In a block model abstraction of an integrated circuit developed from a hierarchal netlist, the hierarchal handling of timing exceptions is accomplished by selecting certain nodes not viewable at the top level in accordance with a set of rules, and raising these nodes to the top level so that defined timing exceptions may be applied. The timing model is next generated, and exception signatures created for paths between the selected nodes. Signatures are then removed from paths were such signature would not otherwise be valid.

A mail server extracts a character unregistered in a portable terminal from received mail data and affixes the font data of the character concerned to the mail data or inserts a reading tag indicating the reading (pronunciation) of the character concerned into the mail data.
