"Therefore, the prior technique limits the sensitivity of detection and leaves room for improvement where the entire waveform is translated to a useful output."

"While "plug and play" functionality is an extremely useful and convenient feature, the current state of the art leaves room for improvement in several areas. A first problem is a functional timing problem. Device manufacturers release new devices all the time. Operating system releases tend to be relatively infrequent, however. Thus, it is very difficult, if not impossible, for device manufacturers to anticipate their new product development implementation programs in order to include installation files for those new products in significantly earlier operating system releases."

"However, there is still room for improvement in the way a mobile communication device indicates the network to which it is currently connected."

"[0003] Recent years have seen tremendous growth in the number and variety of display devices available to the public. Computers (whether desktop, laptop, or notebook), personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, and thin LCD TVs are but a few examples. Although some of these devices can use ordinary ambient light to view the display, most include a light panel referred to as a backlight to make the display visible.
[0004] Many such backlights fall into the categories of "edge-lit"（エッジライト型）or "direct-lit"（直下型）. These categories differ in the placement of the light sources relative to the output area of the backlight, where the output area defines the viewable area of the display device. In edge-lit backlights, a light source is disposed along an outer border of the backlight construction, outside the zone corresponding to the output area. The light source typically emits light into a light guide, which has length and width dimensions on the order of （程度の）the output area and from which light is extracted（取り出す）to illuminate the output area. In direct-lit backlights, an array of light sources is disposed directly behind the output area, and a diffuser is placed in front of the light sources to provide a more uniform light output. Some direct-lit backlights also incorporate（内蔵）an edge-mounted light, and are thus capable of both direct-lit and edge-lit operation."
