  • Patent number: 8903666
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a simple way of measuring the local average absorbed power of a radio device having a plurality of antennas. A local average absorbed power measuring method of the present invention has an individual measurement step and a calculation step. In the calculation step, local average absorbed power candidates are obtained while weights are being varied. In a local average absorbed power candidate calculation sub-step, the absorbed power distribution in three-dimensional space is calculated from the combined electric field or combined magnetic field obtained in the combination sub-step, and a local average absorbed power candidate is obtained. In a local average absorbed power selection step, the highest one of the local average absorbed power candidates is specified.

  • Patent number: 8805432
    Abstract: The transmission power is decreased in an appropriate manner, while suppressing the deterioration of the line quality to the minimum. A mobile communication terminal 1 controls the transmission power in response to a request given from a base transceiver station 2. When an average transmission power Wa that is an average value of the transmission power in a monitoring period Ta is smaller than a threshold value TH, mobile communication terminal 1 continuously controls the transmission power in response to the request given by the base transceiver station 2. When the average transmission power Wa in the monitoring period Ta is equal to or greater than the threshold value TH, the transmission power is controlled in a transmission power suppressing period Tb that follows the monitoring period Ta so that the average value of the transmission power becomes equal to or smaller than the threshold value in a control period Tc including the monitoring period Ta and the transmission power suppressing period Tb.

    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a simple way of measuring the local average absorbed power of a radio device having a plurality of antennas. A local average absorbed power measuring method of the present invention has an individual measurement step and a calculation step. In the individual measurement step, the amplitude and phase of the electric field or magnetic field of each one of the plurality of antennas are measured. In the calculation step, local average absorbed power candidates are obtained while weights are being varied. More specifically, in a combination sub-step, given weights are applied to the amplitudes and phases of the electric fields or magnetic fields of the individual antennas, obtained in the individual measurement step, and the results are combined.

  • Patent number: 7538771
    Abstract: A mail server extracts a character unregistered in a portable terminal from received mail data and affixes the font data of the character concerned to the mail data or inserts a reading tag indicating the reading (pronunciation) of the character concerned into the mail data. The portable terminal additionally registers the font data affixed to the mail data into a font database before the received mail data are displayed. Furthermore, in the display processing of the mail data, a character for which the corresponding font data is unregistered is replaced by a no-font symbol and then displayed. Furthermore, the font of each character constituting the reading tag is read out and this font is displayed subsequently to the no-font symbol.
