  • Publication number: 20200073875
    Abstract: In a requirement analysis apparatus, a connection analysis unit classifies a plurality of requirement items into groups based on connections between requirement items indicated in item connection information. A subsystem analysis unit extracts the number of subsystems that are reached by tracing the connections from each requirement item, based on the connections between the requirement items indicated in the item connection information and based on the connection between each requirement item indicated in the item connection information and each subsystem. A result display unit displays, for each requirement item of the plurality of requirement items, analysis result information which is set with an identifier identifying a group into which the requirement item has been classified, and the number of subsystems being reached by tracing the connections from the requirement item.

  • Publication number: 20200007748
    Abstract: Electronic equipment includes a first operating member having a detecting unit to detect touch and slide operations. Where a detecting unit touch detecting face is touched in the touch operation over a first and a second predetermined area, larger than the first predetermined area, or less, a first function is executed. Where the touch detecting face of the detecting unit is touched in the touch operation over more than the second predetermined area, a second function is executed. The touch detecting face is divided into a first, a second, and a third touch detecting face, in that order in a direction of the slide operation. A relation of 1.4?W1/W2?6.0 is satisfied, W1 represents a length of the touch detecting face in the direction of the slide operation, and W2 represents a length of the second touch detecting face in the direction of the slide operation.

  • Publication number: 20200004360
    Abstract: Electronic equipment includes a first operating unit having a non-electroconductive touch operating surface, a touch detecting surface disposed on a touch operating surface inner side, and an electroconductive outer cover disposed covering a perimeter of the touch operating surface. The first operating unit receives touch operations and slide operations. The touch detecting surface detects the touch operations, is divided into at least two electrode surfaces of a first electrode surface through an N'th electrode surface in a direction of the slide operations, and is electrically insulated from the outer cover by being distanced from the outer cover. The touch operating surface has a touch detection region where the touch operating surface overlaps the touch detecting surface, and a touch-non-detection region disposed on an outer periphery of the touch detection region where the touch operating surface does not overlap the touch detecting surface.

  • Patent number: 10250785
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus capable of performing efficient dissipation of heat generated within the apparatus, thereby making uniform the exterior temperature of the apparatus, without increasing the manufacturing costs and size of the apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes a circuit board having an electric component as a heat source mounted thereon, a thermal connection member forming part of a battery chamber, a heat pipe having one end connected to the electric component and the other end thermally connected to the thermal connection member, and a battery insertion part forming part of the battery chamber. The battery insertion part is disposed closer to a battery insertion port than the thermal connection member is. The battery insertion part is formed of a material lower in thermal conductivity than the thermal connection member.
