Abstract: A cordless handset receives status information from two or more base units indicating at least one of a waiting status and a non-waiting status. The non-waiting status may further include an internal-line-call status and/or an external-line-call status. The cordless handset may display the status information on a display with the status information corresponding to the base units.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus including: a battery; a notification unit; a storage unit that stores a reference charging time and a reference battery voltage which are values according to charging characteristics of the battery and are used as determination reference values to determine whether or not the battery is normally charged; a charged state determination unit that determines whether or not the charging voltage is applied to the battery; a voltage detection unit that detects a voltage of the battery; and a notification control unit that controls the notification unit to make a notification indicating an abnormal state, when the voltage of the battery detected by the voltage detection unit does not reach the reference battery voltage, even though a condition where the charged state determination unit determines that the charging voltage is applied to the battery continues for the reference charging time.

Abstract: A battery remaining display apparatus including: a battery capable of being charged and discharged; a use history storage unit that stores use history information about the battery; a characteristic information storage unit that stores characteristic information about the battery; a battery remaining estimation unit that estimates a remaining amount of the battery based on the use history information stored by the use history storage unit and the characteristic information stored by the characteristic information storage unit; and a display unit that displays the remaining amount of the battery estimated by the battery remaining estimation unit.

Abstract: A communication system, having a base unit, which is communicably connected to an external communication device, and at least one extension unit, which is communicable with the base unit and with the other extension unit and the external communication device via the base unit, is provided. The base unit includes an information collecting system to collect information of the at least one extension unit in the communication system. The at least one extension unit includes an information obtaining system to obtain the information from the base unit and an indicating system to indicate presence and communication status of each of the at least one extension unit in the communication system based on the obtained information individually on an extension unit basis.

Abstract: A telephone equipment having a main apparatus and a plurality of cordless handsets, which can perform an extension communication with being relayed by the main apparatus. Such a telephone equipment includes a line holding system that holds a connection between the main apparatus and the outside apparatus, an extension communication detecting system that detects start of the extension communication when the communication with respect to the outside apparatus is being held, a timer that measures a time period elapsed from the start of the extension communication, and a notification system that causes at least one of the cordless handsets performing the extension communication to perform a notifying operation when the time period measured by the timer exceeds a predetermined time period.

Abstract: In a cordless apparatus, a main device and an additional device each has a communication unit that is capable of selecting a radio channel used for radio communication from a plurality of radio channels of which frequencies are different from each other. The main device has a transmittance control unit that transmits radio signals intermittently from the communication unit of the main device during standby of the additional device, and changes the radio channel on every transmittance of the radio signals. The additional device has a signal strength detection unit that detects a signal strength of the radio signal when the radio signal transmitted from the main device is received by the communication unit of the additional device during standby of the main device, and a notification unit that notifies the signal strength of the radio signal detected by the signal strength detection unit.

Abstract: An additional device for a cordless telephone set, including: a communication unit that makes radio communication with a main device; a communication control unit that decides a radio channel for communication available to transmit and receive a signal to or from the main device; a display unit that displays information; a signal strength detection unit that periodically detects a signal strength of a radio signal received from the main device by the communication unit; a signal strength estimation unit that estimates a current signal strength of the radio signal from the main device, based on plural signal strengths acquired before; and a display control unit that displays a communication status with the main device on the display unit, based on the signal strength estimated by the signal strength estimation unit.

Abstract: A battery remaining display apparatus including: a battery capable of being charged and discharged; a use history storage unit that stores use history information about the battery; a characteristic information storage unit that stores characteristic information about the battery; a battery remaining estimation unit that estimates a remaining amount of the battery based on the use history information stored by the use history storage unit and the characteristic information stored by the characteristic information storage unit; and a display unit that displays the remaining amount of the battery estimated by the battery remaining estimation unit.

Abstract: A text processing apparatus has a row of characters formed by adding a predetermined expansion space after each character or notation of an entered textual data constituted by characters, notations and the like. In setting the starting position for printing the row of characters formed at a predetermined position, the starting position of the row of characters is obtained by deleting the expansion space added after the last entered character of the row of characters formed. In this text processing apparatus, the row of charactres formed can be printed in an intended position both when a centering mode is selected, in which the row of character including the added expansion spaces are arranged in the center of a line, and when a right margin flush mode is selected, in which the row of characters are arranged flush to the right margin of a line and printed in this arrangement.

Abstract: In order to print well balanced underlines under a character string printed at an expanded print pitch, the disclosed printing apparatus comprises an expanded pitch setting means for setting an expanded pitch mode for providing an expanded space corresponding to a predetermined times of set print pitch between neighboring characters, and an underline print control means for controlling to print one or more underline in the expanded space between a preceding printed character and a succeeding character to be printed, when the data of the succeeding character is entered in both of the underline mode and the expanded pitch mode.
