  • Patent number: 12124695
    Abstract: A mobile terminal device includes a display section having a display screen, an input section having a touch input region on the display screen, and a control section for displaying a plurality of keys. The display screen is provided as a software keyboard where a touch operation on a specific key causes an input of the specific key. In the specific display region on the display screen that can display operation keys on the software keyboard, the control section selects these keys from a previously prepared set of input candidate key groups. In response to a specific operation on the specific display region, the control section allows the plurality of keys to be displayed on the specific display region. In response to touch on a desired key in the specific display region, the control section determines that an input of the key has been performed.

  • Publication number: 20240282359
    Abstract: A memory includes a cell array including first and second sub arrays including memory cells and simultaneously driven in a read or a write operation. First lines are connected to the cells corresponding to one of physical rows, where the physical row is the cells arranged in a first direction in the cell array. Second lines are connected to the cells arranged in a second direction intersecting with the first direction in the cell array. A decoder selects a selection line from among the first lines in accordance with a logical row address corresponding to each of the physical rows and applies a read voltage or a write voltage to the selection line. A sense amplifier detects data from the second lines. Logical row addresses corresponding to physical rows adjacent to a certain physical row among the physical rows differ between the first sub array and the second sub array.
