An apparatus and method for notifying observation data to an application program which includes a memory which stores observation data received from a sensor and time information corresponding to the observation data are provided. The apparatus includes an evaluation-data calculating unit which calculates amount-of-change evaluation data based on the received newest observation data and former observation data notified to the application program, a determination unit which determines whether the amount-of-change evaluation data is greater than or equal to reference change amount, and a notification unit which notifies the observation data received from the sensor to the application program when the determination unit determines that the amount-of-change evaluation data is greater than or equal to the reference change amount.

In a presence system in which one user users a plurality of terminals, dynamically changing buddy lists are synchronized between the terminals. A presence notification message is sent to all the terminals of the user. The timing of sending includes, for example, when the presence information of a buddy is updated, when a new buddy is set, when display attribute information is updated, when a buddy is cancelled, and when a presence notification of unknown presentity is made. Thus, when one user uses a plurality of terminals in the presence system, dynamically changing buddy lists can be synchronized between the terminals. In addition, the display formats of the buddy lists do not differ from one terminal to another, and the same display format is attained.

In an information delivery apparatus and method, when a user who transmits information updates information to be transmitted, based on a profile of each user desiring delivery of the information, the order of delivering the updated information, that is, from which user the updated information should be sequentially delivered, is determined beforehand, and information delivery matching a status of the user at a delivered end.

If a call session has been established between terminal apparatuses on the sending side and receiving side when a voice packet is received from the terminal apparatus on the receiving side, a firewall apparatus sends the received voice packet to the terminal apparatus on the sending side. On the other hand, if a call session has not been established when a voice packet is received, the firewall apparatus starts buffering received voice packets. When a call session is established, the firewall apparatus sends the buffered voice packets to the terminal apparatus on the sending side.

A communication promotion method is provided to appropriately support communication by a plurality of users in different environments. A character 2, operable by an IRC client 5, is linked to or installed in a user terminal 8. An administration device 3 detects a specific event in a channel and sends a specific command to the IRC client 5 via IRC. Commands do not always have to be sent to all of the IRC client 5, and may be different according to the IRC client 5. The user terminal 8 detects the aforesaid command and sends it to the character 2. Characters at each user terminal 8 operate as specified by the command.
摘要:
A communication support system is connected with a network enabling communication among user terminals and is capable of accessing a user information recording portion in which shared information concerning users and access information showing users who accessed the shared information are recorded. The communication support system includes: a user identification portion that acquires a communication start request from a user terminal and identifies an originator and a receiver; a retrieval portion that retrieves shared information concerning the receiver that the originator has not accessed from data recorded in the user information recording portion; and a control portion that, based on a result of the retrieval by the retrieval portion, controls the communication. Thereby, the communication support system can control whether or not to start the communication based on the presence or not of information about the receiver that the originator should confirm.

A speech communication device includes a data receiver that receives data from other device. The received data is stored in a buffer. The amount of the data in the buffer is monitored at a predetermined timing. When the amount of data in the buffer exceeds a steady delay threshold, an action determining unit instructs reduction in the stored data, reduction of an initial storage amount, and reduction of an upper limit threshold (a substantial buffer capacity).

A process for preparing a crystalline layered hydrogenphosphate in a shortened period of time in high efficiency, which comprises reacting a tetravalent metal compound with phosphoric acid or its salt at an elevated temperature with introducing steam into the reaction system. Crystalline layered cerium(IV) bis(hydrogen-phosphate), particularly cerium(IV) bis(hydrogen-phosphate) dihydrate prepared by the above process, has an excellent ability of selectively adsorbing cesium ion, and is useful as a cesium ion adsorbent.

An information processing apparatus includes a transceiver unit transmitting and receiving information to and from an external device is provided. The apparatus includes a setting information storage unit storing setting information related to an operating environment in association with user identification information, a judging unit judging whether the information that the transceiver unit transmits to or receives from the external device includes given information, an extraction unit extracting the given information from the information including the given information, a specifying unit specifying a user on the basis of the given information, and a setting unit reading the setting information stored in the setting information storage unit in association with the user identification information and setting the user operating environment on the basis of the setting information.
