Patent number: 6721402Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and method for automatically categorizing received mail messages. According to the apparatus and method, the importance of a received mail message is determined. Depending on the determined result, a reply mail message is sent. Alternatively, user is periodically notified of the received mail message. As a result, user can easily send a reply mail message or perform a callback. A controlling portion determines whether a sender mail address added to a received mail message or character information contained in a title of the received mail message has been registered with a memory. When the sender mail address or the character information has been registered, the received mail message is considered as an important mail message. Corresponding to schedule data recorded in the memory, a reply mail message is sent or user is notified of the received mail message using an audio alarm.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2002Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Shinya Usami

Publication number: 20020049072Abstract: A mobile communication terminal, which prevents an instrument such as a medical electronic instrument from malfunctioning caused by radio waves generated by the mobile communication terminal and also can operate processes not operating its communication function such as viewing transmitted/received e-mails, making e-mails, displaying obtained Web site images, and playing games, by a simple operation that makes only the power supply of the transmitting/receiving section on/off, is provided. The mobile communication terminal provides a controlling means that controls the power supply of the transmitting/receiving section, and an inputting means that informs the controlling means about an instruction inputted from a user. And the controlling means makes the power supply of the transmitting/receiving section off, when the user instructed so that the power supply of the transmitting/receiving section was made to be off by using the inputting means.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2001Publication date: April 25, 2002Applicant: NEC CorporationInventor: Shinya Usami

Patent number: 6118996Abstract: A mobile communication system includes a one-way communication system where a wide area base station forms a wide one-way communication area and a two-way communication system having a cellular service area which is formed by a plurality of cell base stations each forming a cellular two-way communication area. A mobile terminal can communicate with the one-way communication system and the two-way communication system. Further, a system controller connected to the one-way communication system and the two-way communication system controls mobile communications in the wide one-way communication area and/or the cellular service area. The system controller transfers data addressed to a mobile terminal to the mobile terminal through a selected one of the one-way communication system and the two-way communication system.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1997Date of Patent: September 12, 2000Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Satoshi Kowaguchi, Hisashi Keirinbou, Takashi Oda, Shinya Usami

Patent number: 5995838Abstract: A mobile communication apparatus includes a wide area receiver and a cell transceiver. The wide area receiver which is operable at relatively low power receives a selective calling signal from a wide area base station that forms a wide one-way communication area. The cell transceiver operable at higher power than the wide area receiver performs two-way communication with a nearest cell base station that forms a two-way communication area. The wide area receiver is caused to operate at all times. However, when the mobile communication apparatus exists outside the wide one-way communication area, the transceiver is caused to start operating.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1997Date of Patent: November 30, 1999Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Takashi Oda, Shinya Usami, Hisashi Keirinbou, Satoshi Kowaguchi
