Abstract:
A combination of antennas to be used is selected based on a distance between a plurality of antennas or the polarization direction of a radio signal to be transmitted/received.
Abstract:
A power transmitting device includes a power transmitter (21) transmitting electric power in a contactless manner, a data communicator (22) obtaining identification information of at least one power receiving device that has become possible to receive electric power transmitted from the power transmitter (21), a power receiving device finding/separation detector (261) counting a number of state switchings between a power unreceivable state and the power receivable state during a predetermined period of time, for each power receiving device of which identification information has been obtained, and a power transmission controller (263) controlling electric power transmission performed by the power transmitter (21), on the basis of the number of state switchings counted by the power receiving device finding/separation detector (261).
Abstract:
In a mobile communication terminal, a communication control section controls communication on the basis of a selected radio communication system or frequency band and manages the state of communication. A signal-strength-indicator acquiring and storing section acquires signal-strength indicators and stores it. A communication-state acquiring section acquires the state of communication. A signal-strength-indication displaying control section determines whether a radio communication system or a frequency band is being searched for from the communication state. When it is being searched for, antenna bars indicative of signal strength are not shown or flashed when the signal-strength indicator is indicated on a display section.
Abstract:
When a communication apparatus (server device) that includes wireless access means and can send content data by using the wireless access means starts sending content data, it calculates a communication band that remains available for the server device to perform communication, so that any content that has a rate equal to or greater than the remaining communication band may not be publicized open to and may not hence be sent to a client device.
Abstract:
A communication terminal includes a first wireless unit for carrying out cellular communication, and a second wireless unit for carrying out WLAN communication. A control unit carries out a power save operation that inactivates the WLAN communication function of these wireless communication functions. Location information for access points accessible by WLAN communication is stored in the storage unit. The control unit calculates distances between access points and the communication terminal and determines whether or not the communication terminal is within communication range of any of the access points by matching location information for the communication terminal obtained by the GPS unit and location information for the access points stored in the storage unit. When the access point is within communication range, the control unit gives notification by outputting the signal strength via a display unit and the like according to the distance to the access point.
Abstract:
A communication system has a communication terminal and information processing device that can be mounted on a movable body. The information processing device includes a request transmission part that transmits to a communication terminal within a predetermined range a request signal, the request signal requesting the transmission of an image, through broadcast communication for transmitting information to a plurality of transmitting partners. The request signal contains a positional information indicative of a position. The communication terminal includes: an image shooting part that shoots an image around the communication terminal; a position acquisition part that obtains a position at which the image is shot; a recording part that associates and records the shot image and the position; and a receiving part that receives the request signal; and an image transmission part that transmits an image.

Abstract:
An electronic apparatus includes a plurality of communication units including a first communication unit which communicates via a first communication network and a second communication unit which communicates via a second communication network. The electronic apparatus acquires presence information indicating a communication state of a communication apparatus from a presence server managing a communication state of a communication apparatus on a communication network, via at least one communication network. The electronic apparatus acquires presence information of an alternative communication apparatus being as a communication apparatus which communicates via the second communication network in place of the second communication unit included in itself. The electronic apparatus determines as to whether the alternate communication apparatus is in an online state, based on the acquired presence information. The electronic apparatus suppresses electric power to be consumed by the second communication unit, when the alternate communication apparatus is in an online state.
Abstract:
A communication terminal optimally switches between the use of multicast reception and unicast reception, in consideration of the mobile radio environment of each terminal. For example, received signal strength indicator information is acquired at a received signal strength indicator information acquisition time calculated using a content reception time. Either multicast reception or unicast reception is selected according to the acquired received signal strength indicator information and content reception is performed. An optimal reception system can be selected and reception failure can be reduced. In addition, by performing a dynamic switching of reception methods as such, the base station-end can perform multicast delivery rather than unicast delivery when possible to communication terminals in favorable mobile radio environments, thereby significantly reducing the traffic load placed on communication paths.
