Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible for a user with active glasses to see private data on a display, and for a non-permitted observer without the active glasses to see only masking data thereon. SOLUTION: The method for providing privately seeable data on a display, which can be seen by the public, comprises a step for generating a sequencing pattern, a step for generating data signal having a frame of private data scattered between frames of the masking data according to the sequencing pattern, a step for supplying data signals to a display which can be seen by the public, and a step for opening/closing a pair of shutters of the glasses according to the sequencing pattern. The user watching the display by using active glasses can see private data, while the non-permitted observer without the active glasses can see only the private data covered up with the masking data.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for determining the ballpark position of a mobile wireless unit. SOLUTION: This system shares a computer 9 and a database 10 which is especially defined between plural switching station 5 for servicing many base stations 4 for mobile wireless unit, and the base station 4 services many antennas and transmitting/receiving sites in a cellular area previously defined. A measurement result of signal intensity in the base station 4 is transmitted to the shared computer 9 via the switching station 5. The computer 9 calculates a practical small area for search using that measurement result if the user of the mobile wireless unit needing a support is helpless to determine its own position. Thus calculated area and database supply thus calculated detailed mapping to an emergency support center for processing information. In the mapping, specified features topography, building, signal, etc., used in a query to narrow down the communicator's position into a small part are emphasized.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a user to reproduce short parts of a message containing terms that respective representations show without reproducing the message of a part longer than a part that needs to be heard actually by displaying symbols representing the continuity of respective sounds along a time scale in response to the detection of the continuation of the sound. SOLUTION: The voice mail system 1, a display device 2, and a means 4 for displaying a graph 11 of a reproduction elapsed time are provided. Further, a speech recognition means 12 for recognizing a limited vocabulary of words is provided. This speech recognition means 12 operates in temporal connection with a generating means 4 for a signal indicating the elapsed time and generates a signal for displaying a print character corresponding to a voiced number at a 3-hour position corresponding to the point of time when the voice of the word representing respective numbers is detected on a reproduction elapsed time time graph 11. Therefore, the user can speedily confirm a message without reproducing and hearing a message that is more than required.
