A television () includes: an image data receiving section () for receiving, from the outside, image data storing therein process specifying information; and a controlling section () for controlling an image processing section () so as to carry out a process specified by the process specifying information stored in the received image data. Thus, it is possible to cause the television () to carry out the desired process by causing the television () to receive the image data including the process specifying information for specifying the process which should be carried out by the television ().

Operating system that includes an image data receiving device and an operation device for processing image data sets

An infrared communication apparatus and method enabling data communication with a receiving device, regardless of a protocol with which the receiving device is compatible. A transmitting unit transmits a first packet to inquire whether a receiving device is compatible with a first protocol and transmits a second packet to inquire whether the receiving device is compatible with a second protocol, to the receiving device at least once, and transmits a plurality of third packets to inquire whether the receiving device is compatible with a third protocol, to the receiving device. A receiving unit receives a response packet indicating a protocol with which the receiving device is compatible, from the receiving device having received the first packet, the second packet, and the plurality of third packets. A data transmitting unit transmits data to the receiving device, based on the protocol indicated by the response packet received by the receiving unit.

Infrared communication apparatus and infrared communication method

A communication apparatus () is a primary station for communicating with a secondary station, and includes: a first protocol control section () for transmitting, at a time when communication connection is to be established with the secondary station, (i) a station discovery command with which to confirm a presence of the secondary station, and (ii) a first connect request command, after the station discovery command is transmitted, so as to carry out connection processing; second protocol control means () for transmitting, at a time when communication connection is to be established with the secondary station, a second connect request command so as to carry out connection processing; and a protocol switching section () for (i) causing the first protocol control section () to initially transmit the station discovery command, and in a case where a response to the station discovery command has not been received after an elapse of a predetermined time since the station discovery command was transmitted, (ii) causing the second protocol control section () to transmit the second connect request command.

Communication apparatus, communication method, communication circuit, mobile phone, program, and computer readable recording medium with program recorded therein

A character display apparatus with an attribute management unit for storing an attribute of a used font, a raster image storage unit for storing a raster image of the used font, and an image position management unit for storing a storage position of each raster image in the raster image storage unit in correspondence with each attribute of the attribute management unit. The character display apparatus also includes a judgment unit for judging whether a raster image of a character to be displayed is stored in the raster image storage unit or not, by referring to the attribute management unit and the image position management unit. The character display apparatus is further provided with a display unit for displaying an image of the character by use of the raster image in the raster image storage unit, in case that the raster image is stored therein.

Character display apparatus for displaying multiple-font characters with

An apparatus for editing documents input from an input device, capable of reducing a process time of renewing the documents to be displayed on a display device and capable of increasing a displaying speed of the renewed documents during an editing process includes a document storing unit for storing document data, a text-layout information storing unit for storing text-layout information separately in accordance with a preceding time and a succeeding time with respect to an editing operation, the text-layout information indicating positions of the document data on the display device at a time when the document data are displaying, a display image storing unit for storing image data, the image data being used for displaying the document data stored in the document storing unit on the display device in accordance with the text-layout information in the preceding time stored in the text-layout information storing unit, an editing unit for producing the text-layout information in the succeeding time from the text-layout information in the preceding time stored in the text-layout information storing unit and the document data stored in the storing unit in accordance with an indication input from the input device, and a processing unit for renewing the image data stored in the display image storing unit in accordance with a process of redisplaying characters and a process of transmitting the image data.
