Patent number: 7904188Abstract: An output method is changed optimally in response to a difference of a device connected to an output device and a combination of output media streams, and user's convenience is improved. Each of media state sensing unit 15, 25, 35, 45 for sensing a state of a media stream sends out a media state sensing signal to a control portion 90, and each of connection state sensing unit 62, 72, 82 for sensing a connection state between an outputting unit 51 and a providing device, which presents the media stream visually or audibly, sends out a connection state sensing signal to the control portion 90. The control portion 90 decides an output state based on priority output information 931, which specifies a preferential output state of the media stream, the media state sensing signal, and the connection state sensing signal, and then the outputting unit 51 outputs the media stream to the providing device.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2005Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Kouji Hatano, Tetsuya Ushijima

Publication number: 20100187332Abstract: A communication terminal not wastefully exuding aroma depending on the situation and not influencing the ambience of the terminal. The communication terminal (100) detects the situation around the portable terminal body (100B) by means of an aroma sensor (151) of a sensing unit (150), a camera (153), a microphone (154), an optical sensor (155), and a position sensor (156). An exudation/deodorization control section (131) of a control unit (130) makes aroma exudation control of an aroma exuding section (141) according to environment information on the environment of the portable terminal body (100B) detected by the sensing unit (150). With this, according to the situation around the portable terminal body (100B), wasteful exudation of aroma and adverse influence on the ambience of the terminal can be prevented wherever possible.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2007Publication date: July 29, 2010Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventor: Tetsuya Ushijima

Publication number: 20100178211Abstract: A communication terminal device in which a diffusion control of aroma suitable for the situation can be performed. In the communication terminal device (100), according to the diffusion parameter used for diffusing the aroma (or smoke) and predetermined by the user, the state of a mobile terminal body (100B) recognized by a control unit (130) by using the detected information from the sensors of a sensing unit (150), and environment information on the environment around the mobile terminal body (100B), diffusion control of an aroma material (121) from a diffusion apparatus body (100A) is performed by an aroma diffusion section (141) of an indicating unit (140), smoke generation control of a smoke generation material (122) is performed by a smoke generation section (142), and suppression control of the aroma diffusion and the smoke generation is performed by a diffusion suppression unit (110).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2007Publication date: July 15, 2010Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventor: Tetsuya Ushijima

Publication number: 20090143013Abstract: A portable telephone terminal which, even in the case where the life scene of the user is not restricted to the location and the time, automatically performs an incoming call operation depending on the life scene is provided. A portable telephone terminal 1 has: short-range wireless communicating means 30 for obtaining a peripheral-device identifier 301 by wireless from a portable telephone terminal existing at a short distance; communicating means 20 for executing a communicating process, and outputting a calling party identifier 201 which identifies a calling party; and communication operation determining means 40 for determining an operation of the communicating means 20. The communication operation determining means 40 determines the operation of the communicating means 20 on the basis of the peripheral-device identifier 301 and the calling party identifier 201.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2006Publication date: June 4, 2009Applicant: MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Kouji Hatano, Tetsuya Ushijima
