Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To grasp the fact that a computer is used by any person other than an authorized user. SOLUTION: Since the authorized user himself or herself of a computer system activates a computer at 9:00 on Jun 7 in 2000 and at 8:30 on June 8 in 2000, the information on the activation of the computer at 23:00 on June 7 in 2000 shown by a code 1 suggests that the computer is unauthorized used by a third person other than the user.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To immediately notice the mis-depression of a key in a method for displaying the mouse pointer of a three-key mouse. SOLUTION: Respective detection parts 32-37 detect outer force that a third key receives. A mouse function decision part 38 decides a function allocated to a third key from the outer force detection result. A mouse pointer form determining part 40 determines the form of a mouse pointer, which corresponds to the function, based on the function decision result. The form of the mouse pointer in the middle of display is changed in response to outer force. Since the addition of outer force to the third key can be fed back through eyes, a user can immediately notice the mis-depression of the key.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an input event generating method for enabling a user to easily and accurately select a small object on a display screen and an information terminal equipped with the method. SOLUTION: This method for generating an input event in a picture display system is provided with a display device and a pointing device for pointing an image displayed on the display screen of the display device with a pointer. The method comprises a step for displaying an enlarged display window for enlarging and displaying the prescribed region of the display picture in response to a processing start action in displaying a picture and a step for, when the operation of the pointing device is detected at a first coordinate position on the enlarged display window, generating an input event corresponding to the pointing device operation at a second coordinate position corresponding to the first coordinate position in the prescribed region.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an input method using a pointing device capable or precisely recognizing the latch state of the pointing device and eliminating the erroneous operation in a transition to the latch state, and a portable information terminal equipped with the function thereof. SOLUTION: In this input method using the pointing device, an application is made to recognize the ON state of the pointing device by ON-operation and the OFF state of the pointing device by OFF operation. The input method comprises a step for realizing the latch state for keeping the ON state in the application even if the OFF operation of the pointing device is performed in response to the continuation of the ON operation of the pointing device for a given length of time, and a step for executing a program for making a user recognize the realization of the latch state.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To bring out a function of an information processor to improve the convenience of a user. SOLUTION: This support program supporting operation of the user of the information processor 10 makes the information processor 10 function as a detection means 200 detecting whether settings of input/output devices 40-70 of the information processor 10 are changed within a predetermined reference period or not, and a notification means 210 notifying the user of the effect that the settings of the input/output devices 40-70 are changeable when the settings of the input/output devices 40-70 are not changed within the reference period.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a user easily and quickly to know the function and the operating method of a specific operating means about a help displaying method which displays the functions and operating methods of operating means provided with in electronics on a display screen. SOLUTION: How often a user attempts to operate a specific operating means (center button) among operating means is counted all the time. Then, when the number of operating times of the specific operating means (center button) reaches the number of set times before the user operates another operating means, a help panel explaining the function and operating method of the specific operating means (center button) is displayed.
