A microprocessor used in a pair with a baseband processor for performing the baseband processing, is provided with a central processing unit for calculation processing, a counter capable of measuring time in the calculation processing by the central processing unit, and an interface which enables the baseband processor to read the counter. By making the baseband processor read the counter, the processing by the baseband processor is synchronized with the processing by the central processing unit in the microprocessor. Consequently, it is possible to establish synchronization between video and voice when the video processing and the voice processing are separately performed by different processors.

Microprocessor and mobile communication terminal

An information processing apparatus, such as might be associated with an in-home audio or video control device or a home appliance operated by a user, is provided with input allowing the user to set accuracy of a log of device operation history and/or to set a ratio of disclosure of the log information. A log accumulation control device efficiently collects the log information and offers users diversified levels of accuracy for the log information. In a further configuration, user-designated information acquired form user operation of the device identifies frequency of viewing and listening to each program, and reproduction of contents is controlled as a function of the user-designated information, e.g. to select among common contents and contents of different classification types.

Log accumulation device with user accuracy setting means and pseudo-information generating means

There is disclosed an information reporting system comprising a communication host apparatus including a database storing a plurality of data sets each concerning predetermined position, and a host computer, and at least one portable terminal including a data processing unit for executing predetermined processing based upon data received from a communication unit via a communication networks, and a display unit displaying images obtained by the data processing. The portable terminal further includes a current position detecting unit for detecting its current position, and is adapted to transmit position information data indicative of the current position. The host computer is responsive to read out from the database one of the data sets concerning the position corresponding to the provided position information data and supplies the portable terminal with the data set.

Information reporting system

The icon menu display method and apparatus according to the invention displays a perspective view of a work room over an entire screen as a background against which a plurality of icons are displayed. The icons are arranged against the background image at locations which are functionally related to the functions associated with each icon.
