A portable terminal includes a device body, a grip section located closer to a first end than to a second end of the device body, and a projecting section located closer to the second end than to the first end of the device body. An operation switch is provided between the projection section and the first end of the device body. The operation switch includes a pressing surface that is at an angle with respect to a thickness direction of the device body to face outward from the device body and in a direction toward the second end of the device body. The grip section includes a sloped surface provided between the operation switch and the first end of the device body. And the sloped surface faces away from a direction faced by the pressing surface of the operation switch.

Portable terminal

A portable terminal including a grip section provided as one end of a terminal main body and capable of being gripped by one hand of a user in a gripping style where the user places the thumb on a first surface of the terminal main body and holds a second surface on the rear side thereof by the index and middle fingers, in which the second surface has a first raised portion provided such that a first vertex portion is positioned between the index and middle fingers, and a second raised portion having a second vertex portion such that the index finger is interposed between the first and second vertex portions, and in which a switch section is provided such that a pressing target portion is exposed to a sloped surface area of the second raised portion on a side opposite to a side where the index finger is positioned.

Portable terminal, imaging device and reading device

A terminal structure in which a groove extending in a predetermined direction is provided in a contact target section with which a tip portion of a contact pin comes in contact, and the tip portion slides on an edge of the groove along the groove by a pressing force occurred when the tip portion is butted against the contact target section so as to come in contact with the contact target section.

Terminal structure, portable terminal and manufacturing method of terminal section

A portable terminal including a grip section capable of being gripped by a hand of a user in a predetermined gripping style, a first switch section provided such that at least a pressing target portion is exposed from a first surface of a terminal main body and capable of being operated by an index finger of the hand of the user gripping the grip section in the gripping style, and a second switch section provided such that at least a pressing target portion is exposed from a second surface of the terminal main body positioned opposite to the first surface and capable of being operated by a thumb of the gripping hand of the user in the gripping style, in which the pressing target portion of the first switch section is set to require operating force greater than operating force required for the pressing target portion of the second switch section.

A portable terminal including a grip section provided as one end of a terminal main body and structured to be gripped by one hand in a gripping style where a user places a thumb of the one hand on a first surface of the terminal main body and holds a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface by at least an index finger and a middle finger extended from a side of the terminal main body, a raised portion provided on the second surface of the grip section such that a vertex portion is positioned between the index finger and the middle finger in the gripping style, and a switch section provided such that a pressing target portion is exposed in a sloped surface area of the raised portion where the index finger is positioned in the gripping style.

A portable terminal including a battery accommodating section having an opening for battery insertion and removal which is provided at a position shifted to one end of a terminal main body on a predetermined surface of the terminal main body, a battery cover for covering the opening, and a switch section provided closer to an other end of the terminal main body than the battery accommodating section, on the predetermined surface of the terminal main body, in which the battery cover is provided extending from the one end to a position beyond the switch section.

An electronic apparatus of the present invention includes an apparatus body which is provided with an operation section, and a tray member which is slidably provided on the apparatus body and projects from a rear surface of the apparatus body on a side opposite to an operation side of the operation section so that a written announcement can be posted.

Electronic apparatus and electronic register

A board connection structure including a wiring board having a contact point section provided at one end portion and opposed to a switch button, and a holding member to which the wiring board is attached with flat surfaces of the contact point section and the connection section on the same surface intersecting with each other by the folding of the wiring board.

Board connection structure and electronic device

To provide a system and a method for providing information and a recording medium, by which communications cost and network traffic are reduced in a system which provides a plurality of pages including successive contents via a communication network. A story provider sitegenerates user ID for identifying a reader terminaland reader information which includes information representing a last page, and transmits web page data segments based on the reader information together with the user ID to the reader terminalconcerned. The reader terminalrequests the pages with transmitting the user ID. The story provider sitetransmits web page data segments based on the reader information corresponding to the returned user ID. The story provider siteupdates the reader information based on the transmitted web page.

System and method for providing information, and recording medium

A home page updating notification apparatus is provided for avoiding useless access operations for accessing the same content of home page several times, so that updated necessary information opened in home pages can be effectively acquired. A home page formed in a home page forming apparatus and then transferred is written into a home page storage portion of a memory, so that updating of this home page is detected. When updating of this home page is detected, a document of an electronic mail, and an address of a transmission destination of this electronic mail are read which have been previously stored. Then, an electronic mail is formed based on the read document and the read address, and the formed electronic mail is transmitted to an address of a transmission destination. As a result, a user of a terminal allocated to this address can be notified by such a fact that the home page is updated by observing the electronic mail.

Data processing apparatus with communication function

Data output apparatus registers special format data added to specific character data together therewith in a registered word memory. When sentence data is read out from a sentence memory, the character data included in the sentence data and coinciding with the specific character data is automatically printed with the special format data.

Text processing apparatus

A computer is arranged to operate in either a table mode, or a program language mode that can be selected during the table mode by appropriate switching to form a table. In the program language mode, a program is written in suitable language and is run. In the table mode, a table is formed by entering table format data and table item data, without program writing. When the table mode is selected, a table managing section requests a program language-managing section to supply item data obtained by running the program, and the supplied item data is used to complete the table.
