摘要:
An information processing apparatus includes a key information table memory for storing, in a key information table, key information including first identification information identifying a first nearby device communicating with the information processing apparatus, a communication unit for communicating with a second nearby device present at a location where the second nearby device is communicable with the information processing apparatus, a nearby device information retrieval unit for retrieving nearby device information including second identification information identifying the second nearby device, a movement halt detector for detecting a movement status of the information processing apparatus, a functional limitation determiner for determining, based on the key information, the nearby device information, and/or the movement status, whether to limit execution of a process of a function of the information processing apparatus and a functional limitation executer for controlling the execution of the process based on the determination results.

A plurality of user terminals regularly accessing Internet Relay Chat (IRC) services are also in communication with a service selecting host. The service selecting host is configured to collect data from the plurality of user terminals. The collected data includes information about the users at the user terminals and information about the user terminals activity in the accessing of the IRC services. The service selecting host compiles and sorts the collected data concerning IRC services to produce information provided to the user terminals. The information provided to the user terminals allows users at the user terminals to more easily select sorted IRC services.

Method for altering service-provision sequence without leaving customers with a sense of unfairness. Question data Q1, Q2 containing question content, priority level, membership number, and other information is transmitted from questioner terminals 2a, b (#2, 5). An alter-sequence request to switch the sequential order of question data Q2 to a higher rank is transmitted from questioner terminal 2b to question administration server 1 (#7). An inquiry with questioner terminal 2a as to changing sequential order according to priority levels for question data Q1 and question data Q2 is conducted (#8). When a notice indicating that a sequence change will be permitted is transmitted from questioner terminal 2a (#9), the sequential orders for question data Q1 and for question data Q2 are interchanged, and question terminal 2b is notified to the effect that the sequence has been changed (#10).

An information management system includes a server connected to a network 1 so as to manage and communicate information related to users. The information managing/communication system includes a user information storage device, user information management device, object compiling device, update notification device, request processing device, object storage device, output device, and object changing device. When a change is made in the user information stored in the user information storage device, the update notification device notifies the occurrence of the change and also an attribute of the changed user information to the other users who previously received the user information. The user then updates the relevant user information object of the object storage device based upon the notification.

A group contact system includes a server 4 for managing user information, and a plurality of user terminals (2) which mutually and commonly engage in a communication service operated on the server. The user terminal (2) includes a card forming instruction means (5) and a content acquiring means (9). The server (4) includes a user information storage means (7) and a card forming means (8). Members who establish communications in, for instance a chat of the communication service, are eligible to be designated a group member. Anyone using the service can request that the server form a group card. Every item to be included in the group card has an access level that may be set by a user so that certain items may be excluded from the group card. As a result, the group card for user A may not have the same items as a corresponding card for user B. The group members acquire the formed group card and save the content of the formed group card. The invention also permits any group member to mutually make contact with other members by using the information on the card to access another communication means such as a telephone or a facsimile. Also, a snapshot of each member of the group members may be included on the card. Therefore, a friendship may develop among the group members.

An information communication method includes: accepting first presence information transmitted from a first terminal device which is connected so as to be communicable through a network; specifying a second terminal device as a notification destination to which the first presence information is destined; mapping the notification destination to a transmission source of the first presence information; deciding whether or not an alteration of the notification destination is required according to a state of the notification destination as indicated by second presence information accepted from the second terminal device; selecting, if alteration is required, a third terminal device to succeed the second terminal device; and notifying the first presence information to the third terminal device corresponding to the altered notification destination.
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 information processing apparatus includes: a first virtual machine part to operate by being allocated to another information processing apparatus; a monitoring-application information storing part to store an application for monitoring the operation of the virtual machine part; a determining part to determine, in the virtual machine part, whether the application stored in the monitoring-application information storing part is operating by accessing an auxiliary storage device connected to the other information processing apparatus; a status storing part to store application information related to an operating status of the application when the determining part determines that the application is operating; an application exiting part to exit the application when the application information is stored; and a transmitting part to transmit virtual-machine information related to an operating status of the virtual machine part, together with the stored application information, to the other information processing apparatus when the application is exited.
摘要:
A mobile terminal device includes a self-diagnosis unit that diagnoses a problem in the application, a modifying unit that modifies a start command to start the application in a state in which the self-diagnosis unit is activated, a specification receiving unit that executes the modified start command upon receiving a specification of the application, an operation procedure display unit that displays an operation procedure that a user executes before a start of the application when the modified start command is executed, a memory unit in which log data indicating a result of a user operation on the application is stored by the activated self-diagnosis unit, and a log data transmitting unit that transmits the log data stored in the memory unit through a network to a remote management server that manages the application problem when a completion of the diagnosis by the self-diagnosis unit is detected.
