Abstract:
A search keyword input device includes multiple keyword type selection keys for showing multiple keyword types for the purpose of distinguishing and narrowing down multiple search keywords so as to be selectable, and used for selection of the multiple keyword types, a display unit which corresponds to the multiple keyword type selection keys, and which displays multiple selecting notification display elements for the purpose of notifying that the multiple keyword types are selected, and a control unit for controlling the selecting notification display elements corresponding to the keyword type selection keys to be displayed on the display unit as instructed when the keyword type selection key for selection of the keyword type is instructed.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus, having functions on which use limitations can be imposed, in which a variety of functions are loaded on the electronic apparatus by hardware circuitry or by computer programs. Use of a certain function(s) is limited by setting a function limiting flag to “1”, provided that an other function(s) are usable within a period of a preset number of days of possible test use. An application is made from the apparatus to a key issuing source for purchasing usable functions. The key issuing source then issues a limitation removing key. The limitation removing key may be acquired from the key issuing source by a mobile phone terminal and transmitted to the apparatus by infrared ray communication. The apparatus rewrites the function limiting flag by this limitation removing key. If the number of days of actual test use has reached the number of days of possible test use, the CPU of the apparatus does not carry out the function(s) the function limiting flag of which is “1”.
Abstract:
A playback apparatus can communicate with a second server, which temporarily stores in a first buffer compressed digital data that is received from a first server, and when the first buffer has stored a first data volume of the compressed digital data, which is a volume that is sufficient for a decoding of the compressed digital data, reads the compressed digital data out of the first buffer and decodes it into decompressed digital data. The playback apparatus includes a second buffer, which temporarily stores the decompressed digital data that is received from the second server; a D/A conversion portion (340), which converts into analog data the decompressed digital data that is temporarily stored in the second buffer; and a notification information generation portion (370), which generates notification information that conveys storage statuses of the first buffer and the second buffer.

Abstract:
An apparatus for replaying a disc-shaped recording medium such as a video CD on which first video data into which all of audio data or video information for one frame is compressed as well as second video data into which video information for frames located before and after the frame in question is recorded together with address data, and discrimination data for discriminating between menu data and recorded data is also recorded. The replay apparatus includes a replay section, an input section, a memory and a controller. The replay section loads the disc-shaped recording medium therein and replays the loaded disc-shaped recording medium. The controller, when the input section is operated while the replay section is executing the operation of replaying the disc-shaped recording medium, allows replay start position data to be produced on the basis of at least address data of the recording medium at the time of operating the input section and also allows the produced replay start position data to be stored in the memory together with the discrimination data of the recording medium.
