| 20080242363 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE - A communications terminal comprises a display, a first storage for storing data, a second storage unit that stores a first and a second information set, the first information set including a first communications address and a communications recipient's name, and the second information set includes a second communications address and a communications recipient's name, a first display controller displays a text string expressed by data stored in the first storage unit; and a second display controller that identifies a name from the second storage unit included in the text string being displayed. When the name is associated with the first communications address, a screen prompts communications to the first communications address, or when the name is associated with the second communications address, a screen prompts communications to the second communications address. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20080250391 | Communication terminal apparatus - A Java application is started, the started Java application instructs a Flash bridge section | 10-09-2008 |
| 20080252716 | Communication Control Device and Communication Terminal - A first mobile communication terminal sends position data of an avatar for the terminal and position data of an avatar for a second mobile communication terminal, with which a user of the first terminal wishes to communicate, to a communication control device. The communication control device determines whether a position indicated by each of the two pieces of position data is within a predetermined space. If the communication control device determines that positions indicated by the two pieces of position data are within the predetermined space, the first and second mobile communication terminals start a videophone call using captured images, and otherwise, the mobile communication terminals start a videophone call using avatar images. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20080254813 | Control Device, Mobile Communication System, and Communication Terminal - A control device comprises a first memory, a second memory, and a processor. The first memory is configured to store captured image data and alternative image data. The second memory is configured to store positional data in association with a communication terminal. The processor is configured to: retrieve from the second memory first positional data associated with a first communication terminal and second positional data associated with a second communication terminal; calculate a distance between a first position indicated by the first positional data and a second position indicated by the second positional data; and select image data to be sent to the first communication terminal from among captured image data or alternative image data, on the basis of the calculated distance, to allow the first communication terminal to display an image on the basis of the selected image data. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080254829 | Control Apparatus, Mobile Communications System, and Communications Terminal - There is provided a control apparatus comprising: a receiving unit that, from one of a first communications terminal and a second communications terminal, each of the communications terminals being capable of sending and receiving images and messages and of displaying messages and images, receives a notification indicating detection of an outside party who is not a communicant with either of the communications terminals; and a control unit that, when the receiving unit does not receive the notification from the first communications terminal, causes the first communications terminal to display a captured image sent by the second communications terminal, and when the receiving unit receives the notification from the first communications terminal, causes the first communications terminal to display a substitute image for display in place of the captured image. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080254840 | Control device, mobile communication system, and communication terminal - A control device includes: a word storage unit that stores a plurality of words; an obtaining unit that obtains messages which are transmitted/received together with images between first and second communication terminals; a determination unit that determines whether any of the plurality of words stored in the storage unit is identical or similar to any of words included in the messages obtained by the obtaining unit; and a control unit that causes one or each of the first and second communication terminals to display either a camera image or a substitute image which is transmitted from the other of the first and second communication terminals, depending on a determination result of the determination unit, the substitute image being substitutable for the camera image. | 10-16-2008 |
