  • Patent number: 8499234
    Abstract: A spatial bulletin board system for virtually writing a memo in an actual space and displaying the memo superimposed on a picked-up image of the actual space. The system includes an input device that converts drawing movement during the creation of content in an actual space to three-dimensional coordinate information and acquires positional information which specifies a place in which the memo is written and saves the information in a spatial communication server. In the image-pickup place, the picked-up image is displayed on a spatial bulletin board display device and a browsing request is sent to the spatial communication server.

  • Publication number: 20110237293
    Abstract: A mobile phone 10 includes an input section 18 that receives a call initiation instruction for a call with another mobile phone M, a speaker 14 that outputs sound from another mobile phone M at the time of the call, a detection section 20 that is arranged in the vicinity of the speaker 14 and detects the distance to a user U, a determination section 22 that determines that a motion to start the call has been made by the user U when the distance detected by the detection section 20 becomes shorter than a predetermined distance after the call initiation instruction is received by the input section 18, and a control section 26 that performs call initiation processing on another mobile phone M on the basis of the call initiation instruction received by the input section 18 when the determination section 22 determines that the motion to start the call has been made.

  • Publication number: 20080248831
    Abstract: When a mobile terminal is brought close to an external R/W, a FeliCa chip in the mobile terminal detects an information signal via a communication section. A header identifying section identifies a header of the information signal received via the communication section, and when Felica content is included in the information signal, stores the FeliCa content in the FeliCa ship. Based on a control signal, a FAM refers to a table, and instructs the representation corresponding to the FeliCa content to a mobile terminal OS. According to the instruction from the FAM, the mobile terminal OS performs the representation using a speaker, lamp, display and/or vibrator.

  • Publication number: 20080235570
    Abstract: A spatial bulletin board input device converts a movement of drawing a memo content in an actual space to three-dimensional coordinate information and acquires positional information which specifies a place in which the memo is written and saves the information in a spatial communication server. In the image-pickup place in the actual space, the picked-up image in the actual space is displayed on a spatial bulletin board display device and a browsing request is sent to the spatial communication server. The spatial bulletin board display device acquires the three-dimensional coordinate information and the memo positional information of the memo content near the image-taking place from the spatial communication server and displays the memo content on the picked-up image.
