The graphic system further has a scroll controller that scrolls the information in accordance with the movement of the first scroll knob. When a given operation is carried out during the display of the first scroll bar, the second display processor displays a partial range of the first scroll bar as a second scroll bar. In the partial range, a first scroll knob is included. Then, the second display processor defines the scale of the second scroll bar as the scale of the partial range. The scroll controller scrolls the information in accordance with an operation performed on the second scroll bar. | 11-12-2009 |

| 20080238914 | Map Information Creating Device, Map Information Creating Method, and Map Information Creating Program - A 3D road object is an object having road width, height, and length. The 3D road object corresponds to a link. A road surface texture is drawn repeatedly on the top surface of the 3D road object. With a map information creating device, geometry data in a cube shape containing a cross-section including the road width and the height can be extracted. Length of this geometry data can be set to the length of one sheet (one cycle) of the road surface texture in the length direction of the 3D road object. The road surface texture for one sheet as well as drawing cycle information can also be extracted. Moreover, link length information can be extracted from the link. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090073175 | DISPLAY PROCESSING APPARATUS, DISPLAY PROCESSING METHOD AND DISPLAY PROCESSING PROGRAM - By storing pre-rasterized bitmap data and scalable font data in separate storage unit, even when a hard disk drive is disabled, it is possible to assure a function of displaying a required minimum number of (or a certain number of) a character or visual object by the scalable font data in a flash memory. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090174715 | DISPLAY PROCESSING DEVICE, DISPLAY PROCESSING METHOD, AND DISPLAY PROCESSING PROGRAM - A font controller extracts and reads each time only the pre-rasterized bitmap font data groups to be used simultaneously among a plurality of pre-rasterized bitmap font data groups stored on the hard disk drive in advance, and expands and stores the groups in a work memory. With this arrangement, it is possible to significantly decrease the amount of memory consumed because the memory capacity required in the work memory is sufficient only with the read data amount to be extracted. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090315881 | DISPLAY PROCESSING DEVICE, DISPLAY PROCESSING METHOD, AND DISPLAY PROCESSING PROGRAM - In case it is necessary to have high-speed drawing processing such as display scrolling and so on, a drawing switching signal is input at a step, and high-speed drawing display data is output to a display at a step in response to this input, thereby display is performed. A high-speed drawing data generating means generates high-speed drawing display data for displaying each pixel concerning a character or visual object using a digitized gradation value digitized from each corresponding gradation value, and display is performed on this generated data. When it is necessary to have high-speed drawing, it is possible to have quick processing without increasing loads on a CPU and graphic controller on digitized data from gradation value. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20100062627 | CONNECTION MEMBER AND HARNESS CONNECTOR - A waterproof harness connector that is simple, highly reliable, and can branch a wire. An inner holder is inserted into an outer holder from an opening, and then, joints of wire terminals, where seal members are attached to wires, are inserted into wire terminal holding holes of the inner holder through wire terminal insertion openings of the outer holder. When a pin terminal is inserted into a pin terminal insertion hole of the inner holder, the pin terminal penetrates tubular contacts of the joints, which are placed in the holding hole, to electrically connect the wire terminals to each other. After that, a waterproof member is fixed to an opening to make the inside of the outer holder a waterproof structure. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100096184 | HARNESS CONNECTION MEMBER - A harness connection member has a cover member. In fitting a cover member to a holder, a split slit is opened with use of a slit, and wires are inserted into the holder. Thereafter, the cover member is moved to the holder, then moved over one projected annular part of the holder, and fitted into the projected ring parts. A concaved strip part is fitted to a convexed strip part to complete the installation, whereby the cover member cannot be moved relative to the holder in both longitudinal and circumferential directions. | 04-22-2010 |
