Abstract:
[Object] To provide a providing apparatus which enables sharing of radio communication resources among users while flexibly reflecting intention of users to utilize radio communication resources.[Solution] Provided is a providing apparatus including: a control unit configured to provide radio communication resources allocated to an own user to another user in response to a request from the another user; and an acquiring unit configured to acquire a reward in service of application which uses radio communication resources in accordance with an amount of the radio communication resources provided to the another user.
Abstract:
[Object]To provide an information processing device capable of easily executing linkage processing between devices using a service on a network.[Solution]Provided is an information processing device including: a control unit configured to transmit, when a relationship with a first device satisfies a predetermined condition defined by a predetermined service on a network, a user identifier used to identify a user and a device identifier used to identify the first device to the service and to request the service to perform processing related to linkage between the user identifier and the device identifier.
Abstract:
A mobile device that enables a user friendly selection of a target wireless enabled device, a wireless enabled device being configured to establish a wireless link with other devices, includes an imaging unit that acquires images of the surrounding of the mobile device and a display that displays images acquired by the imaging unit. An object detection unit is provided to detect wireless enabled devices within images acquired by the imaging unit, the wireless enabled devices being configured to establish a wireless link with other devices. Further, a user interface and a wireless interface are provided to establish a wireless link to a selected wireless enabled device. The display is configured to indicate detected wireless enabled devices in images displayed on the display and the user inter-face is configured to enable a user to select a wireless enabled device indicated on the display.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the fields of electromagnetic sensing, automatic security screening and contraband detection. The present invention especially relates to an adaptive sensing system, a sensing method and a corresponding computer program product. The adaptive sensing system according to the present invention comprises an optical or infrared camera for generating image information relating to a region of observation, a passive sensor for receiving electromagnetic radiation, an active sensor for emitting and receiving electromagnetic radiation, an image processing unit adapted to detect the presence of human beings and objects other than human beings in the region of observation based on the generated image information and a control unit. In case the presence of a human being is detected, the control unit is adapted to control the passive sensor so as to receive electromagnetic radiation from at least the region where the human being is detected and, in case the presence of an object other than a human being is detected, the control unit is adapted to control the active sensor so as to transmit and receive electromagnetic radiation to and from at least the region where the object is detected. By using the camera together with an image processing unit, the type of sensor that is applied for sensing is adapted according to the sensed object. This allows individuals to roam freely thereby increasing the convenience for the individuals and allows for a sensing which is unperceived by the individuals. Further, exposition of individuals to electromagnetic radiation is low as individuals are sensed with a passive sensor.
Abstract:
A mechanism related to a relay node in consideration of movement. The relay device includes: a relay unit that relays a wireless signal between a first device that is a connection destination and one or more subordinate second devices; and a control unit that assigns a network layer IP address, which has a prefix portion that is at least partially common, to each of the one or more second devices.
Abstract:
Upon receiving a beacon, a terminal B sends a RTS control message to a terminal A before sending a registration request message to the terminal A. Upon receiving the RTS control message, the terminal A sends a CTS control message. The terminal B measures the time from when the RTS control message is sent to when the CTS control message is received so as to calculate the distance with the terminal A. If the distance with the terminal A is within a predetermined distance X1, the terminal B sends a registration request message to the terminal A. Similarly, the terminal A measures the distance with the terminal B, and sends a registration request acknowledgement message to the terminal B when the distance with the terminal B is within a predetermined distance X2.
