Latest Patents
One of Toshiro Nose's latest patents is a character input device and method. This invention allows users to enter texts, including required messages, using a minimal number of keys, such as those found on a cellular telephone. The design eliminates the need for a conversion table, thereby reducing the number of key operations required. The input characters or strings are determined by the number of operation keys (N) raised to the power of the number of distributed characters (M), including meaningless characters or strings. Character conversion is executed by referencing a dictionary that stores numeric strings and meaningful words.
Another significant patent is a coordinate input device. This device enables the entry of coordinate values by superposing on a display device, such as an LCD or CRT. It consists of a coordinate input section with a first conductive sheet for x-coordinate detection and a second conductive sheet for y-coordinate detection. These sheets are arranged so that their electrodes intersect orthogonally. The device operates in a low power consumption mode, detecting voltage variations to maintain efficiency.
