20130237255 | MOBILE TERMINAL WITH ELECTRONIC COMPASS, AND ORIENTATION CALCULATION METHOD - A mobile terminal with electronic compass is provided with a first housing that houses a geomagnetic sensor, a second housing connected to the first housing, with relative position thereto being variable, a state detection unit that detects a relative position state between the first housing and the second housing, an offset correction initial value storage unit that stores an offset correction initial value for each of a plurality of relative position states detected by the state detection unit, and an offset correction value determination unit that determines whether the offset correction value calculated by a calibration unit is valid or invalid. The offset correction value determination unit, in a case of determining that the offset correction value calculated by the calibration unit is valid, updates the offset correction value as the offset correction initial value corresponding to the relative position state, and stores the offset correction initial value in the offset correction initial value storage unit. | 09-12-2013 |
20130236762 | LOCKING STRUCTURE FOR COVER - An object of the present invention is to provide a cover that is made less prone to be removed even if receiving an impact due to falling or the like, and an operation for removing the cover is made easy. An engaging piece position regulating member made of a viscoelastic body such as an urethane-based resin is provided on a left side of an elastically-deformable engaging piece of a cover, which allows an engaging projection of the engaging piece to leave from an engaging hole when the cover is removed from a device casing by manual operation and inhibits the engaging projection of the engaging piece from leaving from the engaging hole when a rate of deformation larger than a rate of deformation by manual operation is provided to the engaging piece by an impact due to falling or the like. | 09-12-2013 |
