Abstract: A mobile phone unit is provided in which a characteristic of an antenna is improved and SAR is reduced without lowering an antenna gain during communication. An antenna 26 (electrical length ?/4), an antenna connection conductive member 22 (electrical length ?/4) that is a circuit board connected to the antenna 26, an opposite side conductive member 42 that is a circuit board opposed to the antenna connection conductive member 22, and an electric connection portion 24 that electrically connects an edge portion 222, which is on the opposite side to the antenna 26, of the antenna connection conductive member 22 and an opposite side edge portion 422, which is opposed to the edge portion 222, of the opposite side conductive member 42 (electrical length ?/4) are included. A gain on the opposite side to an LCD side casing 4 becomes large when seen from the antenna 26, and the electric currents are counteracted to be small and consequently a gain becomes small on the side of the LCD side casing 4.

Abstract: An image processing system utilizing block selection processing. According to the system, pixel data of an image is input and block selection processing is performed on the input pixel data to determine types of pixels within the image. It is then determined, based on the block selection processing, if a pixel is in an object area of the image and, if the pixel is determined to be in an object area of the image, the pixel is processed. Such processing may include detecting a proximity of the pixel to an edge, detecting a chromaticity of the pixel and detecting a width of a character in which the pixel is included.

Abstract: An image process comprising inputting image data, performing block selection of objects in the input image data, discriminating whether each block of the input image data is character or non-character image data, detecting a feature of each block of the character data without utilizing edge portions of the character data, performing an image process on each block of the character data based on the detected feature of the character data, and performing an image process on the non-character image data, and outputting the processed image data. The detected feature of the character data may be a foreground or background color of the character data. The block selection detects edge portions of the character data and utilizes portions of the character data internal to the edge portions in detecting the feature of the character data.

Abstract: This invention has as its object to perform smooth black color processing of a character, line, and the like and to prevent deterioration of image quality. A character-thickness judgment unit in a black character judgment unit judges the thickness of a character/line image portion in an image on the basis of R, G, and B signals representing an image supplied from a host computer. An edge detection unit obtains edge information of a character/line image, and a saturation judgment unit obtains saturation information thereof. When image processing is performed by combining the edge information and the saturation information, the thickness judgment signal is corrected, so that the thickness of the character or line changes continuously. A UCR unit is arranged to perform black color processing in accordance with the substrate.

Abstract: Black correction to character, lines, and the like, is performed smoothly so as to maintain quality of an image as much as possible. In a character thickness determining circuit 114 of a black character determination unit 113, the thickness of characters and lines are determined based on RGB signals. Further, character/line outline information is obtained at an edge detector 115, and chromaticity information is obtained at a chromaticity determining unit 116. When an image processing is performed based on the combination of the outline information and the chromaticity information, a thickness determination signal is corrected so that the thickness of the character, lines, and like changes continuously.

Abstract: A decrypting compiler that accepts encrypted source code from a software manufacturer, decrypts the encrypted source code into plain text that is not accessible outside the compiler, and compiles the decrypted source code into linkable binary objects. Because the decrypting compiler decrypts the encrypted source code such that the plain text is not accessible outside the compiler, trade secret and proprietary information from the source code is not easily learned by third-party software developers.
