A data transfer apparatus utilizing infrared rays characterized in that one transmission unit of transmission data formed by combining digital data comprising a bit row represented by two values '0' and '1' into a predetermined format is stored in a transmission buffer, transmission suspension time that should be added after the transmission of the one transmission unit of transmission data from an array of adjacent bit values that constitute the one transmission unit of transmission data is determined, and one transmission unit of transmission data is sent at an interval of the above transmission suspension time.

Data transfer apparatus utilizing infrared rays

An information processing apparatus having a specified-area confirming function comprises a keyboard for inputting information and marking the beginning and end points of a desired area in the information to specify the area; an inputted information memory for storing the information inputted from the keyboard; a display having a screen for displaying on the screen the information stored in the inputted information memory; first line information memory for storing information in the first line of the area when the area is specified by the keyboard; and a processing unit for allocating a fixed screen to a predetermined position on the screen of the display when the area is specified by the keyboard and for reading the information in the first line from the first line information memory and displaying it within the fixed screen.

Information processing apparatus having a specified-area confirming

A character processor for reading a source character from a character generator and outputting it to an output unit after editing. It is provided with a dot pattern correcting function, which includes generating a magnified thick character by magnifying the read souce character pattern. It further includes generating a magnified character contour outline by magnifying the read source character pattern in parallel with the magnified thick character generation, shifting the magnified blanked character in predetermined directions, synthesizing the magnified thick character and the shifted magnified blanked character, removing a domain surrounded by a contour of the magnified blanked character from the magnified thick character, thereby generating a magnified blanked character with a thick contour.
