Patent number: 7325151Abstract: Disclosed is a program product for directing the information processing apparatus to control an execution mode of a central processing unit(CPU) provided, the CPU having a plurality of execution modes, whose types and power consumptions of executable processing are different from one another, the program product comprising: an apparatus readable medium; recovery time acquisition means for acquiring a recovery time which is a time required for the CPU to recover from a low power mode to a high power mode of which power consumption is higher than that of the low power mode; allowed time acquisition means for acquiring the longest allowed time from a request for processing unprocessable in the low power mode and processable in the high power mode to a start of the processing after the CPU recovers to the high power mode, the request being made by an input/output device; and execution mode setting means for settingthe CPU in a state of being shiftable to the low power mode if it is determined that the CPU is ableType: GrantFiled: February 17, 2005Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Tomoki Maruichi, Yuhko Ohmori, Atsuo Sugiura, Noritoshi Yoshiyama

Patent number: 7119797Abstract: Units are provided for determining whether or not a coordinate input is continued as being substantially the same coordinate and a predetermined time period has lapsed after an initial input of an arbitrary coordinate by a coordinate input unit. A first processing unit performs a first processing in accordance with the coordinate when the determination is not met, and a second processing unit performs a second processing different from the first processing when the determination is met.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2002Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignee: Lenovo Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Seiichi Kawano, Masayoshi Nakano, Yuhko Ohmori

Patent number: 7088344Abstract: Provides control movement of a display area to an image displayed outside a display screen by means of a touch operation using a touch panel in such a general-purpose environment as a desk-top screen of an operating system. In an example embodiment, a data processing apparatus employs a touch panel unit as an input unit. The data processing apparatus includes an operation event detector for detecting an operation preset, to be distinguished from other normal inputs to the panel touch unit; a cursor movement information generator for generating movement information used to move a cursor positioned at the periphery of a display screen to the outside thereof; a cursor movement controller for moving the position of the cursor on a display image according to the generated movement information; and a virtual screen controller for scrolling an item displayed on the display screen according to a cursor movement.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2001Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yasunori Maezawa, Takayuki Akai, Yuhko Ohmori

Patent number: 6903722Abstract: A computer system has a plurality of input pointing devices, such as a mouse, a track ball, a pointing stick, a tablet or a touch screen. Each of the plurality of input devices connected to the computer system has different parameters associated with a double-click operation, which different parameters are stored in separate registers under control of the operating system. Separate device drivers are associated with each input device, each device driver using the associated double-click parameters as stored by the operating system.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2002Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yuhko Ohmori, Takashi Inui

Patent number: 6832354Abstract: A computer system requiring input of a password on startup has an on-screen keyboard generation division for displaying an on-screen keyboard having a predetermined key layout on a touch panel, a keyboard type determination division for determining the key layout of the on-screen keyboard displayed on this touch panel, and a password checking division for processing a password inputted by pointing to the on-screen keyboard displayed on this touch panel. The key layout displayed on the touch panel is determined by a user pressing a particular key on a mechanical keyboard, which identifies which layout is to be displayed on the touch panel.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2001Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Seiichi Kawano, Yuhko Ohmori, Takayuki Akai, Hidetoshi Mori
