Patent number: 7502636Abstract: Disclosed herein is a portable communication terminal wherein: an upper case is connected, at its lower end position, to a lower case so as to be slidable and rotatable about a shaft substantially perpendicular to a display screen of a display portion; the lower case has, on its inner main surface, a main operating portion equipped with various keys; and the display portion, even in a closed state of the upper case, is exposed; a shutter button is disposed on an outer side face of the lower case. The device is designed such that when the shutter button is depressed long in a closed state of the upper case, a shift is made to an imaging mode. The imaging mode allows a user to utilize the display screen of the display portion as a finder and to permit imaging in accordance with the user's operation of the shutter button. The device is also designed such that when the upper case is opened, the imaging operation is inhibited.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2004Date of Patent: March 10, 2009Assignee: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications Japan, Inc.Inventors: Jun Sakuta, Ryosuke Takeuchi, Takeshi Matsuzawa

Publication number: 20080046831Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a user evaluation value table and a display controller portion. In the user evaluation value table, user evaluation values each corresponding to the number of processes of the respective content are stored on a basis of the respective content. When performing display changing of a respective content intended for display on a display portion, the controller portion detects from the user evaluation value table a user evaluation value of a content intended to be graphically displayed on the display portion. Then, the controller portion performs change control to change a display time period for the content intended to be graphically displayed on the display portion in accordance with the detected user evaluation value.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2007Publication date: February 21, 2008Applicant: SONY ERICSSON MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS JAPAN, INC.Inventors: Atsushi Imai, Keiko Hiraoka, Yoshimitsu Funabashi, Mayu Irimajiri, Seiji Muramatsu, Takamoto Tsuda, Takeshi Matsuzawa, Takeshi Tanigawa, Tomoharu Okamoto, Akihiko Adachi, Tatsuhiko Nishimura

Publication number: 20080016451Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a 3D(three dimensional)-matrix arranging portion and a luminance/transmittance display controller portion. When a plurality of contents are list-displayed, the 3D-matrix arranging portion arranges the plurality of contents in a 3D-matrix-like form (“3D-matrix,” hereinbelow) in accordance with predetermined three axes. The 3D matrix includes a plurality of planes each containing a group of contents of the plurality of contents. The luminance/transmittance display controller portion displays on a display portion the respective groups of contents of the plurality of contents arranged in the 3D matrix, in a manner that luminance is gradually reduced in a direction from contents on a front-most plane of the plurality of planes to contents on a rear-most plane, and transmittance is gradually increased in the direction from the contents on the front-most plane to the contents on the rear-most plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2007Publication date: January 17, 2008Applicant: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications Japan, Inc.Inventors: Yoshimitsu Funabashi, Keiko Hiraoka, Mayu Irimajiri, Atsushi Imai, Seiji Muramatsu, Takamoto Tsuda, Takeshi Matsuzawa, Takeshi Tanigawa, Tomoharu Okamoto, Akihiko Adachi, Tatsuhiko Nishimura

Publication number: 20070268309Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a face image extractor portion, a matching image detector portion, a linking processing portion, a communication address information acquiring portion, and a controller portion. The face image extractor portion extracts a face image of a person in a still image content. The matching image detector portion detects from a memory containing or storing face images and communication address information of respective users the matching face image matching with the extracted face image, which has been extracted by the face image extractor portion. When the matching face image matching with the extracted face image, which has been extracted by the face image extractor portion, is detected by the matching image detector, the linking processing portion performs a linking process to link the extracted face image and communication address information corresponding to the extracted face image and stored in the memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2007Publication date: November 22, 2007Applicant: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications Japan, Inc.Inventors: Takeshi Tanigawa, Keiko Hiraoka, Yoshimitsu Funabashi, Mayu Irimajiri, Atsushi Imai, Seiji Muramatsu, Takamoto Tsuda, Takeshi Matsuzawa, Tomoharu Okamoto, Akihiko Adachi, Tatsuhiko Nishimura
