PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sharply display a moving picture on a hold type display device by providing a shutter function in the overlay processor. SOLUTION: A RAM readout circuit 301 reads image data and moving picture data out of an on-screen area 211 and an off-screen area 213 according to horizontal scanning lines, and outputs them to a key color detecting circuit 303 and an overlay selecting circuit 305. A shutter circuit 307 receives a frame timing signal from a VRAM readout circuit 301 and judges which of a black signal and the moving picture data received from the VRAM readout part 301 should be outputted in a frame according to specific frame cycles. In the starting frame cycle, the moving picture data from the VRAM readout circuit 301 are outputted to the overlay selecting circuit 305, so the black signal is outputted to the overlay selecting circuit 5 after a next framing signal is received.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To connect a mobile shopping system in a retail store without changing a conventional POS system at all, thus allowing payment using a POS system in the store, which is required because item information acquired from an item tag is supplied from a store system of the store, for a POS IF.SOLUTION: For a POS IF, if a retail store does not wish to change its store system in order to accept this payment (the change generally involves system integration and thus modification cost), a shopping-payment system may complete the payment by emulating an input directly using HW interfaces, such as a keyboard and a display, of the POS system in the store, although there is limitations in functions.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shopping/settlement management process which promotes utilization of a mobile shopping system by making prizes of manufacturers and retail stores won automatically.SOLUTION: Merchandise information is acquired from a merchandise tag 100 corresponding to the merchandise via a mobile phone 300 and, upon one or more acquisitions, shopping information is generated and transmitted to a shopping/settlement management system 500. In the case it is determined that a merchandise which is a prize object is included in shopping information under settlement which is acquired from the shopping/settlement management system 500, if the conditions specified by prize data match shopping information for the user ID out of said shopping information, a prize system 1600 performs prize processing and prize-winning processing for the prize data, notifies the mobile phone 300 and the shopping/settlement management system 500 of prize-winning, and the shopping/settlement management system 500 performs settlement processing.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide detailed information and personalized information on a merchandise article as additional information on two-dimensional bar cord and IC chip information.SOLUTION: In additional information to shopping information in mobile shopping, merchandise article information 760 is obtained from a merchandise article tag 100 by a mobile phone 300 and stored in the mobile phone by performing a bookmark operation in addition to a purchase operation. At the same time, shopping information 430B is transmitted to a shopping/settlement management system 500 and stored in a bookmark DB 1480 by extracting bookmark information. After that, when shopping information is obtained by reading the bookmark information stored in the mobile phone by allowing a merchandise tag to include a code corresponding to relative merchandise article information (such as promotion and campaign) as additional information 340, relative merchandise article information is also obtained and presented to a client.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To modify a frequency of a video clock, without affecting the quality of display. SOLUTION: A method to decrease the video clock frequency includes steps of: detecting momentum for lowering the video clock frequency; lowering the video clock frequency within a range in which a circuit using the video clock, such as a PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) circuit can track the frequency fluctuation; and repeating the step for lowering the video clock frequency, until the video clock frequency modified with the step reaches a predefined frequency.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To change the frequency of a video clock so as not to affect display quality by providing a step of lowering the frequency of the video clock and a step of repeating this step until the changed frequency of the video clock becomes a prescribed frequency. SOLUTION: First of all, the timing to change the frequency of the video clock (Vclk) is detected (S110). Next, it is judged from the name of an application on a window displayed on a screen whether the frequency of Vclk is changed or not (S120). Next, when changing the frequency of Vclk, there are the cases of increasing and decreasing the frequency and corresponding to the cases, processing is made different (S130). Therefore, it is reported to a user to lower the frequency of Vclk (S140). Then, processing for actually lowering the frequency of Vclk is executed (S150), it is judged whether or not processing is finished and when not finished, it is returned to S110 again (S170).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processing equipment capable of realizing respectively suitable scrolling functions in the vertical and horizontal display modes. SOLUTION: At the time of a vertical display mode, when a rotary switch is operated clockwise, that is upwards along an equipment left side face, contents are scrolled upwards. On the contrary, when the rotary switch is operated counterclockwise, that is downwards along the equipment left side face, the contents are scrolled downwards. On the other hand, at the time of horizontally placing the equipment, the rotary switch is positioned at a lower left corner part. Then, at the time of a horizontal display mode, when the rotary switch is rotated clockwise, that is upwards along the equipment left side face (pertinent to the upper side face at the time of the vertical placement), the contents are scrolled upwards. On the contrary, when the rotary switch is dial- operated counterclockwise, that is downwards along the equipment left side face, the contents are scrolled downwards. The display contents are scrolled as they are by intuitively operating a single rotary switch in either of the vertical/horizontal display modes.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image database device storing images photographed by a lot of freely participating persons for generating a virtual world using the photographed images. SOLUTION: An image database device 1 carries out communication via a network 10 to receive the images photographed by a plurality of users. The received images have photographing positions, which are represented by a common coordinate used among the users, of the images, photographing conditions for photographing the images, and image attributes of the photographed images. Then, the received image is compared with an image stored in association with an area including the photographing position of the received image. As the result of the comparison determination, on condition that the photographing condition lies within a predetermined range and the degree of similarity of images by the determination is out of a predetermined range, the area is divided, and the received images are stored in association with the divided areas for creating an image database.
