Abstract:
A relay server manages information that links a client terminal and a service provided by a service providing server; based on the information managed, gives information of the service corresponding to the client terminal as attribute information to data transmitted from the client terminal; and transmits, to a data storage server, the data given the attribute information. The data storage server comprises a storage unit configured to store the data transmitted in a storage area. The service providing server acquires data extracted from data stored in the storage unit by designating the attribute information, and corresponding to the service provided by the service providing server.
Abstract:
A relay apparatus that relays communication between a server which provides a service and a terminal which receives the service is provided. The relay apparatus executes first communication to transmit a predetermined signal to the terminal in accordance with a first communication protocol, and executes second communication to receive a response to the predetermined signal by the first communication from the terminal in accordance with a second communication protocol different from the first communication protocol and without using the first communication protocol, and to communicate with the server in accordance with the reception of the response.
Abstract:
A pixel includes a conversion element detecting radiation, and a switch between the element and a signal line. A readout unit reads out a signal on the signal line. The readout unit includes a reset unit that resets a potential of the signal line. A period during which the readout unit reads out a signal on the signal line includes a first period during which the signal line is reset, and a signal on the signal line in a state that the switch is not turned on is read out, and a second period during which the signal line is reset, and a signal on the signal line due to the switch being turned on is read out. The processing unit calculates a difference between the signals read out in the second and first periods.
