摘要:
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 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 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 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.
摘要:
An electronic information apparatus for receiving information input in a plurality of formats and receiving a particular category of information capable of being registered in at least two corresponding formats includes a coordinate input apparatus for inputting information containing the particular category of information and a discriminator, for identifying one of the formats, associated with the particular category of information, a detector for detecting the discriminator, an extractor for extracting the particular category of information associated with the discriminator from the input information, and a memory for registering the extracted particular category of information in the format identified by the discriminator detected by the detector and for registering the particular category of information in another corresponding format.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a character input apparatus and method which pairs the title of a heading to the region where a character is inputted and determines the character group which can be inputted into the region corresponding to the heading as input candidate characters. When a character is inputted in the region, the heading in that region is discriminated and the characters are recognized referring to the input candidate character group corresponding to the title of the heading.
