Plural client computers 10 manipulated by individual users, a data management computer 200, and a host computer 100 are mutually connected through a network NW. The data management computer 200 manages the VRML file expressing a virtual space, and also transfers the VRML file to each client computer 10 through the network NW according to the request from each client computer 10. Each client computer 10 displays the virtual space according to the VRML file, and also displays in inside of the virtual space the object capable of updating the property data by the manipulation of the user. The host computer 100 manages the property data (position, shape, speech text, etc.) of the object changed by the operation inputted by the user at each client computer 10, so that the users of the client computers 10 sharing the same virtual space can communicate with each other through the behavior and speech of the objects in the virtual space.

There is provided a communication apparatus, adapted to be used as a user terminal, connected to a message communication system in which a plurality of user terminals are interconnected, the plurality of user terminals sharing virtual worlds and avatars (symbols) of users each operating an associated one of the user terminals, and messages are exchanged among the plurality of user terminals while creating an atmosphere such that as if one's own self enters the virtual world and has conversations. In the communication apparatus, the users (symbols) are classified into a plurality of categories, and action contents of the symbols are controlled in accordance with the categories. According to the communication apparatus, a symbol with a great deal of individuality is produced, so that a virtual world full of variety may be implemented.

There is provided a communication apparatus for exchanging messages while a virtual space and avatars (symbols) of users are displayed on a display screen. The communication apparatus has a viewpoint element inputting unit for inputting a viewpoint element (a viewpoint position and a viewpoint direction). An image of the virtual space is produced on the basis of the viewpoint element inputted from the viewpoint element inputting unit. According to the communication apparatus, it is possible to increase a degree of freedom in plotting the virtual space.

A virtual space communication system includes a virtual space management computer which manages information regarding a virtual space, a plurality of client computers each of which receives information regarding the virtual space from the virtual space management computer and generates communication information used in the virtual space, each of the plurality of client computers having an object state changing unit for changing a state of an object included in the virtual space, and a communication management computer which intermediates communications regarding communication information and information representing change of a state of an object among the plurality of client computers sharing the virtual space. The virtual space communication system further comprises a changing unit for, when a state of an object is changed in one of the plurality of client computers, changing information of the virtual space managed by the virtual space management computer based on a changed state of the object.
摘要:
A computer receives, from a target device via a communication apparatus that is capable of accessing the target device, an issuance request for issuing key information unique to the target device. The computer generates the key information upon reception of the issuance request. The computer stores an address allocated to the communication apparatus and the key information in association with each other. The computer transmits the key information to the target device via the communication apparatus. The computer receives, from the communication apparatus, the key information and a registration request for registering a relay apparatus for relaying communication between the computer and the target device. The computer registers the communication apparatus as the relay apparatus when the address allocated to the communication apparatus and the address stored in association with the received key information match each other.

An image pickup lens, comprises sequentially from an object side: an aperture stop, a first lens being a positive meniscus lens which has a convex surface at the object side and a concave surface at an image side opposite to the object side, and a second lens having a concave surface at the object side and an image side surface whose radius of curvature on an paraxial region is infinite or a negative value, wherein the first lens is the second lens and the image side surface of the second lens includes an aspheric surface to make a positive power strong toward a lens peripheral region, and wherein the image pickup lens is made to satisfy the following conditional formulas. 1.55
摘要:
A method for determining, by a computer, an alternative process includes receiving from a transmitting side terminal a communication request containing a first combination of a receiving side identifier information of a mobile phone terminal and a transmitting side identifier information of the transmitting side terminal and, determining the alternative process to be performed, instead of relaying the communication request to the mobile phone terminal in response to the communication request, corresponding to the transmitting side identifier information in the communication request based on the first combination of the receiving side identifier information and the transmitting side identifier information in the communication request and alternative process information specifying the alternative process to be performed based on a second combination of the receiving side identifier information of the mobile phone terminal and the transmitting side identifier information of the transmitting side terminal managed in an alternative process information manager.
