easily make a presentation to the other person only by moving the
lid body 2 into the inverted state” (col. 14, lines 4-6). Two
persons can talk to each other while looking at the information
on the respective screens, by inputting instructions on one
screen and carrying out a special display at the other (second)
location. The same information is displayed on the user’s side
and the other person’s side, in different languages such as
Japanese and English (col. 14, lines 4-16). We additionally find
from our review of Haneda that an additional software application
of a telephone book (figure 11a) can be accessed.
From the disclosure of Haneda, we find that moving the lid
to the inverted state can cause the display on the main body to
be displayed on the lid display, in an inverted fashion. Thus,
Haneda uses the position of the lid to invoke a display, as well
as to light or turn off the light of a display.

display screens as a viewing area, with the lid display inverted
(figures 18a and 18b) for translating sentences from Japanese
into English, meets the claim limitation of interacting the two
