摘要:
An application program determines, based upon a user's operation that has been received during execution, whether installation of an extension function is necessary, saves information identifying an extension function whose installation is necessary in memory if it is determined that installation of the extension function is necessary, activates an installer of the extension function whose installation is necessary and then terminates execution of this application program. If the application program is activated by the installer after the completion of installation, the application program activates the extension function, which has been installed by the installer, based upon the identifying information that has been saved in the memory.

In order to provide an information processing apparatus which has improved operability and can obviate the need for setting operation of the apparatus, when an external apparatus (portable terminal apparatus) is connected to the information processing apparatus (computer apparatus), the information processing apparatus detects the current setting (setting of a display language or the like) of the external apparatus, and changes its own setting on the basis of the detection result. For example, when the external apparatus is connected to the information processing apparatus, the setting in the information processing apparatus is automatically changed in correspondence with that in the external apparatus.

An intercom system is provided which is capable of allowing an emergency notification to be received securely and properly by a contact person, so that upon reception of a call from an emergency-call mobile phone, the call is automatically forwarded to previously determined contacts and transmission/notification processes are performed on the contacts in response to how the contacts respond to the call. The intercom system according to the invention comprises: at least a master unit inside a residence, a first slave unit inside a residence, and a second slave unit, the master unit capable of communication with an external terminal device via a communication line, the first slave unit capable of wired or wireless communication with said master unit, the second slave unit capable of wireless communication with said master unit, in which said master unit includes: notification control means for, when said second slave unit makes a call, performing a transmission process so that the call is transmitted over said communication line to previously determined contacts and performing a notification process in response to how said contact responds to the call; answer signal detection means for, after response from said contact, determining whether or not a response from the contact is an answering machine message based on voice information provided by the contact; and storage means capable of at least storing notification information indicating whether or not a notification has been successfully sent to the contact by said notification control means, the notification information associated with said contact, and in which said notification control means is operable to: play back an emergency message after completion of the answering machine message in the event said contact responds to the call and said answer signal detection means determines the response from the contact is the answering machine message, and immediately play back the emergency message while setting an notification indicator flag in a corresponding box in a notification information column, the box associated with said contact, in the event said answer signal detection means determines the response is not the answering machine message; disconnect communication with the contact in the event said contact does not respond for a predetermined time period; and repeat the transmission and notification processes for all of the contacts whose notification indicator flags are not set until the notification indicator flags associated with all of the contacts are set.

摘要:
In order to enable plural users to share a virtual environment which includes not only simple shape data, but also data of an object having a highly complicated shape, a terminal equipment displays the virtual environment. The virtual environment is obtained when viewed by a user of the terminal equipment on the basis of tree-structure data composing the shape data, light space data and the like as components. The tree-structure data is changed when the shape data or the light space data is subjected to a process such as movement or the like. The changed information of the tree-structure data is transmitted to a server, and the server changes data in a data memory device based on the received changed information. The changed information is transmitted to another terminal equipment which displays the virtual environment obtained when viewed by the user of the another terminal equipment on the basis of the received changed information.

A communication system that performs communication route control includes a center node and at least one node connected thereto via a communication line. The node includes an error-detecting unit that detects an error in the communication route, a route request packet transmitting unit that broadcasts a new route request packet in response to the detection, a route answer packet receiving unit that receives a route answer packet transmitted from a node that is a target node or a node having a valid route to the target node or from the center node, and a communication route updating unit that updates a communication route based on the route answer packet. A node that is the target node or the node having a valid route to the target node or the center node transmits a route answer packet to the node in response to a route request packet transmitted from the node.

In a system in which a transmission device and reception device communicate with each other, the transmission device has a first output unit which outputs a first audio guidance, and a transmission unit which transmits, to the reception device, an output instruction that instructs the reception device to output a second audio guidance related to the first audio guidance at a timing corresponding to an output timing of the first guidance, and the reception device has a reception unit which receives the output instruction transmitted by the transmission unit, and an output unit which outputs the second audio guidance at a timing according to the output instruction received by the reception unit.
摘要:
A transmitting apparatus includes an MPEG encoder; a baseband unit; transceiving devices for transmitting the video signal output from the baseband unit as a wireless LAN radio wave and for acquiring the incoming transmission rate that shows the receiving condition of the video signal from the receiving apparatus; and a control device. The control device controls the MPEG encoder and baseband unit so as to reduce the outgoing transmission rate of the video signal when the incoming transmission rate is smaller than a first threshold value, and reduce the resolution of the video signal when the incoming transmission rate is smaller than a second threshold value, which is smaller than the first threshold value. When the transmission condition is poor, it is possible to alleviate frame loss and breakup of vide signal to be displayed in a display apparatus.
