reception of the transmission data, the CPU identifies the content of the data, restores the numeric data into the character data based on an inverse conversion table, retrieves a message number from a TEL bank memory and registers a message into a memory area assigned to the number.

  • Patent number: 5966113
    Abstract: A pager comprises a receiving section for receiving message data, an LCD for displaying the message based on the message data, and a memory for storing the format No. contained in the format code specifying the display format of the message and the actually displayed display format in such a manner that they correspond to each other. When a format code is sensed from the received message data, a display format is read from the memory according to the format No. contained in the format code and develops the subsequence display data on the display format, thereby displaying it on the LCD.
