A PC card and a method of controlling the PC card is provided which can be used to add multiple capabilities to an information processing apparatus in cooperation with a conventional card only by the use of a single card slot.The PC card 1 is provided with a multifunctional adapter unit 2 which controls data exchange between the information processing apparatus 20 and the function of the PC card or data exchange between the information processing apparatus 20 and the function of the PHS card, and a PC card function control unit 3 which controls the function of the PC card. The multifunctional adapter unit 2 of the PC card 1 is provided with a communication control unit 2a, an address control unit 2b, a driving system setting unit 2c, and an interrupt request control unit 2d. The address control unit 2b controls address operations in order that the address area used by the PC card function control unit 3 shall not overlap the address area used by the PHS card function control unit 4 in the memory space which is accessed by the information processing apparatus 20 through the PC card 1.

When viewing/listening to a video and an audio via a terminal device 1 having a monitor 7, a broadcast content D1 broadcast via an electric wave is received by a broadcast content reception section 6 which can be detachably attached to the terminal device 1 and a network content D4 distributed by the IP network is acquired. In browser software 14a, the broadcast content D1 is synthesized with the network content D4 and outputted. Thus, without requiring a special cable television broadcast network, it is possible to receive various services by a combination of a television broadcast and Internet information in a terminal device such as an existing computer.

When a connection request is sent from a telephone terminal, even if it is difficult to set a communication path to the destination telephone terminal only through the packet network, a circuit switching network is also used in cooperation with the packet network in order to set a communication path therethrough, so that call loss is prevented from occurring. In accordance with the communication path setting system of the present invention, when it is determined that an ADSL modem 22 connected to a VoIP network 1 is not operating, the MGC 62 sets a communication path between a telephone terminal 11 and a telephone terminal 12 through the VoIP network 1, a public switched telephone network 2 and a voice band signal processing unit 230 of the ADSL modem 22. In the same manner, when it is determined that the MGC 62 is not operating, the MGC 61 sets a communication path between the telephone terminal 11 and the telephone terminal 12 through the VoIP network 1, the public switched telephone network 2 and the voice band signal processing unit 230 of the ADSL modem 22.
摘要:
A communication system having an automatic dialer, which generates a signal for selection of a communication line from a plurality of communication lines belonging to a plurality of common carriers before communication is made between a calling subscriber and a called subscriber. The automatic dialer automatically transmits the signal for specifying one of a plurality of signal paths coupled to the called subscriber in addition to other necessary signals. The necessary signals may be automatically transmitted with the minimum dial number, resulting in easier operation of the system.
摘要:
A personal information management system is characterized in describing a telephone number while reading out a coordinate position on an application sheet on which a coded coordinate position on the sheet is printed, transmitting by a mobile phone a handwriting image read out by a digital pen to a database managing server, analyzing by the database managing server image data received by a wireless communication terminal device, extracting the telephone number allocated to the wireless communication terminal device, and, in accordance with the extracted telephone number, detecting personal information associated with the telephone number from a telephone number/address associating type database. With this, in letter mailing service, etc., an opportunity for the exposure of personal information is shortened, so that the possibility of the leakage of personal information is reduced, repetitive descriptions of the same content are avoided, and troublesome work can be eased.
摘要:
Contents are distributed through wireless or wired communication means by storing plural pieces of contents data in advance in a content accumulation unit, by weighting the individual pieces of contents data stored in that content accumulation unit, in accordance with their attributes, by selecting the contents data from the content accumulation unit in accordance with that weighting, and by assigning the contents data selected, to a channel on the communication means. When the multichannel is proceeded in the internet TV or cable TV system, it is possible to improve the conveniences of the user for the channel selection and to practice the contents reuse effectively on the contents supplier side.
摘要:
A set top box 41 having a content acquisition unit 411 for receiving a content or reading out a content accumulated acquires a switching request signal and a skip request signal based on the user operation and switches the channel identifying the content received or read out at the content acquisition unit according to the switching request signal. When switching the channel, the channel is switched in the order of the channel number according to the switching request signal. When the channel number is displayed and a skip request signal is acquired, the channel is switched in the order of the group name based on the attribute information correlated with the content and the channel. Thus, it is possible to realize the zapping operation for selecting a desired content from a plenty of contents by a simple user interface and operation.

A PC card and a method of controlling the PC card are provided which can be used to add multiple capabilities to an information processing apparatus in cooperation with a conventional card only by the use of a single card slot. The PC card 1 is provided with a multifunctional adapter unit 2 which controls data exchange between the information processing apparatus 20 and the function of the PC card or data exchange between the information processing apparatus 20 and the function of the PHS card, and a PC card function control unit 3 which controls the function of the PC card. The multifunctional adapter unit 2 is provided with a communication control unit 2a, an area builder unit 2b, an address control unit 2c, an interrupt request control unit 2d, and an interrupt cause register set 2e. A global card information structure and a global register area are built in the multifunctional adapter unit 2 by the area builder unit 2b in order to control the address operations to the PC card 1 by the information processing apparatus when the information processing apparatus refers to the PC card, and thereby both the memory spaces of the PC card function control unit 3 and the PHS card function control unit 4 can be accessed.
摘要:
An apparatus and method are described for providing enhanced network coverage in a wireless network. The apparatus has a first antenna system for providing a first sector of a network, and a second antenna system for providing a second sector of the network. Further, the apparatus has a third antenna system for communicating with a base station of the network to provide a common wireless backhaul link for the first sector and the second sector. The first and the second antenna systems are configured such that when the apparatus is deployed at a periphery of a building, the first sector extends into the building to provide enhanced availability of the network to items of user equipment within the building, whilst the second sector extends externally to the building to provide an additional source of network coverage to items of user equipment external to the building. Through the use of such an apparatus, it has been found that significant improvements in network coverage can be readily obtained, and further the overall spectral efficiency of the network can be enhanced to improve network capacity.
