  • Patent number: 7616261
    Abstract: A communication terminal apparatus (1) includes a first casing (41) and a second casing (42) which are foldably connected to each other and have a photographic lens (31) and a display device (18) which is visible in a same field of view as the lens. A user can photograph himself/herself while verifying his/her photographed image by means of the display device, and thus is able to gain an anticipated image composition easily, and therefore reduce unsuccessful photographs. The photographed image is displayed as a mirror image, so that the user can verify the image as if looking in to an ordinary mirror, without experiencing any awkwardness.

  • Patent number: 5138384
    Abstract: An electrophotographic copying machine includes a mouse connected to a main unit to input positional information for editing. When the mouse is moved on an original for editing, pulses are generated from the mouse according to a rotation of a roller, which are counted by a counter of a microcomputer. A count value of the counter is utilized as positional data. In order to display a copy quantity, there is provided a segmental display. In the editing mode, a predetermined segment of the segmental display is selectively lightened so as to display the states of sequential position designations by the mouse. Therefore, it is possible to visibly confirm the state of the position designations for editing.

  • Patent number: 5111252
    Abstract: An electrophotographic copying machine includes a paper feeding tray and a paper discharging tray respectively attached to both end surfaces of a body, each of which has a first, a second and a third tray plates which are rotatably connected to each other. When the machine is not used, the first, second and third tray plates are contained in the body in a state where the same are collapsed and folded over each other and, when the machine is used, the first, second and third tray plates are withdrawn and developed. A plurality of ribs which are extended in a paper feeding direction are on one upper surface of the first plate attached to the body in a rotatable manner, and a plurality of through holes, or slits, which receive the ribs when the first, second and third tray plates are collapsed are formed on the second and third tray plates.
