摘要:
A pointed-position detecting apparatus where image output unit visually displays an image, and image input unit inputs the displayed visible image. The input visible image is stored into memory as an original image. The visible image is partially changed by using a manipulation device such as a laser pointer or a pointing rod, and the visible image with the partially-changed area is inputted from the image input unit. Controller extract the changed image area from the input visible image, and detects a pointed position based on the changed image area. Thus, the phenomenon where a user's action with respect to a displayed image is reflected as a change in the image is utilized to detect coordinates and motion at the image area as the object of change.

A display method and apparatus for displaying information by projecting a light onto an external projection plane is capable of detecting a deviation amount of a displayed image projected on the projection plane with respect to the display apparatus. Output image data is changed based on the detected deviation amount to offset a distortion of the displayed image, which is displayed using the changed output image data.

An image information transmitting/receiving apparatus for time and cost-saving repetitive transmission. In facsimile communication, image data where further information is added to previously-transmitted image data is often received. In the present apparatus, the original image data is stored, and only difference data from the original image data is transmitted, thus the whole image can be reproduced at the receiving side, using the received difference data. Upon transmitting the difference image information, identification information identifying the difference image information is added to the difference information, and the entire image data to be received by the receiving side is stored. Upon receiving the difference image information, the received difference information is combined with the stored image data, and an image is reproduced based on the combined image data. Further, the image data used for image reproduction is stored as original image data for the next transmission. In this manner, once the original image data is stored, only difference data is sent at each subsequent transmission, thus reducing the amount of transmission data.

An information processing apparatus, which operates in a multi-task mode, calculates a total consumption power of devices used by each task, and assigns higher execution priority to a task which uses a device with the largest consumption power, thereby shortening the execution time of the device with the largest consumption power, and suppressing the total consumption power of the apparatus. When a device is started upon switching of tasks, if the total consumption power exceeds the allowable power of the apparatus by a power consumed upon restarting of the device, the task is set in a waiting state until operations of other devices are completed, the consumption power is lowered, and it is ready to use the device by the task.

Handwritten/input stroke data is compared with a gesture dictionary. If the data coincides with a specific gesture, it is checked whether the gesture is completed, and the stroke data is stored. After the meaning of the gesture command is analyzed by using the gesture dictionary, an image stroke data group which does not coincide with any gesture, and an icon group replacing stroke data which coincides with a gesture appears on the display screen. In this state, when the user taps icons having functions as gestures he/she wants to execute, the corresponding gesture commands are executed.

A power managing apparatus in an electronic apparatus using a battery comprises a residual power quantity detector for detecting a residual quantity of the battery; a time setter for setting a time; a judging unit for judging whether the electronic apparatus can be driven until the set time or not on the basis of the detected residual quantity of the battery; and an alarm display for notifying the result of the judgment. The set time is an operable time of the electronic apparatus or an operable time obtained from the next charging time or can be input by a pen.

An image containing characters and lines, which is inputted by a scanner or the like, is binarized and stored in a memory. A thickening process is repeatedly applied on groups of significant bits stored in the memory, until a predetermined condition is fulfilled. After this process, the thickened image is thinned at least a greater number of times than the number of times the thickening process is repeated in order to eliminate lines. As a result, characters are determined to exist at areas where groups composed of remaining significant dots exist, then characters are separated from the input image based on the areas of groups composed of the remaining significant dots.

A system consisting of a plurality of terminals connected through communication is sometimes used to acquire information input from the terminals to a host terminal and edit/arrange the information in the host terminal when information is exchanged by inputting handwritten characters from the terminals. In this case, the host terminal must recognize the handwritten characters and thereafter process the characters to arrange the handwritten character information. Each terminal can perform character recognition by a unique character recognizing method. The terminals also individually prepare dictionaries for recognition. The host terminal returns the acquired handwritten character information to the terminals and causes the terminals to perform character recognition. Alternatively, the host terminal concentratively manages the character recognizing methods and dictionaries of all the terminals and performs character recognition.

An electronic apparatus comprising a plurality of loads, which are separately driven by a plurality of batteries, further comprises a switching device which automatically changes a system of connection between the batteries and the loads in accordance with the conditions of the electronic apparatus. Such conditions of the electronic apparatus include the remaining capacities of the batteries, load changes in the loads, and temperature changes in the electronic apparatus. An electronic apparatus provided with a system clock generating device and a peak load device comprises a system clock controller which suspends the supply of a system clock or divides the system clock while a peak voltage is being generated. A drive controller changes the connection between the first and second batteries in accordance with detected remaining capacities of the first and second batteries.
摘要:
A hand-held computer with an input pen capable of handwriting recognition. Characters are inputted by a user's manual operation with the input pen on a transparent coordinate input plate in front of a display screen. The computer discriminates pen-input characteristic of the user, and selects a character-recognition dictionary based on the discrimination result.
