  • Patent number: 9276891
    Abstract: The present invention aims at offering a mobile communication device allowing the user to identify the sender when the user selects or opens a mail in a mail list by outputting an image and music that have been registered to the address book. Accordingly, when a mail is selected in the mail list of the mail box 401, or when a mail is opened and the mail message is displayed, the received mail display control unit 140 searches a mail address of the sender of the received mail in the address book 301. If the image/music data ID information 303(?) that has been registered in association with the sender of the mail address is present in the address book 301, the received mail display control unit 140 reads image data or music data from the image/music information 302 of the information storage unit 100 based on the image-music data ID information 303.

  • Publication number: 20130293597
    Abstract: A technology for reducing the so-called “phosphor burn-in” phenomenon where the variation of luminance arises by reducing display luminance of a certain pixel caused by deterioration in a display apparatus constituted by an organic electro luminescence element is provided. In the display apparatus, when displaying an image acquired by an image acquiring unit, luminance substantially same as average luminance of the acquired image is set to a non-display area where the image is not displayed.

  • Patent number: 8374655
    Abstract: An openable/closable mobile phone has a function of locking external keys disposed on an external surface of a main body of the mobile phone, whereby the lock function can be temporarily cancelled without opening the main body. A user holds down a side key (203) provided on a main body lateral surface (202). When a judging unit (307) detects the hold-down, a temporary cancellation unit (308) instructs a lock unit (306) to temporarily cancel the external key operation disablement setting, and instructs a resumption unit (309) to initiate a timer. The resumption unit (309) initiates the timer, and reinitiates the timer when an external key operation signal is received from an operation unit (305). When a given time period elapses, the resumption unit (309) instructs the lock unit (306) to terminate the temporary cancellation. An opened/closed detection unit (310) detects an opened or closed state of a folding part (103), and notifies the detected state to the lock unit (306).
