A wireless data-transferring apparatus performs wireless communication with an information-processing terminal. The data-transferring apparatus includes a unit for receiving broadcast program data, a unit for compression-encoding the broadcast program data received by the receiving unit, and a communications control device. The communications control device is configured to perform data-transfer between an external network and the information-processing terminal, in accordance with requests transmitted by radio signal from the information-processing terminal, and to transmit, by radio signal, data received from the external network and the compression-encoded broadcast program data to the information-processing terminal in a time-divided fashion when the communications control device receives the compression-encoded broadcast program data provided in the apparatus.

When coordinate data are entered from a tablet with a pen, the pen is operated on the tablet while depressing a predetermined key of a keyboard. A signal generated by the depression of the predetermined key is supplied to a keyboard controller. Upon reception of the signal, the keyboard controller stops sending key code data entered from the keyboard to an input/output controller. In this manner, undesirable data entry due to the improper operation of the keyboard is prevented when coordinate data are entered with the pen.

Computer system which inhibits input operation from keyboard when

A computer system having a hibernation-type resume function which is performed by using an HDD. Provided on the hard disk of the HDD are storage area for storing ordinary data. Also provided on the hard disk is a resume storage area which is large enough to save resume data required to perform a resume operation. The resume storage area is controlled by a BIOS provided for performing the resume operation, not by the operating system (OS) of the computer system. The BIOS accesses the resume storage area when the power supply to the system is switched off, thereby saving the resume data in a resume data memory.
