20090303996COMMUNICATION DEVICE WITH A PATH PROTECTION FUNCTION, AND NETWORK SYSTEM USING THE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - Provided is a network system including a start device and multiple end devices. A point-to-point (P-to-P) logical path is set to be used for unicast communication between the start device and each of the end devices. A first point-to-multipoint (P-to-M) logical path and a second P-to-M logical path are set to be used for multicast communication from the start device to the multiple end devices. The start device transmits data over the first P-to-M logical path. When one of the end devices detects a defect along the first P-to-M logical path, the end device that has detected the defect transmits a switch request over the P-to-P logical path set between this end device and the start device. The start device receives the switch request and transmits data over the second P-to-M logical path.12-10-2009
20100220743BUFFER MANAGEMENT METHOD AND PACKET COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A packet communication apparatus includes a frame buffer of a linked list method and holds chain information and buffer size information, for structuring a linked list buffer for each user flow, in two areas consisting of an operation area and an update area. While usually in service, the buffer is structured by using the chain information in the operation area and the buffer size information in the same area such that the frame is read/written in the frame buffer. When the chain information in the update area and the buffer size information in the same area have been changed, a queue size is changed by reflecting the updated chain information and the updater buffer size information into the operation area, when both the read pointer and the write pointer respectively have gone around the buffer, or when there is no frame stored in the buffer.09-02-2010

20080313409Separating device and separating method - In a separating device that separates a processor configured to perform process by using data recorded in a cache memory connected to the processor, a stopping unit, upon receiving a processor separation request, stops the processor from performing a new process; and a separation executing unit, upon completion of process being performed by the processor, separates the processor after invalidating the data recorded in the cache memory.12-18-2008
20110022742Processor and data transfer method - A processor. In response to requests from a processing section, first and second memory controllers transfer first and second data items to the processing section via first and second buses, respectively. When transfers of the data items are concurrently performed via the first and second buses, one of the data items is transferred to the processing section by the buffer controller, and the other of the data items is stored in the buffer by the buffer controller. Then, after termination of transfer of the one of the data items, the other data item is transferred from the buffer to the processing section by the buffer controller.01-27-2011

20090037547Safety information transmission device - A safety information transmission device includes a reception unit that receives, via a network, safety information indicating whether or not a user is safe, the safety information being received by an information processing terminal if biometric authentication of the user is successful, and a control unit that determines, when a contact method is a contact by an electronic message and a contact destination address is an electronic message address, to transmit the electronic message containing the safety information to the electronic message address.02-05-2009
20100325296AUTHENTICATION APPARATUS, AUTHENTICATION METHOD, AND DATA USING METHOD - An apparatus for authenticating a request includes a receiving unit, an acquiring unit, a determining unit, and a permitting unit. The receiving unit receives a request for a service-related process from a service user via a communication device. The request contains process request information indicating the contents of the requested process and connection identification information unique to the communication device. The acquiring unit acquires the connection identification information contained in the received request. The determining unit determines whether the connection identification information acquired by the acquiring unit exactly corresponds to connection identification information of a communication device that has established an authorized connection. When the two pieces of the connection identification information are determined to exactly correspond to each other, the permitting unit permits performing a process that corresponds to the process request information, which is contained in the request received by the receiving unit.12-23-2010
20100332590Inheritance communication administrating apparatus - A disclosed inheritance communication administrating apparatus including a state administration unit configured to receive a report in a certain timing from a first terminal apparatus, the report includes position data of a content received by the first terminal apparatus, and configured to store the position data, and a list sending unit configured to receive a request for a list from a second terminal, acquire the requested list from a menu server, determine whether there is the content which is being viewed and listened to by a user of the second terminal in reference to the position data, and add to the list the content which is being viewed and listened to as a candidate content and send the list to the second terminal.12-30-2010

20100159851Wireless Transmitting/Receiving Device - In a wireless transmitting/receiving device of TDD system etc., a transmission signal is detected on the transmitting side in a specified transmission period, a signal reflected from an antenna through a circulator is detected on the receiving side in the transmission period and a reception signal is detected on the receiving side in a specified reception period. In this case, in a part of the transmission period a transmission signal having been detected on the transmitting side is selected while in the remaining part of the transmission period a reflection signal having been detected on the receiving side through a circulator from an antenna is selected, and in the reception period a reception signal having been detected on the receiving side through the circulator from the antenna is selected and outputted.06-24-2010
