Telephone Equipment Patents (Class D14/240)
  • Patent number: 7668792
    Abstract: A portable terminal device or cellular phone includes a target setting section, a display unit, a focused-state determination section, and a recognition section. The photography-target setting section sets normal photography mode for photographing an image, and OCR mode for photographing a character or bar code. The display unit displays a photographed image, and positioning of an image as a photography target. The focused-state determination section is activated, and determines a focused state of a character or bar code photographed in the OCR mode. The recognition section recognizes the photographed character or bar code, the result of which is displayed by the display unit. Press of a confirmation button initiates a process to communicate with a communications target corresponding to the recognized result. A linking section may link recognition results to form a continuous string.
