    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform the translation based on the language corresponding to the position of a user. SOLUTION: When a voice translation program is activated in a step S1, a control part reads the language (1st language) to be used by the user out of a user information storage part and notifies a voice translation part of the language in a step S2. In a step S3, the control part controls a position detection processing control part to detect the position of a portable electronic dictionary 1. In a step S4, the control part refers to a language information storage part to detect the language information stored in response to the position of the dictionary 1 that is detected in the step S3 to decide a 2nd language for the translation processing and to notify the voice translation part of the 2nd language. If the position of the dictionary 1 is included in a territory of America or England, for example, the language information indicating the English is detected and the 2nd language is decided as English.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To display a more correct position of a driver's own vehicle by correcting the coordinate position of the vehicle when the detected coordinates of the vehicle has an error of a prescribed value or above from the coordinates of a position obtained from a position evaluation signal received from outside. CONSTITUTION:The coordinates of a starting place are set in a detector 1 of the coordinates of a driver's own vehicle by a coordinates-setting switch 2. Based on data from a vehicle speed sensor 3 and an azimuth sensor 5, the present position is calculated by the detector 1. When a position detected from self-navigation is apart in a relatively large degree from an actual running point, a coordinate position indicated by a coordinate information supplied to a coordinate error decision circuit 10 from a decoder 9 and the coordinate position detected from the self-navigation by the detector 1 are judged to be apart from each other by a distance of 20m or above, for instance, in a straight line, and the detected coordinates from the self-navigation are judged to have a large error. Accordingly, the coordinate position indicated by the information supplied from the decoder 9 is judged to be more correct and this coordinate position obtained from the reception is set as the present point in the detector 1.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To expand the service area (or communication range) and to improve the S/N by calculating its own position and position information of opposite party to be communicated and the azimuth to obtain an antenna directivity control angle and controlling the antenna directivity of the mobile body in response to the control angle. CONSTITUTION:The azimuth in the advancing direction with respect to its own position is detected by detection means 4,5 to obtain opposite position information by a storagemeans 3 or a communication means 8. Then its own position, azimuth and opposite position information detector by the arithmetic means 1 are calculated to obtain a directivity control angle phi of the antenna 6. The antenna directivity control means 7 is controlled by the obtained directivity control angle phi to bring the antenna directivity to the best point. Since the antenna with substantially high directivity is used, the communication range (or service area) is expanded and the S/N is improved.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of waiting time during a scroll operation by displaying a display area smaller than an area of the data, making access to one or both of an X series and a Y series to obtain a supplemental data and performing the scroll operation. CONSTITUTION:By a signal form an input device 13, a scroll direction is detected and when it is a vertical direction, block numbers of the data to be supplied upward or a downward from the present display area are obtained, the data in an X series recorded in an area 20X of a compact disk 1 is sought and the reproduced data is transferred to a graphic display processor 9. When the scroll direction is a horizontal direction, the number of the block of the data to be supplied rightward or leftward is obtained, the data in a Y series recorded in an area 20Y is sought and the reproduced data is transferred to the processor 9. When the scroll direction is oblique, similarly to the vertical and horizontal scrolling, the supplemental data are reproduced and transferred to the processor 9. During a horizontal blanking period, the data are written in a non-display area of the image memory.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent an oscillation at the time when an input is near zero, to process a minute input being near zero, too, and to expand a dynamic range by adding an fs/2 signals (fs=sampling frequency) to an input as a limit cycle preventing signal. CONSTITUTION:An input signal is converted to a digital signal by an A/D converter 1, and thereafter, receives an operation related to a frequency-amplitude characteristic in an IIR digigal filter 4, and it is led out to a D/A converter 7. In order to prevent the generation of a limit cycle, a signal which becomes + and - at every one sampling period (1/fs) is impressed to an input side of the filter 4 through an adder 3 from a limit cycle preventing signal generator 5. Accordingly, an input value of a constant amplitude is calculated by the filter 4, and the limit cycle generated at the time of a minute input due to round-down and a rounding error in the operation process can be prevented.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve relatively a digital signal processing speed by adding the output value of an index pointer and a logical address value and using this addition value as a physical address of a data memory. CONSTITUTION:A microprogram memory 6, where micro instructions indicating digital signal processing procedures are stored, and a data memory 31 as a scratch pad memory where intermediate data or the like for operation execution of digital signal data is stored are provided. An operation processing part 20 generates a logical address to access the memory 31. An index pointer 34 which is incremented or decremented at every one sampling period is provided, and the output value of this pointer 34 and said logical address value are added by an adder 37 to obtain the sum. Data of the sum from the adder 37 is used as a physical address of the data memory 31.
