An information processing apparatus (100) includes a main unit (110) including a keyboard and having a generally rectangular major surface, and includes a display device (130) including a display screen and having a generally rectangular major surface. A bottom of the major surface of the display device can be selectively placed in a first position in which the bottom extends substantially along a first side of the major surface of the main unit, and a second position in which the bottom extends substantially along a second side of the major surface of the main unit that is substantially perpendicular to the first side. The information processing apparatus (100) further comprises power supply and information communications connectors in the main unit on a third side of the major surface of the main unit that is opposite and substantially parallel to the second side. The connector is connectable through another connector on a car docking station.

A chair having keyboard halves arranged in the armrests. The keys in the keyboard halves can be operated by left and right hands, respectively. The keyboard provided in the chair can be used as a supplemental keyboard in a keyboard system comprising a main keyboard for inputting data to an information processing apparatus. The main keyboard has full keys and the supplemental keyboard has keys identical to at least a part of the keys of the main keyboard for inputting data to the information processing apparatus parallel to the main keyboard. An operator can alternatively use the main and the supplemental keyboard depending on body position.

A communication control method of this invention includes: when a call-in request to a chat for another participant in a voice-based teleconference by a first participant of the voice-based teleconference is received, transmitting the call-in request to the chat to a terminal of another participant; and when a participation response to the chat by another participant is received, carrying out a presence management setting so as to enable the first participant and a participant replying the participation response to update and subscribe dialogue contents of the chat, which are managed as presence data delivered to subscribers when updated. Thus, by using the presence technique, it becomes possible that the conference is shifted from the voice-based teleconference to the character-based teleconference and both of the conferences coexist.

An information processor such that interfaces mounted in the side faces of the main body of the information processor can be effectively used, and the connectability of an expanded device is excellent. The information process comprises a main body having a built-in function unit in its case and an interface unit provided in a side face of the main body. In the side face of the main body in which the interface unit is provided has an interface attachment part to which the interface unit is attached and an expanded device receiving part capable of receiving at least one expanded device. The interface unit has a one-piece appearance integrated with the case of the main body when the interface unit is attached to the interface attachment part. When an expended device is received in the expanded device receiving part, the expanded device is held between the interface unit and the side face of the main body.
摘要:
A backlight device for a transmissive liquid crystal display device includes a plurality of light sources, including a cold cathode fluorescent lamp and an LED, a liquid crystal panel, and a light guide plate. The light guide plate causes light entering into it through one surface thereof to emerge out of another surface thereof toward the liquid crystal panel. A controller for the backlight device selects at least one of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp and LED, depending on brightness required for the liquid crystal display device and determines, in accordance with the required brightness, the brightness of the selected light source to operate the light source accordingly.
