Abstract:
An e-mail sending/receiving system is furnished with a host computer having a storage section for storing mails, a first control device for extracting the mails to be sent to a terminal in accordance with priorities assigned to the mails. Thus, the user can receive mails with higher priorities, such as urgent or important mails, in a secure manner without worrying about an available memory capacity of the terminal.
Abstract:
A data receiving apparatus in which mail from a sender for which a secret setting is made cannot be directly confirmed. In this data receiving apparatus, when a password is not inputted or when an incorrect password is inputted by a user when a display is in a state of password input screen, the display indicates only a received mail list for mails from persons who are identified by personal data sets stored in advance which do not have a secret flag. The display also indicates the number of all the mail data sets, including the mail data sets from persons for which the secret flag is set.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus having a main body and a lid body is configured so that the lid body can be switched between a closed state, a stacked state, a double screen state and an inverted state. Each of the main body and the lid body has a display section for displaying information and an input section composed of a transparent tablet and provided on the display section. As a sensor or the like detects the lid body in one of the four states, a control section of the information processing apparatus controls the display section so that a screen on the display section is appropriate to the detected state of the lid body. The control section also controls the lighting section for lighting the display section appropriately to the detected state of the lid body. This realizes appropriate display in accordance with usages of the information processing apparatus and offers an easy-to-operate and easy-to-use information processing apparatus. Besides, the lighting section is turned on/off according to needs, and therefore it is possible to prevent heat generation and to restrain power consumption.
Abstract:
In a data processing device into which drawings can be inputted by, for example, touching a pen to the surface of a touch panel, in a draw mode, during inputting of a drawing, each line of the drawing is inputted and displayed in a different color. Then, in an erase mode, after designating the color of a line to be erased, the line to be erased is traced with the pen. By this means, even if a line to be erased is displayed so as to overlap with a line not to be erased, it is possible to erase only the line to be erased.
Abstract:
When a user places his finger on a fingerprint detecting section, in the fingerprint detecting section, a shadow made by the finger placed on the fingerprint detecting section is detected by a sensor portion, and then, when it is judged that a shape of the detected shadow coincides with a distribution of the shadow made by the user's finger, and thereby, a power is turned on. Thereafter, a fingerprint is detected from the finger placed on the fingerprint detecting section, and then, the detected fingerprint is collated with a previously stored fingerprint data so as to identify the user. Further, it is possible to use various data such as schedule data corresponding to the identified user. Therefore, this dispenses an operation for turning on the power and an instruction for starting fingerprint collation.
Abstract:
A character recognition device which is provided with: a character cut-out section for cutting out a character from the character image that has been obtained by the CCD; a character-size storing section for storing at least one character size among character sizes required for recognition each of which is set for each of character types that can be recognized by the recognizing section; a size-judging section for comparing the size of the character that has been cut out by the character cut-out section with at least one of character sizes that have been stored in the character-size storing section; and, for example, a display section that serves as informing means for informing information corresponding to results obtained by comparing the size of the character that has been cut out by the character cut-out section with at least one of character sizes that have been stored in the character-size storing section by using the size-judging section. Before a character in the character image obtained by the CCD is recognized by the recognition section, it is possible to make a judgment as to whether or not the character is recognizable.
Abstract:
An information processor having a scheduling function according to the present invention includes an input device, a memory for storing elementary item schedules, a RTC for generating time and date information, a CPU for detection for detecting a predetermined period based on the time and the date information generated by the RTC, a display for automatically displaying a list of the elementary item schedules stored in the memory at every predetermined period detected by the CPU for detection, and a selecting device for selecting a desired schedule from the list of the elementary item schedules displayed by the display device.
Abstract:
A schedule-managing apparatus is capable of moving or copying a schedule to another date, for example, to another month than that displayed on a display section, at the time when a starting date is stored in a storing portion. A schedule-managing apparatus includes a control device for holding schedule information, stored in a storing portion as it is, while renewing stored data information according to inputted coordinates, when a user is inputting coordinates in a calendar display region by altering the coordinates successively. It further includes a scroll indication window provided adjacent to a display screen of a display portion. Finally, another control device is included for scrolling a displayed content of the display portion when the coordinate of the scroll indication window is inputted via a coordinate input device.
Abstract:
A PC is comprised of a processing device 1 which performs processings such as converting manipulated data into a human-comprehensible format or data updating according to entered information, a display device 3 which presents information such as images and sounds to the user, a storage device 4 which stores data temporarily converted into information such as data to be handled, images and sounds, and a connection device 5 which establishes connection with other PCs and PDAs via a connection medium such as the Internet or a USB cable. This configuration allows transfer of application data by a program capable of manipulating such data after its conversion into basic data and allows application data to be manipulated (worked with) even on PDAs lacking means for directly handling application data.
Abstract:
A memory card on which a key symbol is printed is provided, which comprises a first memory for storing an image pattern corresponding to the key symbol and output for selectively outputting the image pattern from the first memory in accordance with an input system of a memory card terminal in which the memory card is set.
