Abstract: The present invention provides a device and a method for displaying appropriately on the display area for each processing unit such as an application according to the applied equipment. The CPU 12 processes display area acquisition requests from a plurality of processing units R1-Rn according to a display management program. The display management program decides whether use of the display area is allowed to each processing unit, considering the relationship of the plurality of display areas requested from each processing unit R1-Rn. Each processing unit R1-Rn executes display processing for the display area for which use is allowed. In this way, whether use is allowed is notified from the display management program to each processing unit R1-Rn after each processing unit R1-Rn sends the display area acquisition request. As a consequence, display in a plurality of areas by each processing unit R1-Rn can be controlled appropriately.

Abstract: To provide a device capable of determining a delivery destination of an event automatically without requiring choosing operation of an operator. An event entered through an event input means 4 is given to a delivery destination determining means 6 which in turn determines to which of applications AP1, AP2, . . . , APn the given event is to be delivered according to the contents of the event and according to delivery destination determining information stored in a delivery destination determining information storing section, and delivers accordingly. Therefore, the event is delivered to an appropriate application even if the operator does not choose an addressed application.

Abstract: A program reception apparatus is provided. A first receiving unit receives a program sent via a first transmission path to a receiver group made up of a plurality of program reception apparatuses. A second receiving unit receives a program sent via a second transmission path different with the first transmission path to a part of the receiver group. A controlling unit controls so that one of the first and second receiving unit receives a program at one time. When the program received under the control of the controlling unit is accompanied with switch information for specifying a program to be received by the other receiving unit, an extracting unit extracts the switch information. When the switch information is extracted by the extracting unit, a switching unit switches reception to the program specified by the switch information.

Abstract: A washing process control procedure displayed as a mark is read and its content is interpreted. After this, washing processes are automatically controlled in accordance with the interpreted washing process control procedure. As a result, a most suitable washing method can be achieved in accordance with the washing agent used and the garment to be washed.

Abstract: A hydraulic servo actuator has an outer case, a rotatable shaft extending through the case, an input sleeve rotatably mounted on the shaft and having hydraulic fluid supply and discharge passages therein and having surface grooves communicating with the passages, an output member on the shaft and movably abutting the input sleeve and having fluid supply and discharge passages therein and having surface grooves communicating with the passages and being opposed to corresponding grooves on the input sleeve, the outer casing and the output member defining an actuating chamber therebetween into which the passages in the output member open; the actuating chamber is shaped for causing the output member and the outer case to rotate relatively and rotate the shaft and case relatively when fluid supplied into the chamber from the passages under control of relatively rotation of the input and output members creates an unbalanced pressure on parts of the actuating chamber.
